(considering what’s left behind on Xitter, that’s probably a good thing)

so next we can expect a tirade from Hans Reiser now that ReiserFS was deleted from the kernel?

user level moderation: blocking, muting, and filtering – and block lists, mute lists, and filter lists can all be shared and subscribed and updated

• did you have a chance to test with any GoToSocial or snac2 based instances?
• there’s also moderation issues – a lot of people leaving Xitter are ending up on Bluesky because it has better moderation and onboarding

“There are two types of people: those who back up and those who haven’t lost data … yet.”

aimed at beginners who confuse “hasn’t been updated for a year” with “hasn’t needed to be updated for a year”

once you have some experience under your belt, these are non-issues:

• deciding to “learn Linux” the hard way by starting with a specialized distro (Slackware, Gentoo, Alpine)
• switching to unstable or testing branches before you’re ready ’cause you want bleeding edge or “stable is too far behind”
• playing around with third-party repositories before understanding them (PPAs in Ubuntu, AUR in Arch)
• bypassing the package manager (especially installing with curl | sudo sh)
• changing apps for no other reason than “it hasn’t been updated for a year”

BSD community seems to like snac2

Shantanu Narayen’s still not giving you a free license

Elon decided Microsoft’s Tay chatbot was a guidebook …

Elon Musk removes blocking feature so he can finally see what his kids post

more of a miracle he didn’t copy Johnny Cab …

• the cool kids use Sourcehut
• I use Codeberg

comparing a distro release to a new game release

• pay a LinuxGem each time you open a terminal
• Flatpak is only available as a paid DLC
• use your LinuxGems to purchase randomized LootContainers with a chance of winning a Jellyfin install

(Chris Titus Tech getting blowback last year marking a whole group of distros as “Pointless” when they did nothing more than a reskin or pre-install a couple in-repo packages)

why have menus covering stuff up when you can just use keybinds?

(completely sidetracked here – there’s a reason Dirk Hohndel (and Linus) decided to go with Qt instead of GTK)

still in the setup phase and running LabWC rather than a full desktop – but actually rather enjoying it and have been stumbling across a lot of cases finding out that even with a GUI installed, terminal programs do just as good a job if not better than their graphical counterparts (ex. I don’t think I’ll ever be a full vim/emacs convert, but for basic text editing, nano does just as well as mousepad/leafpad/featherpad/xed/gedit)
