@i0null You left out mySQL.
@phil_stevens @i0null MySQL has so much good alternatives and solid forks. Also it is not that bad itself.
@i0null let's hope you are right.
@i0null We had joy, we had fun, we ran Linux on a Sun …

Loops - Short videos. Your community. Your rules.

All the fun of short-form video, none of the corporate control. Loops is federated, open-source, and designed to give power back to creators and communities.

@gsevillano @stiv @i0null @loops see that's the thing with these awesome solutions, sometimes you don't discover them until some random person mentions it in some random post. Thnx, learned something new today!

Ok it took them nearly the full 48 hours they warned me it might take but I got the invite and the platform seems pretty nice. The iPhone app works pretty well too.

@i0null

Throw in the Murdoch's history of running a social media site and TikTok's downfall will be studied for years to come.

@i0null They also murdered MySQL.
@i0null There's a lot of doors off to the left
@i0null illumos, LibreOffice, and Loops
@judahhansen i've not heard of loops. what is that?

@i0null @judahhansen

Project Open Loop, or simply Open Loop.

Open Loop was a social software and collaboration platform developed by Sun Microsystems. The goal was to create an open-source competitor to products like Microsoft SharePoint and IBM Lotus Connections.

Sun Microsystems was acquired by Oracle in 2010. After the acquisition, Oracle discontinued many of Sun's open-source projects, and Open Loop was one of the casualties.

@tuban_muzuru @i0null I'm actually referring to the Fediverse Loops in this case
@i0null Perhaps referring to the, soon to be federated, Loops app. An alternative to the corporate owned TikTok. As the other things mention appear to be alternatives to the oracled software.

Loops by Pixelfed

Loops, explore and share short videos on the fediverse. Available soon!

@fluffgar anyone who thinks people will switch to this has not paid attention. It's like people thinking users would switch from Windows 7 to Linux (they picked W10) or from X to Mastodon (they picked Blsky).

But I guess YouTube shorts will explode...

It's a fediverse (intended, AP support is on the way) tiktok replacement that's in beta. Made by the pixelfed guy.

@i0null I have to deal with oracle in the f&b industry. Specifically micros. Worst company ever.
@i0null come on Oracle is not that bad. They ruined OpenOffice, but created the necessity of #LibreOffice, which is now thriving. They changed the policies around #Java so now everyone has to upgrade their code regularly and created the necessity for better testing, regular library updates, semantic versioning and continuous integration. With TikTok they could push the #Fediverse to new heights.
@prefec2 @i0null might generate some interest in integration of https://StickTock.com and @loops ;)

@i0null “why does _anyone_ trust Oracle these days?”

Giant, highly suspect government contracts.

“Oh, right.

@i0null And I thought RFKJR was just in charge of negligently killing citizens by withholding their meds. Oh wait, it says Oracle, never mind. 🤔
