I love open source in an ethical sense, and I use it to meet all of my media and storage needs. Even my operating system is open source. However, as a consumer, I also value having the best possible experience. Companies can provide better and more refined experiences in many ways, often by leveraging their deep pockets.
I don’t mind paying for services that offer great value or save me time. The problem that most companies face, though, is that I expect them to respect both me and my privacy.
If we were to eliminate privacy infringements from proprietary software and make it open source, it would often become best-in-class within the open source community (e.g., Photoshop, Microsoft Office, etc.). Admittedly, this isn’t always the case, but all of this is to say that there can be arguments in favor of providing a service that respects the end user and their privacy, which warrants further discussion.
If it wasn’t Meta, I would almost be okay with this. If I genuinely believed that my privacy was being preserved, I think it’d be a fair trade.
I’ve liked Season 6 significantly better than everything else after season 2. It’s not nearly as good, but most of the lame BS isn’t there.
Yep, I think the last sentence was a sneak preview of the new voice. Although, that was explicitly communicated.
Something worth mentioning is that android auto will not work for graphene. I was so on board until that. It’s understandable why that’s the case though.
For relevance on how rare it is, there are only 43 known people of that have it. They have to donate their blood to themselves when they’re healthy every year, so they have it, if they need it.
Definitely watch After story next. It’s so worth it to be in the same mindset.
I love your breakdown of the piece. I really hope to see you around here more! You offer such interesting takes on this.
This is the kind of content we were missing here, thank you for this! I can’t wait to catch up on the show.
Yep, I think you’re right. I can probably bypass this with a link shortener, but it’s not worth selling out people’s data. Just copy and paste it if you’re running into issues.
That’s weird, here’s just the link without any formatting. Try this: https://wondermark.com/c/1k62/
For sea-lioning, here’s the comic the term originated from to explain it
Yeah, I’m aware. There were like 10 comments with no replies, so I thought it’d be fun to see what the Chatbot would say. I didn’t take its answer too seriously, but I knew people might be sensitive to the answer. It would have been unfair of me to not say that it was though. Now people can at least decide whether or not to discard the information by providing a “source”.
They’re probably asking how to do it on the PWA.
Yep, it’s how many are subscribed from your instance.
I think it might have fixed it. I think it auto updated before I realized, so I could check before posting. I will say, that there needs to be more margin, or padding added to the body of the post. It sits far too close to the title at the top.
It seems to be intermittent? I was having this issue with another user here.
Here’s what Chatgpt/google bard have to say:
The answer is: not necessarily. Most of the bacteria on our skin are adapted to living in wet environments, so they will not suffocate. However, some bacteria may be washed away or killed by the chlorine in the pool.
You need to be on a web browser, and at the instance you want to check. Scroll all the way to the bottom, and click instances. That example is from your home instance.

I believe you’re looking for a debate, where I was wanting discussion. Take care.
