I'm just another nerd.

I'm a computer enthusiast. I love retro gaming, retro hardware and specially old thinkpads. I also love using/creating & contributing to FOSS. I'm a Linux fanboy aswell. Also a proud user of Fedora Kinoite.

I'm not particularly interested in anything that Meta/Facebook has ever created. Everything that this company has made or touched has been horrible/dangerous/terrible for everyone and I don't think that this isn't the case. Also that article that you linked is behind a paywall ._.

This will be an extremely hot take for some: Almost all recent online games are complete garbage that solely exist to make profit and create addicted user bases and they hurt what videogames truly are, a revolutionary and interactive form of art.

Here's another post for more info

Meta is creating a platform similar to Mastodon and Twitter, using Activity Pub. They also plan to integrate this platform with Instagram. This is what Project92 is about. That's why they're contacting Mastodon/Pixelfed andmins and developers.

I think that it would be a wiser decision to block the Meta platform anyway, because it will have a lot of traffic and it will overload other smaller instances (If I'm not mistaken). I agree with you that this is harmless for the time being, but an NDA is still a bad sign. I like Fosstodon, so I won't move to any other instance for now.

I didn't knew that TruthSocial had anything to do with ActivityPub. Thanks for pointing that out. Let's just hope that they will defederate themselves...

Some people that weren't contacted by Meta are singing this pact to block Meta's Project92 as soon it comes up in the Fediverse. We know little about the ones that were contacted.

Man that prayer was fkng funny xD, specially mentioning Torvalds and Stallman is a gigachad move

That's also a possibility, maybe they don't want anything about Project92 to be disclosed at the moment. I'm still worried.

I use vifm because of bulk rename, it literally opens a vim buffer with each file name as a separate line. Just think about the possibilities… (I know this is possible somewhere else, but I haven’t found anything similar)

Tutanota is good in any other language other than Spanish (and maybe Portuguese), my native language is Spanish and when I have to tell someone my email address, it sounds weird

Meta open sourcing their AI is great and hypocritical at the same time. Like yes we agree that AI shouldn't be controlled by a couple of powerful American companies, but we still need to have full control over the algorithm that literally manipulates users internationally on a daily basis.

The government won't regulate big tech if that doesn't give them any benefit. Governments want to control big tech to gain more power.

Yup, it seems like it did

And looks likr the meeting has already happened.

Please we need that Retro community!

Lemmites is the best one

I love the new icons, now they fit perfectly with the instance. I think that we also need a new logo, maybe a more minimalistic one (while still having the cowboy bee).

That's awesome dude, that's another benefit of FOSS, we can learn and enyoy technology way more. Also thank you for reading!

Yeah I later on saw the post. dansup is an awesome guy, I'm also at pixelfed.social.

Rnote is pretty good for handwritten notes, the canvas can be paged too.

0.A.D., Veloren and Xonotic are my favorites. Also Sonic Robo Blast 2 is freaking awesome

I’ve been living with chronic asthma my whole life, I was born premature, 7 months specifically (also 10 days in a incubator), and ever since my lungs are terrible. When I was a young child my parents had to take me to the emergency room constantly because of asthma attacks and often I had to stay at the hospital under constant supervision. What I know is how it feels to not be able to breathe, but I can’t imagine how my parents felt. I hope your son is better now.

That's a good idea, but I think having a single great logo is better for our identity

This is both informative and unfortunate.

Yup, there's literally war between mastodon.art and mstdn.social rn because of this
