What Elon Musk doesn’t realize is that there’s a whole lot of devs who used Twitter’s API, not because of the network effect, but because it was a free API to build neat products upon.

Now you’ve removed the biggest motivation for actually using that API.

@ixi It took me 10 seconds uninstalling keepass and another 5 minutes to setup another software. Let them do whatever they want. I no longer recommend #keepass.

In my view their reasoning is horrible, they are ignorig everyday practice and real life challenge.

#keepassxc is a good option.

Are you getting message: "The following security updates require Ubuntu Pro with 'esm-apps' enabled" Here is how to fix it to get updates on your Ubuntu Linux VM/Server or desktop for those packages. https://www.nixcraft.com/t/the-following-security-updates-require-ubuntu-pro-with-esm-apps-enable/4492/2

@stopgopfox I think you all should boycott Florida. Don’t travel there, don’t vacation there, and like minded corporations shouldn’t hold events there.

@sadtaco @stopgopfox
Main stream news doesn't catch that as easily as not they'd be the next target. They would be better off calling it like it is and helping stunt fascism rather than preemptively capitulating in hopes of avoiding being a target.

Do not journalists study history?

Congratulations to Exxon Mobile for earning $56 billion net profit in 2022. Against all odds, they found a way to make record profits

$6.3 million per hour
$1,750 per second

But don’t worry. That didn’t stop Exxon Mobil from getting subsidies from our government. Since FY2000

Texas gave them $1.4 Billion
Louisiana: $500 Million
The federal government: $5.4 Billion in bailout money

Does anyone want to know why we are speedrunning to climate crisis?

Bottom line: only an idiot would choose discord as a support channel for their #FOSS protect - especially a Linux distro!

Why you would even consider using discord is beyond the comprehension of most #FOSS and #Privacy_advocates, and the best case scenario results only in fracturing your user base and disenfranchising a huge swath of the community that will simply disregard your project as hostile and as a whole without user support.

Twitter just announced free access to the Twitter API will end on February 9, with unannounced pricing or usage details, effectively killing every free fun and useful thing ever built with it: bots, games, mashups, visualizations, research projects, autoposters, autoblockers, deleters, and so much more. https://twitter.com/twitterdev/status/1621026986784337922

@biktorgj@fosstodon.org #Snap packages is what killed it for me. I still have two older servers running #Ubuntu, but once they get some maintenance love they will become #Debian servers instead.

The New York Times is still normalizing extremism. It's futile to imagine that this will ever change.

When democracy dies, the Times will explain politely that government of the people, by the people, and for the people was just one side of the issue.

@Ten personally I only use #bash since that's what gets things done and just works for what I need to do.

I can't be bothered to learn anything that needs compilation.

The death of a double amputee wielding a large knife who was shot by police in Huntington Park, California, has sparked a national outcry against the use of force on a disabled person. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/police-killing-double-amputee-wheelchair-sparks-outcry-demand-answers-rcna68705

Let's say the Chinese government was using TikTok to surveil Americans.

If you ban Tik Tok, the Chinese gov can just legally purchase the same info from data brokers, because the US has almost no privacy laws.

Don't ban TikTok, pass a damn privacy law https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/01/opinion/tiktok-ban-china.html

Once upon a time I bought a reel of 10-conductor flat cable and I'm beginning to think this thing is going to outlive me.

The fact that insurrectionists are on the floor of Congress to debate -- anything -- is damning. Has a powerful nation ever been so powerless?
