Understood and agreed.

Nobody is making any of us use The Software^(tm)^, my question concerns your decision. Trust is an entirely separate concept and varies greatly depending on the audience.

BTW, It's not just Reddit. ;)

I came here for the same reasons as most of you and chiefly among them was to escape the corporate embrace of common social media platforms.

But how much trust can we place into Lemmy, Mastodon, and/or other various integrated Fediverse platform instances?

I'm all for open-source and transparency which the devs seem to provide, although providing source code and routinely audited source code are entirely different concepts.

Similarly, the high availability of source code may lead to malicious instances, actors, and/or back-end modifications that would favor specific instances resounding consequence throughout the Fediverse.

So I ask simply: How much faith do you have? (Please provide supporting documentation links supporting your answer because I'm genuinely interested.)

EDIT: I literally removed a semi-colon character ':'

You could hire a resume writer if you're on LinkedIn.

Don't worry, just create an account. They'll find you with offers and guarantees to manipulate ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) on your behalf.

They're doing SEO wrong, SPD said.

In my clients defense, "Gotta catch 'em all" is a legal requirement, not an option.

This tracks perfectly with his generation. They're always around to claim credit in the event of Success, but when there's Failure it's always "Who is responsible?"

Don't forget the OPM hack in 2014, also assuming you're in the USA and received a military/government background check.

Someday you could be part of a daily talk show panel and parrot whatever confirmation bias your audience "needs."

I asked because you may want to look at adjusting the default ARC settings.

The justification for ARC is that to a server system spare memory is wasted memory, although if you're like me you won't like seeing "low memory" messages when all you have open is a terminal.

Congrats on the switch. The desktop has a nice vibe to it.

Curiously, did you go with UFS or ZFS for your installation?

TBH, I'm not sure if either of us (The Texas Observer and myself) know what we're talking about. IIRC, Texas classifies felony charges as 1st, 2nd, or 3rd degree offenses and Misdemeanors as Class A, B, or C by their severity.

The fact that they would consider it a "Felony", or anything other than frivolous, is disheartening though I appreciate your efforts to research and correct any potential misinformation that I may have spouted. (Good catch, btw)

SMDH, Texas 🤷

TBH, Google itself is kinda "icky" and has been for awhile.

IANAL, but Texas Article 45.0218 would likely offer some protection to the kiddo since it's a Class C Misdemeanor. The short of it is that being held or detained doesn't mean that the individual was "prescribed jail time."

However, since the Texas Observer is shamelessly plugging away and, as a result, search engines may recognize the child's name, then the article (and similar "news" reports) will likely have more disastrous impacts than the actual event since the print industry is declining/desperate and the internet never forgets.
