@dave They were better than most have been, but two main issues I have with their performance.

1: On the fact checks, they let him complete his soundbite, then didn't force him to respond to the fact check. He wasn't debating. He was shooting footage for later use.

2: Every time Trump talked over them to take more time to respond they eventually shut up and let him. The one time Kamala tried they talked over her to ask Trump the next question.

That's because the terms are all interchangeable at this point. You can't say, "Because of *this* it's OSS, not FLOSS."

That's not my opinion, the FSFE says so. https://fsfe.org/freesoftware/comparison.en.html

@dave A note about the instant updates. As volume goes up, this can become annoying. Eg: I see something on one of the other social media platforms, then the page updates and I can't find it.

This is an explicit dark pattern for them, as they want me spending time in their app. I wouldn't want it to accidentally happen once Feedland starts getting traction.

@dave Love the new blogroll. It's got that "It's so obvious, why are we not already doing this?" feel to it.

One suggestion, and this might just be my expectation from some other tool or site, but when a site is expanded I would expect clicking on the snippet to open the source, as clicking on the timestamp does, instead of collapsing it. That would also make a much larger target for the pop-up preview.

@xenotrope @SwiftOnSecurity When you've got nothing better to do than sit around thinking, "What're we gunna do fer fun t'day?"

It sounds like you're interpreting "doesn't want to be associated with the organization" as "gives up copyright to his previous work". Is that accurate?
@dave This is the second article I've seen this week - and I'm not even looking - calling remote work a "perk". Someone is pushing this idea, trying to de-normalize remote work as a legitimate practice.
@davidtoddmccarty No one thinks that? Talk to some older people who only use their phones for phone calls and looking at pictures of their grandkids. That's all they know how to use.

@aelman @pwinn @palafo @davidtoddmccarty @jaredwhite Ask ten non-tech-savvy friends if Facebook is the internet. Some will think it is, just like some people thought AOL was. They came at it from different directions: AOL had lots of proprietary content through their custom UI but also allowed you access to the internet, Facebook has mostly exclusive content (only viewable when logged in) but available via a browser.

In both cases, you needed to understand there was more to the internet.
