Afaict there is no definitive proof or conviction of SA. All evidence available comes from Pieke and exurb1a doesn’t seem to want to publicly engage with the accusations. Here is a third perspective that covers the most relevant pieces of evidence. It looks bad for exurb1a and the evidence to me seems to show some level of manipulation and drug-related bad behavior on his part, but as always, for any severe accusation, it is good to trust victims, but one should also withhold definitive judgement on the accused until proven guilty (either by undeniable evidence or legal proceeding).

I would agree if ads were the only sustainable way to fund content on the internet. They’re not. Direct fractional funding should be the universally accepted scheme and until companies figure that out, adblock all the way!

You are literally the kind of liberal smuglord this meme is about.

Forgive me, but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to engage in some liberal smuglordery :P

I want a society where the capitalist class is abolished, so that it no longer leeches off the labor of the working class.

Very cool goal! I wish you luck. However, to achieve your goals you must be rational and pragmatic. The situation in the context of this thread is thus: we have for-profit company Framework making laptops that are highly repairable, friendly to third party mods, and open source software (all things I hope we all agree are “good”). We also have the rest of the industry, most of which are also for-profit which does not do these things. I view the rhetorically pragmatic choice here, given the assumption that Framework contributes to some higher individual utility compared to anything else, is to support their mission, as opposed to dissing them as that in theory may put people off and they may stay with the less ethical companies instead. Or start your own laptop company that’s even better than framework and then diss them ;)

Haven’t used micro since I discovered vim!

And use secure open source ROMs!

Why Mozilla, Why??

Wish they put effect type, size and p-value in the title…

Holy Satan!

Good bot

And binary caching can even be disabled if you want a gentoo-like experience!

Huh? I thought duckduckgo maintained its own index?

Less “took over” more the founder left and the community picked up the pieces.

Arch is a wiki with an association distro

waaaat? I like the logo tho!

Amen.

I use monerujo from fdroid. Probably not as nice to use as cake tho. (Does cake require waiting to scan the chain for new txs when you open the wallet?)

I trust myself sometimes, its occasionally useful.

IPFS has good ideas, but bad design. Content-based addressing is a really good idea that allows for easy decentralization of data hosting, but conventional DHT implementations are not suited for the job. For something like IPFS to truly work, there must be network-enforced requirements for people who request data to re-host it for some time, there should not be a global lookup table, maibtaining global structures are terribly inefficient. How easy the process for finding data is should depend on how prevalent the data is, how much the requesting node contributes to the network, and physical constraints such as connectivity. To fix the multiple-formats issue, there should be built-in incentives for nodes to automatically shift data formats to newer versions as well as rehash data that points to that data.

(Or perhaps we need some AI-powered content addressing scheme that can extract true semantic meaning, i.e. The Condenser)

I have a lot of ideas on how a replacements for IPFS might be designed lol
