I haven’t had this problem. It could be the filesystem you’re using? Sometimes Linux gets weird with Windows filesystems. Try formatting it to ext4.

You still have to go through the central hub. You can’t spin up your own, wholly independent Bluesky. You can only make your own node.

Which AI is the ethically-sourced one

“Fair wages, working conditions, and healthcare” isn’t the left. Those positions are centrist. The far left wants to do stuff like abolish the government. I’d still pick them over the far right, but abolishing the government is a pretty fuckin’ bad idea.

The guardrails seem to have come down

They don’t seem to, they definitely have. Remember that Supreme Court ruling that said the president can break the law?

Flip you, you’re a silly sausage!

I think Mastodon does fine, too, but I’ve often heard people complain about the lack of an algorithm. Like, they don’t know how to find things if they aren’t being shoveled into their feed

Believe it or not, I’ve met people like this. I know a guy who was worried about showing a movie to our Meetup group.

Can proprietary software be justified?

What were the smart and sane ones even doing there in the first place.

Here you go.

What I heard is that it comes from Yet Another Quake (terminal), which comes from a tradition in programming of naming an application “Yet Another (something)”, and they changed the Q to a K because KDE.

cd > zoxide

• Clementine - music player
• yakuake - terminal
• fish - command line
• Geany - text editor
• eza - replacement for ls
• zoxide - replacement for cd
• bat - replacement for cat
• Librewolf - replacement for Firefox
• Brave - replacement for Chromium

Leave it to cryptos to make simple things stupidly difficult. This whole piece you quoted was hilarious, but this part especially stuck out for me:

The base protocol doesn’t use tokens, which lets people who don’t have interest in cryptocurrency (yet) use it for free

I didn’t see the word “blockchain” anywhere.

Verily?

Does Matrix 2 have channels?

I’m not sure I know what you’re talking about. Is it the global menu?

Dude sounds like he could’ve been the Phillip K. Dick of computing.
