Many of them still act as apologists for some pretty despicable ideas & groups nonetheless.

As if they can stop the people that literally stood up these sites. But yea - money has a way to wrap left leaning people too. I don’t think Spez or Dorsey started out dumb.

Elon.. moreso given his privilege & weird connections early on. Just glad my gf stopped swooning over him. She didn’t want to believe me about him till more stuff came out that she could relate - wasn’t enough that he he was an asshole to nerds that worked for & with him. Plus discrediting the actual founder of Tesla & pretending the guy never existed.

Slack too - just pay them $9 to access your own posts lol.

I think many were just that disgusted still - but I do agree. Why I left mine if posted under technical subs - otherwise I removed mine by overwriting.

Tbh I would rather browse flickr or dpreview when that was a thing than to jump on instagram. Never been on it - but seeing the stuff an ex would post and others I always found it offputting. I am sure it had good pictures on it at one point, but that was so long ago I never had an opportunity to experience it. I assume it was good before facebook bought them.

Why was it linking to web archive instead of the source?

Is any of this code open sourced, or on GitHub, gitlab, etc? Is the matrix channel private or open to any coders?

Yes - we’re causing climate change but El Niño isn’t helping so I wouldn’t pretend like every year will be worse than this one - but yea it can be on the larger time scale should we not tackle climate change.

Tbh the git app or protocol makes it so easy to get up and relocate.. and programmers in general are probably some of the most capable users of relocating that even if it were to happen many of them wouldn't care that much. It's a good portfolio site and decent for collaboration of many projects. Doesn't currently get in the way and provides good or better visibility for projects than gitlab or bitbucket. Till the visibility issue is resolved better by a competitor that offers something significantly better or github makes disastrous decisions then people will be happy at github. Regardless I don't think there would be much drama around moving homes if that day ever comes.

What I find interesting is that they basically ripped off The New Adventures of Johnny Quest imho making Ready Player One the more I think about it.

Might win me back over if the weird green lines and glitching I always see with chrome on intel GPUs under linux goes away. I've also spent a lot of time trying to debug the issue but nothing ever seems to fix it and of course none of the Linux driver devs that might be able to fix it care to work on the problem imo.

Guess I have felt lucky to have hardware decoding at all on chrome - considering the it has taken Firefox this long to support intel GPUs. I imagine it has something to do with how massive their codebase is compared to everyone elses.

Tbh you are best off start new projects on Debian, and slowly move your old stuff over. It's linux - the main difference will all be in the package manager and versioning.
