Could be someone excited to add content to peertube, which desperately needs it.

If you’re looking for a free VPN, I’ve had good experiences with https://riseup.net/en/vpn

I love Filelight. Whoever came up with it is brilliant.

Why do you agree with their censorship and lying?

GPL does not restrict you from selling the software

Oh god, we know.

Practically speaking though, if anyone can redistribute it for free then it’s available for free.

So LTS isn’t really LTS.

Glad I switched to Debian.

However, Ubuntu started a service called Ubuntu Pro / ESM that provides updates for packages in universe.

Since it’s all free software, what gives Ubuntu the privilege to restrict these updates behind paywalls and signups?

Pro is also free for personal use on up to 5 machines, so there’s no reason not to enable it.

Fuck that bullshit. We shouldn’t be encouraging or enabling this behavior at all.

It sure seems that way. Their “extended security maintenance” spam says that there are security updates that are only available if you “subscribe”.

I asked the Linux community about this, and didn’t get a straight answer (not surprised.)

It was enough for me to switch to Debian, though. There’s no excuse for updates to be locked behind paywalls or sign-ups in the free software ecosystem.

Aliasing anything always seems like an unnecessary abstraction in just about every instance.

Glad I don’t come across it or much other unnecessary stuff in my work.

That’s an anti-pattern if I’ve ever heard of one.

If they’re not happy, they can always go somewhere else.

You can’t please everyone.

Not him, but it makes sense to avoid the kinds of people that only have “experience in theory.”

Essentially, those who think they know something because they did something else.

Horrible idea. Let people share what they want and give the means for individuals to hide content they don’t want to see.

We shouldn’t be deciding for other people what they are allowed to see.

The next generation of internet users should really look into the Streisand Effect. You’re only going to drive more people away from your cause when you try to control what they get to say and what they’re allowed to see.

I’m already abandoning the left as quickly as possible because I’m sick of yall’s censorship and propaganda tactics; this is just another one of them.

For me it’s independent or bust. You can thank all the brow-beaters, tantrum-throwers, useful idiots, and mod-abusers for why I’m no longer loyal to their side. These kids need to grow up if they want more adults to take them seriously.

Hard disagree. Just like when people in the fediverse tried to block using certain words across the entire medium, this is going to cause more harm than good to appease people who can’t think for themselves.

I swear, the brow-beating crowd really has had free reign these past few years. It’s time to rein them back in and watch them kick and scream like the tantrum-throwing children they really are.
