You can now find me at @RL\_Dane ({AT}rl\_dane{AT}alpha.polymaths.social)

I love the #fosstodon community and have nothing bad to say about it, the admins, or the mods.

I just wanted to try out that platform and can't resist the 5000 character post limits. 🤣

I'll be keeping this account indefinitely.

Long live FOSS \<3

How do you guys remember the early days of the internet? What do you miss about it?

    Usenet, random FTP sites, and wonderful (but slow) Archie. :)

    I think there was a Jughead and Veronica, too, but I never knew what those were for.

    IBM: We poured money and resources into Linux before 99% of the business world had even heard of it. We helped make it great. Why shouldn't we require a return on that investment?

    PLEASE UNDERSTAND, I think IBM/RH is bone-headed as heck and are now inexcusable violators of the GPL, and other licenses.

    I knew they were going to *break* RH and make it something abominable.

    But they *were* there at the very beginning of the 2000s, promoting Linux heavily. (Not altruistically, of course)

    I'm trying to use @libretube to keep @newpipe @peertube -only, but the default instances I've tried so far are pretty slow 🥺

    You can "direct" message me if you don't want it to be shared.
