@carcosa @gerrymcgovern PeerTube sounds like it has some sort of peer to peer built in. So if both my neighbour, and I am watching the same show, the server only has to send the data to one of us.

Or how about we could add a show to our watchlist, and Netflix could multicast once to everyone wanting to see a show this evening. Local buffering.

Remember when we used to wait days or weeks for DVD's to arrive in the mail?

Surely we can wait an hour.

Or just consume less in general.

look ma, I'm going to speak at LibrePlanet this year!

Seriously. The biggest problem with #StarTrek is that when you grow up with it (like I did) you think adults are all going to be good-natured and responsible and highly-skilled. Then when you actually grow up you end up working with Larry the Cable Guy and wondering what you did to deserve this.

fraid I don't know, I only came up with that possibility when asked to briefly look into what it would take to implement it in GCC, where I didn't think it would fit. I figured GDB had the full-program context it would take, unlike GCC, that sees one translation unit at a time, and that was the extent of my involvement. if anything came out of it, I probably wasn't told, but if I was, I forgot. FWIW, I haven't ever interacted with a language server, this was all an exercise of imagination many years ago.

Also: and they should have sub-hour 24/7 oncall.

Also Also: and they need to have a sub-hour public response time.

Also also also: they need to hire a comms team

Also also also also: What do you mean those things cost money?

half of any job, including life, is simply showing up and being fully present

@RL_Dane
It is by design intended to be a personal desktop system. Honestly, nowadays there is little need to share your computer with household members, so this is largely not a pressing issue.

@Daojoan my side is: I want free software on my own computer to tailor my online experiences to my interests and needs.

Platforms can provide their offerings in a way that enables my tools to choose for me.

For personalization, they then don’t need information about me: they have to provide information about themselves.

@cstross @lispi314 @froztbyte So before Linux even existed, we destroyed it .. interesting concept. What next, we get blamed for climate change? And if you think "pull package source, debug from there" is easier than hitting SPACE .. I suppose the earth is flat as well.

I'd have expected a little more fact checking coming from a journalist. your timeline doesn't even begin to make sense. GNU promoted a consistent, accessible and richer documentation format than preexisting man pages, but if developments by third parties that started at least a decade later caused fragmentation and incompatibilities, well, I'm sure one can make up ways to pin that on GNU somehow, even if it makes no sense

@hesgen The qoto.org website had a notice, at least on Sunday.

As for not seeing the platform having a future, you may want to get your vision checked.

@hesgen it's normal for free/cheap instances where you don't have as deep a support system.
You can easily move to another instance as #mastadon has account portability.
Or like me, take the time to get off line and do IRL stuff

FireFox native deb is noticeably faster than the default Snap. Bet it has no issues saving to /tmp or opening links with applications either.
