so many open clients, yet you chose evil

Hello, I have downvoted your post!

Reasons include:

• stupid fucking clickbait title
• sharing information that was otherwise already obvious to everyone for the past 2 years
• quoting elon musk

The doomsday argument is correct, and becomes more obviously correct with each passing day.

Never thought I’d find another IRC and XMPP fan on lemmy. Let’s replace SSM/MMS/RCS with XMPP while we’re at it.

Windows is a good Linux advertisement

Linux is a good *BSD advertisement

*BSD is a good Plan9 advertisement

Plan9 is dead

Guess I’ll live in the woods 🤷

1. Agreed, and in addition, I hate the web interface dependency for github and gitlab, and how many system resources they use (can’t even load gitlab on my pinephone without it crashing due to running out of memory!). At least gitlab can hypothetically have a minimal open source client. I’d much rather just communicate with developers through mailing lists. If hosting is hard, there are providers for lists.

2. I think there’s nuance to this. Of course there are asshats like MongoDB that pull the rug and enshittify; but on the other hand licenses are a tool, not an ideology. If fucking over corporations involve a more restrictive non-commercial license that isn’t open source, that’s a good thing in my eyes. It depends on the software being written and how it’s being used.

3. Fuck Discord, all my homies hate Discord; use IRC/XMPP/SMTP/Matrix instead.

4. I’m not gatekeeping anything, I only care if your patches for my ports are good.

5. FSF feels like a cult, they care more about the purity of foss than its practical effects on the world; and their specific implementation of foss (copyleft). This goes back to licensing and how there’s more nuance in licensing than if it’s open source or not.

If IBM makes redhat do something that greedy and stupid (it’d be more likely to happen with a distribution like fedora or centos than userland components), we have plenty of existing infrastructure to fall back on.

And neither Arch, nor Ubuntu, nor Debian, nor OpenSUSE, nor any other distro using systemd belongs to IBM.

Where did I say they belong to IBM?

Sure, the centralization is pretty damn bad. But for example replacing sudo is needed.

We already have doas, which is such a simple codebase I’d have a hard time imagining it contains a bug that leads to setuid being a problem. run0’s codebase size on the other hand…

Arch ships redhat userland (systemd) and doesn’t support alternative userlands; you have to go to artix for that.

Nah, I’m just referring to IBM’s acquisition of redhat. I’ve been referring to redhat as IBM in kind.

No, it’ll just be yet another pile of bloat that’ll separate IBM distros and their followers (rhel, fedora, centos, debian, arch) from the rest (alpine, void, gentoo, devuan, *BSD).

“I need multiple monitors to see all my content!” -> dead giveaway you’ve never used a window manager with virtual desktops or window grouping.

Or that you’re a streamer.

You think I want to financially support Mozilla with that blackmailers logic? Support qtwebengine devs, qtwebkit devs, netsurf devs, or gtkwebkit devs; or anyone that doesn’t stick malware in their open source browser for profit.

“just turn it off” until they update firefox and add in new spyware/adware tucked away in about:config you won’t notice until all your data has been mined

Worth noting this only affects the portable release of OpenSSH, so OpenBSD (or anyone else using the native release) are unaffected.

you know there was an amendment that was created for dealing with unelected tyrants. uhhhhh one? three? hmmm, I can’t seem to remember…

Very cool, I will keep self hosting instead of using corpoid “privacy” services that help convict climate activists
