opinionated software is about how you think software should behave. its not about personal world views related to how a person thinks other people should be treated in the real world.

yes they should talk about it but that’s not what he’s reviewing. He’s focusing on the hype around the OS and if its even deserving of that. Why would a tech review bring in politics, it would come off as him just hating dhh and some would wave him off as a “hater”. I think the fact that he’s just talking about the software gives him credibility and shows that dhh is just a shit developer when it comes to operating systems. There’s already enough pieces about how he might be a shit human being but not enough about if he’s deserving of his merit just because he helped developed ruby on rails.

most of those “apps” also just open up a link in the browser…

the article is just about reviewing the OS (and if it can even call itself a linux distro). Its not about dhh himself, plenty of threads and posts about him out there already.

can you all just fucking chill oh my god

yeah which is sad really, the mainstream has unfortunately given up about it. The few of us who do are screaming into a void, it would take something apocalyptic. Thought the cambridge analytical thing and the election would make people see but money talks i guess.

Oracle will operate in partnership with the US government on everything from algorithm retraining to application development and source code review, the White House official said. It wasn’t immediately clear what role the government might have in oversight of the app, its algorithm and user data.

every article just glosses over the fact a major platform that people use to get/share information (with also a lot of personal data collected) is about to be controlled by the US government and a few of the president’s friends. No one is talking about how bad this will be its just "china bad’.

I only had an account to watch people livestreams concerts, protests, etc… Imagine the amount of suppression and propaganda if something like the L.A riots/free palestine movement happen again but the government controls what you see.

I personally dont think you need to switch to a dumb phone to get those benefits, smartphones themselves arent what’s causing issues its what you’re using. You want less distraction just stop using those apps or turn off push notifications.

relax its not that deep

well I am absolutely shocked that meta could be so careless about people’s private data, its inconceivable 😧😧 they would never do such a thing.

I have all notifications turned off except for calls and texts. I tried the bell thing on for every channel i subscribed to on youtube it was absolutely hell. Thats what made me turn it all off in the first place. Every minute there was something new. And since notifications were on i’d also get those unnecessary shit that apps thought I needed to know right this second. Ever since i turned all notifications off my life has been so calm. Especially getting rid of the bubbles on app was so liberating.

House. Anytime someone on team commits a crime or malpractice

you can turn it off (for now)

that is so cute tho lol

do not use this site its filled with weirdos not to mention we don’t need another echo chamber to radicalize more people

another echo chamber is not a good idea that’s the reason the US in this current state

I’ve never heard of the Halloween files I just looked it up and that’s just so crazy. I don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors in their c-suite but I wouldn’t be surprised if this fund is a way to get their hands into open source projects. Like you said there’s no explicit proof so it’s best to be cautious.

yes exactly, my problem is not the money. I don’t expect these project to always be free and I support those I can, sponsorship is good. These giant tech firms have used free projects all the time to make money without providing any support so its fine that they’re supporting them. My problem is that I do not trust Microsoft at all.

I like Firefox as a product but I don’t like Mozilla so I use libreWolf
