It will help identify the generation.

But that mindset will also help promote planned obsoleting, since they can more easily say, "your system is 3-5 years old".

If you cannot laugh -- What's the point?

It would be unhealthy to be serious, all the time.

@lowrah@blorbo.social

You think that is public knowledge, but it is not. The last time I saw anyone use "SS" was when Russia was invading Ukraine, and it had nothing to do with Germany Nazis.

I remove nazis for Meta (Facebook) and they do not post lighting bolts. They post a lot of other things, and stuff that would absolutely disgust most people, but not lightning bolts.

@puniko Happy Birthday! 🎂

I wish you many years of long life that is prosperous, along with good health and good fortune.

Our administrator @puniko@mk.absturztau.be is celebrating their birthday, today.

Wish them a happy birthday! 🥳

The mindset behind it is incorrect.

You want to be outside Us Jurisdiction? Notice: The nature of open source software means contributors of code, financial support, and repository mirrors, may come from anywhere, world-wide. This list focuses on the organization or group, and their registered jurisdiction, or if not registered, their implied jurisdiction.https://codeberg.org/Linux-Is-Best/Outside_Us_Jurisdiction/src/branch/main/Operating_System.md

ReactOS, is not the only one listed, but since you bring them up current ReactOS is one distro that uses GitHub, but they can leave GitHub. Fedora, cannot escape the USA.

I have provided a list of operating systems that would just fine for people living in South America, Africa, etc. " Your proposals seem to promote protectionism."YES -- Just as you would protect yourself from using an operating system reliant on China or Russia, I think you should protect yourself from an operating system reliant on the United States. You'll notice, I do not recommend Deepin Linux, for example, the same way you do not.

But unless you hard fork, or start something independent - You are still subject to USA shenanigans, if the upstream is American.

@rriemann@chaos.social @eu_os@eupolicy.social

You know, going forward, it is my intention to actively campaign against EU_OS. - Sorry.

I do not believe you have, currently, the best intentions, and I believe your concept is misleading in a false sense of security. You can, choose to become independent, as others have, NixOS, for example. Or you're just promoting an American operating system, rebranded. I would not recommend your OS, anymore than I would recommend China's Deepin Linux or Russia's Astra Linux.

You seem to want to ignore this obvious point, and so I do not believe you're acting in good faith.

That's great, but it is incorrect.

And this, folks, is why I am careful not to upload large files on the Fediverse.

Things cost money, and I'm a guest in someone's home, whenever I use their community site (Fedi site). Space is a precious, valuable resource.

Joe Biden should not have been President.

He won only because of shenanigans by the DNC who had 12+ people jump into the race, divide the vote, and endorse last place. Joe Biden was so unpopular before that his campaign offices were empty, and when running against Donald Trump a 2nd time, dropped out, because he still remained just as inspirational (a near complete lack of).

Kamala Harris, was so unpopular, she dropped before the first vote, and when Biden made her his VP, I did a double-take to make sure I was not hallucinating. Yet, that is who the Democrats tried to force on us at the last possible moment.

These people were not the right people to unite folk. You need to be something more than just a democrat.

@puniko @noto_kororo@misskey.io

Only 1,231 years old? So young. Wait until you see your first million years, and things get interesting, as you start recognizing recurring patterns in the fabric of time.

@puniko @starlight Fair enough.

Your house, your rule. I'm happy here and grateful for the work you do. Just venting about of Sharkey's shortcomings - Pay no mind.

1 thing I hate about Sharkey

If you're replying to a post, and decide to select "delete and edit" and you mistakenly click anywhere that would dismiss that overlay, the post is gone.

It has been years, and they have not fixed that issue.

#Sharkey

I have had some really good, thought out post - the type that you're not going to be able to reproduce, vanish because of that issue.

So why not just edit the post?

Because Misskey, does not support edits. And so whatever mistype I was trying to fix, if I edited the post, Misskey users would still see that mistype.

So really, I blame both. -- Misskey and Sharkey.

The little tiny triangle which takes up only 2–5 pixels is what you're aiming for to resize your overlay so you can see your post, and if you miss it, your post goes "bye-bye".

@starlight I often wish @puniko would move us all to CherryPick, because where Misskey / Sharkey fails, CherryPick does better. The developer @noridev@kokonect.link does a good job.

@WarnerCrocker@mastodon.social

The bill is unconstitutional. -- Yet they're likely going to pass it anyway.
