I've realized that most users actually don't care about anything. No moral values in their tech choices, no interest in which company is behind their tech. No objections if Microsoft takes over their computer.
I don't have the time for that either. I'm working full time and that kind of project is better suited for a student with lots of free time. :)
It doesn't really matter what they use. As long as it's open source and decentralized, avoiding big tech running the servers, it's a huge win.
There is no peaceful existence with big tech when it comes to this. They will turn it into ads and tracking and that's not compatible with the moral values of the open source community.
It's Microsoft culture vs Linux culture.
All instances using federation are publicly visible and it's simple to script attacking all of us.
However it's even easier to just attack Lemmy.world since almost everyone is there and it will have maximum disruption on everyone. People have centralized on one server. :)
But it's just some denial of service attacks right now. Eventually they probably get tired of it too. There is no point to it really.
Why do they want to save the site? The leadership deserves to see it die.
And we saw this was going to happen at least 5 years ago. But since the majority don't care, we get what we deserve I guess.
Let's just hope this doesn't go through.
I can build what I want, it's more about having ideas in think. Except math intensive things, I'm not interested in algorithms.
I agree with this. There is at least five apps right now that are great for people coming from reddit, so Lemmy has that covered.
Lols :)
There is a huge difference between mozilla and google. That's quite obvious to most. The ceo raising his salary is a problem for you, and you prefer Google, where they have enormous salaries and incomes? It's one of the richest companies in the world.
Firefox doesn't have inferior UX at all. It has more functions and features than chrome. It also has very good default privacy and the plugin system is amazing.
And it just became faster than chrome as well.
Oh :) Sorry, it's so hard to tell over text sometimes. I'm rewatching the entire series now actually. It's brilliant. Better then any comedy today imo.
It really is the best system for new people using Linux. Everything is so smooth and nice. Looking forward to the new cosmos desktop that is coming. :)
