I thought Pixelfed was just a photo sharing network. Can it replace any other functions of Facebook?

@mastodonmigration

Where is this current exodus coming from?

So what does the key with the dog/cat footprint do? 🤔

Why does anyone use Amex? I constantly see 'all cards accepted except Amex'.

Why is Amex so especially limited, and who still needs that?

@sjvn @TheNewStack

Unlike the other AI products, can Red Hat users opt out?

I'm not anti-AI, I just have no use for it yet and want my CPU cycles back.

Marrying the nation's economy to crypto seems like filling your gas tank with hand grenades.

But what would be the specific economic effects?

You know who is NOT going to ethnically cleanse our neighborhood? Kamala Harris.

I am not selling weapons to Israel. How am I supposed to stop doing something I never did?

I mean, just provide some proof that the kernel is proprietary.

First you said the Linux kernel is proprietary then you linked to a Linux kernel that is non-proprietary. That's like saying 'Birds are blue' then pointing to a bunch of red birds.

It might be more accurate to say 'some modules in some kernels are not free'.

@wall0159 @Suiseiseki

Yeah WTF! Linux's most famous attribute is that it is open source and free.
