I use Arch based distros btw.
Imo the bcachefs drama is the fault of those who let the definitely not ready file system into the kernel builds. The developer is just making a file system and major updates that break stuff are to be expected on the current stage of development.
Unix was paid (at least for source code), Linux was free and Mac was easy to use. Any questions?
Why are they focusing on privacy now though? It’s always been private.
Way to go, Smith!
The “right to preserve fertility” is kind of a weird and wrong reason here but the intention and the implementation are great so still good enough. Letting minors make decisions like that is crazy and stupid. I’d say the legal age of adulthood (18 in most countries) is not big enough nowadays for this particular kind of decisions but it’s a completely different story.
I suppose it has to do with the widespread belief that admins of an instance can be prosecuted for illegal text and imagery posted by their users.
I highly disagree with that. Admins of commercial platforms technically have higher risks due to higher attention from the government and sometimes more legal restrictions (e. g. gatekeepers). Also the FOSS community is not necessarily known for compliance but rather the opposite. I believe it’s more about the personalities of the admins and the nature of the community itself, especially since many of the social platforms in question are less serious of projects than enormous businesses which leads to the increased feel of freedom and confidence amongst the developers and admins (makes them feel like they can be themselves and do whatever they want).
Everything else seems like points I completely agree with.
I think it’s because more cutting-edge options are not anywhere near as easy to set up and use.
