  • In the end it will be all about federating with the right communities and not about federating everyone anymore.

    A lot of people who are defending “federate everyone” do it in the name of “fear of missing” and want the numbers at all cost. They are borderline addict to infinite content, but they are a danger to quality posting. You cannot mass post AND care about the quality of what you post. It takes time to find a good article to post.

    Even here we will soon read about what Elon Musk had for breakfast and will post it in “tech”. Some people want content, whatever the quality of what they read, even the title is enough for them. And sadly the current vote system works in their favor.

    My guess is many of us will leave kbin for a more tight, content focused community. Also better tools will come up anyway.





  • It’s totally useless as long as you don’t shut down plants that are running on coal. Otherwise it’s just adding up with other sources of CO2.

    Google is still closely associated with California to many people (and to a lesser degree New York), but it’s determined to change that reputation. The company is launching a $13 billion expansion in 2019 that will give it a total US footprint of 24 states, including “major expansions” in 14 states. The growth includes its first data center in Nevada, a new office in Georgia, and multi-facility expansions in places like Texas and Virginia. This is on top of known projects like its future New York City campus.

    This plant is used to power up an expansion of google, which means it’s just adding up CO2 to what we already emit. It’s creating a fake impression that we are reducing our carbon footprint.

    There is a simple solution: shut down the datacenter. No more power needed, no more water needed. The problem is not about CO2, it’s about us refusing to let go our previous way of life.

    And if you refuse this solution ask yourself why.







  • First, most of the people I saw discussing it support flatpak, not packages. They support flatpak like they support a football team. example here: “Mostly because they’re uneducated fools”.

    It’s all about reputation. There are people I trust, like Steam and there are perfect strangers from the internet. Who do you trust the most between “debian VS mastakilla_51”?

    Wake me up when a flatpak app is thought with clear boundaries and doesn’t just request access to my whole home directory. Until then I much prefer to have a team of packager maintaining a reputation, dedicated to their job and producing fine, reliable apps.

    The Audacity fiasco was a perfect example of that. The apps was bought by someone, then telemetry was introduced into the flatpak and no one saw it. Instead, the distro maintainers noticed it and deactivated the telemetry. This is how we saw the thing.

    Be very careful of what you lose when you say goodbye to distro packages, don’t take it for granted. If you walk the flatpak way you will have access to a mountain of unverified software built by a random person of the internet having access to your full homedir. It’s like installing freewares on Windows, you end up with a lot of crap on your computer. A packages repo is not like freewares for Windows.

    Yes, I know, you think flatpaks come with sandboxing. It does not, because most of these packages use /home as the sandbox anyway and people click yes. Pick some flatpaks and see the access level their require. Most of the time it’s /home. This is a terrible trend and I wished more of the flatpak supporters mentioned it when they praise the tool. Some people don’t care. I do.

    Cryptocurrency does nothing to help you since it gives a very strong incentive to criminal to scan your homedir. Scammers will use shiny software, flatpak it, add their “secret sauce” and publish it. If you had to install a cryptowallet, would you install the one from the debian repo of the one from mastakilla_51?

    Until this whole jungle is sorted out: thanks, but no thanks.



  • I see that you also downvoted my post about veganism and the cost of breeding cattle in term of water. I see a pattern there.

    You listed the same example several times, in quotes

    What are you talking about? It’s the same article about the rio grande. It’s not supposed to be multiple examples.

    not sourced links

    Paste it in any search engine, it’s the first result.

    fear mongering on the level of a conspiracy theorist

    I see your true colors now.

    Your advice of moving to the mountains, taken en masse, would just result in cities existing there…with the same source of water.

    Ridiculous, I’m not talking to the masses.

    You brought nothing to the table, you saw a post about veganism and then you went full conspiracy theorist mode. Instead of discussing the case you just went for the downvote button. I’m not wasting more time with you.
