I read somewhere they’d be releasing the list of witnesses on July 20th

I’m scared of clowns

DiWhy?

Grilled cheese - American cheese is the only way i enjoy a grilled cheese. Also, Black Forest ham and American cheese sandwich with lettuce tomato and mayo on a baguette or other real tasting bread.

I have always lurked Reddit, I have never made an account. With Lemmy, I contribute instead of lurk as I feel I have a part to play in it’s early growth for it to succeed. But that being said, I occasionally check the front page and a few specific subreddits but not quite as frequently since I joined Lemmy.

Oh, and when I do, I use LibReddit to view reddit, so nothing even official.

I contribute where I can, nothing significant.

However, nothing beats Apple maps IMO. I have an iPhone which I hotspot data to and basically only use it as a GPS when driving. I can’t use my Android device as I prefer using Apple CarPlay and GrapheneOS does not support Android Auto.

I use Magic Earth or OSMand when I don’t have my iPhone with me.

Favorite? Hm… I would have to say Codeigniter (PHP framework) but I love these projects as well: Linux/GNU, VLC, LibreOffice, qBittorrent, VSCodium, Filezilla, GIMP, Firefox, Wireguard, GrapheneOS, Matrix, F-Droid.

If I won the lottery I’d donate to these projects or their respective foundations.

Great, more bots… Did they fix the horrible bot problem? I haven’t played in 6+ months due to this.

There’s a reason big tech companies are worth hundreds of billions of dollars yet most of their users have not paid a dime. So yes, data is valuable.

Data is very valuable. Google shows advertisements like they’re listening to people’s conversations, except they aren’t. Their data profiles and predictions are so good they know what you want to buy before you even know you want to buy it.

Search the Cambridge Analytica scandal… I am not grossly over estimating anything.

AI training and data mining. The value of data has surpassed the value of oil long ago. The world’s most valuable resource is no longer oil.

That is exactly why I choose to use FOSS including Linux. As much as I want to standby this principle, I have come to a breaking point after dealing with its issues, issues we have all experienced. I believe it is hands down the best choice for server use, but for work and productivity, I need something more matured that is going to work out of the box. I am glad that the community here took this criticism well but I think it’s important to discuss and understand that there are still some strides to be made. But at the end of the day, I’m just some guy ranting and who knows, maybe I’ll be installing a Linux distro after a month of using Mac OS.
