>If the opensource/free software community proved anything right, it's the fact that people don't support the developers of the software they are using in 90+% of the cases.

Which is why the best thing to do is to adopt the Ardour business model and sell the binaries and profit off of those who don't know how to compile from source or to get the software elsewhere.

I’m proud to be an American, where at least I have AC
And I’ll never forget the HVAC guy who installed it there for me…

@bonkmaykr @nanook There probably isn't a single GNU+Linux distro that is safe from RedHat's influence. The closest one I know of that is remotely safe is probably OpenMandriva because they strive to be as independent as possible (they don't even include GCC).

If you run a Git server accessible from a web interface, you need to block Facebook's crawlers. Eversince I started mirroring the XLibre repos my server has been getting DDoSed fucking constantly by Facebook. We lost Checkpoint when we migrated this year so it got really bad. I finally had enough of it.

meta-externalagent is the worst offender. Thankfully, it listens to robots.txt unlike some other aggressive bots I've had the displeasure of dealing with.

I love how he's so boomer brained he doesn't take into account that people can buy games and then pirate them after to make sure they can preserve digital copies.

@bonkmaykr It really says something when fucking Valve, a company whose main product is proprietary, has more respect from the Linux community than Red Hat.

They should have never gone public.

i'm 100% convinced everything redhat does is intentional self sabatogue to make people go back to windows

@realcaseyrollins @lostgen @mullvadnet I respect anyone's right to boycott and product/service for political reasons, but these people who go out of their way to make sure not a single penny goes to any cause that is even remotely right-wing are trying way too hard. Eventually, they are going to realize that it's not really possible unless you go completely off-grid.

Another day, another instance of tech company/organization/individual supporting <political party/cause that is not far-left>, we need to cancel them.

Mullvad is a political company fighting for free speech, free information and privacy, with two equal co-founders, co-owners and co-CEOs who fundamentally disagree on many issues. Daniel's donation to a political party is private and not part of Mullvad's mission. We protect the right to express and access views we disagree with. We welcome anyone sharing these core values, whatever their other opinions. We are happy to refund others who don't, where we can.

@djsumdog @Svantovit @The_Vampire_Brigade @protos And they keep on pushing Ivermectin as a cure for cancer and even homosexuality. I'm sure it's a psyop to benefit some company.

Does anyone know of any multi-purpose microblogging clients? Like something that supports a wide array of microblogging services and APIs. It would be really nice to manage all of your accounts from multiple networks/services in one place and maybe be able to make a post and have it instantly appear on your Twitter, Mastodon, Nostr, BlueSky, Gab, Minds, etc at once.

@beardalaxy I think there is no "right" way to play the game the first time, as long as you are not cheating.

Ship of Harkinian adds so many enhancements and QoL features that there is simply no going back for me. It kind of reminds me of the XBLA port of Perfect Dark. It's literally the exact same game, just enhanced. Though you can still tell that it was originally an N64 game just by how stiff the high-poly models move around in a 90s physics engine, but I feel like it gives it a little charm, almost like a budget Xbox 360 game.

Prominent US war hawk John Bolton has pled guilty to violating the Espionage Act after previously demanding execution for whistleblowers Edward Snowden & Chelsea Manning and 176 years in prison for publisher Julian Assange.

As part of a plea agreement, Bolton admitted to unlawfully retaining sensitive national security information. He now faces up to 5 years in prison, up to 3 years of supervised release, a $2.25 million fine, forfeiture of his pension, and is due to be sentenced on 28 October.

In 1996, Nintendo was seemingly very fond of a single particular stock photo of the sky, so that it ended up on the cartridge artwork of three different games released in that year: Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, and Pilotwings 64.
