I mean, many open source projects offer paid subscriptions for hosting their service for you, in the world of hosted applications. So I mean, there are ways to monetize free software, indirectly.

ehh, I don't care about politics, I care about performance and features. Mullvad lacks port forwarding, and the speed was always inconsistent for me.

Switched to windscribe, it's been solid so far.

"What we have been through is only a small, small part of what Palestinians have experienced. "

Say what you will of Greta, but her ability to remain humble is truly admirable.

ngl, this is partially why I enjoyed deleting facebook in 2012. The ability to just impulsively compare myself to others is far too common on sites like that, so the freedom of not even having to worry about mistakenly glancing too long at an old friends profile is never a concern I have.

yeah, my kid has already figured out that live commenting on powerpoint slides with their classmates is basically instant messaging

Even though you can tell she was shaken by this, it's clear she hasn't lost her sense of purpose.

Expose corrupt minds, if they are so proud of what they do, so strong and fearless, yet they cower when the light shines on them. Cowards parading as warriors.

Definitely piqued my interest, I will follow Rachel Gilmore on her reports. She definitely has a message worth protecting!

Literally haven't regretted a single day since I left that platform, fuck reddit

and this is why I basically never login to any google account anymore, unless it's in a container.

It's not YOUR account, it's theirs.

None of the id fields in the systemd db are required to be filled. This is useless. Simply don't put any personal info in, and bam, you're already liberated, from laws that aren't even in effect yet!

episode #205 of How big tech is ruining tech again

See, I find, that "critically acclaimed" and "popular" usually don't go well together. However, something with just critical acclaim from people I like (and sometimes a Criterion release) tends to be some of the most amazing things I've ever witnessed.

But to the meme's point, Tarkovsky's Solaris was boring, and hard to understand for me, so much so I didn't ever finish it. I'll have to try again maybe from a different perspective.

I did used to feel odd back when I would bike to the gym, because I realized I was already a little tired by the time I got to the gym, but just sucked it up and figured it could only make me more healthy. For years I biked everywhere, work, school, hangouts etc . . .And some peers would complain about back pain or odd health problems, and I'm thinking well maybe an active life is worth all the effort.

"Charges pending"

Gotta love how its "save the kids, protect the future" up until thier precious cars are at stake.

shoutout to ffmpeg!

all billionares are a policy failure. 60% of billionaire wealth comes from inheritance, monopolies, and cronyism.

They are not superheroes, benevolent gods that are here to help humanity, save that shit for the movies.

I know it's a normal thing, to not instantly look for alternatives to software you might have used for your entire life, and I get it, if it hasn't harmed you or done you wrong, then it's probably fine to stick with what you know.

But as someone who first experienced alternatives to Windows back in 2006, and like others who walked the more beaten path, we've grown tired of this stuff. The slow, decline of Windows, and the promise of something better with every update.

It won't surprise me if one day they decide to full send it and charge a monthly subscription to use the full OS, not one bit. Enshittification, it's bound to happen. I'm teaching my child about linux now, so they'll be aware that software doesn't have to suck.

Try something different, it's a good way to live, to know you don't have to remain where you are if you don't want to. Of course, only if you want to!

$25, on release day, without DRM? LFGGGGG!!!!

Hmmm, the country where Torvalds is from has the highest linux desktop market share? Not that surprising, but still cool!

navidrome, self-hosted is what I use. Personally, the less I have to contact google's servers for the media I enjoy, the better.

Sorry I don't have better advice, but alongside soulseek, lucida.to, and torrents, I have way more music than I think I'll ever be able to listen to in my lifetime.
