алсааас [she/they]

huh, was not able to get that from your comment. I usually use “/s” in cases like that

There is no such thing as “FOSS enough” or “not enough FOSS” it’s either free/libre or it’s not

(and ChromeOS most definitely isn’t)

Or open a portal to the (even modern-day) CS-realm and let that energy flow through you and to your mic

Obligatory “I’ve never met a nice South African”

In the past I just recommended and helped set up Linux Mint to soneone new.

Nowadays I almost always go with Universalblue’s Bluefin

tbh this comment just goes to show that your knowledge of GNU/Linux is very outdated

I use neovim btw

I thought it was mpv first

so you run Parabola, Guix or Trisquel or what?

TwT

I’m in my early 20s 💀

Do you disconnect your EOL machines from the internet then?

Bc using an OS that doesn’t get security updates is just asking for trouble, especially if you connect it to the internet

nothing in particular, I was just taken by surprise that a Roblox meme was in my feed lol

This is the first time I’ve seen a Roblox meme template 💀💀

So ppl switching from one VC-funded centralised corpo platform to another VC-funded (slitghly less) centralised corpo platform is a good thing?

big X

just because it’s OSS doesn’t make it good. The corp still hold all the power and might sell out, but at least they got free volunteers to program for them so the C-level could get more money!

(now don’t tell me that Bluesky is “federated”. They still hold all the power over site rules and moderation. The only little concession you get is that you are allowed to host your own data)

as it should be, nobody likes proprietary vendor-locked formats that get shoved down your throat

It will stop being free the second a corporation gets it’s hands on it, makes improvements and put’s those under a proprietary license

I’ve taken up saying “temporarily free/libre” and “permanently free/libre” instead of the permissive/copyleft, since imo “permissive” has a suggestive positive connotation. Especially to ppl who do not know much about the free software movement

surprise surprise: terminally online risers with 4chan lvl takes export their toxicity to everything they touch. thus get rightly hammered
