@echo once I made the mistake of carrying a ukulele under my jacket like that.
The police ended up pulling me out of class.

@coolboymew All of these exist: federated social media, you can just get a VPS (if freaking TPB and libgen can find hosting I'm sure a microblog can) there are tons of crypto currencies and thanks to pine64 we have open source phones.

They won't do it because the people who will tolerate abusive behavior can't handle looking up new domains or slight UI weirdness on things like mastodon.

@aetios What would you say then? Do we have a phrase for "compatible enough with redhat Linux that it's not incredibly difficult to run most apps after just recompiling them?"

@aetios I tell people my portable computers run "GNU/Linux" even though all of them run alpine (or downstream distros) because it differentiates it from some of the very incompatible and anti-user Linux based OSes from Google.

@sodality@fosstodon.org Isn't there a fuse ntfs implementation you can use for that?

@0x0f Really? GoDaddy?

@unofficial_lwn I'm always a little surprised at how comfortable the gcc devs are with breaking changes.
Maybe that just comes from maintaining a C/C++ compiler for years.

@CSB Right, it's not running an interpreter/emulator it's actually doing on-the-fly (and sometimes cached ahead-of-time like android) translation.

@CSB I don't use macs for a handful of reasons but what's so bad about Rosetta?
My understanding is that it's a JIT and most apps spend all their time idle anyway.

@freemo I had a mastadon account on a different instance years ago but abandoned it. The recent stuff reminded me why federation is important. Furthermore the UI, software, and terms of use on qoto are IMO much better than most instances I've seen.
While I don't agree with some of my friend's political views I don't like the idea of a huge group of people being censored. It bothered me when platforms like parlor became so popular among them instead of something open like mastodon so I (and probably many people in similar situations) have been encouraging them to find an instance they like and join it.

@trinsec IMO: It would be best to get away from android entirely. F-Droid is an improvement but most of what people consider android stops functioning (sometimes entirely depending on the device) when you remove the closed parts.

@mh Also: shortcuts can be automatically trigged daily and fetch things and check if they were updated that day via the HTTP headers, but shortcuts are absolutely terrible for programming and you can't distribute automations.
