urgh I am so tired of wearing a mask. but also my blood boils when I see others on public transit not wearing one. it's not that much of a cross to bear, really. especially considering the alternative. people are just fucking stupid sometimes.

@librebuddys God I am so tired of people making this stupid argument. Calling it GNU/Linux is total, utter nonsense. GNU is as much a part of the average Linux distro these days as is Wayland/X, KDE, systemd and other important pieces. You don't see them arguing to be in the name. Anyone calling it GNU/Linux is completely missing the point and is insulting the hard work that actually happens inside Linux. Stallman is such an arrogant asshat, and his philosophy is unworkable, as is his approach.

@librebuddys Stallman is just annoyed that Hurd sucks (because it's a microkernel) and is throwing his toys out of the pram because someone got there first. Sure, Torvalds used gcc and binutils to compile the kernel. But if you have to name your projects after the development tools you use, then I think most software developers are in for a shock when people start calling it GNU/Mastodon or GNU/Firefox.

@kzimmermann good luck indeed. it's impossible. they can't control every single server in the world. crypto is math -- someone will just invent a new protocol. software will be open-source, so anyone can implement it (like tox or xmpp)... it's an empty threat and they know it. They just want these companies like WhatsApp and Signal to allow backdoors, and they're using this as leverage.

I *understand* why pamac defaults to [y/N] when installing packages, but it's still annoying because I hit enter out of habit from using apt and pacman and then I have to run the command again.

@UptownGirl There are laws outside of the constitution. There are also things called morals and ethics. Women, and all human beings, have the right to bodily autonomy, period.

I agree with @iiogama -- for us SDF users that have been here for years, it's a bit disheartening to have an absolutely massive influx of users arrive and expect it to be a Twitter clone. It's not. SDF's instance is paid for by SDF members, and probably out of pocket to a degree by the admins. There are no ads, no scraping and selling your data, and you have full control over your data and which instance you're on. Be patient. This instance has been around for a long time already.

If things seem slow, just click once on Follow or Publish or whatever, and wait. The server is running, and will serve your request. If you want to help offset the inevitable costs of this huge influx of users, donate to SDF by going to https://sdf.org/?join#donate ... you can even get a free shell account if you're into *nix! Plus you're supporting all sorts of other cool SDF stuff like AnonRadio. @smj is doing an amazing job of running this place. You can help shape it!

@SDF the instance is running SO smoothly now! Amazing work getting it running so well in such a short span. I encourage others to #donate to help run the place! No ads, no selling of user data, just a place to hang out!
