The Age of Forks

Maybe won’t be all entirely too bad or doom… I would like to see a silver lining, some FLOSS developers are smarter than trolls.

Here’s a book for a different audience. Explains in layman terms why to be wary about this tech, https://thebullshitmachines.com/

Sounds like that toxic relationship continued through divorce with her making everyone “take sides” and stealing all support. Can’t give you any advice, you could reach out to some of your closest friends… Or, just start fresh with new people… like, moving to a new city or neighborhood.

Good luck! Stay safe and strong :)

This all comes down to my fault

No, it isn’t… Partial responsability, yes. But. Seems to me you’re handling it as best as you can, which may not be enough to some, but still that’s on them. Also, you feel remorse, that’s got to count. Anyway, above all, the gossip is way beyond you…

I do read the docs. Even before trying software, to judge if ot will fulfill my requirements… Rocky Linux is one such example. Great docs, I’d love to try their distro one day :)

I just wanted to clarify the confusion that was in my head for a moment after going after the truth and fact checking. If I buy a pizza with Bitcoin and Lightning Network (which is the only one in use at most legal places), it’s not like I’m using 1600 kWh… The original message is misleading in that regard… Practical and concrete reality are different. But theoretical, if that pizza wanted a normal transaction it would use such amount of energy and take days (that’s why they wouldn’t use that)… So… There’s that.

Anyway, the dichotomy ‘AI or Crypto’ is false. I am not taking sides. But you do you, enjoy.

That’s not true if you were to use off-chain transactions (i.e. lightning network)

Copyright is always stupid

I bet other vendors implemented similar optimizations and have the same issues. That’s how it’s been in several occasions…

Continued expansion or ever-increasing profits is a definitive characteristic of the system though. Enshittification is just the latest feature it found, for software-based companies.

One could also argue that enshittification is independent to software, like diluting juice or other “innovations” that products received…

Instances can close registrations if there are too many bots, and somehow it could be okay. Bots aren’t impossible to fight, the problem is that capitalist platforms support or ignore the issue since for them is somewhat convenient driving engagement… Or whatever ad-revenue system is behind that.

Transphobes iirc

Still waiting for the year of the linux phone…

These produce excruciating pain, I prefer toilet paper :')

Reminded me of results at https://marginalia-search.com/explore/random albeit on a modern take

You’ve got my memes

Where are you? I can recommend idealo.de & check24.de to find low prices over all the retailers with online store (e.g. mediamarkt, otto, etc.)

specially when I don’t see anyone, I don’t want to keep sweeping my eyes through mirrors…

those that don’t use blinkers at all do use mirrors, right? OH.

Imagine having two keyboards just to put your hands in each of them and, like play 4 keys from each… without moving your arms at all…
