What, you don't have a personal archive of your youtube favorites?
Better start the backup now?

Since we're all here, any chance we can make a small push in the direction of having a standardized "style"/"theme" file that we can plug into the different systems?
@BaardFigur My dude, I understand and celebrate the memes, but please understand that linux first time using is a sensitve period in people's lives and the reach of modern social media means there is some x% of users who will have a bad time, because they saw that meme and took it seriously.
It's a statistical guarantee.
@wgs I really hope you're trolling. Don't do that.
Yes, this is expected and means the regular safeties are working. Don't turn those off please.
Generally, don't just copy paste things you find online.
Something else to be aware of and stay away from is "rm -rf /" which will delete everything on your computer, including your operating system. Naturally this will crash the computer and you will not be able to start it again.
(You should be able to boot from a usb stick though.)
@HKayn This may sound cold hearted and I swear I'm not:
There is no obligation for the world in general to pay someone for open source software. (right now)
Everyone should think long hard about writing software and donating time and effort because of this.
I don't like this state of things, I would prefer some kind of "general usefulness" tax financed grant thing.

Moves like this are a bit... strange? It was on github. There are 1.8k forks, with intact LGPL. What is happening here? Is their dev work worth 99$/year ? Not saying people don't deserve to get paid for their work. I'm just not seeing the business case for this.
Languages are just tools, so let's take the shortcut to the xkcd about editors 😁
"One option to avoid this is to self-host, but then you’ll be identifiable via your domain and have to maintain a server."
Makes it a non issue.
It's free as in freedom not as in free beer and that's that.
Jitsi doesn't have to offer free service and they particularly don't have to provide anonymity.
The same is true for the fediverse, since the admins have info that could help identify users. That has it's uses too.
@oshitwaddup @yogthos can't find the source anymore but I saw a video that basically said "the closing of twitter was so chaotic you can claim whatever you want, they can't check whether you are lying"
So if you are already on board with lying your resume... That? Former "senior backend engineer 5years"?
Obviously don't put stuff they can just check, like claiming skills they can just test you for.
Also maybe not lead positions those people might be too famous.
