@shansterable Truer words were never spoken... I took issue with the scoop for our container of Oxiclean, as the markings aren't visible when holding the scoop with my left hand. All I got out of it was a coupon for our next purchase of Oxiclean.

@EposVox Are you about to make a series of RAID arrays out of USB flash drives? Had a friend build a small array from a series of 5 USB floppy drives, just because he could... And swapped out the disks just to watch it rebuild on floppies.
@fsf How does a copyright assignment defend the GPL? When you have a greater diversity of authors, it makes it more difficult to change a license away from a GPL or free software license to something more proprietary. Can you help me understand your position more clearly?
@jensscholz I think I might uninstall the Twitter app from my phone at the start of the new year; I haven't accessed it in months. The only use I would have of it for now is to access "news" when something large happens. Since I have to log in to even see any tweets, I just don't go there first anymore.
@xgqt There would be a fair bit of stuff that would break if you made that move. While $HOME is defined in /etc/passwd, there are plenty of dotfiles which don't look to /etc/passwd or $HOME to determine the home directory.
If you choose to move it for reasons, I would also symlink the old location. This would cause anything trying to access the old location to cleanly see the new location. That being said, you would also want to review what is using the old location and clean it up.
@antoniusmisfit @matt I have done this, and I landed on Navidrome, as it gives me an easy web-based playback option as well as quality integration with clients which implement the Subsonic API.
@endDRM The only item I see missing from here is a short section regarding ways to play back those audio tracks. I self-host an instance of Navidrome inside my home network (which is available via my private self-hosted VPN) on a Linux system. This allows me to have a very Spotify-like experience via a web browser or use a Subsonic-API-compatible client on my phone or desktop for a mobile or native experience.
@adamconover I commented on the Youtube video after watching it. I think Mastodon is very important to the conversation, but not precisely because it is open-source. Being open-source allows for the ultimate killer feature of Mastodon and the ActivityPub protocol, interoperability.
We have email services which run wildly different frontends and backends, and anyone with an email address can generally communicate with anyone else with an email address.
I agree with your premises that big tech should be broken up/prevented from owning so much of the infrastructure of the Internet; I also agree that the federal government should support, financially, a open, extensible standard for this sort of "town hall" microblogging that Twitter was historically good at providing. That protocol and supporting reference implementations should be open-source and free software for all the reasons you shared in your video.
Free Software FoundationWhy GPL? "Using the GNU GPL will require that all the released improved versions be free software. This means you can avoid the risk of having to compete with a proprietary modified version of your own work." More at https://u.fsf.org/3kr #GNUGPLFAQ
