Love how when the dev of this felt compelled to link to atl, their browser gave them the link with /-/issues at the end. Really shows the effort that went into porting.

Do literally anything but use foolproof desktop apps in a system that cannot revert to a known state.

No, I don’t thing scrubs / balances resume on boot up, they’d have to be started again.

No blocking and static content.

If it HAS to have user-generated content, then 1) it’s an app, not a website 2) have it untraceable to me from it to me 3) shove it in a jurisdiction that doesn’t care. Still no blocking.

No, it makes no sense. Keep looking. Worst case, buy some locally for cash.

Definitely not matrix.

I just wrote a YouTube scraper and exported to RSS and into my podcast client. Using YouTube any other way is masochism in comparison.

Convinces clueless FOSS communities to move off IRC. Onto a unusable protocol designed around netsplits they never cared about, yes, but it’s n o v e l!

Oh yeah. I’ve started Marvel Midnight Suns, and 4 hours of cutscene later they show how you deploy on a mission: by walking on a rainbow bridge or something. I’m like: “brilliant, now that’s a way to disguise loading with something I’m doing, even if it’s just walking” , and then, at a random place of that bridge, an actual loading screen appears for a good minute. What’s wrong with you.

Syncthing, a peer to peer file synchronize that basically everyone needs, they just don’t know it.

All these keys. Still 0.5 keys per thumb. WTF.

I can’t even make it through the maze of your thoughts. Being sponsored by people who make killing utensils = bad, while being sponsored by people who literally kill = good? This is beyond logic.

NixCon Europe gets sponsor money from a military company. Taxpayers of the greatest democracy ever had a knee-jerk reaction, because not only they were having such a nice peaceful day before getting reminded that military exists, and they themselves are sponsoring it, while, clearly, in the enlightened world like ours military = bad, “every rifle made is money taken from good causes”. Also, wars are something that only happens in history books anyway, not, say, present-day Europe, amirite? Tons of internal value dissonance, fediverse buzz and free PR later, said military company gets their money back.

NixCon NA gets sponsor money from the same company, because the value proposition of the previous PR stunt was so sky-high, it’d be negligence to not repeat it. Taxpayers of the greatest democracy ever are reminded once again they don’t have a slightest say say in what they’re funding, so they try their best to not get funded back with their own money and bury their heads back in the sand again. Tons of free PR later, said military company gets their money back.

Now the foundation publishes a sponsorship policy, the community debates whether it is or is not enough to prevent said military company from diverting funds from the stuff they find so revulsing and towards the stuff they are so excited about. This round of free PR is on the house.

What’s gonna happen next, we all wonder.

inb4 “what would you say when the Nix-powered killer drones arrive to your country to start cost-effectively slaying your people”: “it’s 2024, dafuq took you so long”

The hard part is unlearning last century distro mindset, not this.

You need control first. Obtaining it is larger than all of that.

Choosing between a bad option and a worse option is not the control you need.

No. You keep treating the symptoms.

Congrats, you’re 12% there.

Then do it, lol.

And before Pidgin was named Pidgin, it was named GAIM, which was short for GTK AIM, which was short for GIMP toolkit AOL IM, which was short for GNU Image Manipulation Program toolkit America Online Instant Messenger, which was short for GNU’s Not Unix Image Manipulation Program toolkit America Online Instant Messenger and it never ends.
