On the other hand, discord is a great way to help organize a community wiki.

When you are trying to build a community

…Don’t use community software, got it.

Yeah…wifi.

Good luck!

Deb is short for both spellings.

Deb & Ian

ZFS? pf?

The tooling is just superior in some cases.

One of Ubuntu’s strengths from an enterprise perspective is that it produces server and desktop solutions that require minimal cross-training to support both.

My grandmas and I are pen pals. I text my parents.

I got on facebook to meet girls at university, not to keep up with family. I slowly got off facebook when my friends from university quit posting anything useful.

My other sort of anonymous social media stuff was on reddit and now Lemmy.

My Dad has had a post-it note above his computer for years, “Crl-C Copy, Crl-V Paste”

First off I’d like to point out you are asking to compare a family of distributions to a kernel. Not quite a 1-to-1 comparison.

Sustinctly: BSD licenses are more permissable for developers, GPL licenses (aka Linux) are better at preseving freedoms past developers have handed down to us.

As a non-developer end user, both are about the same, although because of the nature of the GPL, you can find a wider bredth of free software for it in 2023.

Dude runs one of the world’s most popular websites and he can’t turn a profit with 20 years of free content and free labor.

You tell me who’s the fucking loser…

Every user they lose they’ll replace with 10 bots.

This isn’t about longterm thinking, this is a push to control how many “users” they can put on their IPO docs. Steve and the current board (VC monies) are going to cash out and what happens to Reddit after the IPO is the least of their worries.

Every fewer third-party app is one fewer datum that they are lying about the number of real, fleshy users. This has nothing to do with AI training or APIs or anything but legitimizing bot activity to pump up the numbers.

Facebook and google have been selling ad “impressions” to people of questionable realness for decades at this point.

Losing that 10% is nothing compared to the bot traffic he’s about to claim are legit daily users on his IPO reports.

I used Sync up until last week.

Won’t be back.

It’s been 13 years and the only applications found have been in fraud.

Over and over, blockchain is a solution to a question nobody asked.

Yeah they’ve been completely inept for years.

They have something else in common: Bots.

And then there’s one more thing in common: they get paid for bot activity just the same as organic activity so they’re incentivized to under-report the problem.

Before the IPO happens, they have to rid themselves of third-party clients so that the app store numbers can’t be extrapolated to verify site-wide user activity.

I also can’t stand all these fuckin’ normies. 🙃
