I have a bad feeling that this will not end well if it's left to run its course.
What happened to the days when people just took a chance and tried something new and waited for the results to come in? What do they have to lose by giving Mastodon or the Fediverse a try except a certain amount of time and effort? The idea of having to analyze everything and scraping data from user bases before making a decision to freely jump in and give it a try is getting a bit absurd.
Roger definitely has talent and contributed a lot to Pink Floyd, but David's influence is undeniable. Gilmour had a way of really capturing an audience and was able to bring them along 'for the ride' whereas Waters seemed to be trying to push something upon you whether for good or bad.
I don't think most corporations using RHEL are overly concerned about all the issues that Red Hat's moves/decisions have upon the general Linux community. Their main concerns are for support for in the infrastructure they already have running RHEL. As long as RHEL continues to provide services and support per their contractual agreements, I don't foresee any major shifts.
However, I would love to see a corporate shift from RHEL > Debian.
I really appreciate the link! Too many of the shows I want to hear are during times I'm unable to listen.
I keep forgetting to open up this stream (*smacks forehead). I enjoy the genuine discussions/music on aNONradio over the stale, commercial/superficial ones that bombard the local airwaves everyday.
I’ve been using eBay since 2007. I just don’t see any benefits to using Amazon over them.
However, I did use Amazon back in the day when they only sold books and I couldn’t find what I was looking for in local bookstores. But Amazon has changed for the worse since those bygone days.
I started delivering newspapers when I was 10 years old. The problem I inevitably ran into was that certain people didn’t want to pay for the product and I was out the money I had to pay to initially buy the newspaper for them.
When customers refused to pay for their subscription, I stopped delivering their newspaper.
While nobody wants an Internet behind a paywall, there does need to be a certain equilibrium between content and services while maintaining the ability to fund and perpetuate them.
But, I agree that the whole modern ad and marketing system is completely rotten.
If you’re looking for faster updates, you might want to give Obtainium a try. I’ve been using it and it works great.
For those of us in the US, the Fairphone is finally arriving. I agree with those that push for sustainability and repairable devices as this is another avenue that returns more control and ownership back to the user while also reducing the amount of e-waste that is produced.
If only we can get such a device that runs GrapheneOS.
I ran into the same issues from time to time. I eventually found a server that wasn't overcrowded and even my abysmal 21k dialup connection made the game playable during the early morning hours when most of the servers weren't overloaded.
This is a great point that you bring up. I subscribe to an IRC channel that has bridges to both Telegram and Matrix. My feelings at this point, is that the weakest link is going to be of the most concern. But how all this technology interoperate with each other and how they actually handle privacy/security together is a question I cannot answer.
