See, here’s the big open secret. All these politicians, who make all these rules? They don’t have a clue what they’re talking about. They think a kernel is something that gets stuck in your teeth whrn you eat corn.

Simple solution. From now on Linux distros should ship with a big message “NOT FOR USE IN CALIFORNIA”.

You want to force age verification? No server in all of California will run. Period.

…you want us to get together and moan with each other? Buddy! I didn’t know this was that kind of app!

Kinda feels like at this point it’s not “if”. It’s “when”.

“Who is your daddy, and what does he do?”

What is converser.eu, and can I use it to deliver french fries to my mouth?

Oh yeah? What’s your favorite curse word, and what’s your favorite display of violent imagery.

Me personally I’m partial to the french killing the wealthy with a guillitine.

You posted this 2 hours ago. However I read this same post yesterday.

…you a bot?

Oh. Didn’t realize the contracts were just 6 months long. I thought they were more like 10 years or something.

Depends on how long the contract is, and who the administration is when that happens.

That may all be true and all, but other services aren’t one guy.

It would be like signing up for a fediverse instance, which uses closed source software, and it’s just one guy running the service for a small amount of people.

I don’t know who runs Lemmy.world, but at no point do I think the admins are targeting me, to read through my inbox. My judgement says that’s not what the admins are doing with their time.

But this myspace clone had 300ish registered members on a single centralized closed source platform being run and created by one guy with zero oversight. I can’t say that he created the service specifically to spy on people, but it certainly doesn’t pass the sniff test.

ain’t Facebook just Myspace but “better”?

furious

Get.

Out!

I thought that was facebook?

There is a myspace clone I saw about 2 years ago. I was new to the fediverse. I THOUGHT the myspace clone was part of the fediverse. It wasn’t.

I was going to join, but turns out this service was not open source. It’s not part of the fediverse. It’s essentially just some guy running the service, and can freely read anyones messages.

So I didn’t join. But if there were an open source federated version of myspace? Yes. I would join.

What??? I thought being part of Federation meant being part of the WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION!

OOOOH YEAH, SEE I’M ALWAYS THINKIN THINKIN THINKIN, YEAH. AND WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE, WE DO THING IN THE RING! DIG IT! THE TOWER OF POWER TOO SWEET TO BE SOUR, FUNKY LIKE A MONKEY! OOOOOOH YEEEAAAHHHH!!!

Pomp and circumstance plays over the house speakers

ELIZABETH!!!

Tacos become pizza toppings. Full size tacos, on top of your pizza.

If anyone ever asks “Do we need more tacos?” it becomes your responsibility to slap this individual. Because obviously yes. The answer is ALWAYS yes. Always more tacos. Always.

Well now this sounds interesting. And I assume it’s open source?

I asked Lars Ulrich to define good and bad. He said…

FIRE GOOD!!! NAPSTER BAD!!! OOOOH FIRE HOT!!! FIRE BAD!!! FIIIRRREEE BAAAAAAAD!!!

As someone who takes public transportation to work, SOME people SHOULD be forced to walk through the car wash.
