*Freedom of Expression

We don’t have Freedom of Speech, but we do have Freedom of Expression. Important difference, even though it may freak out some Americans.

LineageOS, maybe? Still Android, but (AFAIK) more open to change than standard Android.

So sad when it happens…

I don’t follow - do people still seriously use SMS? I for one try to use it as little as possible.

Don’t both Windows and MacOS call it folders, and Linux calls it directories?

One year left, before W10 support goes out the Window.

ThePrimeagen invited Matt to explain what’s going on.

TL;DW Matt’s claim is that he tried to get WP Engine to pay for a Trademark license (or whatever it’s called - I’m recalling from watching yesterday), over several months, and they tried to legally block him in every way. Their self-claimed contributions to Wordpress were (as he tells it) that they held conferences where they promoted their own stuff only - code contributions have been minimal.

So the combination of not willing to pay for the trademark + not contributing back (not in code, not in helping the community) is Matt’s reasoning for blocking them from using Wordpress’ resources.

He also mentioned that he has good relations with other Wordpress hosts, so it’s not like he’s trying to block anyone else from hosting, but they were all willing to pay for the use of the Trademark (and/or contribute back).

Well, she did tell that she didn’t get a budget, so they just effectively stole from other departments. Want a table that’s not bolted down? Take it.

But that’s Navy internals, (arguably) not a massive for-profit company that’s going it out of sheer greed.

currency = capitalism

u wot mate? If that was the case then we would always have had Capitalism, which we’ve obviously did not. You need a system that supports inserting capital into random companies to get to Capitalism, not (just) currency.

people jumped ship to Reddit because it was better.

People jumped ship because Digg turned into complete and utter garbage, and Reddit wasn’t completely awful. It was a weird site though, 100%.

Digg would’ve been fine had they not forced Digg v4 on users.

What’s a good voice-chat alternative then?

Wild that Reddit’s creation is closer to the start of the Eternal September than it is to today (19 years).

Good. Super-fast growth fucks with local internet culture. Look at what happened to reddit when digg died.

Moeras-Duits is ook Duits, toch?

I blame Digg for failing. It increased Reddit’s popularity too fast, which was a bad thing bringing too many people, fucking up the culture reddit had built (which wasn’t much, but it was ours).

It’s a containment site; has been for a while.

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”

Remember, kids, “less” is for uncountable things, like liquids, whereas “fewer” is for countable things (like apples).

It’s one of many weird rules that English, as a language, has.

How far can I get with three fitties?

XP file search was slow as shit.

Everything for life! (locate (package: mlocate; run updatedb to get the initial load) for terminal on Linux, or I just use find)

Windows 10 is RIP October 2025 anyway, so might as well.
