Im not kidding one bit when I say, "We need open source Vehicle & Engine Manage System software and hardware!"

I want to be able to flash my Car's ECU with custom FOSS software. Yes, you can already replace the ECU with custom tuneing opetions that cost an arm and a leg. I want there to be Open Source Software and Hardware for consumer vehicles!

critics have warned early evidence from Australia shows the ban fails to keep children off social media platforms and risks pushing children into less regulated spaces on the internet.

NO FUCKING SHIT SHIRLOCK!

What these Boomer polititions fail to realise is that the under 16 year olds are far more tech literate than they are, and the younger generation has been conditioned to believe that irl socialisation is risky and online life/status is paramount. You can't just pull the rug from under these kids, you have to actually teach better behaviours that form allow kids to form better habbits and relationships with technology, and with other humans.

Anyone that has an anxiety attack from the thought of talking to someone face to face or over the phone needs an intervention if you ask me

not my desktop, but Alpine is generally the go to Linux distro these days for super low resource machines, hence why it's uses for docker containers. WM is Window Maker, also super light

I think there’s a legit use case for this if it’s done carefully. A lot of people aren’t on Reddit because they want to be, they’re there because their communities are. When those communities are small or niche, there’s often nothing comparable elsewhere (yet!).

A mirror community can act as a bridge. It gives people a way to start using Lemmy or PieFed without feeling like they’re completely missing out. Migration isn’t instant, it’s gradual, and without some level of content to start with, people won’t stick around long enough to contribute.

I agree that simply blasting communities with everything from Reddit with no limits is the wrong approach. But I do feel that a more targeted, slower mirror for a specific community can help people transition over time and eventually build something independent.

Fedora for desktop, just because gnome is a first class citizen and it just works. On my laptop's however it's either Alpine or Void musl.

Hey, first I'm hearing about Netbird. Sounds amazing. How complicated was it to migrate from taliscale to netbird? I might need to do the same

Yeah, it's nice in theory, but a bit idealistic. The majority of people are always going to prioritise self interest over all else
