Telegram and Beeper are not awesome.

Either that or Musk himself is truly so incompetent he thinks these kids are true geniuses. Honestly, with how things are going, that’s a fiddy-fiddy chance, because Musk is somehow almost as unbelievably stupid as Trump.
Initially, I didn’t think these kids were fall guys.
Now I think they’re fall guys.
The anti Rust bullshit is gonna kill Linux’s growth.
If DNS gets blocked, can’t sites still be accessed as long as you know the IP or Socket of the server?
Lubuntu has always been solid for me for low spec machines.
With only 2 gb of RAM it will be slow, there is almost no avoiding that part.
Shout out to Brokep, nice to see folks using Njalla.
Like all techbros it is an affectation to cultivate a certain sort of appearance. A type of mad faux intellectualism.
You literally have to be a tryhard to do all lowecase on a phone, for example.
Strong-type for Karl!
Anyone else remember when the Bush administration considered people who read Linux Journal to be targeted for extra surveillance because they labelled Linux Journal an extremist forum for merely discussing the existence of Tor and Tails?
Further, anyone else remember when the Bush admin pushed Total Information Awareness, a program that was collecting the kind of information on US citizens that those same citizens give away freely to Facebook without needing to be surveilled?
I know modern versions of Lemmy have a way to import/export account settings, but I don’t think it’s a full-scale move all your followers thing.
As always, Forbes only wants to profile the most narcissistic people.
Daniel Supernault lists all his apps as developed by… Dan Supernault. Despite the fact that there’s plenty of other people’s fingers all over the Pixelfed github. Hey Dan, we can all see this. Maybe you shouldn’t take all the credit for yourself, yeah?
Further, Supernault left moderation as a backseat activity to fast growth of Pixelfed, leading to a less than stellar user experience since the moderation was weak to nonexistent.
So let’s see…
Thinks growth matters more than a cohesive community.
Labels things that involved the labor of lots of different people as though all the work was done by Daniel Supernault.
He literally named one of the apps after him fucking self. Sup, the WhatsApp wannabe, and I’m really skeptical of the security bona fides here. Things like Matrix, Signal, XMPP and so on already exist but Supernault wants to re-invent the wheel again.
Didn’t take moderation duties seriously instead focusing on explosive growth just like all the corporate apps.
I’m just waiting for number 5 to be this motherfucker pulling a Matt Mullenweg and fracturing the communities because he thinks he owns them.
Just because it’s Open Source doesn’t make it an overall good, especially when the people involved seemingly just want to use the Open Source community to launch their own careers and hope and dreams and fuck all the little people who helped. Sounds pretty corporate to me. See also: Kagi search
TL;DW: Native Wayland support in Wine.
Seconded for Soulseek.
Maybe we’ve been misunderstanding what Closed Source really is this whole time?
It’s a codex holding back “eldritch cognitohazard” horrors that the technopriests of Microsoft have captured and tamed into an operating system. Releasing the source would release the beasts into our reality, much like the plot of John Carpenters In the Mouth of Madness.
Well, figured out one good reason for closed source, I guess. Let’s not solve this LeMarchand’s Box.
I need more IRC screenshots in my life.
You do, especially if its a new game.
I had seen other comments mentioning the same and had considered mentioning that is out of reach for a lot of people but then didn’t.
Like my PC is running STALKER 2 great on the lowest settings, but if I had to run it through a VM first I would lose a lot of performance and probably dip below 60fps.
Most games people want to pirate are brand new so telling them to do something like reformat their (probably only) PC to run baremental Linux with a Windows VM for the game is just silly and unreasonable. At that point you may as well just buy the game if you need a whole extra computer to pirate it safely.
I couldn’t possibly run brand new games in a VM and I only have one computer that can even play modern games. Silly suggestion.
At least somebody still does since all the VAs are getting so old they don’t sound like themselves anymore.
I don’t know why, but it’s very sweet to see Jill Talley and Tom Kenny right next to each other in the cast list. Usually they’re separated since Jill only does minor characters and Tom is the titular Spongebob.
They got married after meeting each other as cast members of HBO’s Mr. Show. Always nice to see them actually paired up.
EDIT: Also the leaked movie is practically Standard Definition and damn Tom and Mr. Lawrence are getting so old they’re struggling to do the voices as clear as they used to.
I had even forgotten that.
I can’t fucking stand that piece of shit Eric Migicovsky. He fucked a bunch of the workers at Pebble on his way out, selling it to Fitbit, and then leaving them hanging when they were promised their jobs were part of the sale.
His whole Beeper breaking into iMessage and then trying to make it work for three days and then just giving up after it became clear Apple was going to fight it. It reeked of complete lack of planning or consideration of the ramifications.
Finally, they never took privacy seriously, and I learned that the hard way during my onboarding in the first year they released. Suffice to say, I bowed out of the onboarding because of their lack of communication and lack of respect for user privacy.
Now he wants back in on Pebble since it got open sourced. He’s building another new company and telling people to join.
I’m sick of this asshole fucking failing upward and fucking everyone each time he does.
But yes, Mullenweg super sucks, too. So it was created by an asshat, ran by an asshat, and then sold to another asshat.
