Over 18, but still young enough to not be predestined to become like the other billionaires I guess.

I used to run it for a while (it might actually still be running, I’d need to check my VPS and delete it if it is), but I feel like RSS readers kind of got overtaken by Reddit (and Lemmy). I tried going back to it again a few times, but the lack of comments felt off after having experienced Reddit.

Oh yeah, of course, but it feels like it’s never part of the conversation, even among people whose opinions I respect and are, for example, super critical of AI and talking about enshittification and other issues in the online sphere, they never seem to take the step to check out Linux, or get off Twitter or whatever.

Yeah, very disappointed by RMS’ creepiness (the Epstein stuff isn’t the only thing), but he was 100% right about software freedom.

I can see Microsoft moving to the same sort of thinking as well. Apple already made Mac OS users jump through hoops when you want to install something from the internet or even through a third party package manager like homebrew.

And the open source movement is such a blind spot to the ‘left’ as well, even though technology freedom is critical if you want to be able to organise any type of resistance in the digital space.

Lemmy users largely get it, obviously, but centre left people will happily let themselves get locked into the Apple/Google walled gardens even though you’re just giving that company a ridiculous amount of power over you.

Damn, even your slurs get maximum privacy.
