This is the first good news I’ve read all day

Amending the constitution would take 38 states to get on board IIRC and is not a quick process anyway. The republicans do not control 38 state governments.

And if you look back before fission, modern physics has a pretty well documented history. You can generally start at Maxwell, move forward to the guys who were trying to rectify the predicted speed of light vs observed speed of light, quantum physics, etc. I spent half a year getting real deep into it but you could probably teach the gist of pre-1945 nuclear physics in an afternoon

Don’t want to pile on but the lack of a web client in favor of a Windows Store client really kills this for me. I mean, I’m not even on windows so it’s a deal breaker anyway. Would love to get this talking to Lutris somehow.

Also going to pile on a bit about your use of Discord, it is walling off information in a proprietary communication channel. Support tickets should be handled on the web so others can easily tack on if they are experiencing the same issues etc.

Of course this is anecdotal but I haven’t seen that - most of the disdain I’ve seen is towards new instance admins who don’t take proper steps to moderate stuff or prevent spammy signups.

Is “keeps asking for the password” the definition of “unusable on Linux”?

I have zero issue using this on Linux fwiw; yes, I am asked for password again on BW when I reboot/start my system. That is not inconvenient to me.

Does that invalidate his point regarding enshittification?

I think it might matter if Cory came out and said, I am starting an org with the resources to fix it. But I don’t see how this tidbit is relevant for a guy who coined the term about what’s happening here and has been beating the drum about the problem.

Sure, but there are other ActivityPub protocol softwares that have quote replies and moderation, that aren’t Mastodon. I think the challenge is getting the average user to seek out an instance running one of those softwares and not just mastodon dot social.

I feel like some of that was just manufactured in the press to sow discord.

This x 1000. I’ve had a buddy razz me over using plain, simple Debian because it’s not bleeding edge and the packages are out of date in some cases. bro I don’t care I just want to play some games and occasionally use LibreOffice for some stuff.

This is cool to see. I tried my hand at running an instance most of last year but threw in the towel this past January. It was just me and 1-2 other active users and none of this software is wide spread enough to have a good solid support community. I really appreciate the people out there dedicating their time and other resources to making this work. (Truthfully, I didn’t put a ton of thought into how and where I was hosting my instance before inviting others to sign up, which is on me, and I think is what ultimately came back to haunt me down the line - my GoToSocial instance is much healthier, for example)

I think it’s lifetime of the creator + 70 years, so unless they die in the next several years… no, the copyright on the album would outlast whatever they perhaps sampled illegally…, but maybe they sampled someone younger than them like a Taylor Swift…

Who fucking knows

Classic overconfidence - “I have installed a hard drive before, what could they possibly be trying to tell me on that paper?”

I learned and won’t make that mistake again… until I do

When I bought some of these earlier this year, the re-seller included an adapter that blocked those pins to prevent the reset issue. Didn’t know what they were for at first and almost tossed them. (I should have read the included slip of paper)

I like RawTherapee for this as well. It’s been a while since I tried Darktable tho, maybe I should give it another chance.

Starting to look cloudy for southern US (Texas, Arkansas). This sucks.

Culture change takes a while; I feel like even if they replaced everyone at the top with safety minded engineers to run the company, it would be some time before they dig themselves out of the hole they created for themselves.

The Curse

I love flatpaks

Apparently this is what I always needed in my life.
