mfers just open their zipper and start pissing, being dumbfounded at how this results in them pissing their pants

i love that bluesky just keeps getting away with it like this
“oh well they said people can run their own instances, so that must be true!”
nope, you just can’t run a bluesky instance, can we please recognize this fact and stop giving the massive corporation the benefit of the doubt?

so don’t run the full model, condensed models are still fine

or are we really going to act like children who want their new shiny toy and won’t accept anything less?

i want to go back to when “Linux drama” was torvalds calling someone a tosspot for submitting bad code

you can also, like, run it locally which will send precisely jackshit to anyone else

android with lineage on it, and configure things to limit what they can do with it.

you can get pretty close to the best of both worlds, letting them have navigation tools and whatnot while also simply not having the google play store available on the phone at all, and exposing them to a very minimal amount of data harvesting from the tech companies.

it’s not snake oil, but it’s like buying horribly expensive infused oils

just fucking put a sprig of rosemary in a bottle of oil, it’s not that difficult to do it yourself and it will be hilariously cheaper

can you define “left-leaning bias”? because many people say that and actually mean “doesn’t arbitrarily go ‘both sides!’ every time an issue is brought up”

it’s not “left-leaning bias” to recognize the state of the world and the solutions to it, that’s just being sane and not-evil.

the vast majority of my feed is really good and i have a bigass pile of subscriptions to channels i want to watch basically every video from because they’re really good

learn to tell the algorithm to fuck off and serve you better things, don’t just blithely slurp up whatever it feeds you.

hopefully a case of “if i don’t include this keyword i will miss out on tons of shit from stupid people who want into the trend”

i don’t have any stake in this, i’m a fucking xfce user lmao, but man “hyprland” is not a very great name since it immediately makes me think it’s a crypto bullshit project…

the problem with ubuntu is canonical, it’s a shame it’s got the reputation as “the third OS” when it’s basically the only distro that’s trying to replicate the walled gardens of microsoft and apple.

like with many jobs you’re learning to only do the work that matters, and oftentimes when you can avoid doing work that actually improves the product.

There’s a reason why construction workers aren’t making their own planks and nails, that would be horribly time consuming, inefficient, and they’d probably make shitty planks.
