@aral smells a bit like "PRs are welcome." 🤨

Hot take: Hosting FOSS projects on Github is like having Fridays for Future meetups in Exxon Mobile Headquarters.They made it cozy and cheap for you there, I get it. But don't call me absolutist for the audacity of having values and raising concern. If you don't see values in FOSS and prefer to be "pragmatic" that's a you problem. Not me being toxic.#GithubIsMicrosoft #freesoftware #values #foss

@aral I refuse to believe they are not on ActivityPub. This must be a mistake.

@aral I don't get what they mean with "…financially viable and multi-polar Fediverse…" but I guess it means that then. 🤷♂️:troll: Maybe polar in the sense of: If there is ActivityPub projects with no money at all, we also have to embrace some with loads of it. Polarity and all. Just to even things out in the grand scheme.

@davidrevoy @blendernation I thought I spotted you but dismissed the idea because of the timeframe 😀 – Nice to know I was right!

@davidrevoy "😇 Could you please please please be a little bit more bigoted for me, yes? With extra sugar on top please? That would be grrrrrreat."WTF?! 😡I applaud you for your stance. Maybe you could give In and come up with some EXTRA content for that person 😉

@aral I guess the "never change a running system" mentality goes a longer way the further you are from technical understanding of what is actually going on. 🤷♂️

@davidrevoy Thank you! Putting the Firefox dilemma in pictures makes it less academic and more approachable issue. I hope many people realize how empowering it is to use free software that can be replaced easily.It is not always so easy:https://video.1146.nohost.me/w/ij3qHTrc55t9izuk6hP7HF

@organicmaps congrats! What was that block about – and how can we make Microsoft block more projects?

@jzb People living in the terminal may love it. Maybe that's great, as those are the people being catered to. To me it just says: "I do not want to be read. 90s websites were clearly peak readability. Any decent layout and design is nothing but glitter and eyecandy."I think the LWN approach is unnecessarily limiting its audience to a small subset.Assuming "modern" isn't user-friendly is like assuming vintage style necessarily looks like this:

🤨 No, you don't install #Linux on your "OLD" computer, you install it on your current one - as the "NEW" computer remains in the store and does not belong to you, as you were not forced to buy it, and you prefer to keep the money instead. …rubs me the wrong way every time I read this during #endof10 Also: please do install Linux on NEW computers, too. Don't bias yourself into thinking Windows is somehow snappier by giving it the faster hardware 😉

@aral Looks clean to me now. A fine new sewer it is! Shiny and all. It cost a lot, so I bet it is good. I'll use it – what could go wrong. 🤗

The irony 🫣 : #Firefox of all projects int he world should absolutely know better when it comes to browsers NOT adding bloat and becoming "a broader ecosystem of trusted software".

@aral What the fuck? Didn't she explicitly ask for his personal opinion just to blame him for having an opinion? She should not be allowed to talk to the press 😂
