oh, I see, so this is the European version of https://www.techdirt.com/2024/10/09/a-whole-bunch-of-states-file-garbage-grandstanding-lawsuits-against-tiktok-with-the-main-complaint-being-kids-like-it/ (except France doesn’t have a First Amendment so it is worse)

I wonder whether we will ever achieve a society in which we trust everyone, including young people, to know what’s good for them and what not by themselves.

Until then I can only read https://www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence and cry about how that has turned out.

That happens relatively rarely. Remember the protests in recent years in Thailand, Hong Kong, Iran? They went exactly nowhere.

Yeah, this is true elsewhere too. Here in Austria, “Graz” is a region that contains most of the important parts of Styria (Steiermark), and “Steiermark” is one that contains mostly mountainous parts of what’s now Styria plus most of Carinthia.

KDE Plasma because I can make it look, feel and work mostly like Windows. I have to use Windows at work and don’t want to have to think too hard about differences between computers I use at work vs. at home.

Can be either, neither is technically impossible. As another comment said, you can try for yourself what still works when your phone isn’t connected to the Internet.

The more time passes, the more information can already be found on the web (including forum threads) and the less need there is to post new threads to these kinds of forums.

We’ll, we’ll, we’ll, if it isn’t autocorrect

People age. You don’t look the same as in 2010 either, I know that without having any idea what you look like.

I can’t blame people given how many parts of the Internet now engage in automated or semi-automated intransparent censorship. Can’t have the general public communicating freely with each other, they might coordinate a revolution or something. So far I trust the fediverse to be relatively immune from that though.

Oppression of young people is the only one that seems to get worse over time

Why did you, why would you, ever have work email and Teams on your phone in the first place?

https://www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence 🙁🙁😭😡

I dislike the whole concept of “social media” in the Facebook sense.

I think the ideal form of “social media”, which was also popular in 2004, was the web forum. I want that back, not something where I have to follow people, but something where I can meet and find people with common interests and discuss those interests with them.

Apache isn’t copyleft, not sure why you thought it was

To a different license that, objectively, is not free and open source.

I just checked and there doesn’t seem to be a federated “portugalcykablyat” community yet. 🙁

problem is I have no idea which of these communities is “best”, I do not pay enough attention to things going on behind the scenes to have any knowledge of that.

I posted it to 8 communities because there are 8 communities I am aware of where this on-topic. Some people might be subscribed to only a subset of them. This is the natural consequence of the fediverse enabling us to have more than one community for discussing the same topic.

Yeah just 1096 left for a round number
