This just reminds me of my first experience with Linux in the late 90’s. Yes they had installers that got the base system working, but then you had to compile so much.

Currently listening to the first book.

Fuck our parents and grandparents. They should be lining up to throw themselves off a cliff for this rat turd.

We’d do like the Vatican and chisel off the genitals off all the statues. Next it will be a Christian version of a burka.

Isn’t that somewhat the point of the federated system? Prevent censorship? Enable various points of view to have a platform? It’s somewhat up to the moderators of the groups and the community as a whole to determine what information is allowed on their local platforms.

But has perhaps more than I would like tv time. But we are in there as a family. It’s very difficult in todays world with so much individual experience coming from a device.

Game recognizes game.

I’m sure most corporations have agreements that prevent M$ from using this. Or M$ has to host all of its data gathering on azure government.

Heading right for Soviet resource scarcity.
