  I totally understand the desire to own physical media and agree that WB is doing the right thing here, but optical media is terrible means of preserving media. If your discs are suffering from disc rot, you really shouldn’t lose sleep over making or “sourcing” your own local digital copies.

  In the same boat. It’s been very freeing

  Yeah man the radical left’s crazy violent agenda like… Free healthcare, and decent standards of living? No wait I mean the erosion of systems of inequality fuck wait no I mean uh labor rights and empowree workers wait shit no

  I’m starting to think the radical let’s crazy agenda is actually far less violent than the status quo

  It’s already pretty shitty to be fair

  I’ve gone all-in on (properly) federated social media and I’ve got to say it’s been a great experience. After what’s happened to Twitter, with Zuck’s recently stated plans for Meta, and TikTok’s immediate Trump cocksucking, I realized that all privately-owned platforms are as good as compromised, no matter the utility they otherwise provide.

  Instagram was more difficult as it was how I found out about a lot of local events, and was my primary connection to a lot of old friends, but it was worth it. I actually reach out and talk to those friends who I previously just followed. It’s restored some actually connection that social media had stripped away, and I find myself avoiding the endless scroll I used to get caught in.

  I’m still working on evacuating YouTube, but using RSS feeds to be more deliberate about whose uploads I’m notified about has helped a ton.

  I use fedilab, in part because it’s the best app for peertube that I’ve found. But it’s got great support for Mastodon and Pixelfed as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Terms for Firefox from Mozilla⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why the hell does my HTML renderer need a baked-in frontend for a privacy nightmare that requires I sign over rights for every keystroke even if I don’t use it? If Mozilla really wants to roll it out themselves, make it an extension available for download and tie your abysmal terms of use to that, don’t upend your entire reputation for the latest big tech trend.

  And the sentiment against AI on lemmy absolutely sucks dick. I’m tempted to go back to Reddit because this place is luddite.ml at this point. People who’ve never spun up a local model on their GPU talk like they have trifecta PhD creds in comp sci

  Oh poor you, how dare people appropriately respond to foil-plated shit being advertised to us as platinum decor. Stay away from glue on days you use your computer

  In theory that’s fair reasoning. Unfortunately the dev made it clear that his reasoning was based on politics

  You’re right, words are meaningless and language has no bearing on society at large. after all, fuiebt eidiowb rhe efifo quifopim.

  A number of them have written about their reasons- I can’t speak for the maintainer this article is about but the general sentiment I’ve seen from the ones I’ve been hearing about is that the culture around kernel development is dogwater. Lots of it surrounding refusal to make any space for R4L and shitting on devs working on it, but then also spinning out of that are maintainers likening their quality control responsibilities to being “the thin blue line”.

  Man too bad all I’ve got to eat is this cyanide. Those cookies over there? Don’t you know how unhealthy those are?

  That’s just when they let the mask slip. It’s not like they were saints up til that point.
