Self-hoster/FOSS Pronouns: He/Him
And what’s your proposed solution? They not make any money on their cool FOSS project and die while taking money from google and fade away slowly like Firefox?
Also there’s a lot of catch up with messaging apps thats happening to attain feature parity with the likes of slack, discord or twist. So it is bound to happen. Have you seen any of the cool projects built on top of the protocol?
Its gaining traction … The network effect is an issue but there are a lot of Foss projects and communities on matrix even for less known ones (And they aren’t bridged).
We need a self hosted messaging service, XMPP is good but there’s room for other ideas to achieve something similar. Matrix and XMPP try to achieve similar goals differently. Wouldn’t hurt to have more protocols in this space.
This is proof the US needs to start a program to get kids strapped and more police officers around every school. In fact the police should design the schools, kids should check in and out of every room and there should maybe be little full door length bars to prevent kids from going in and out unauthorized.

(fuck fox news propaganda)
Partly cause people expect an exact Twitter which mastodon doesn’t really aim to be. Some people will enjoy the organic growth of connections others won’t. Plus lack of feature parity with twitter and the complications of a federated timeline and a local timeline. People in general dont have the patience to try and learn something new.
Not everyone has the savvy to git clone;make;make install either. If we want linux to be more common place we need something straightforward like flatpak or appimages. Most people just want apps to start reasonably fast to get work done and storage is cheap (or at least was getting cheaper) so they aren’t gonna care. It would also be easier in the phone space thats happening. Compiling on a pinephone sounds like a chore cause its not that powerful and how much battery would I use to do that? Its better to have a native package but better than nothing. For a power user it doesn’t matter, its not necessarily for us (even tho we could use it)
Tbh I have heard of people starting companies in the form of cooperatives where everyone including the CEO makes the same wages and all employees are involved in making future decisions of the company what what happens with the profits. So I do hope this style works out and I accounted for them in the remaining 1 in 5.
Sure, but she doesn’t recognize the labor done by other people cause she thinks work = money, which isn’t the case. She is just another out of touch rich fuck that can go to hell with her opinions on people being poor and lazy. Hell I can also be a billionaire after being getting my parents to gimme that money.
Imperialism bad, but pointing out the general hypocrisy in western media is worse right? The fact that this is a legit issue shows that the west is losing it’s moral high ground and is no longer being seen as the good guys, cause they ain’t. (There are no good guys just people looking out for their own interests)
I have an issue with the ethical open source license, this is irrespective of my stance on free software, which is being ethical is ambiguous, it depends on the reader or interpreter as to what ethical is.
For example I would consider being anti racist ethical but someone else could interpret being anti racist as racist ( or however they victimize themselves )
That ambiguity, that my stupid ass could come up with off the cuff, is why its a bad license to use.
But at least the British brought capitalism to India /s
For real tho, someone actually said that to me.
