Emacs has panes. Is this supposed to imitate a fraction of the holy power? ;)

You could also consider Zulip they have been around for a while as the succesor of IRC but never arose in popularity. I like their concept of #tags for filtering messages inside a channel through #topics :)

Not OP, but I’ll chime in my reason: History. Messages older than… 30-day are only accessible for a fee. Even when you star/ pin those messages. It’s so hateful.

Yet, they’re entitled to their own decisions, triumphs and failures. So, they can shutdown the instance. Now, it would be a different thing if people really want them to be around again, raise some money, grab a backup, buy the domain name, let’s gooo!! …or not. Fine by me. If only 2 users from the instance decided to start a new one this is a huge win :)

The Age of Forks

Maybe won’t be all entirely too bad or doom… I would like to see a silver lining, some FLOSS developers are smarter than trolls.

Here’s a book for a different audience. Explains in layman terms why to be wary about this tech, https://thebullshitmachines.com/

What’s his crime? Drinking a succulent beverage??

Peasants? In one of the top capitalist countries?? Haha, good one… They certainly have farms, but that’s just one end of the production …

That’s not the defining characterisric for peasants, you pawn :p

I do read the docs. Even before trying software, to judge if ot will fulfill my requirements… Rocky Linux is one such example. Great docs, I’d love to try their distro one day :)

I just wanted to clarify the confusion that was in my head for a moment after going after the truth and fact checking. If I buy a pizza with Bitcoin and Lightning Network (which is the only one in use at most legal places), it’s not like I’m using 1600 kWh… The original message is misleading in that regard… Practical and concrete reality are different. But theoretical, if that pizza wanted a normal transaction it would use such amount of energy and take days (that’s why they wouldn’t use that)… So… There’s that.

Anyway, the dichotomy ‘AI or Crypto’ is false. I am not taking sides. But you do you, enjoy.

That’s not true if you were to use off-chain transactions (i.e. lightning network)

Copyright is always stupid

I bet other vendors implemented similar optimizations and have the same issues. That’s how it’s been in several occasions…

Continued expansion or ever-increasing profits is a definitive characteristic of the system though. Enshittification is just the latest feature it found, for software-based companies.

One could also argue that enshittification is independent to software, like diluting juice or other “innovations” that products received…

Instances can close registrations if there are too many bots, and somehow it could be okay. Bots aren’t impossible to fight, the problem is that capitalist platforms support or ignore the issue since for them is somewhat convenient driving engagement… Or whatever ad-revenue system is behind that.

Transphobes iirc

yeah, but then how am I supposed to remember “tar” ? :P
