It’s different this time around.
The previous attempts were about freeing themselves from an abusive unprincipled data-hungry big data monopoly,
This attempt is about freeing themselves from an abusive unprincipled data-hungry big data monopoly operating in a fascist country and in cahoots with the regime.
I reckon it’s serious this time.
poettering is an absolute good guy here
Agreed. But he’s also an abrasive know-it-all. A modicum of social skills and respect goes a long way towards making others accept your pet projects.
pulesaudio protocol is used within pipewire and it works just fine.
I wasn’t talking about the protocol, I was talking about the implementation: PulseAudio is a crashy, unstable POS. I can’t count the number of hours this turd made me waste, until PipeWire came along.
I totally agree. I used to hate systemd for breaking the traditional Unix philosophy, but the reality is that a tight init and service-tracking integration tool really was required. I work with and appreciate systemd every day now. It certainly didn’t make things simplier and easier to debug, but it goes a long way towards making a Linux system predictable and consistent.
Poettering can go fuck himself though - and for PulseAudio too. I suspect half of the hate systemd attracted over the years was really because of this idiot.
Yes, it was a comment on what goes on in another country, for comparison.
Well, America has been running another experiment for decades that has left a lot of people unable to spell - or do math, or science or think rationally and critically: the destruction of the education system.
Come on… That’s just no true: Diddy still has only one asshole.
After Andy Yen’s endorsement of the orange utan, I would seriously reconsider using any Proton product.
Yen tried to backpedal meekly several times since then, to get out of the pickle he got himself into with his definitely-not-impressed customers, but it’s a bit late for that: either he’s pro-Trump or he’s naive. Either way, he makes Proton sketchy.
Not really. It would only require the new user on the new instance to be able to “own” posts and comments made by the old user on the old instance.
For example, the old user account could transfers its posting and commenting history to the new account (and the new account would be asked to accept the transfer of course).
When it’s done, whoever visits the new account, will see posts and comments made from the old account up until the transfer, and the old account’s posting and commenting history would be blank.
Then If the old account were to continue posting afterwards for some odd reason, it would build a new posting and commenting history from that point on. Or the transfer could become effective only after the old account is deleted permanently.
I don’t know exactly how any of this is implemented, but it would definitely not require monkeying with the actual past posts and comments.
I don’t think there is an account migration tool yet.
I am in the same boat: I want to move out of SDF but I can’t really because I want to keep the community I moderate and my account’s posting history. I mean I could certainly create a new account and pass the moderating rights from the old to the new, but I’d still be starting from scratch posting-history-wise.
So I’m holding off until account migration is finally a thing.
As a Linux user of almost 30 years, compiling hundreds of kernels over the years has given me a great appreciation of pre-build kernels, and a profound gratitude for those who package them up into convenient distros that work out of the box and let me get on with the rest of my life.
People who voted for this shit, knowing full well who Trump was and what he did, lost the right to open their trap about the consequences the minute they cast their ballots.
Fuck you funny man.
