  I saw it somewhere and it just sticks. I assumed that pronunciation as well

  To connect it to a dock station and have a full desktop experience. That is my use case

  What is the advantage of Bluesky’s model over Xitter? Are they just outsourcing servers while still holding censorship and manipulation power?

  Confession: I use indicator lights so much that I sometimes use them in very tight turns

  I am still trying to understand how this is a relevant technology post to the world

  I really hope you are right. I currently predict some issues with the scalability of the fediverse, maybe due to ignorance. If the majority of people switch their social media to the fediverse, the current volunteer hosted infrastructure will crash. Such infrastructure is not cheap to maintain and donations may dry out at some point. Specially for pixelfed, loops and peertube. The fediverse may run into trouble without easy self-hosting solutions

  I do not really work with excel beyond the basics. Why can’t free solutions like libre office and open office replace excel?

  I get that Musk is doing all types of tropes. But… what is the source for this newspaper I never heard about before? Is there any evidence for these pressures beyond “Trust me bro, we are the Latin times”?

  I also deleted my reddit account. What is happening in that sub?

  Me too. What now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically, how feasible is it to 100% boycott a massive corporation (such as Amazon) for an extended period of time?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That is a good idea. I’ll close my account as well.

  I believe it is more refined than that. People in sound mind do not like violence, they want a peaceful and stable life for their families and friends.

  If you show violence, you portray a threat. Over time people will be more lenient to surveillance and restriction of freedom in the name of law and order. Look at US people, tolerating torture and widespread vigilance since 11/9. All while still spewing “China bad” or “Putin bad”. Why? The ends justify the means.

  Let’s see if it was a mistake or if the violence is here to stay in Meta apps
