It's shame, if only the ideology wasn't born in an anglophone country maybe this common misconception would have never been a thing in the first place.

LIBERTÀÀÀ!!

Lol, that's a pity.
I'm lucky it came out after I completed my high school degree or I would have totally fallen for that trap, understanding the importance of internalizing fundamentals should be immediate, but we're all too lazy to face the truth until it bites us (yes pun intended)

Are you a fox by chance?

I've been loving it honestly, I used to mess up my systems pretty often in a way that upgrading to new releases had to be done from the command line because of random repositories I added, so things felt unstable.
Immutable systems on the other hand are dumbass (me) proof and I can still do what I used to do with those repos in safe environments or Flatpak now that it has become so ubiquitous for packaging.
Immutability is not a must, even though I really like the philosophy, in fact, if you're comfortable with what you have, you might be fine just converting over your current OS to btrfs.

Good luck, whichever option you try!

You can try doing an in-place conversion, here's a guide and the official documentation, remember to BACKUP and TEST your BACKUP at least twice, if things don't go well, you'll be able to fall back.
If you want to avoid all the setup headache, just reinstall with btrfs by default (I suggest Fedora Silverblue or openSUSE Tumbleweed for that) of course you'll still have to backup, just your data though, to be restored on the new system

I can feel the diabeTS

"Ever" may be a bit pessimistic, Cinny is going the right way, not totally there yet, but it is their objective

Can you have channels grouped under a server/space with it?

That sounds like a job for btrfs snapshots, they're provided by default in openSUSE

What do you mean with a decent context?

More than 2 even! No idea what they're talking about

I wouldn't say that yet, I've seen less circlejerky memes float up here in general

Less than three

..unless 😳

I like it, though it feels like a slightly different spin on 43's wallpapers

Hmm, that's strange, I'm on version 0.13.22 of Obtainium and my phone's architecture is arm64v8a, what's your setup?

I lean on the same opinion, and it's not like that at all, if Liftoff or whichever application were to be on the store with a pricetag they would probably even be happy to pay for it, this is not about cost for us users, it's about being sold to trackers and advertisers and it being proprietary. You can argue that if the developer made it open source then someone would have just forked it off without all the restrictions and privacy problems and that version would have effectively taken the place of the original, that may or may not be true, it seems like a lot of people are faithful to the original developer.
If it were to happen though, I think it would speak numbers on the practice itself, this is fundamentally an ethical issue, the developer made an application that he maintained over the years, I have huge respect for that in and of itself, he also made it paid for, absolutely fine still, but the free version has ads, that's not cool, not because ads are bad, but because the current ad landscape depends on tracking/profiling the users who consume them, now he will have made a fair bit of money in all these years so I'd say he already reaped the benefits of his own work, that doesn't mean he's not allowed to make more money off it, but as long as his work was based on another proprietary platform (Reddit) I'd say the ethics of it were in a gray area, kind of understandable, now he adapts his app to a new platform (Lemmy) that doesn't monetize its users and is libre software (can't go further than AGPL) and he keeps his app proprietary and with the very same downsides as before, not only that, it costs more, even though there are no API costs and the transition to it couldn't have cost him some ungodly amount of effort to implement, but that's beside the point, everyone names their price, I may not agree with it, but it's not a bad thing per se. What I'm not ok with is how he's half profiting off some other people's work, i.e. the server developers, I think it's morally wrong, but I would have never thought that if, for instance, he made it open source with no ads trackers and sold it for any amount (20€? 30€? Idk) on the Play Store. You probably wouldn't agree with me simply because ethics are subjective and free software is a matter of ethics, not money, I care about it because, to a certain extent (I'm not a maximalist) I care for my own freedom in computing and black boxes just hurt a free ecosystem.
