    We will welcome hackers!!
    Heroes we will need but won’t deserve.

    Megacorps will stream constant ads directly to your brainhole & cause pain if you don’t consume enough - even a rickroll will be a big improvement from the dystopian reality.








  • Yes, so the ease of the whole onboarding process & communities/groups that migrated there.

    No arguments on the first one (tho stupid on both sides).

    What my brainhole is telling me is that the second argument feels a tad too big seeing how Mastodon basically didn’t grew in the same timeframe. What they call “content” and “community” creation feels driven, the “wave” as you put it.

    (But again, this is just imho & ‘a feeling’, I have no sauce, not even that much personal experience)


  • It’s slightly more than a green(blue?)washed Twatter.

    The fact it’s getting such a stellar rise over Mastodon is imho a bit sus - people behind it have coin & reach (political), I’m sure monies are being pumped into the bluesky sensationalization, like influences & media articles.

    Twatter has/had a lot of monetization potential & now is even more of a (really incredibly direct) political-tool, there are bound to be interest groups that would benefit from cutting it a bit. But all of them want more monies, so they ofc won’t help fossy things.





  • And furthermore - the companies in question are true megacorps, ie evey bit of additional power/money they get (and for the matter of this pov: you give them) goes to absolutely the shorties practices and abuses ever.

    It’s a moral thing - I protect my data for the same reason I recycle or consider my (indirect*) carbon footprint.

    (*indirect bcs more like which companies or people I support)

    With your data you support misinformation, deregulation lobbying, (any) government shitty things, ad culture, anything to protect the stock market as-is or their stock falls, dogshit approach to keeping their respective monology over their market, … and their size and reach allows them to just be bigger than a lot of things like municipalities, even smol countries, the quid-pro-quo aint in the peoples favor.

    I simplified example (bcs someone else already made it happen) - imagine, if Google autonomous cars go on sale, suddenly railways projects disappear around you.



  • People that chose the “red” drive … Once you install Ubuntu a mysterious shaman will once again introduce you to the red and blue choice, … well, I mean, not exactly, it will be just a giant bag of mixed pills drives for different distros and the ominous warning be like “you only really need to take one, but there is no actual limit”.


  • Im not using Fedora (nor Debian or Mint), I like my weeds to tumble & my susey to be open.

    Also I … wouldn’t ask which distro is easer to install just to switch to that one bcs of that reason. Sounds redundant.

    But with Proxmox (a hypervisor) for virtual machines Debian is my go-to (as with most users everywhere) and Im too lazy for templates so I install a few Debians from scratch now and then - and it takes like no time. So I was wandering if Mint just has less steps or some other friendliness tricks.
