I always kind of thought of KDE as “okayish” but ever since plasma 6 I’m a convert! Hope to see some excitement for these projects in the coming years - it feels to me that KDE is reaching a maturity that could attract a critical mass.

I’m sure then you’ve also seen the basement of Cosmic Pizza

And yet you’re still here

Unfortunately it’s not going to stop ill-informed Americans from sneering “yeah, how’s that communism going for CHEEYIANAH” if you mention Medicare for all

This take is riddled with naivety.

Not only will Meta read, train AI on, aggregate and datamine, and correlate this data with your real identity, but when Meta announces that “the easiest way to be on the fediverse is to just use Threads” then all the people who avoided Mastodon because it was “too complicated” to sign up, all the people who are basically already signed up because they scroll Insta all day, will go with Threads instead of spreading the load out.

As smaller instances start to drop off under the load, under the lack of interest as threads grows and they shrink, merely mirroring the traffic of a centralized corporate entity, users start to flock to threads for its reliability and speed.

Then Meta pulls the plug, since “no one really used this ActivityPub thing anyway, it was too technical”.

Threads isn’t about beating “X” (lol X is in a death spiral, it’s only a matter of time), it’s about ensuring the Fediverse never rises up.

See what happened with Google Talk and XMPP.

Now do One Piece

It might not be a good idea to create a device that sucks all the oxygen out of an enclosed space meant for a human during operation 💀

Trollops and scallywags

OP:

I run Arch btw

Yeah, parler, gab, and voat…

This. I love the science SpaceX is doing. I love the EV momentum Tesla created (even if their own products are proving to be less than stellar, no pun intended).

Musk is a huge tool though.

If “Xitter” is pronounced “shitter” then I can finally get behind the rebrand

VHS won because you could record more than 30 minutes on a tape

Yeah, Linux users have always had a blind spot for dependency hell when talking about freedom of choice.

Snap seemed like a cool idea until I tried it

Lol straight up told on himself live in the comments

Uninstalling the entire kubuntu package, while reverting to “core Debian” and then installing the Ubuntu package would be more complicated and time-consuming than installing a new OS.

Just partition off your /home and a reinstall won’t be that big a deal.

Isn’t Hexbear the ex-ChapoTrapHouse subreddit that started their own sub with blackjack and hookers?

I.e. they created (and, importantly, modified) their own Lemmy instance. And, supposedly, they’re working to fix what they broke, so they can rejoin with the larger fediverse without losing their content?

So before we wax paranoid about the intentions of lemmyworld admins, shouldn’t we consider that this might just be a temporary measure to prevent technical issues while they bring their fixes into production?

Let’s just wait until LW admins make their announcement before we pass judgement. I fully agree there is no political reason to defederate from them. I don’t know if their community is problematic but everything I’ve heard would suggest otherwise. And I do not know the timeframe or technical details of their supposed plan to refederate. So again, while I agree with you, I think perhaps it is a bit early for speeches.

The Tower of Power? Psssh, witness my Fortress of Solitude

fascist

Marxist/ Communist

Those two things are opposites…you buzzword concern troll
