Also the genocide denial
Yup. That's what people generally do. If you get custom special domains you'll use it for new stuff and the old stuff will continue on old patterns
A lot of their URIs predate .int
and they don't want to break those links
They're insecure and hate the real version of themselves is my interpretation. Instead of confronting that and moving forward with work to become a better person they instead put up a facade, often justifying the harm they do to the people who believe in the facade by convincing themselves that these facades are common to all people, and everyone is fake
How many times did Trump show his true colors before getting banned? Twitter's moderation policies were better pre-Musk but they were far FAR from acceptable.
I view the bigger issue as Meta is hostile towards humanity's privacy and freedom, and Mastodon leadership view Meta joining the Fediverse as an unqualified win. Meanwhile, I don't think Meta is interested in ActivityPub as a protocol to make Instagram Threads more appealing, I think they're overall much more interested in what data the can gain, and sell, analyzing the interactions between their own user pool and the rest of the fediverse that user pool interacts with.
Session has made some insecure solution surrounding important design elements like forward secrecy
Put simply: yes
The typing scheme is highly innovative and the code they used to do it is proprietary so its a little hard to get started replicating. Further, they have a design patent that means you need permission from the company and licensing to replicate that action. The way they do this licensing and permission means its FAR easier to get that permission and include the proprietary binary blob than to reinvent the mechanism. I'm sure there are extreme radical FOSS-heads interested in doing this with code they're working on, but any big project that wants to create a legitimate daily driver keyboard is going to be more focused on other problems surrounding ethical predictive text and the precision of screen taps. Like this is more a question of what problems are worth solving than anything. There's plenty of hard problems in the mobile keyboard space that don't involve lawyers, especially when getting access to the Swype lib to embed in keebs has thus far been pretty trivial and that lib has been found to be not gnarly in audits.
Personally I do have worry about Swype doing a rugpull with this licensing to keyboards that are using it, since that's one of the paths of enshittification/rot-econony, but I also wouldn't choose not to use a keyboard without swipe gestures (in fact my current keyboard doesn't have them because I can type fine enough without them and its one less thing to install or worry about)
Short answer: No
Long answer: Look into the phrase "rot economy." Basically, enshitification starts MUCH earlier in the process than an IPO or a major buy out. It happens because our financial markets value growth, not financial gain. We always here about how companies only worry about the bottom line, but they don't, actually. They care about demonstrating growth. How do you make growth happen while not worrying about the bottom line? Easy! Operate at a loss on purpose! That way you can capture more of the market in a fiscal year, and then the next year adjust your prices a little bit and operate at slightly less loss and show investors you've grown. Those adjustments? That's enshitification. It all happens from the very first moment when you decide, "We have to capture the market." That's not the IPO. That's the very founding of a business.
We need to instead value sustainable businesses. Ones that have higher revenues than losses. And you'll notice something VERY interesting about sustainable businesses: They don't do MASSIVE 3rd quarter layoffs literally every year. Why? Because they don't have to show the investors that they've made a profit, they just need to show they captured more market and then reduced costs
Yeah I'd be more likely to label dark souls as a 3d metroidvania than as an ARPG. Yeah, it has RPG elements, but what AAA game doesn't?
Oh good! I was really hoping big tech could find ways to make it easier for me to give in to my crippling phone addiction
My thing was I spent just as much time troubleshooting windows as I do Linux. That said I've been on Linux for ages so a lot of the issues I ran into on windows were frustrations with knowing how easy it would have been to resolve technical issues in Linux. The right path for you will be unique to you. I'd probably recommend starting out by just having a live media system you use to poke around with as you tinker on a side project. Maybe even grab a raspberry pi to Futz around on
