Like I said to /u/entwine413 I am talking more generally, not just about literal files.

I’m not talking about just the files. I’m talking more generally.

To own something is to control it.

You clearly don’t have control, therefore you don’t own it, microsoft does. You can fix that by seizing the means of computation and install linux.

I’m struggling to keep my hype in check. I’ve resolved to the occasional glace at their git log and dev updates channel.

Most of it is pretty slow, but in whole it is exciting.

The nostalgia for the Kerbin map is going be crazy if KSA takes off and fills the void for the next decade or so.

On its own that’s misleading, you should be using the per capita stats.

lol those are actually two seperate Le Guin novels

You’re right, I think my brain fell out a bit when I said that lol.

I’ve just started The Dispossessed.

imagine Linux in an anarchist utopia where devs could just focus on making it better without corporate interests!

I’d think in such a world, it would very quickly become the dominant operating system.

It’s pretty shit. The constantly shifting priorities means we’re in an endless loop of making no progress on the main project, which is just a business management app.

I finished The Left Hand of Darkness this week. I can only imagine how rock solid Linux would be in a world like that, where nearly 100 planets could cooperate on it instantaneously.

I’m making a push to hoard my books a little more organized. With the space I have on my e-reader, I could easily have thousands of books.

And I intend to take advantage of that. And I think I might keep a local git repo just for the sake of making sure regex formatting changes don’t fuck things up.

At no point does the question say that the pizzas are the same diameter.

Can’t sell my data if I’ve never given them any

Because of the networking effect, people don’t leave.

Federation is strong specifically because of how it gets around the networking effect. You don’t need a .world account to see content from it. That doesn’t apply for Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube without shenanigans.

This notion that everyone’s just going to pick up and leave Lemmy

You don’t need to leave lemmy. It takes 10 minutes to set up a new account somewhere else, with zero downsides.

Even Lemmy isn’t magically immune. If the admins of .world got handed checks for a couple million dollars in exchange for the rights to operate the servers, what would discourage them from cashing out?

Nothing, but it would be far less disastrous than say some billionaire buying the town square of the internet.

Because it’s federated, everyone can just leave. There is nothing stopping people from ditching .world and moving on.

It is open source. But from what I can tell the accounts are largely still hosted centrally, and it isnt federated in any way, which isn’t great. Anybody can host an instance or server.

So ultimately it looks like a massive step up from Discord, with some small issues here and there.

Same. I just hope my friend group and by some extension the gaming community chooses something that won’t fall into the same pitfal of closed source for profit organizations.

I hope the transition is towards matrix, or something like it.

Kubernetes sounds like an awfuly strange strain of weed.

Did this one early this year. Luckily I just made a backup of absolutely everything just beforehand.

So I just gave up, nuked everything with a reinstall and I was good to go.

You like science fiction because of how it makes you feel about the future. I like science fiction because space ships cool.

We are not the same.
