Barricades erected outside the County courthouse now. Looks like preparation for some big news… https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1684615310320574481/pu/vid/720x1280/B4Yr8RY9a48Jgzsp.mp4?tag=12

@GottaLaff I approve of direct linking to twitter videos, using their bandwidth without providing any ad impressions.

@donni What's really shocking to me is how old people my age are.

Honestly, a true evil couldn't have dealt a bigger blow to traffic and advertising revenue than blocking all links to . Bravo.

SUSE has an impressive legacy deeply rooted in the world of . As we witness restricting public access to the source code of , a disheartening move for our thriving open-source community, it's uplifting to see standing firm in its dedication to the vibrant ecosystem. https://www.suse.com/c/navigating-changes-in-the-open-source-landscape/

@opensuse Man, I hate zypper. But I just transitioned a company to Uyuni for Centos/Alma/Rocky patch management. Loading up the SuSe repos would barely be an inconvnience.

@vwbusguy Red Hat, Twitter, Reddit. I never imagined an insane, destructive cash grab as the reason these institutions would disappear.

@North This gives me flashbacks to my cool older cousin and his wife's "jam room" back in the late 70's.

1/ I'm seeing a lot of talk (still!) of defederating mastodon.social over the recent spam attacks. I have a feeling I'm going to regret this, but as someone on that instance with no current plans to move, I feel like there are some things those who are considering it may not be taking into account. There are loads of patronizing comments that people on this instance are "doing the Fediverse wrong". No, we're not. You can't have a democracy while telling others they can't choose where to be.

sboger,
@sboger@mastodon.social avatar

@AbandonedAmerica It's simple. They are wrong. They are the extremists. With a federated system you get the freedom of an open environment without succumbing to a mega-billionaires whims. At the cost of needing to perform a little self-moderating. These people screaming about defederating the largest mastodon instance are only accomplishing one goal - the destruction of mastodon and the creation of micro echo chambers divorced from reality.

sboger,
@sboger@mastodon.social avatar

@paninid @AbandonedAmerica Hey Sampath, I appreciate your calm discussion. Here's the thing. If we succumb to these outlier groups that are easily offended at anything they personally don't like, and follow through with massive defederations, all we will be left with is mini-fiefdoms of "popular", "hot", "celebrity" moderators that strictly control all content to be consumed. And we are back to Twitter. Eugen, a kid with some free software, is doing his best to provide a fair global forum.

sboger,
@sboger@mastodon.social avatar

@paninid @AbandonedAmerica It's hard for me to comment on the spam, as I've never seen one spam dm or comment since getting here. But why are people blaming Eugen and not the crypto scammers? He's not promoting them or highlighting them. Does one personally blame gmail for a spam email you get?

@patrickcmiller Funded and pushed by Trump election deniers as a way for dubious third-party groups to get access to voting machines. With the goal of banning all machines and returning to paper ballots, hand counted.
