I guess Geany could work?

Go with Plan9, obviously

Reminds me of Vault 111, where the overseer is the friendly dictator that knows best and should never be questioned. Seems like a fitting version number

Possibly semi intentional given that Warcraft was almost a Warhammer game and got plenty of artistic inspiration from it

Are we stupid?

More than you could imagine. To paraphrase some long-tongued weirdo: I’m uncertain that the universe is infinite. Human stupidity, on the other hand…

will require identification and photo validation

Straight from the book “How to kill your app before launch”, page 1.

data privacy at its core

Looks like they haven’t seen the obvious conflict with requiring id + photo, unless they plan on manually review every application.

After reading the article, it sounds like they’re just making yet another xitter clone with the hopes that govt figures will use it. Govts could just spin their own mastodon or similars for a similar effect.

Stupid name, vv, or vave would’ve been better. Besides, it’s not like they’ll register v.v as a domain, or even www.w.vv

wish meta had torrented all the viruses, too, would be fun to read the news of “facebook and instagram are offline as meta suffers from cyberattack”

Tends to be as helpful as those windows saying “We are looking for a solution to your problem online”

Pictured: Nadella holding in his hands all the profit M$ can make in the next 30 years even if AI booms like he really really really wants it to.

artificial intelligence (AI) risks becoming a speculative bubble unless its use spreads beyond big tech companies and wealthy economies.

Oh, you mean there is a risk it becomes the thing it already is? Boy, imagine that!

The really funny thing is how he says that “the benefits need to spread outside the tech sector”. Golly gee, I wonder why other sectors haven’t benefited yet! Could it be that it’s not worth the hype and it does not improve anything that typical computer systems are already working on, like managing electrical grids, keeping track of shipments, avionics, etc? Nah, it’s all the doomers’ fault

“StackOverflow is down” is the more common cause where I work

The main driver for lock in is hardware. Like I said in my comment

Only a limited number of models can receive custom roms.

TL;DR: cloud or not, maintain your agency.

Even that is getting harder, thanks to google and micro$hit doing everything they can to lock down their respective OSs. Linux on a desktop, yadda yadda, but we’re ~12 years into the smartphone era and we still don’t fully own those electronic pieces of shit. Only a limited number of models can receive custom roms.

Ever heard of vaccines? Take once, don’t get ill, buy no pills

I thought people would miss the keyboard on smartphones. Turns out we are a small minority

Underground fort, so I could feel like a proper dorf

Singled them out because they’re the most used to seeing “autoplayers”, aka bots

When artists now are now asked, after years of being on social media platforms and these lackluster art sites, what their dream art website looks like.
They describe a store.
A store that is allowed to sell pornography also.

Capitalism and the greater opportunity to live off your art are definitely one of the biggest death causes of most community oriented sites. The moment money enters the equation, fun gets kicked off. Why show off your art around if there’s no profit to be had and the clout can’t be transformed into money?

The author finding Artfight and mentioning how it has no monetization further drives this point.

. And useless, even though I read this huge wall of text, I’m not closer to understanding what this plugin actually does.

That’s how I feel coming across half of github projects or frameworks.
