That's not rhetorical. I'm really open to the possibility that I'm missing something. It seems like people who have more concerns about privacy and safety have the ability to organize their mastodon instance so it is locked down by default. And they can open up selectively. Yes, it puts more onus on you to make decisions rather than depending on other people to do the right thing. But again, I guess I thought that was the tradeoff people were making intentionally.

@tsugumi I tried to watch it until it loops. I can now add "lost a staring contest with an anime girl picture" to my achievements.

Mozilla neglecting its core product for years and losing marketshare while the suits that run it flail around wildly feels really true to its Netscape heritage.

@icedquinn honestly rossman does the same, one of his semi-recent videos was hard to watch for me since he repeats every point like 5 times at various portions of the video and actual deduplicated content could fit in ~4mins

On the topic of amazing instance administration, what was the anarchist-aligned instance the unencrypted database of which got seized by police from an admin's home or something like that?

no centralised social network could ever produce "the taliban deleted my account". that's a mastodon special.

They set up a queer instance under Afghanistan TLD XD

@BrodieOnLinux yes it is, I was astounded that nobody recommended it to me when I was going through Arch, Gentoo and the like when NixOS has all of their advantages and none of their PITA. At the same time if you know what you want it's both easier to use and more stable than "easy" distros like Ubuntu that shit the bed as soon as you try to venture off the beaten path. 9/10

@rad pamiętam jak za dziecka byłem ciągany po zabytkach, pięknej architekturze, sztuce, historii. Zdychałem z nudów. Wpadnięcie do mcdonalda było bardziej interesujące bo przynajmniej mogłem się bawić na zjeżdżalni.
Dzieci nie są przystosowane do doceniania takich rzeczy, to przychodzi z wiekiem. Żadnych reklam i tiktoków do takiej sytuacji nie potrzeba.

@jason @fribbledom you can literally put a piece of plastic in place of the screen, saving the cost of the screen without changing anything else about the manufacturing.

I don't like US politics but can't not be aware of the most internationally important stuff, and Jesus man, the only explanation for how Democrats choose their presidential candidates post-Obama is that they vote who they want to be chosen the least and somewhere along the way the list gets flipped.

@icedquinn yeah but that's the thing, browsers are hell and nobody wants to develop them, so everyone uses the ones that are already developed and actively worked on by someone else. If that stops being the case they'll have no other way.

@icedquinn it's worse than the Chrome thing, if Google decides to abandon Chrome, all the Chromium people can pick up the torch and develop it. Using Google's index just means you're screwed if anything ever happens to it.

Congrats to @collabora for bringing DRM-CI to life!

We badly need a cross-driver CI solution that isn't mailing-lists-based and largely opaque to developers. We need CI that is integrated in the development workflow and that provide guarantees about code quality, not just a service that can be ignored by chance or malice.

It isn't perfect though as it inherits testing methodologies better suited for userspace testing, but kernelCI is no better in this regard ;)
