Thanks for the video link. Very interesting. This is how all computers will be built eventually. So seize the means of computation until we can…

Google will just say that pages with DRM will rank higher in their search and it’s all done.
As the old Gentoo mantra goes: stuff breaks so you can learn things :D
If you put all the effort and learning needed to keep Windows from fucking you over, into learning Linux you would not only be an expert user buy now, but also potentially could build a good career around that knowledge as it is actually useful.
I think that all this ad driven businesses did in the last decade was to undermine trust in technology in general. Nothing can function without trust…

Good reason to demand free software Wi-Fi firmware.
I just learned how Google makes all their money.
Mozilla is, always was and will be mostly financed by Google.
MacOS used to be a good option for developers targeting Linux: UNIX under the good and nice UI on top. You can install most Linux program with brew and the like under MacOS.
So I move from Linux to MacOS when first MacBook Air was released but since them moved back to Linux. MacOS today feels way more like Windows (poor quality, pushing users around, outdated desktop paradigms wise)… I can’t stand it any more. In the mean time Linux got Wayland and Sway and other different desktops available. Distros like Void Linux make the experience very stable, comfortable and hackable.
Looks like reporters are forced to use capitalistic term on anything they write about: “Silicon Valley venture capital firms”, “fast-growing social media platform”, “US-based investors”, “rival sites”, “sole shareholder”. Like their are paid for each use :D
Also ‘so-called “federated” system’ LOL
I can’t read this…
Twitter has blocked its users from sharing some links to its social media rival Mastodon.
Mastodon is a software and a network, it cannot be a “rival”… it is like saying the Internet is a rival to T-Mobile.
Mastodon is divided into groups, called servers, based on many topics including the UK, snooker, and security.
Nope, it is called instances. Servers are computers running services on a network.
Twitter has blocked links to some of the largest servers which users would join, including the most popular “social” channel.
There are no "channel"s on the network, just instances.
Mastodon said it gained hundreds of thousands of users in November, with some Twitter users seeking alternative platforms.
Again, a person can say something, company representative can, but a network does not say anything.
OMG. Such a culture shock for some :)
These networks have a disagreement over peering policy. In this case Cogent expects Google and Hurricane Electric to pay Cogent money for their IPv6 routes. Google and Hurricane Electric have stated they are happy to peer for free with Cogent, but refuse to pay Cogent money.
Cogent is keeping their customers hostage denying them IPv6 routing… no comments.
The only winning move is not to play.
That is made in China.
I hope Musk buys Google next :)
There is something sinister about his vision. I think it is fine for server OS to all be identical (docker is that already) - probably what you want, although less flexible. But for personal computing… that makes it very impersonal, to force bit-to-bit conformance on people.
I see many of articles and blog posts were people use commercial metaphors when describing free software. These simply do not apply to free software and use of them will just confuse everybody and make them to render incorrect conclusions. Free software is sufficiently different from anything that capitalism produces and requires use of its own metaphors to be understood correctly.
