  • It won't, it's just a grift.

  • Confusing Linux with Lenovo is pretty funny.

  • Don't make the mistake of confusing the Linux community (an absolute mess, just read the comments here) with the software itself (Actually cleaner and better organized than Windows).

  • I don't disagree, but discoverability is important. On the flipside there are so many times in FOSS world where I've actively looked for a tool for months, only to give up and then months later have someone randomly mention it in a thread where I discover it has existed for years.

  • Oh no I didn't realize it had ended! Maybe someone else will pick it back up.

  • Or Nativefier (which uses electron) but with a nice GUI.

  • This is really cool, it would be nice to have some quick options like start minimized or minimize to tray.

  • Is this using ActivityPub? I notice that the lead dev shares a username with a lemmy.world admin.

    EDIT: yes it is I missed that it is already federated with Lemmy instances

  • It seems like we agree on the facts, and I certainly won't disagree that it's worse now, but I would characterize Twitter's (pre-Musk) response to extremism as "measured, lacking and lethargic", before I would use "imperfect", which still implies "pretty good" and from my perceptive it was not good enough to make me want to use it. I think maybe we just have a different tolerance for hate speech.

  • They absolutely were, without question. That said, there's nothing this guy can do to make that happen on Mastodon instances he doesn't own.

  • You're correct. ActivityPub is an open protocol and Meta, or more importantly anyone else, can use it however they want.

  • How so?

  • lol fair. Whats good for me is more people educated on the benefits of open source!

  • I actually think users who click ads are probably the ones who most need to learn about the alternatives!

  • it’s always some people who used some ancient client in 2008 and never bothered to try again.

    The biggest hurdle for widespread adoption of open platforms, imo.

  • They are very noisy. Lots of clicking and whirring. Enterprise drives are not the same as consumer drives. As others have said this is a great price but I would not recommend using them in a room you are trying to focus in.

  • They generate a LOT of noise. Not a dealbreaker for most but something to be aware of for sure.

  • Yeah, it's easy to see, but I don't have to respect it.
