I hope Linux gaming can keep growing at a fast pace to combat the inevitable clash.

Good thing for FOSS, maybe. Non-profits suddenly not operating effectively for a few years is arguably worse for a lot of people that depend on them.

Sweet! This is great for people that want to enjoy content people are posting here, but want to avoid places like youtube (where most video content is coming from, even with peertube on the Fediverse or Odyssey having built in payment methods.).

I will say I saw your bot, triple comment on a post.

I do for sure. For tech questions, forum threads tend to answer my question or lead to more things to dig into, as compared to sponsored or super amateur blogs with confidently give me mediocre or useless answers.

Do I want an OS that can offload to remote servers? I mean kinda actually, that’d be neat. Do I want another thing in my life to be a subscription I have no control on, absolutely not.

Wow that’s really cool! Seems like a great way to tinker around with some web dev stuff! Curious to see how this could fit into a greater development pipeline!

The video conferencing on Matrix has been really good for me so far. FOSSDEM 2022 was hosted on it and that really sold me on Matrix as a solution tbh. The recorded talks played smooth, and the chats worked no issues, while the break rooms gave me that genuine “I’m actually at a conference” feel, because it was so easy to just join a room and talk with our cameras on and everything.

Teams has been mostly up and working for me, but we have “sorry teams wasn’t working” issues all the time, so that bar is low to me. Even more, matrix better fits larger organizations that frankly should be using the federated approach for a lot of things, and stop trying to have IT policies that fits hundreds of thousands of employees over large geospatial distances.

I really hope matrix/element takes more space in enterprise space. Sure Teams has some more features, but they suck tbh, so even i wanted to use their white board or “wiki” features, I don’t because I don’t want to wait a few minutes for a “wiki” to load, and no else does either!

I don’t get the medium critic either. If medium paid someone for their content, sure, they should have the right to host it even the writer now disagrees with them, but if they a platform and sharing some profits or no profits with the creator, pound sand, they absolutly get to hold their content hostage. They have every right to move their free work or stop sharing their free work where ever they feel like.

I think this attitude is so worth having. Like the world can be a better place, we’ve seen what a better world looks like in little pockets before people slowly come in and ruin it, but we can get it back.

I remember asking years ago “how can I watch movies ethically, both supporting FOSS formats, owning my copy of the content, and paying the creators for their work?” I think the answer has gotten even more elusive now than ever.

surely that will help former redditors support the decision, redditors loved musk /s

Oh the late stage capital slogan is now “what the market will bear”

Yeah, thats why strata like peertube reducing costs with p2p sharing helps, or lbry (rip, I think) attempt to put in donations and tipping directly in was key for those to gain any traction.

Going further in cost reduction is what I am hopeful for. Better AV1 support and IPFS support are two develops I am following. A more radical approach may be using latent space generation from AI models like stable diffusion to generate frames locally instead of storing and transmitting perfect copies.

I know I personally like open assistant more just because you get less blocks
