Linus has entered the chat

I mean, it kinda is to me, the base meme image isn’t of them being in space or doing any of the “tourism” parts, but of them being “so grateful to be on the ground” because they couldn’t “handle it”

It’s never going to be the year of the Linux phone until there’s one that actually has specs to do the things the majority of people want

Thus far, all the Linux phones I’ve seen had laughable specs. There’s the Liberux NEXX, but it’s still at the concept stage

Piefed has gone from being rarely if ever even mentioned at all to, in just the last few days, being mentioned hundreds if not thousands of times a day in threads on virtually any topic, makes me highly suspicious.

You make interesting points, but for this specific thing, it almost certainly has to do with the .ee shutdown which was announced just a few days ago, apparently PieFed has fantastic comm transfer tooling so that’s why it’s probably been exploding in discussions since .ee has a number of large comms that are trying to figure out their next steps

I crossposted it to !dota2@lemmy.world

Because of .ml comms boycott

Prob a comm in the line of !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works , but expanded beyond just Tankies/Genocide deniers. Somewhere for people to post collected documentation, screenshots, modlog entries etc. and collaboration

but just handing it over isn’t really appropriate.

Well I would hope, if they were open to it, they would have internal discussions with the main mods and maybe some sort of vote amongst their user base and/or giving those who’d rather not time to delete their data before anything changes hands

Is transferring it to someone else in the cards? I have an LLC intended for my own future instance plans, but I’d be more than happy to take over .ee under it to prevent the loss of another good Lemmy-verse instance

Fuck wasps though

OpenAI’s malfeasance with regard to energy usage, data theft,

I mean that’s why I call them silly folks, that’s all still attributable to that corporate greed we all hate, but I’ve also seen them shit on research work and papers just because “AI” Soo yea lol

Aside from the few people on Lemmy who are entirely anti-AI

Those are silly folks lmao

most people just don’t want AI jammed willy-nilly into places where it doesn’t belong to do things poorly that it’s not equipped to do.

Exactly, fuck corporate greed!

Here’s a recap post from a few weeks ago

I wish there was Lemmy gold for these kinds of comments, so uh take this cookie instead: 🍪

I’m trying! Lmao

We get it, you hate Lemmy as a platform.

I have been so very clear on this being about .ml and the admins in charge of it that it’s obvious you’re just posting a straw man.

You try so hard to make it less appealing by splitting discussions on posts by reposting stuff needlessly.

Lol, no: https://lemmy.world/comment/16087942

Then you spearhead some movement to try to get people to not donate to Lemmy development at all, making it harder for these people who are trying to make Lemmy their life’s work to be able to even survive.

Because they use the .ml instance and it’s influence as being associated as the “Official Dev Instance” to push their Tankie “ideology”, to include spreading dangerous misinformation and propaganda

They could solve it almost overnight by turning over .ml to a new as fair and unbiased as possible admin team. As was also brought up in those donations threads. In fact to paraphrase another user: “Devs should do dev work and not mod work and admins/mods should do mod work and not dev work”.

As was brought up in those threads, but it’s simply not good enough, it’s just paying for .ml with extra steps (e.g. through their pay/salary rather than directly funding hosting costs)

Oh yea I started donating all right…to PieFed (I don’t even have a PF account), .world and .cafe.

I won’t be giving a penny to them until I see some major changes in regards to .ml as so many people called for on every other version of the donation thread that wasn’t .ml

The developers are openly communist

They are openly authoritarian “communists”, you don’t need to simp for China, Russia or NK to be a communist. But they do and they leverage the .ml Instance to do so. This is the point of contention for most (including myself) donating to them, and it was brought up in those threads numerous times. If they put in place a new admin team that was as unbiased and fair as possible, they would massively increase in donations. They won’t though because they know exactly what they’re doing with .ml to further their personal political ideology.

To paraphrase one user on one of those threads “Devs should do dev work and not mod work, admins/mods should do admin/mod work and not dev work”.

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.
