Nice try, fed.

Some of the best stuff in the world looks like it’s 20 years past a prime that isn’t, because they’re truly good eternal.

IDK how easy it still is these days.

[packagemanagername] install xnest, tbh.

Yeah definitively sounds like even more support for Rust and/or Python in this sense.

Languages

C.

Frameworks

C.

That said, Python and Rust are great for setting up “starting up” / “small task” apps and growing up from there.

It’s certainly and obviously not, but:

• YT is not anywhere near the “literal only possible way”. Heck, air TV still exists!
• even tho it isn’t, I don’t see you nor anyone acting to that extent, instead you go on a self-defeatist-for-everyone attitude.

Does Youtube have a monopoly and network effect? Sure, absolutely, and someone’s gotta correct that. But it’s not a complete monopoly in the sense of “if you don’t eat you die”. If the main supermarket in the area doesn’t like me because “boobs” or something, I can still go to a minimarket.

…Look, you really get tiresome. I’d ask if you are fine but honestly you are not my problem. If you need serotonin or something, get you seen; don’t try to drain mine.

I mean , not with that attitude certainly. And dog that doesn’t bark doesn’t eat.

But if you want to be self-defeatist, you do you. I’d thought half the point you were even here, in a platform that is not GAFAM, was that you weren’t.

and platforms who leverage network effect need to be held to different standards

Then do so. Come on. It’s 2024.

Until something is seriously done, being able to at least go elsewhere has to be and is the rational option that is left.

Unless they want it to be possible that people see their content.

That’s what the airwaves are for.

But no, really, Youtube is neither that open nor that essential that the people not there are Somehow Invisible on the Internet. And even if that was somehow the case, you actually don’t need to upload video, you can just use a normal youtube account to comment and link your content wherever relevant “conversations” lead there.

I yearn to find the lost knowledge of how to do those thingies!

Okay where is False?

There’s like [checks notes] 2 more video platforms on the internet!

No reason these people can’t post on those, or host their own.

Yes.

Next up!

ICANN approves use of .awesome-selfhosted domain for your network

Always has been.

I think Proton is a good choice. I’ve heard good things about them.

Well they have been behaving just as Microsoft has been doing if we’re complaining about these kinds of behaviours. Handing over information about environmentalists and freedom fighters to repressive governments, etc.

a curse upon these distros

It’s not the distros, it’s Flathub who provides those warnings.

And they specifically logged and delivered data about freedom fighters and environmentalists, so there’s some bias on Proton’s hand there.

Think about it, do you really want to have X11 going forward the next decades?

If the alternative is a new system that literally does nothing? Sure!

Want to present a menu for windows? Wayland: “lol, do it yourself”.

Want to position a window? Wayland: “lol, do it yourself”.

Want to remember that a window has a position? Wayland: “lol, do it yourself”.

Want to add a global keyboard shortcut? Wayland: “AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

X11 may be old and whatever you want, but it works and it’s battle-tested. Wayland can’t even launch a full desktop session in my machine, which is even less than the failure Pulseaudio was back in its day and that’s saying something. And even if it did somehow launch, I probably would not be able to use anything serious like a media player or multiple workspaces on it.
