You pure, unadulterated bastard.

Well, if you get to remove one digit a year I’ll still have my thumbs. I guess.

On the other hand, discord is a great way to help organize a community wiki.

When you are trying to build a community

…Don’t use community software, got it.

Honey this is an Applebee’s, shit wherever you want.

It’s still popular because it was popular.

Also, it was simple and modular.

It was largely succeeded by monolithic and enshittified versions of iTunes, which have zero appeal these days. So it’s still remembered fondly for not enshittifying and not trying to build a walled garden.

Well, it is on Android…

But the main app is tightly integrated into the win32 api–moving it to linux would basically require a complete rewrite. DEADBEEF is an example of something like this. Parallel values and ideals, but open source.

There are wine-bottled versions out there. Of course, whether or not output is bit perfect would depend on the wine settings. Bottling it, of course, defeats the point of the program being highly modular/extensible.

Also, you have to remember that a lot of proprietary formats have proprietary encoders/decoders that are incompatible with the GPL.

Shipping Windows binaries are much less of a hassle for the dev than than trying to reverse-engineer everything they need or figuring out how to manage dependencies with different licenses across different package managers and distros with different goals.

tl;dl foobar2000 is an excellent sum of its parts; like Winamp was back-in-the-day. You start changing parts and you get a different sum.

Hummmmm…Lennart Pottering?

All libertarians start and end at the same place.

At least Stallman championed other liberties, too.

I have no idea what "camping " means to you, but I can tow a pop up camper with my Impreza.

Porn sites have been at the forefront of nearly all online content innovation.

passing away of Bram Moolenaar has made me accelerate faster towards the day where my machine would be clean of any electron bloat.

Was he electroncuted or something?

6 years ago, I was using a USB wifi adapter with my desktop (my friends next door paid for internet and we paid them half the bill to share).

I had picked this wifi adapter specifically because it had linux support, even though I used windows (I had an inkling I’d switch). So, I tried to switch but upon boot I couldn’t wifi because the adapters module wasn’t bundled by my distro so I had to instal ‘dkms’, but I couldn’t do that without an internet connection…

So yeah, it can still bite you.

IMO this has less to do with Musk, or any moral consequences and more to do that most of Twitter’s traffic has always been bot activity, and companies are waking up to the fact that they have been paying to serve their ads to bots.

I foresee facebook and reddit falling to the same fortune.

Advertising is a drain on society that encourages regular people to choose and act suboptimally.

There are absolutely allowed to be laws around advertising and people absolutely have the right to be annoyed when those laws are not properly protecting them.

Video games are no longer a wild frontier, it’s a 50 year old established industry and market that is wildly profitable and absolutely deserves to be legislated into polite and proper conduct.

We absolutely should bitch and moan that meaningful legislation is not being passed on this front.
