Facebook and other tech companies have shown, time and again, that they will act in the interest of profits rather than defend the privacy of their customers. We must uphold and strengthen privacy laws across the country. eff.org/deeplinks/2018/12/face

@Surasanji How do you even know that?

In addition, does it even matter? Atoms are atoms anyway. *You* were never in a star, maybe your atoms were. *You* were not made by a star, but maybe your atoms were.

@kungtotte I've made many GNU/Linux converts. I install Mint on whoever's computer is acting up. I have had a really good response so far.

@freemo Wow. That is impressive. I am currently running Antergos right now because I don't want to install vanilla Arch Linux right now and have little reason to.

@freemo That is amazing! All I got is my laptop with an i7 8th Gen and 8GB of RAM (upgradable to 32).

What operating system do you got on it?

So my desktop has 32 CPUs and 64 gigs of memory, and 2x nvme 960 pro in RAID 1 configuration. Not to mention 4x Vega 64 water cooled frontier edition graphics card (for OpenCL work).

I'm not even sure I can call this thing a Desktop Computer anymore, its more like a low-end supercomputer. No matter what I throw at it it responds instantly. What a fucking beast!

@freemo That sounds hard. I hope you get better soon.

You should add it on the about us. But a better place would be the corner that says "Mastodon is open source software. You can contribute or report issues on GitHub at tootsuite/mastodon."

And yes, I found the source code. It is somewhat obscure to find though.

The only thing I have against is that it uses an older version of Mastodon, and the source code isn't displayed anywhere I could find.

@varx @celesteh @9M252YDA@kitty.town yes. It is in the name of stability. That way you don't have to worry about updates breaking your system. The update manager is good at labeling different updates at different levels of "safeness" to update.

@fatboy
People is okay with no such thing as "privacy" and they are willing to give away for their privacy and liberty for temporary glitters...

While the people who advocates for privacy are made as "Outcasts"....

If Tor disappeared, what would happen?

Not only would millions lose access, but the diverse ecosystem of privacy, security, and anti-censorship applications that rely on the Tor network would cease to function.

An entire ecosystem relies on Tor. blog.torproject.org/strength-n

@InspectorCaracal @jessmahler Oh wow. That is. Umm. Well, that's what I would do because I'm not so good with PHP. It would be an even worse mess because I don't know SQL yet. LOL.

Actually. That might work...

@fatboy whenever someone has a software issue. I fix it by backing everything up and installing GNU/Linux.

Dear FOSS Community,

We need to make people aware of the Googles, Facebooks and Microsoft of this world. Tell them about FOSS software, get them to use the apps first then we switch them to Linux.
The time is now.

Gru is 14 feet tall and can move at 200 meters per second.

Now before any of you block me for shitposting hear me out. First according to the height of a Minion (which is 3.5 feet on average) Gru is 4 minions tall, which means he is a godly size of 14 feet tall. Second if any of you remember the original Despicable Me, you Know there is a scene when Vector kidnaps the three girls and shoots a series of heat-seeking misses at Gru, he then dodge them all. According to the speed of an average ballistic missile (1900 mph) and the size of the missile according to his ankle size, Gru can perceive and move at such a speed that the missiles only move 9.5 miles per hour, 0.5% of their original speed. Plus after this Gru punches a shark and it is paralyzed meaning its spine is probably shattered, to remind you it would require a force greater than 3,000 newtons to fracture the spine. That’s equal to the impact created by a 500-pound car crashing into a wall at 30 miles per hour. I rest my case.

Nice explanation of how a post reaches one of your timelines.
