I feel like I’m in good company, I moved my stuff to my own forgejo instance about two month ago because finally I had some time to set one up. I wanted to do it for years because it was embarrysing to host open source code on a closed source platform ran by Microsoft. But my main kick in the but to really just do it was their CEO told his workers to embrace AI or get out: https://www.businessinsider.com/github-ceo-developers-embrace-ai-or-get-out-2025-8 I knew this is not the place to be anymore.

I’ve been using TextEditor.app on OSX to quickly open it and jot down something during meetings, etc. until Apple put in cloud into it and you needed to first choose the name and the path of the file where you wanted to store it.
This is when I decided to write TextEd.app which would only do what the previous app did, open a new window with a textarea and only when you wanted to save it it would ask you for the path and name. I even removed the RDT functionality and it would be just plain text without anything.

It’s easy to make a movie sound dumb by attacking only the weak points and not acknowledging why it is very popular.

For Bladerunner for example:

Half the movie is just people wandering through neon fog acting like every sentence is the meaning of life. And yet somehow nobody ever explains anything.

Deckard is supposed to be this legendary hunter but spends most of the time getting tossed around by the very things he’s meant to “retire.”

The world looks incredible, yeah, but it’s basically style doing all the heavy lifting while the plot tiptoes behind hoping nobody asks questions.

And the big emotional moments? They land mostly because the soundtrack shoves them at you, not because the story bothered to earn them.

It’s a good movie, I watched it with the kids, we all liked it. Children like it as much as they did Frozen back then.

It’s one of the very few original movies nowadays which doesn’t just reheat some old franchise, so I’m all for it to succeed and show that it’s worth to make new original movies.

Zero, because when I decide to join a fediverse network, first thing I do I set up a single user instance:

• https://toot.jeena.net/
• https://tube.jeena.net/
• https://piefed.jeena.net/
• https://git.jeena.net/ (they are working on activity pub)
• https://jeena.net/ (indieweb)

Wouldn’t it make business even more easy if the capitalists could enslave all of us to work for free for them?

I guess same as you get enough oxygen at home even if you don’t open the doors and windows at all.

I found a cool guy to talk to because he read my blog post about “Scaling on Linux” https://jeena.net/scaling-on-linux and he reached out via email and told me that we had similar problems. We met for a beer and some more Linux talk and we’re in contact on Matrix since then. It turned out that he hosted the FOSS for all conference last weekend so I went there too and interestingly met a lot of people from Lemmy there: https://piefed.jeena.net/post/271523

What I’m trying to say is reach out to people, it will develop into cool things over time.

That in itself is art.

It’s not used for harassment because strong social norms discourage it. You would lose face if you’d do it.

Here in South Korea every car has the phone number of the owner displayed through the windshield so you can always call them when they parked false or so.

When a bridge works like the discord and the Signal and WhatsApp ones it’s amazing not to need to log in to those services anymore just to see if someone wrote something to you.

Sadly most of the bridges are either broken like the Facebook one or straight out don’t work like she KakaoTalk and WeeChat ones because the services remove capabilities which before made it possible in a hacky way.

I run it on Ubuntu and installed it with apt about 7 years ago and had zero problems, it updates itself when I run apt upgrade, it turns itself off for a couple of seconds and then it’s back up.

One cool thing is that I had no idea that this happened until I just read it on their blog even though me, my friends and family use Matrix extensively.

But all my friends who are on Matrix host their own servers because it’s quite easy, and my family uses my own server, only my brother uses a matrix.org account, but he doesn’t write much.

This is decentralization working as it’s supposed too, when enough participants are federated and not centralized.

On Lemmy the lemmy.world and the piefed.social instances are similar to matrix.org and I think all of them, including mastodon.social should close new registrations. I mean the flagship instances have their place in the beginning, but once they become so big they should be locked. The teams behind them can open another instance if they want to keep growing, but they should be run on a separate infrastructure to prevent bringing them down at the same time.

Yes instances can be defederated, but on a single user instance you get defederated because of what you did, not because of some other people did.

What do you mean have no reach? I’m on a single user instance and can write to any community on any instance I want.

I’m lucky enough that Linux is one of the half official OS which are allowed and half supported at work.

I’m even more lucky that IT isn’t tech savy enough to be able to do to the Linux installations what they do to Windows and Mac where they preinstalled some rootkits and don’t give you admin rights.

Therefore I’m a Linux enjoyer without involvement of IT. I need to fix all my problems myself and do security and backups myself, but that’s a price I’m more than willing to pay.

For the first time, China’s Ministry of Commerce issued policy announcements in documents only accessible via domestic software last week

There was a possibility to start sharing in a open format so everyone can read it. But they chose to use one even more closed then Microsofts format.

I wonder why, Jesus also served his wine on parties like weddings and so on.

Communism: stateless, classless and moneyless sociality. DPRK: totalitarian hereditary dictatorship

They are not the same.
