I was going to try to goad you into making it work with docker swarm, but then I realized it already does that. Bravo, you beautiful psychopath.

What the hell is this? Ubuntu can’t just go around making decisions I actually agree with!

I had that happen to me, too, and I’m a straight man. Never really wanted to do gay stuff, and yet Tinder would constantly throw in gay matches as if to say “are you SURE you don’t wanna do a little experimenting while we watch?”

For what it’s worth, it sounds like it’s corporate sponsored rather than corporate owned, which is at least a little better in my opinion

This raises a question I’ve always wondered about: in the most technical sense, does having sex during working hours (meaning while you’re being paid) make you a prostitute?

I also want to throw the Android app BLE Radar into that mix. It gives you a map of Bluetooth LE devices around you. It’s available on f droid

I always saw them pitched by Fedora as the blessed way to run CLI applications on an immutable host.

Linux native apps are not forced into a container, except they are on steamos, so guess its coming everywhere later

I think they actually are by default. Steam Linux Runtime has been around for quite awhile, and if I’m not mistaken, it’s basically just a container full of either Debian or Ubuntu.

Four, at the very least.

And even if they did shut it down remotely, that could be construed as an unauthorized act of war.

I worked there during the whole VR pitch and they tried to encourage those of us with headsets to join meetings with them.

Nobody had legs. It was a huge selling point of the Quest Pro that you could have legs.

While I agree with you in principle, I separated mine because I use mini PCs for compute and there’s not a lot of room for storage in any of them.

This is what I want to know. It doesn’t do anything unless someone tells it to. Why aren’t the people telling it to make child porn being held accountable? My 3D printer can make guns, but they won’t send the printer to jail if I decide to tell it to make one.

I wouldn’t be naive enough to believe there’s not a backdoor somewhere in LUKS.

Sadly, they just got bought out by a big, stupid VC firm. Only time will tell what effect that’ll have on their day-to-day operations, but it does make me nervous. Not nervous enough to switch just yet, though.

That’s kinda my point, though. The solutions I mentioned in my original comment are already approaching the same level of simplicity as a smartphone, and they should be recommended over centralized options as much as possible. I’m not suggesting that the average person should try and host their own email, but with something like Yunohost, running a copy of Nextcloud or Seafile is about as difficult as installing their corresponding apps on your phone.

Moving to something that’s still at significant risk of being enshittified is an objectively worse move than going to something that’s not, though. I’m not saying to keep US tech, I’m saying to build your own now so you don’t have to move again in a couple years.

Call me cynical, but I don’t expect these to be better alternatives for long. The main issue lies with the fact that these services are both centralized and profit-motivated, and I don’t anticipate that the EU’s privacy laws, though they are better than those in the US, will be much protection once even one of these competitors gets big enough to have a say in politics. Self-hosted, open-source apps are a far better solution than relying on yet another company that has full control of the software, especially with the barrier to entry for those apps getting smaller with each passing day.

There are multiple projects available that will let you turn even a mediocre extra PC into a platform for self-hosted apps with not a lot of effort. Yunohost and CasaOS are two that come to mind, but other options exist. Hell, even just running Nextcloud is probably enough to cover most people’s SaaS needs, though it can require a bit more work than the other two that I mentioned.

That’s wild, because I recall seeing job postings for Vimeo as recently as 2 months ago.

It’s also a byproduct of petroleum refinement and an even worse greenhouse gas than CO2, so breaking it down into CO2 and water is better than just releasing it. Might as well make some lemonade.
