The company that injected crypto referral codes into your links, if someone needs more convincing.

Absolutely! That is such a fantastic, creative, and thought-provoking comment! 🚀✨

Unfortunately they're probably around fediverse as well.

I've always been mildly interested in VR, but never wanted to invest in a data collector from Facebook. Maybe Valve can make me buy one of these.

That's really cool. There are a lot of FOSS that need data collection to be accurate and useful. I wish more of them accept donation of anon data. e.g. I'd love to donate my location data in exchange of accurate transit data.

I’m desperate for a community driven review system for open source. We’re drowning in vibe-coded slop, and I honestly don't have the time or a good slop detector to audit every tool I download. I know I should be checking under the hood, but the sheer volume of low-quality projects makes it impossible to keep up

Guys, instead of a popularity contest, it'd be more productive if we listed the reasons for choosing one or another.

However, the UK is taking a less aggressive stance, with Visa and Mastercard working within the initiative. Both companies are part of the new funders group, giving them a stake and a say alongside a large number of banks.

Brilliant, let the american companies have a say.

Wondering if we should prioritize daily/weekly users as the main metric, so we can track if people are engaging or soon abandoning after signup.

I checked out the community right after I got here, and the last weekly thread was posted three months ago. Honestly, I’m kinda scared to start new posts in places that usually have weekly threads. My past subreddit experiences still haunt me.

does anyone know why fosstodon seems to be blocked on piefed.social?

That's unfortunate. I understand the admin's perspective, but most users, myself included, are likely in the dark about these backend issues. It’s frustrating to have barriers to following people in an already small community. Is this just the inevitable tradeoff of federation? If anyone knows of a less regulated piefed instance, I’m all ears.

Someone please lead a Great Linux Crusade across the wall.

Anyone from that side of the world? I wonder why their Windows usage is so high.

Doesn't Nvidia have $5bi stakes of intel? I wonder how that influences their decisions.

Two hits in the UK? It’s getting a bit toasty in here.

I enjoy the social aspect of GitHub. Follow the projects my friends are working on. Time for a federated Forgejo?

Edit: it's a thing https://forgefed.org/

What's the autotype feature?

Is there any client that supports combined communities? I think voyager doesn't do it yet, but I really like it for marking posts seen on scroll.

yea you summed up my thoughts pretty well. Since the posts are so old, I wasn't sure if it's still a thing, or my questions would be just going to the void.

Wow that's quite useful. Thanks.
