Lol. My favourite exchange on lemmy so far!

Me as a kid, having just learned english, listening to Janis Joplin: “What the fuck is a mercy dispense!?”

there’s a pill for that

Why won’t women go out with me? My car’s not nice enough, that must be it…

nice try, google-lawyer.

Companies should be held accountable for bullshit like that.

My idea goes like this: In order to be able to sell some device you need to deposit its source code and the sources for all updates with the proper authorities.

If you then don’t provide updates maintaining a) security and b) functionality of said device, because for example you go bankrupt, financially, or like in this very case morally, all of those sources are released and from then on are open source.

Put some windex tasmota on it

While we can’t unasshole everyone we can start ticketing ppl who park outside the lines. In most cities there’s traffic wardens anyways, so that should be cheaper than installing bumpers on every parking spot.

It’s a very emotional thing for many of us. I’ve beed using reddit on sync exclusively, I just couldn’t be arsed to use the web version any more.

So when they killed third party apps, reddit was dead to me. Not only because of the terrible user experience of the web site and official app, but mostly because of the way they treated the developers after all those years.

After the lemmy version came out, I opened it up and everything was back to normal (except for the missing content).

I’m really hoping that the devs of other apps succeed in the transition as well and they manage to get a good portion of their users to join as well.

As for the FOSS fundamentalists: I really don’t get it. I’ve worked on open source projects in the past, when I felt I could contribute. I don’t get all the hate being directed towards sync though. You like your FOSS-app? Great! I prefer sync and I’m happy to support the author.

Just checked: oldest account i still have is 16 years old.
