@thibaultamartin @nixos_org Can't help but having "tech epiphany" remind me of xkcd 198.

@beli3ver I am using uAdBlock! Happy to hear you're still working with it.

I second that a simplified set up would be nice - I felt like there was a lot of guesswork involved when I wanted to set it up as a normal ad blocker, and I have no idea what the lists I chose really are.

Other than that it's working well for me, and I'm very happy. :)

@gnome the Gnome team can't get enough praise for this launch. I haven't been this excited for a software release since I was a teenager.

Amazing work by both the software, design, and marketing teams.

Will donate :)

@graf @PINE64 this is pretty standard, they're just unusually clear about it.

And it's not a shit attitude. They offer a very cheap product to the community, and are telling you up front not to buy it if three dead pixels is a show stopper for you. A more shit attitude would be only tell customers who complain after their purchase, which is the traditional way of doing it.

One example: I use RStudio every day for work, which is fully open source and developed by a company seeking to make a profit.

Recently I got around to making web applications using R, made easy by the people at RStudio. Again, everything is open source.

However, running a server is a lot of work, and something I couldn't really do in the context of my job even if I learned how to. So we instead pay RStudio an annual fee to host the application I built, and we are of course happy to pay. :)

@controlfreak@mastodon.art @omgubuntu probably worth mentioning that Spotify continually fails to make a profit as well. They're not doing this to increase their profits - they're doing it not to go bankrupt.

Anyways, great app! Works perfectly. :)

@Alexmitter @purism it's not super special, but you can read about their data policies here:
https://www.met.no/en/free-meteorological-data

In short they believe in sharing data, use open source when possible, and all in all just offer a great service. And they since they're public and tax funded there's little reason to worry about bad intentions, unless you're generally mistrusting of state employed meteorologists.

That said, it's not that special - it's one of the most commonly used APIs in open source software.

@NeoTheThird I love how this is literally Bezos urging his exploited warehouse workers to seize the means of production.

He's absolutely right - they can take control, and they should take control. Not so sure he'll be as progressive in encourage them to unionize though.
