Reddit itself is an empire. We want little community run fiefdoms. The real problem is you have to log into just one of them to participate. There are specs being worked on that will fix that, but this is new tech in the internet, it takes time.

"You're holding it wrong"

Do you think places like Puerto Rico and American Samoa are states or colonies? Do you think they get good political representation? It never ended lol

lol no, I'm not going to get mad at my neighbors, I'm going to get mad at people who are actively trying to hurt them, not the ones accidentally doing it

The problem isn't that fascists were voted into the White House. The problem is that there are fascists in the White House. Anything that doesn't address that problem is equally implicit in supporting fascism. Arguing with your neighbors doesn't get fascists out of the White House. If history is anything to go by it has obviously done the opposite

That post should've been upvoted, coward

This is how we get to things in v for vendetta where it's like "I haven't had real butter in a decade" because it's so expensive (because animal byproduct) and only the oligarchs can afford it

$13 for a dozen at wal mart here in Columbus Ohio. Over a dollar per egg lol.

I see the backend and front end released. The back end is AGPL and the front end does need a license (assumed it had one, my bad). Assuming he puts the same AGPL license on the front end, I don't see anything unsubstantial? The community gets to make squooshloops or whatever name comes up and the backend and front end belongs to them at that point to release on their hardware.

It's all ActivityPub, so mastodon users wouldn't miss see a thing go wrong? Start subscribing to squooshloops.social accounts from your instance's deprecated Pixelfed software like nothing happened because the squoosh devs were smart to make it compatible with other ActivityPub apps. Once adoption hits a masse, and maybe ActivityPub specs changed, and squoosh added new things to their spec that other services expect or depend on, new versions of squoosh and other activitypub software stop trying to be backwards with the unmaintained pixelated and loops.video software. Those instances are forced to use a fork or stop federating with those other instances who no longer support the old stuff. The world keeps moving and remember that time when squoosh was originally that failed loops thing.

Kinda like how Chrome has its roots in WebKit which has its roots in KHTML which has its roots in KDE. I'm not seeing a problem honestly. Yes, KDE's konqueror is dead (rip, I used KDE and loved that jelly K browser icon ever since I was like 12 in 2005). It lives on in chromium though, and has spread all over the world because of electron. Very weird story for that browser, but it somewhat shows my point: open source doesn't die. It isn't perfect — lots of valid complaints about chromium and electron, but none of the valid complaints are "that idea is gonna die if Google dies"

Free as in speech vs free as in beer (someone other than me should probably make a better version of this). Of course the cathedral is better, and if all mods were heavily incentivized to GPL then it wouldn't likely be a problem. People like sticking with defaults in my experience.

What's a good idea in open source that did die (and is still absolutely dead, even)? I'm sure you can find a GitHub project and be like "I like this idea and it's dead" fine. But these projects are so used and popular... they aren't going anywhere. That's the context of this discussion. These apps are fine if the dev leaves because they are open source now. The right people will continue the work of this guy goes I think.

New to open source? Good ideas don't really die in open source. If loops.video or Pixelfed are good ideas, open source will just do its thing because no one owns the idea once it goes open source

I got laid off two weeks ago am I supposed to just not work lol, my parents live with me:\
