I agree. I'd like to see them host their own Mastodon and leave a forwarding address on 'X'.

Tesseract hides any post containing the phrase "censoring me"
Thanks for your work uncovering this. Imposing this broad and undisclosed censorship upon the user is unacceptable, so we have stopped hosting Tesseract on our instance.

Never believe the hype.
It's funny to me that the blue tick has gone from meaning 'oh good, this is at least coming from a verified source' to 'this is almost certain to be alt right bullshit'.

White House posts video of immigrants in shackles, calls deportation footage 'ASMR'
How anyone can take issue with calling this government 'fascist' is beyond me.

I was more getting at the headline being worded to imply the corporation is doing the 'gifting' here.

Gaming vs Regular Distros
From what I've seen, there's no real performance difference with a gaming distro. What they tend to offer is an out of box experience that is more tailored towards gaming than a regular distro (think 'game mode', Steam, Proton, and maybe Lutris pre-installed, Nvidia drivers if you need them).

Leminal Space is moving to the EU in 2026
Reply in thread
Yes to all three. Regression of the political climate in the US makes me uneasy about operating services from there (even if it has been via an EU-based company up to this point). EU law also provides strong privacy protections against US overreach via apparatus such as the CLOUD Act and FISA 702, which can potentially allow US federal agencies to compel cloud service providers there to hand over any and all data they request - without any disclosure to us or you. We have been able to secure a more favourable deal on a root server in Germany, so there is some economic motivation.

ICANN approves use of .internal domain for your network
Reply in thread
It's also second only to .com in terms of query volume in ICANN's Magnitude statistics with 980 mil vs .internal's 60 mil. Not sure if that makes it a de facto standard, but it's close.

So sad. Loved him in The Hunt for Red October. Going to watch Possession now as I've never seen it, but it sounds good.
