FYI its not actually open source. Its a cool idea but you can’t actually sell it or sell derivatives of it. Even at zero-sum. This hinders any actual forks from being successful, as any intention to sell the product (even without aiming for profits) is forbidden by their license. It just allows for tinkerers as contributors without properly allowing forks. Makes me a bit sad tbh, because its so close to being awesome.

“well yes you actually need to stay dependent on us to be competitive” -fucking ridiculous

The government should just pay some money to maintainers instead of giving it to corpos. That way everyone wins, instead of just google because the code is in the hand of the public. Also google, please just like, politely, fuck off. We know you guys want in on this, even if we need an out. Everyone knows your worries aren’t for public interest but for your own pockets. FOSS actually supports a much more competitive landscape by not locking in users and allowing people to build on each others ideas instead of creating monopolies.

You know we already have autonomous doors for houses. I feel like theres a lot more trust involved having a 2 ton vehicle move significant speeds on the road than having it close a door

Just make the motor not slam the door but close it slowly with not enough force to harm someone and put like two sensors + 1 backup in there

Why can’t they build a mechanism where the car can close its own doors. I thought that would be the smaller part compared to autonomous self driving

Yeah first you push us away, insult us, try to coerce us to give you greenland, tarrif us for non-sensical reasons, say our civilazations are being erased due to migration, say we don’t have freedom of speech. You also tell us to become independent militarily and start talking with Russia as if they were friends. Then you’re confused when we try to become independent. Big fucking cinema, who would’ve thought

May Russias war machine grind to a crashing halt. My hopes are slim but behind Russias cold and strong facade they’re trying to throw everything at grabbing more last-minute territories before a potential peace agreement. They need peace more than anyone as their economy isn’t sustainable. They just know pressure on Ukraine is high and the population also really wants war. Thats why they think they’ll get away with the land grab

Honestly I have my own political beliefs about the attrocities committed by Israel, but that’s not the issue here. I think it harms the fediverse in cases like this when the choice of their members gets restricted by universally banning these communities on your instance. This vote is also framed in a certain way and anything but democratic in that sense. Theres not a pro and con argument list or a neutral statement. The db0 admin just doesn’t like the way feddit mods moderate so he framed it in a way that legitimizes him banning these communities. But honestly this is not worth my god damn time. I only know if I was on db0 I’d move to another instance

I don’t know how to get a generic link to a post so it opens on your instance. But the proof they’re tying to use is laughable. Source: https://feddit.org/post/25634446

Taking of the socks after a long day of skiing

This… is fucking amazing

A medieval peasant on a celebration day. I doubt they could eat a whole as chicken every day

db0 wants to ban feddit communities because they believe that mods not letting death threats pass there in moderation passes as zionism.

Why are there so many people coming here allegedly from this chart starting with this year

E tier ist so boring bc it has nothing in it so it deserves F tier

You might have significantly reduced risk but don’t think you’re safe and get complacent just bc you’re on Linux

Beautifully said. Every time someone brings up the “nothing to hide” argument it always pisses me off, yet I’m often not able to put into words properly why I feel about it this way

Might be useful for self-hosting when you’re away from home and don’t want to open your ports up to public internet traffic. Also whistle blowing is kind of in public interest. And circumventing regional censorship. Depending on the country the latter two might not be fully legal but it’s best if it stays this way. Hiding yourself from prying eyes of ISPS google and so on is also fully legal and important as you can be geolocated often to a few hundred meters without it.
