They did a lot of good for the FOSS community for many years. Unfortunately, those days are long gone.

That is one nice thing about F-Droid. They compile the binary like Linux distros do.

Yeah, that’s an archaic mindset. Most people would rather get a text these days.

XFCE is seriously underrated.

Ooh are we still doing beans?!

I’m gonna play Devil’s Advocate here…

What’s to stop them from scraping the Fediverse without federating? If they really want the data, they could very well find a way. At least they’re spelling it out here and announced an attempt at proper federation.

Broadband ISPs also had protected monopoly or duopoly status for a really long time. It’s been fucking hilarious watching the cable company freak out because T-Mobile 5G is a viable option in my area now.

English lost its genders pretty much by accident.

BeeHaw defederates from popular instances because they want a safe space.

Absolutely. If you can’t look at your own side critically, you’re in a cult.

Yeah, Reddit was famously open to third party developers for 15 years or so, and now they and their bootlickers are claiming they didn’t know that there were third party apps using the API to browse the whole site.

Even the Apollo dev said nothing but good things about Reddit because they were very transparent with him until they decided to paywall the API. Nobody saw this coming.

Yeah, I’m on The Site Formerly Known As Twitter for artists, not gossip. Fortunately, the artist who drew my avatar (and who is a dear friend, Arsbin) is also on Mastodon, but she’s about the only one. TwitterX exploded in popularity in Japan when Elon took over for some reason, so my other dear friend, Nami, probably won’t leave anytime soon.

.com was a common file extension for MS-DOS executables, which was still in common use when the Internet started taking off.

I’m waiting for .7z because it doesn’t nag me to register it.

Seriously. We need to cut them some slack because nobody expected Reddit to go full Elon in May.

I’ve had several people here already tell me (directly or indirectly) that I’m really a Trump supporter in disguise because I dare criticize Biden and centrists don’t exist. But that isn’t a problem specific to Lemmy, and the sites that aren’t like this are alt-right “Ultra MAGA” cult sites that I want nothing to do with.

Just further proving my point that the political binary is the problem with this country.

I am pro-union, pro-LGBT+ rights, pro-human rights, pro-choice, believe in knowing your rights when dealing with the police, pro-marijuana, and not religious.

But the fucking moment I mention that I don’t like Biden or the way they handled the pandemic, suddenly all you assholes shut down and argue as if I’m a fucking Trump supporter. Fuck off with that bullshit. Vote Blue No Matter Who is a fucking cult just like Trumpism is.

ETA: I’m fucking glad Trump is being indicted because I’m fed up with him and his cult. I’m hoping they throw the fucking book at him.

Gotta love the binary view of politics in this country.

I’m referring to people who work from home, never leave the house, and get everything delivered, and think that everybody else should do the same. And if they leave the house, they’re irresponsible. It blows my mind that there are people with lockdown nostalgia out there.
