I thought we all agreed that “immutable” is a confusing term and that we should call it “atomic”

If you watch the video it becomes even morr apparent it was intentional. Death may not have been intentional but keeping him in was.

I don’t recommend watching the video btw. Still haunts me

bcrypt… with how many iterations? seems like an important detail

gulag for everybody who thinks this is news. The guy is literally a fascist and we are supposed to be angry about how his humanoid robots look kinda human? who tf cares

Good for Nix! Horrible article though lmao

The ad revenue part is true but what do you mean by not harvesting data? Mastodon definitely stores your boosts and likes, it just doesn’t use that data to recommend more content. And the big difference is of course that it is stored on your instance’s server, not a centralized location.

That’s fair! Although I fear big money will always come up with some way to make a “better” UX, either simply because they can afford more/better devs, and often by compromising privacy, accessibility, etc.

It’s centralized. They allow federation using their own protocol.

But all you need to know is that it’s a capitalist, for-profit undertaking.

it’s quite different in the sense that you don’t see any recommended content, just your follows and their boosts.

That mindset is the problem. A slightly better UX at the cost of freedom is a bad deal.

I don’t think he had them all to begin with, but he lost the rest of his marbles. To be honest I think if he was a critical thinker and a bit more open-minded, he would have become an anarchist. But sadly he’s a Christian conservative.

Also as I’ve learned more about linux, I realize he’s wrong about most things there too 😂

good thing Musk is such a believer in freedumb of speech

It’s true I was there. I was the racism

Firefox + uBlock Origin already does it too. No ads, and I can listen even when my phone is locked.

if you want a paid version similar to pihole with a bit more control and insights I recommend a smart DNS service like Control D.

It’s really the first couple minutes that are critical
