Our consciousness is just a side effect because he insisted in doing the coding in Haskell.

Lisp is the true God’s programming language…

According to the dude, people with no foreknowledge also saw the same things. “Seeing the code of the matrix” definitely sounds better than “DMT enhances random patterns”.

Good point, but you can do if === true… and else if === false…

But definitely better to throw an error instead of nan.

in a dynamic typed language with dumb string to int coercions, I kinda get why such a would library exists.

If string return nan, else % 2

So it’s more a symptom of terrible language design than modern dependency hell.

Dependency chain: is-even depends on is-odd which depends on is-number

Where did you get my claims about Ubuntu from?

You joined a comment chain about Fedora and Ubuntu, so…

I didn’t write a word about Canonical bro.

Thought you’re the other dude

To ward off mammalian herbivores, because birds can spread their seeds over a wider area. So the task was successfully failed.

On one hand USA bombed my country, poisoned the waterways with depleted uranium, and helped war criminals rip a chunk of it off and continue ethnically cleansing people to this day.

On the other, for over a decade China has been helping criminals running the country embezell billions in return for putting us in so much debt who knows how many generations will be paying it off.

Both can go fuck themselves.

RIP lisp machine

You are funny. Pocket is a core value?!?

I know your reading comprehension, or thinking for that matter, is not so good, but try to take the whole sentence and figure out how those examples fit in.

Can’t you handle that? Are you too fragile for that?

Don’t worry, I can handle laughing at you just fine. You seem to be losing it though.

And childish as you are, you assume you know what I’m talking about. That’s just a pathetic move! Learn to debate, and stop lying!

Holy shit, this must be what talking to Trump is like. You see an argument you don’t like, start screaming incoherent nonsense and fake news, mix in a few insults that make you feel superior, and end up thinking you’re debating anything.

I was responding in the context of users paying for access, the same thing OC was talking about. You would then need to create a for-profit entity in order to be able to charge for the use of the app.

Mozilla is more an organisation than a company. It turns profit to work for the free internet

There are 2 organizations, the Mozilla foundation and it’s subsidiary the Mozilla corporation. The corp is a for-profit entity, they’re the ones developing software, and generating revenue (mainly through the Google search deal).

in a world where companies with billions oppose it.

Source? The main opposition to Mozilla are ad agencies, and former employees who think they’ve abandoned their values (pocket, Google, AI, MDN, etc.). Their main opposition in the browser space has been keeping them afloat for years.

But yeah, I’m sure that this federated (which also means an organisation of a sort) will prevail on it’s own. Nice banner you have here - and the following is surely huge! ;-)

Wtf are you talking about? Learn what the federated part of fediverse means.

Also, love how you’re talking shit about federated services on a federated service. You can’t make this up.

And feddit du cost money - the cost is just shared by the ones making and maintaining the serves and software. But hey, keep believing it’s free…

No shit hosting cost money, I was specifically talking about the cost to the end user, the same thing as you…

Matrix is not free. It might be private - who knows for sure? And it’s not used by many…

Lmao

Matrix is a FOSS protocol, and there are multiple FOSS apps using that protocol. You can even host it on your own if you want to be absolutely sure nobody can get any possible metadata. You literally can’t get more sure than that unless you write it yourself…

Where did I write “for profit”? Are you really that clueless? A reasonable price, is what it cost to develop and maintain it, and promote it. You know, just like Mozilla does. It’s not a “for profit” company, it’s an organisation for internet privacy and freedom.

Again, the Mozilla corporation is a for-profit entity, and that’s why they’re able to charge for premium services…

So please stop you lies. That’s a childish way to try to argue!

Do a bit of research instead of spouting nonsense, calling names, and throwing tantrums. It’s not very mature.

I really won’t… The closest I’ll ever get to installing it is Mint, there’s absolutely no need to waste time decrapifying it myself. Maybe you’ll get there as well pal.

But what we need is for someone like Mozilla to make a messaging app

Hoping for a company to make a chat app

And at a reasonable price…

Are we paying for fediverse services? Are there any companies involved?

Privacy isn’t free - if anyone should be in doubt.

Matrix is federated, private, and free…

What exactly did I make up? Were you hoping for a company to make a for-profit federated app?

You’re commenting on federated social media that you’re hoping some company will create a centralised chat app… Use a matrix client my dude.

Fedora is indeed mostly backed by a for-profit company, always was.

Pretty much every successful FOSS project is funded by for-profits, but that doesn’t change the fact non-profit companies have completely different goals and obligations.

Not sure about the rest of the rant

That explains why you think people don’t use Ubuntu because it’s for noobs. They’re undoubtedly the scummiest distro since Novell-SUSE.

Yeah because fedora is made by a for-profit company that’s helping Microsoft EEE Linux, has sold user data to Amazon, shows ads in the terminal, collects contact info from Azure so the marketing team can upsell you, and hijacks established commands to trick you into using their package manager which slows down boot times with every package installed, oh wait…

It’s as much of a meme as most of the content here, like any of the funny screenshot posts for example.

Funny how they left out blatant police brutality like this

You missed the overpriced and underpowered part. In the EU, the pinephone pro cost 600€, the same as the fairphone 6, and it’s significantly worse in every single way. Even if it actually worked, who in their right mind would pay that much for a device that’s going to run out of ram as soon as you open a few tabs in Firefox?

They base a lot of their development on the community though. So if the community isn’t up to it, then virtually no one at Pine64 is.

I doubt they’ll be fixing anything since they seem to have stopped selling them.

Also, if we go by their track record with the pinetime, PRs fixing basic functionality will be left open for years. Like how they can’t be bothered to accept fixes allowing the stopwatch to run in the background and not reset when you get a notification, let alone QoL improvements like being able to tell the time on your watch while the stopwatch is running.

I was on board the Fairphone hype, and while I think they have a good message, I actually think Pine64 does exactly what they do - just without the flashy marketing.

Exactly what they do, except it’s not a functional product. “Overpriced, underpowered, and half-finished” is the motto of pine64.
