Oh wow, thanks for the recommendation. This looks perfect.

Probably Steam Deck users with that handheld device in one hand and their handheld device in the other.

Linux has always had a strong showing over there. If I had the misfortune of living there I’d certainly want all the privacy and autonomy I could get…

Neat. What does your OS tell you it is?

The kernel recently surpassed 40 million lines of code, so there’s lots of room to add more fucks and shits.

You really like metaphors.

No, I pretty much only look at the number of contributors (more is better)

Hello vegan, I’m dad.

Sounds pretty rapey to me.

If they do achieve decentralization in the future I’ll gladly call it decentralized, but “tangible plans” don’t warrant use of a descriptor like that. If someone is training in the hope of making their country’s Olympics team they don’t get to call themselves an Olympian. You have to have gone to the Olympics to justify that title. Working towards decentralization is the same thing. You don’t get to call yourself decentralized just because you wrote it down as a goal on your roadmap.

I don’t think that it’s accurate to say that bluesky is “completely” centralized (it is less centralized than most social media) as much as it’s de-facto centralized.

That’s like me calling myself a millionaire because I could theoretically be one at some point in the future. I am de facto not a millionaire, but I also have more than zero dollars. so I’m not completely a non-millionaire.

Also theres already another instance and relays running on a raspberry pi.

Oh yeah? I can join that second server right now and communicate with folks on the main server?

I stopped reading when the “journalist” asked this question:

How did you end up starting a decentralized social platform?

How little research must one do to credulously repeat that PR talking point for a platform that is in fact completely centralized?

Really, can you point out which section that’s in? All I find is “creating fake accounts or content, including fake reviews”, which doesn’t apply here if the person does use the service.

ou’re not allowed to review your own companies software

Says who? They can still be a user of it.

Yeah, I`m all for roasting Plex but nothing about that review is inappropriate or prima facie untruthful.

Distrobox and Flatpak are more than enough at this stage for most programs

Maybe for you, but personally I could never get by with only that. I have zero interest in atomic distros. To me they look like an inferior version of NixOS, which I have yet to fully wrap my head around. Until then I’ll stick to Arch (BTW)

Ubuntu in the mid 2000s, but it’s PopOS that made me a fulltimer ~2 years ago. I don’t use it anymore but I’ll always be thankful for it.
