I once got called the f-slur for having the audacity to read a book in public, outdoors in front of the library.

And iirc the next fedora release will finally unify everything under /usr/bin.

On my current Fedora 40 install /bin is already a symlink to /usr/bin

If you own a home in the area any equity you have there has probably been made pretty worthless. It would make it pretty hard to move if you couldn’t sell your home to afford another.

I love this turtle

This particular trial is for the federal charges in DC.

Firefish has some cool features, but every time I opened it on my laptop the fans would immediately spin up to 100%. It’s not exactly lightweight on the client side.

Slaves don’t have private ownership of their capital (that is, their own labor)… because someone else does.

Most “free” workers, in terms of capital, own only their own labor.

Capitalists own the majority of the capital–land, equipment, intellectual property, etc.

A system where the workers own the capital (aka the means of production) is socialism.

With the exception of some stuff used for windows desktop development, .NET (“dotnet core” is just .NET now) is released under the MIT license. I’m not following how using .NET would be contributing to the “agenda of proprietary software”.

The dotnet cli tools that come with the SDK run just fine cross platforms without Visual Studio. Your Linux distribution probably packages the SDK already, just install and use it.

If you want, you can use C# without .NET by using Unity, mono, or maybe Godot now I think?

I usually file that under “whataboutism”

Unfortunately a lot of the IPFS community seems to have been inundated with crypto nonsense. Which is a shame, since I think the basic idea is a good one.

You should check out IPFS which is pretty similar to what you’re describing, at least for file storage (which can be used to host web content).

Absolutely. They know that Facebook is uncool and unpopular. The Instagram branding still has some capital with the yutes.

Edit: I don’t mean to say that The Verge is doing this intentionally (maybe, I don’t know), but Meta certainly is.

I’m sure it will come to the EU eventually. Probably sooner rather than later.

why American government has not gone after Proton like they did with Lavabit

Lavabit was based in the United States. Proton AG operates entirely in Switzerland. Ostensibly the US government would have to go through the Swiss court system to get anything out of Proton.

That’s just prime.

Thanks for the heads about, I hadn’t heard about this before.

I feel like nature decided this for me when I turned out to be allergic to cats.

There are short descriptions of the various sorting options in the documentation.
