I'm missing the rage over the switch. I like GNOME.

Any intelligence agency who legitimately thought that app was ever secure after simple OSINT techniques reveal otherwise needs to be overhauled from the top down.

Scientologists Ask Federal Government to Restrict Right to Repair ( www.404media.co )

The organization that represents Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard’s works has petitioned the U.S. government to restrict the right to repair a religious artifact called an E-Meter.

If the Church owns all of them then what's the big deal? Don't mess with someone else's property.

According to Eric Stephen Raymond, open source is creating more jobs than it destroys. Furthermore, how many software companies have fallen due to an open source competitor?

Couldn't agree more. As we age it's important that we take a more proactive approach towards caring for our well-being. It's an investment in our respective future quality of life.

What I think kbin needs to do to survive, and why I think it has a better chance than any other Reddit alternative I've seen yet. ( kbin.social )

I’m a Reddit refugee who was on that platform for 10+ years. I saw not just a tremendous amount of controversies, but attempts at introducing alternatives to Reddit during all of them.

Am I missing something? My not-yet-updated Infinity for Android app still loads Reddit.

Do You Think There Would Have Been a Large Protest if Steve Huffman Just Said We're Charging to Use the API to Increase Revenue?

I've been a long time Redditor and an Apollo user for about a year. I even paid for it. The main draw for me was the lack of advertising. In the back of my head I kept thinking that it couldn't last. Reddit is losing revenue from the lack of advertising views. It didn't...

A few years ago when I could afford it I bought a lot of Reddit coins to award posts. At the end of the day, this is the thanks I get.
