A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I don't see what there is to gain from this, I don't want mega-corporation in my social media anymore. especially not after what has been happening to their platforms. if their users want to join the fediverse, the account creation process is always open as long as they can follow the rules!
And of course there's always the fact that their end goal will not be good for any of us, no matter what it is there is a 0% chance our interests align
What do you think the odds are this platform was put together with react?
Edit: have a better informed opinion after reading this ariticle. Support every instance that doesn’t federate with them, shun those that do.
I remember Microsoft's dismantling (knee capping) of libre office, and enjoyed the read on XXMP. How quickly people forget the past or think they are different to withstand monopolies cutthroat strategies.
What do you think of LibreOffice today? I use it because I don’t want to install Microsoft crap if I don’t have to.
I work primarily on Ubuntu, last I tried
.xslxand.docx(of course 99.9% of the company is office with office 365) it was a buggy mess of macros and various features not working/porting over. Which is exactly what the article articulated, embrace, expand, destroy.Ah, yeah, there’s some stuff that doesn’t work which can be a little frustrating sometimes.
It seems to be getting better but probably not enough for advanced users yet.
It’s annoying Microsoft succeeded.
That was an excellent read, and exactly what I've been thinking regarding Meta joining.
I mean, all the people I know being here, for one. That'd be a bit of a win.
Doesn't mean I'd have to listen to what they're saying, but it'd be nice if being on a "fediverse" platform didn't mean forcibly cutting off from them.
