Could be someone excited to add content to peertube, which desperately needs it.

If you’re looking for a free VPN, I’ve had good experiences with https://riseup.net/en/vpn

GPL does not restrict you from selling the software

Oh god, we know.

Practically speaking though, if anyone can redistribute it for free then it’s available for free.

So LTS isn’t really LTS.

Glad I switched to Debian.

However, Ubuntu started a service called Ubuntu Pro / ESM that provides updates for packages in universe.

Since it’s all free software, what gives Ubuntu the privilege to restrict these updates behind paywalls and signups?

Pro is also free for personal use on up to 5 machines, so there’s no reason not to enable it.

Fuck that bullshit. We shouldn’t be encouraging or enabling this behavior at all.

It sure seems that way. Their “extended security maintenance” spam says that there are security updates that are only available if you “subscribe”.

I asked the Linux community about this, and didn’t get a straight answer (not surprised.)

It was enough for me to switch to Debian, though. There’s no excuse for updates to be locked behind paywalls or sign-ups in the free software ecosystem.

Horrible idea. Let people share what they want and give the means for individuals to hide content they don’t want to see.

We shouldn’t be deciding for other people what they are allowed to see.

The next generation of internet users should really look into the Streisand Effect. You’re only going to drive more people away from your cause when you try to control what they get to say and what they’re allowed to see.

I’m already abandoning the left as quickly as possible because I’m sick of yall’s censorship and propaganda tactics; this is just another one of them.

For me it’s independent or bust. You can thank all the brow-beaters, tantrum-throwers, useful idiots, and mod-abusers for why I’m no longer loyal to their side. These kids need to grow up if they want more adults to take them seriously.

Hard disagree. Just like when people in the fediverse tried to block using certain words across the entire medium, this is going to cause more harm than good to appease people who can’t think for themselves.

I swear, the brow-beating crowd really has had free reign these past few years. It’s time to rein them back in and watch them kick and scream like the tantrum-throwing children they really are.

Not everyone succumbs to peer-pressure like you do.

Good on them. People like you need to understand that brow beating is not the way to get what you want and doesn’t make you right.

You can buy better hardware for cheaper prices.

Framework exists to take advantage of naive people who are just trying to fit in with strangers on the internet.

Another scam company like framework trying to charge exorbitant fees for computers without dedicated GPUs.

Don’t be fooled by the viral marketing/useful idiots, guys. Just go with the product that’s the best deal for you.

I highly recommend using Manjaro Linux.

It’s great for practical usage by practical people.

KDE is also the best choice, in my mind. DE will probably have a bigger impact on your experience than distro.

Why bluesky instead of mastodon? It’s like saying lemmy.world is going to replace reddit instead of the Lemmy platform.

Are you just commenting how the people who use something like twitter are eager to be herded like sheep into the next walled garden?

Are you part of the bluesky viral marketing campaign to make it artificially seem like it’s “already won”?

This is usually where these apps stop for me.

I genuinely don’t care about what other people have to share.

Do you think saying women can’t think for themselves is “hate speech”?

Both.

Peertube made this asinine decision to make federating opt-in, so most instances are just places where the owner can jerk themselves off for excluding everything.
