Cool. Now use the data to get them all blacklisted on dating sites, that should reestablish some semblance of balance.

No, it's only code and pixels 🙂

It would make so much more sense to fund existing Linux development than making a new distro, tbh.

If the EU changed to Linux systems and donated the same amount back to open source development as they currently pay for Microsoft licenses, that would make a hell of a difference.

[-] halm@leminal.space 41 points 1 month ago

Such odd choices here. Why should the EU make its own version of Linux when they could invest in existing project and kernel development? Given the recent sacking of Russian kernel developers, do we want further politicisation of Linux development?

the adoption of the E/OS mobile operating system for government devices

Just no. There are way better solutions than /e/, and suggesting device and OS lock-in like this doesn't exactly inspire trust. In my eyes, that idiosyncracy detracts from the generally positive suggestions of getting public administrations away from corporate platforms and OSes.

I didn't want to pay for their search engine before, and this garbage sure as hell isn't going to change my mind.

Give it three days, it'll rise again.

"AI" went automatically to the list of so-called features that will make me drop a product like it's on fire:

❌ Uses "artificial intelligence"

❌ Needs an internet connection (barring actual computers)

❌ Always-on microphone/camera

❌ Phones home to manufacturer's or third party servers

❌ You buy the hardware, we lease you the software

❌ Fire hazard

❌ Toxicity and/or radiation

❌ Exposed wiring

❌ "Spring surprise" chocolate variant

❌ Actual killer bot

A quick look in the modlog shows that less than a year ago moderators deleted a post you wrote called

Reddit is dangerous. The admins are out of control. Humanity needs a viable alternative. – Blog covering the Reddit admins retaliating against me

(The emphasis is mine)

Looks like you have a history of writing inflammatory posts, feeling persecuted about them being removed, and then going off on rants about it.

Some people may take a dump in public spaces, but don't call for changes to civic statutes so that their shit can be preserved for perpetuity. Please follow that example.

BECOME BITCOIN BECOME LIGHTNING

LOL, not in a million years. Dumping this like the cryptocurrency infected garbage it is.

Phanpy, a mastodon frontend is somehow going to co-lead a battle against Meta? I'm not at all against unionising, but it sounds like you're cherry picking whatever you personally happen to use as representative of the fediverse.

Yeah, don't offer open signups, kids.

Let's define "stealing" and "business" here.

  1. Influencers don't produce anything, nor do they add intrinsic value to products they promote. Not much business to that if you ask me.

  2. They do already compete fiercely for brands' atention so every successful influencer by definition has "stolen" potential income from others.

If you want to split hairs, influencers' work is creating an idealised image that they project to peddle products. If AI can outmatch them in that regard, I see no problem with that.
