I think the premise here is just wrong. It's like asking would you drink seawater if it wasn't salty - that's just not going to happen, ever.

I am a simple person, I see Arch Linux, I upvote.

I use Arch, btw.

Most probably this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_(app)

Blind is an app that provides an anonymous forum and community for verified employees to discuss issues. Users on Blind are grouped by topics, company and their broader industry. The app verifies that the registered users actually work in the company through their work email and claims to keep user identities untraceable.

"Temporary" in corpo-speak means permanent if it generates profit and there-were-some-technical-issues if it doesn't, so this is just Felon Muskrat testing the waters.

I'd dare to say people don't choose Windows, it is forced on them by having it preinstalled and that seals the deal for most. Your average Joe Sixpack would likely not even notice they are using Linux, since most just browse the internet and the major browsers are the same for both.

Because the other 90% goes to rent or mortgage, right?

Just to note, Tillitis (the company behind this) was spawned by Mullvad: https://mullvad.net/...

You could also use the Dark Reader extension, which works for all the major browsers and is open source: https://darkreader.org/

holy hell

I think she forgot the "/s" from her bio.

I mean, no sane person would use this corporate buzzword salad as their bio, right?

There are two kinds of people: those that use Arch and those that haven't seen the light yet.

I use Arch, btw.

The cynic in me screams that this post is to stir up FUD because someone at BigSocial is shitting their pants right now... :D (/s?)

But yes, you have some valid points but stretching too thin is not going to get us anywhere and will just result in people leaving due to lack of content. Remember that divide and conquer is a valid tactic too, so having many small instances isn't going to magically shield us from Bad Things (TM).

I'm usually against violence, but when it's billionaire vs billionaire... brb, I need to get some popcorn.

The Red Planet has been colonized by the Penguin: https://www.theverge.com/...

In this particular case, you could say that the real unicorns were the human users.

It is with great schadenfreude that I welcome these news.

Make no mistake, they will certainly try to capture the standard under their exclusive influence, just like Google has done with everything web related.

Don't forget that the real migration has not even started, assuming there is going to be one - one week to go for that to begin.

OceanGate - with that name, I think they were onto something...
