Spot on, though I must admit you’ve expressed it more eloquently than the way thoughts form in my head.

Oof, I wish there was a nice unified way or a common pipeline to install fediverse services.

I began looking into mastodon (a Perl-based app), but realised that Gotosocial (a Go based application) was better suited to my needs as I could run that off a Raspberry Pi 2 zero. I can use it exactly like Mastodon, meet and interact with folks on Mastodon, but just through another service. For all practical purposes, I find no difference in the experience between the two (I have a mastodon account on the general server as well).

As another commenter said, each service comes with its own technology and innovation (some strive to be minimal, while others try to be feature rich). You have to pick and choose per your needs.

To host all three, you might need a decent server with 16 /32 GB RAM and 2TB drives; particularly if you’re going to host a lot of high quality videos.

For mastodon, check out Masto.host as it makes the setup a whole lot easier.

Jokes aside, that episode was fire AF.

I knew nothing of this. Now I have hours of Wiki articles and online stuff to read about Lakota. Thank you

Is no one going to address the fact that a star ship was named “Crazy Horse”.

These game dev studios wouldn’t be where they are if people really cared about all this. Every year people complain about these shady practices by these companies, and the same people will then go and buy these games.

Just like “Movember” where men donate to charity and don’t shave for a month, we need to do something similar like not buying new games for a financial quarter and donate to open source game development.

Bold of you to assume those spineless scum would care about the wellbeing of children.

What issue do you face specifically? Because my Zotero and LibreOffice run very smoothly together on my Linux Mint machine.

But if you want to poke around and look for alternative software, check this wiki page:

Please, I don’t mean to be thick, but can someone ELI10 ? I honestly read the article and the comments, but I don’t think I fully appreciate or understand the problem beyond the surface level (incompatible licenses). I mean, like so what? Who is screwing whom here? How are the going to circumvent this? And what tree are they referring to?

Thanks for the offer. I had forwarded the retraction watch article to my colleagues and we had a chat about this incident. I don’t think we’ll be sending our work to MPDI, ever!

It just breaks my heart to see so many people from eastern Europe and Asian countries exploited for their labour.

Does Ubuntu “dismiss” Debian? Or Manjaro “disregard” Arch?

An EU-backed and funded distro released under the GNU license would mean that the government can now fund developers and maintainers to have a distribution that will comply with privacy and security requirements.
