I have this strange urge to give complete strangers nerdgasms with FOSS and GNU/Linux.
PSA: AntiX is better than Puppy.
When a guy that helps work on the development of Blockchain says that he "knows people that use Linux" but never has done so himself, that should tell you everything you need to know. If this becomes a thing, we are all screwed. Say goodbye to the right to be forgotten and God only knows what else. Talk about medical advancements all you want, but our ethics still have not caught up with our technology and the only ones that are going to have any real benefit have done enough damage already.
If Neo was color blind, the Matrix movie may have ended early, leaving us with The Office.
CARPENTER v. UNITED STATES https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-402_h315.pdf Happy Friday for the #privacy buffs 💪
MineRym? Can anyone guess the building? Looks like Minecraft, buts it's actually "Minetest" on #Linux
And one more reason to hate Electron. I like how the guy tweets that 365 is going to be JS based and brags about other services too but then goes on Reddit to blame the "misunderstanding" as an issue with autocorrect. It's never too late to come over to #Linux.
@Gargron If you're using Linux, could you use twidge to do what you're trying to do?

Basically, if it doesn't further the advancement of Mastodon itself, then I've learned to not even bother posting. People that would like to get attention while not having to worry about sucking up to admins can't handle that and they stop participating. Mastodon is awesome, but the admins are too personally involved for people to truely do their own thing. They're like a very active 'Big-Brother,' but members suck-up too much, hoping for a trickle-down effect to aid their profiles.
Can anyone see my toots or am I just talking to myself? I need to know because I'm starting to wonder if it's my privacy settings or if Mastodon should be renamed to 'Eugene & Cats'. That might be why people left or stopped participating. I swear dude, you post every 5 minutes and get 20 likes and reposts for things that belong on GitHub's 'Issues' section while the rest of us that don't post pictures of furries, cats, or Mastodons haven't got a chance.
This is a 'toot' command-line program test. Fingers crossed this works. I've been trying to find a different way than my phone or web browser to post here. pip install toot, if any Python users are curious.
So this is where we are with the internet now. 😞. It's like this everywhere. Thanks EU. Thanks US.
Microsoft is even showing favoritism to GNOME by deciding to rename is GVFS. https://github.com/Microsoft/GVFS/issues/72
@TheOuterLinux The timing of Canonical delaying to IPO, the timing of the $1M donation, and the timing of GNOME announcing its moving to GitLab days before Microsoft bought GitHub, and yet still there, is very coincidental. GNOME is Ubuntu's desktop environment now. They want it pretty before they get a hold of it. Investing $1M into interface and applications is laughable for Microsoft.
Supporting Ubuntu supports Microsoft. Canonical will IPO in two years, when GMOME's "anonymous" $1M donation runs out, and then M$ will buy them, essentially owning Ubuntu. Why mention GNOME? Because the guy that now runs GitHub ($7.5 billion purchase) on Microsoft's behalf is also a cofounder of the GNOME project, Nat Friedman. I tried making my case at https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/8o00a8/just_a_theory_but_i_think_that_the_mysterious_1m/?st=1Z141Z3&sh=6516c652, but didn't go well.
Microsoft may be buying GitHub. I would expect weird things in the meant time before transition. This way, M$ doesn't look like the monsters they are when they do own it. I'm seriously thinking about moving everything. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/01/microsoft--github-acquisition-talks-resume.html
