If you make that argument about the state of software in general, I’d agree to an extent in the sense that it should be more prioritized. But I don’t see how that applies to open source in particular?

In those aspects proprietary software is just as bad, if not even worse. The difference is simply that the default choice of software for most tasks is a proprietary software. They can have a shit ton of unusable and confusing mess, even intentional dark patterns, but users will adapt.


I didn’t find a word that on its own echos this exact situation. However if you leave out the details, you won’t need a lot of words either, e.g.:

Oh yeah, awkward coincidence the other day — I ran into Sebastian McGillicuddy wearing the same T-shirt as last time lol. Hate when that happens.

But it’s certainly a more interesting and vivid story with the details you gave us. Much like Michael McGillicuddy’s infamous ‘Genesis of McGillicutty’ promo :)


The link is missing again in the parentheses in this comment, too. Do any of the two below work on your client?

Ah nevermind, just saw your comment on your other post xD


I remove my upvotes. I never understood the auto-upvote feature in the first place.


Subscription-based services are in general worth the money, if 1) you can cancel the subscription any time 2) you use it, because you actually want it 3) you know exactly what you get out of it

E.g. it doesn’t matter shit how much content on Netflix is terrible, if I use it for one month precisely for that one new show, a new season or a few movies I’m interested - just about anything that makes up an actual reason to starting the subscription.






Nah, I don’t like to jab at the USA by normalizing the shit load of money flowing into their politics, especially into some stupid election campaigns.


I want to avoid time-consuming games like Dota 2 or Crusader Kings 3…

Did people at !Aii@programming.dev express that they aren’t interested in reading these articles, too? Because an AI-related community on a programming-related instance semantically conveys the same environment as a community dedicated to AI coding specifically in my opinion.


If this had been enforced consistently, it’s a different story. But at least at my school I was allowed to cite random blog articles, outdated news and anything else I found, as long as it wasn’t Wikipedia.


Some reasons for “I have nothing to hide” that I see and that need different reasoning are:

Naivety: Some people simply have no idea how much data and what kind of sensitive data is collected. How do you convince them? Well, it seems like even a lot of “privacy-aware” people seem to act purely on suspicion and never requested a data collection report from a service or at least looked up other people’s results on the internet. They claim that it doesn’t matter, because you don’t know how much they are actually collecting. But you will definitely convince more people, if they see on paper what data is definitely collected “officially”.

Acceptance, but naivety about life changes: Some people are aware, but they accept it and may even want it, because they enjoy the benefit of personalized content. They don’t think their data would ever be used for anything else and they claim to be “not interesting” enough to be looked up. Where is the problem? Well, if they accept it, that’s fine, but you should remind them that life and our world can change in unexpected ways. Not everyone who is prosecuted now, knew beforehand they would be and if it comes to that and you were not at least aware of your internet identity, you are carrying a big vulnerability with you.

Full acceptance: Some people don’t even care about that. They’ll just let the future happen. What can you say about that? Well, you can raise the point that their decision on their privacy does also also affect the people around them. But, honestly in my opinion it’s not their responsibility to handle that problem. At that point, the question is who that person is to you and whether or not you are responsible for them.


I see where you are coming from and I agree that the big advantage of the metric system is not specifically conversion or anything in particular, but in general that everything fits together due to the coherent units and ratio.

How often do y’all convert your measurements? It’s not even a daily thing.

It’s not literally an active daily task, but the effortless conversion benefits your mental image of measurements in general and you don’t even have to think about the conversion in the first place. I do not think you are unique in this though. When you live in a place that uses the imperial system (sorry for assuming. Correct me, if I’m wrong), your personal benefit of using the metric system is limited in your daily life.


This is one part of the post.

EDIT: This is the other part of the post that I actually want you to interact with, but I’m adding it later to make it look like a casual reply to the comments.


Yes, vice versa even to a young bird like me 2018 was just yesterday and the acquisition by Microsoft feels even more recent.

They’re welcome, but the platform in the fediverse that covers the Tiktok-kind of content specifically is Loops.
