Oh that has already happened. Second generation blizzard nepobaby PirateSoftware, misunderstood the goals of the initiative, started spouting personal hate towards Ross and made a video out of his stream for his large following months ago. People aren't exactly a fan of the guy because of another controversy. He generally never likes admitting he's wrong and apologizing for it. Always doubles, triples, quadruples down.

So that video he made got added to the list, big name drama/gaming news channels picked it up and got the ball rolling.

Kinda worried that nothing comes out of this because Ross did mention that he is aware of some amount of botting and, people making mistakes and also fake ones. Which is why reaching that 1.4 mill goal is important. The initiative has technically reached the goal but not 100% of the signatures are legit.

Forgejo (what codeberg uses) can be selfhosted too

Next they'll say "not giving your entire life savings to google considered harmful".

Shshshshshsh. We don't say that part out loud 👀

If you don't care about Nintendo games. Go for the deck 100%

Yeah. I thought it would be a superficial video too at first but dude has drunk the koolaid and is several kilometers down the rabbit hole.

Some people are going to bounce off, but this kind of publicity for linux from the once most subscribed youtube channel is great. Most videos about linux don't exactly fit the recommendation bill for a lot of Youtube viewers. Also not to mention that he emphasizes that he is "not a tech guy". And to add to that, his channel is a primarily gaming channel meaning people will not write linux off thinking it can't play any games.

If nothing else, I bet a good chunk of people will be crediting this video as the reason why they got into linux/FOSS and even STEM in general in the future.

They're still region locked on steam so I wouldn't hold my breath on this one.

Yeah the free beer thing is what I use to explain what the "free" doesn't mean. "Free as in freedom. Not free as in free beer."

I heard that the creator of the MMO had people they knew within ycombinator at the time. I wonder if it's something similar this time around. Eitherway, it's not a good look for ycombinator

Now run Doom on it.

You'll find blog spam and ai slop if you look it up online. Systemd's website/man pages should be the resource that brings me up to speed.

I had to read about run0 and other upcoming systemd features from Lennart's Mastodon which I'm not a fan of either. These kinds of things should be on the systemd website itself.

I think if systemd were documented in a more consumable format (the man pages need better organization IMO) more people would see how powerful it is. Mounting directories with BindPath, and BindPathRO, Limiting systemcalls, socket activation and cgroup integration, and nspawn containers are features I can't live without.

I feel like a lot of people that get attached to the "It tries to do everything and it's against the unix philosophy" argument might change their minds when they see the tradeoffs. It has its problems for sure, but you get a lot out of it.

These days I don't even use docker containers for running services. I just put it in a systemd service and lock it down as tightly as I can.

I really hope they adopt this. Not just for tech. To me, the world would become a little bit more interesting with a payment card called a DomCard™ in it.

I'm not commenting on implementation itself but rather on how Mozilla went about with an opt-out approach into the collection program (even if it was for testing) to a community they have cultivated with the promise of privacy.

Collecting my data is a big deal. It doesn't matter how it is used. I should at least consent to it.

Related announcement: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/privacy-preserving-attribution

TLDR: Mozilla wants your data and it's opt out. If you're on FF 128 it's already on and you will have to turn it off manually. Shame how they have fallen this low. The LEAST they could have done is show a pop up announcement when the user upgraded to 128.

Also: +1 to Librewolf. Mozilla is definitely going to try more scummy crap like this in the future. Definitely the better option over Firefox.

needs more jpeg

Detaching basic features from an existing free product and making people pay a subscription for it.

"... unless it makes you rich"

I genuinely thought it was just me but yeah this has always been the case for me. Neat concept but I think that living in the middle of nowhere with crappy internet makes it impossible to use for me.
