Yeah the Insta360 desktop app runs through WINE just fine!

I hear ya!

Microsoft is subject to US authority because they’re a US-based business. Meaning the gov can fine them or take away their business license or demand access to information they have stored, or any number of other things that Linux is simply not subject to, because they’re not a business and don’t store any user data at all.

You skipped my question: How exactly are the US-based stewards of Linux development subject to US authority?

How are they?

Linux has developers from all sorts of countries. But then, so do Windows and macOS.

Microsoft and Apple are subject to US authority. Linux is not.

You think Linux is an American product?

Sure did, thanks: https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogle/comments/1nif9qu/linux_phones_are_more_important_now_than_ever/

I signed it with an upvote. You’re welcome.

Welcome to the Threadiverse

I was wondering why I was receiving a bunch of late replies…

It’s not negligible

I don’t like GitHub either but the large userbase ensures increased attention, which means more adoption, which means more contributors. That’s why devs are always begging for “stars”.

Good thing that’s not the discussion we were having then.

I have no interest in “gotcha moments”. Just having a discussion about the virtues of streaming music platforms vs. buying.

If you don’t pay for it then you are pirating, which is a whole other discussion.

Blogs are already “social” by nature (comments)

Most Blogs require you to create an account and login to your specific blog. I ain’t doin that. But if it appears in my feed on my account that I control, I might throw in my $0.02, which will improve engagement on your blog.

In practice, ActivityPub’s distributive nature replicates content across a multitude of servers (every server where someone follows the blog), which, while not catastrophic here, is at least inefficient.

I mean, that’s kinda the point though, also. Any federated product will do the same.

Given that — and the fact that few people follow and almost nobody interacts via ActivityPub — I’ve been considering removing Manual from the fediverse for several months.

I mean, that’s fair, but also, what is it costing you to keep it? You’re greatly improving visibility of your blog.

What evidence is that, jerkface? What does any of this have to do with my ego?

LOL your suggestion is that they said they’re subscribed to various producers but they don’t listen to them? Now that’s pedantic.

I have to pay someone 🤷 at least legally, anyway
