That’s a very quaternionphobic list.

The other four distros they use are Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Gobuntu and Mythbuntu.

What does ceding control even mean? Mastodon, just like Lemmy, is federated - each instance has its own governance. It was never controlled by a single person to begin with.

He can cede control of the GitHub repository, I guess, but:

1. That’s giving the controls to the contributors, not the users.
2. The article does not even hint at the existence of source code, and the announcement itself doesn’t talk about changes in that aspect either, so I don’t think that’s what’s happening here.

Bow tie, and also add a monocle.

Why? As long as the host it and moderate it, why does it matter that the platform’s code was created as social media?

Why use print! and not println!? You’ll just mess up the terminal text flow…

From a certain point of view - isn’t this exactly what happened here?

I often go into a Git worktree of one of my projects and mess around a bit to try something out. If I find it’s not working, I tell git to discard the changes with git checkout . and git clean -df. What I’m saying is exactly “on second thought, don’t do anything" - while what happens in practice is that Git restores all files to their HEAD status and removes all the new files that are not already in HEAD.

Of course, the difference is that I already have all the work I want to keep under source control, so these changes I’ve discarded really were that - just changes. He, on the other hand, “was just playing with the source control option” - so these “changes” he was discarding really were all his work. But Git did not know that.

These are not good boys

Small comfort: they still can’t physically force you like they can with biometrics.

You wouldn’t download a book?

Which is weird, because SovCits are a cargo cult who try to mimic the legal miracles top lawyers sometimes manage to pull off. Musk should be different - he does have access to these top lawyers who do have deep understanding of the law.

Unless Twittex’ lawyers got the same treatment the engineers got?

Concord remaster when?

For Windows 11, it would be an ad for Hitler instead of just a picture.
