WTF. What could possibly go wrong. Flip phone here I come.

Ok I used to feel sorry for non-libre streaming software users, but this is now in “one born every minute” territory. Thanks.

What the heck is this thing? Should many of us care?

Article doesn’t say what kind of food. Bah.

Yeah I’m interested in the topic but am not up for watching an almost 2 hour documentary.

It’s a substack (ugh), but you can click “no thanks” under the email field and it takes you to the article, which is by Ryan Grim. The article is somewhat hard to understand though, as it jumps between a few different topics.

So, I’m sticking with Lemmy. It’s not perfect, but at least it’s real. Maybe we’ll get the true decentralization we’ve been promised one day

I thought we had Usenet since the 1970s.

Rep. Joe Morelle, the top Democrat on the House Administration Committee which oversees the Library of Congress and U.S. Copyright Office, is alleging it is “no coincidence [Trump] acted less than a day after [Perlmutter] refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.”

Who needs Russia for that? Is it because of the 4chan outage?

Background story from 2023. Multiple violent incidents and steroids and $30K cash were found in the guy’s car:

He was sentenced to 5 years in prison in CA but served less than 1, due to prison overcrowding. Apparently he was considered a nonviolent offender, wtf.

Thanks, that was informative. Appears to be 'roid rage behind the road rage.

I didn’t know REI was taking such a bath. It’s full in yuppie fashion now. It once was cooler but much smaller.

For what it’s worth, there’s an FSF article that addresses this:

Whether it’s persuasive is of course up to you to decide ;).

Waiting for claims that the election was stolen and that Trump was the real winner.

I bless your computer, my child.

no end in sight

Can it actually go below zero? I’m new at this.

If Mozilla died would I quickly be finding a larger chunk of websites that aren’t supported?

Likely yes, as Google will keep enshittifying the web unless stopped by antitrust or whatever. Which isn’t looking so likely.

clubhouse.com? I don’t know anything else about it really.

I believe I was thinking of Clubhouse but I haven’t checked into it much.

No, Jitsi is a chat program. I must have been confusing Rumble with some other thing. But as with youtube, the video collection is much more important than the software. Releasing all the youtube software wouldn’t change youtube’s dominance even slightly.
