Then the Fediverse and FOSS have succeeded.

I’m sorry, I don’t think we’re going to end up agreeing on this. I don’t see that it’s been forced on anyone. Maybe users of that instance, or people who use the software. But the list is there.

I kinda don’t see why everyone has their knickers in a twist. This is exactly what the Fediverse is about - don’t like, don’t federate. And it’s one instance or one software.

They do, but they have guns, which makes sure they get paid.

Good. let’s let the bodyguards earn their keep, too.

Between 4 & 5

Private equity destroys the world.

Not Tommy tho. Tommy would kick their butts.

Don’t you dare connect Zordon of Eltar to that traitorous, evil piece of scum.

I have a weird situation. I was a Windows user from 3.x to 10. I genuinely like Win9x, XP, and a lot of 7. I switched to Linux as my main machine with Mint because Cinnamon works like Windows. The only hassle I have is external display issues (X11 displayport stuff) - so I’m not looking at Cachy or KDE Neon or anything like that. But my gaming PC is Win11. It all works. Getting back to Windows, while there’s some challenges, everything feels “right” again. 7-Zip, Notepad++, various games, it’s all natural. I have trouble running arbitrary software on Mint, but Windows just runs every exe I throw at it. It works with my trackball and external display painlessly.

Basically, they both work.

Also, I disagree with the article author about the email client in the OS. I think that’s bloatware and the results of Microsoft being monopolistic. Webmail works fine. If you want an email client locally, it’s your choice. Then again I’d love to see what he says is better than Outlook - because it isn’t Thunderbird.

Ah right, they’re “too big to fail”.

Yeah, it’s taking too long.

How can we make them run out in mid-2026?

Pizza dude’s got thirty seconds.

Oh. Despite being from NJ, I’m not a huge fan of the View Askewniverse. Basically just Mallrats and Dogma.

I need to rewatch The Men Who Stare at Goats.

Almost half? nowhere near enough. We gotta get to it being “all”.

I think it started around the passing of the Statute of Anne in 1710, but probably earlier too. Copywrong has always been a problem.

My old laptop works well on Windows 10. Mint does about 99% of that and other stuff I don’t do in Windows. The only thing that I miss is a multi monitor setup (and I’ve been told that CachyOS or KDE Neon would do it).

And, again, good morals. That matters to me in a company, honestly.
