I don’t get why people keep trying to boost Newsom. He has no chance. There are plenty of democrats who could do a better job in an election than him.

Linuxwave - https://github.com/orhun/linuxwave - You can generate music from your OS.

Well they also effectively control development of gnome. Not the exact same way Ubuntu did unity but still comparable.

It’s because Ubuntu is a company-backed distro consistently wants to go their own way. Not just snap but they’ve done it before with Unity and Mir (and probably others idk).

Course Fedora does literally the same thing and doesn’t get any hate for it so idk. It’s just a meme.

Personally I don’t like Ubuntu because they didnt go far enough into their own ways but thats just me.

You’ll be fine. Just dont visit shady websites and do fall victim to phishing. The other comments in the thread are good advice too.

Also give this a read since you’re using Python. It could happen to you: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/08/10-malicious-python-packages-exposed-in-latest-repository-attack/

Theres a reason nobody uses it anymore. Google extended the crap out of it, effectively took over the protocol and then retired it. It bears the same echoes of what’s happening here.

I’d be closer to agreeing with you if XMPP didn’t completely invalidate your point. They did it there and they’ll do it here.

Is threads still even active? The few users I knew on it don’t use it anymore.

That gopher is literally the reason I have been considering learning go. Same with plan 9.

Huh, didn’t know Krita had a mobile port.

Also would never recomend Simple Gallery. Not cause of the recent purchase but because its poorly programmed. Stupid thing botched the images on my phone.

Except there isn’t anyone like that. Oh wait, there is. 3rd party. But then we’ll just be going in a circle again.

Well its probably dead anyways. Dorsey already left it and moved to Noster.

Oh. Well even if it was electron damn thing is so bloated it should be able to render the page

Doesn’t even make sence because the app is just chromium. Theres no way it cant render the manage page.

Was bluesky ever intended to have activitypub support?

I can’t continue with this line of reasoning. You are the one whos equating voting third party with not voting and apathy. Nothing will change in the States. Never ever.

Yeah, I mean, even with what the dems/media did against him he did still lose. And he did do stupid stuff on the campaign, irelevant of whoever funded him. He had avenues to continue on and cause damage, such as accepting the green party nomination with Jill Stein (yes I know about the ‘possible’ russian connection there) but alas he just backed down.

I guess I’ll look into the russian disinfo with Bernie then. Far as I was previously aware there was just some screwy things with the Bernie bros but that was it. Don’t know much about his 2020 campaign but I didn’t really take that seriously anyways.

So what? The Russians support anything to sow discord. Just like Democrats supporting extremist Republican candidates to cause mayhem. It’s literally just a facet of American politics and vice versa (American government supporting radical candidates elsewhere). Bernie’s campaign was one of the most progressive the democrats had seen in forever. Even far more progressive than anyone in the squad.

Course these days the guy’s a joke but I don’t feel like going into his ‘fall from grace’.

Sure. Keep up the defeatism. It’s what those in power want. This is probably the only American thing I will never understand.

They allowed for the inclusion of DRM into HTML5. This DRM is not open-source, can’t even be source audited and refused to back down. Such a move caused the EFF (electronic frontier foundation) to resign from the group. Here’s the EFF’s letter where they outline these issues if you want to give it a read: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/09/open-letter-w3c-director-ceo-team-and-membership

I could also write about them bowing to Google but the DRM thing annoys me more.

And then Tim Berners-Lee has the audacity to complain about the state of the internet. Something his group could’ve actually stopped or slowed.
