Didn't Trump love to talk about that Alzheimers/Dementia-Test he once took and how well he performed and remembered that 5 things they asked him to remember? This sounds like a joke I already heard. Maybe we can look up the dislike ratio from back then.

Hehe, I think it's more the Windows people who spread that urban legend. While I completely agree with you, I didn't learn anything new here 😉

  • make-or-break (adj.)
  • all or nothing (phrase)

To me perfect is the enemy of good is: you don't arrive at good, because you set unrealistic goals for example. But theoretically you all want to go in the same direction.

All or nothing is taking chances, gambling. It's a different category. It doesn't have to do anything with one solution being good or bad. It's saying I want that, no compromises. Like if you say 'I want to go to Disneyland or I'm not coming with you.' There's not necessarily anything good or perfect or bad in it. With political parties it's often they have to show their voters they're determined and not taking shit. So they say 'we're not compromising'. And that way you have a clear winner and loser. Can be beneficial or detrimental to a goal. The motivation could be entirely different. But both things can also be at play at the same time.

Thank you. A follow-up question: You sound like most things have to be done by full-time developers. Is there a healthy open-source community around Lemmy development? Do people submit enough pull-requests to fix bugs? Do people from the community contribute a substancial amount? features?

If it's since then you might be affected by something else, too. But there definitely is the federation bug since version 0.19.0 (early December). So no matter what you do, until the developers fix this, you currently won't be able to see all the posts/comments.

We like it that way. And he is a hurensohn.

I'm not a hardcore capitalist. Also i can't watch all the ads the corporations would like to feed me every day. So i'm fine with using an adblocker. Don't give stuff out for free on the internet if you don't like this. But since you ask: I really don't like that strategy to commercialize everything, to finance everything by selling ads and user data...

Yes. And i'm always stunned by how many people buy loads of bottled water at the Getränkemarkt. Just drink it from the tap or get one of those machines that make sparkling water if you like that?! There is no chlorine in ordinary german water and it tastes just fine.

I'm not sure they are. I bet lots of them use Linux servers, Solr, several open source databases and so on. I think it's mostly the small and medium companies who are afraid of missing support and stuff.

The big companies just don't like selling open source to their customers. Or getting them too close to the concept of it.

Don't start with the most complicated distro and then fail.

I think they're trying to get rid of rfd party apps. It's more 'die or die' for them.
