The main advantage Facebook has is the network effect. Everybody’s on there so it makes little sense to go anywhere else. That will be very hard to overcome no matter how good the alternatives get.

But dude! SMRs are totally the future! They’ve been the future for the past 30 years! It must be true!

They’re still a bunch of leeches that think they’ve been personally selected by god.

Are you suggesting we should let the line go up more slowly so we can still have a business in a few years? That’s heresy!

Of course. They did the right thing for once. My point is that most of the time they don’t.

The American corporate media have been bending over backwards to normalise the fascist takeover and that’s still not enough for the Nazis. But will that have any real consequences? Of course not.

Next pandemic is gonna be lit.

There’s probably some lightweight Linux distro you can get to run on it. It could be used for some edge computing, like Pihole.

Mint is still a great choice if just for the ease of installation. I agree they’re lagging behind a bit in the transition to Wayland but for most users that’s not really a big issue. Mint also has one of the largest communities so getting support will be easier. To me Mint is still an excellent choice for getting started with Linux. I’ve been using it for years and I see no reason whatsoever to switch.

Seems to have been a big badaboom.

I’m very relieved to hear that at least some people still have some spine.

The Guardian put up a paywall now?

I hear there are some files about that. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to release those?

China is building the future while the US are destroying it.

Thanks.

I have no idea what any of those things are. Which is not to say, you shouldn’t post this here, but a bit of context would be nice.

Going to China to avoid fascism is quite the self own, though.

Not a fan of the paper roll but apart from that it looks great. If they ever sell this at a reasonable price, I’m buying one.
