• Why social platforms should work more like email. Email is a stable, decentralized technology that spurs interoperability and competition, presenting a model for other internet technologies.

  Yes, were it not for the "email is great" part I think I would agree with the sentiment of the article. In fact the idea of having intercompatible social network already exists, I think it is called a federated social network, see https://feneas.org/. The idea hasn't really taken off yet because there is more to social media than just data exchange (think about moderation etc...), but I don't believe Facebook and... Source: almost 3 years ago

• As of Augest 2021 what is in your opinion the best reddit alternative and why? what are it's best qualities?

  It's what happened to reddit, having the open source code for reddit didn't really help once they closed it. You could still replace the URL with a proprietary codebase or rewrite some of the code before re-licensing so it's not bullet proof. The best defense I can think off is having it be hosted by some volunteer led non profit (something like feneas ) so it won't get sold off. Source: almost 3 years ago

• I am hosting free, open-source, privacy respecting web services! (Searx, Invidious, Matrix, etc)

  I think it would be better to collaborate with some existing organisations like disroot or feneas, having a organisation with multiple maintainers is useful if someone decides to quit (which is normal, any contribution is great). So the instance does not go down. Existing organisations are also more well known. Source: about 3 years ago

• Penguin, Chicken or Duck? (Eros, OC, Microsoft Bing AI Generated)

  Arch is a popular Linux distribution(basically an os). Him saying that he uses arch is basically a joke that arch Linux users will always mention that they use the distro. (Also a penguin is also the Linux mascot). Source: 6 months ago

• Arch Linux bugtracker migration to Gitlab completed

  Arch sends distribution news every week or so, usually in one or two paragraphs. https://archlinux.org/ I've followed the gitlab migration and every package and distribution change that warranted community notification for more than a decade. It's such an empowering feeling to have tracked all the changes to the distribution over a decade. The Arch maintainer culture has managed to provide consistent high quality... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

  When searching for something just add Arch Linux to the and follow official archlinux.org and use duckduckgo.com for better results. You will get amazed how good arch wiki explained everything and how aur has very large apps. Source: 6 months ago

• Can't "sudo pacman -Syu" (jdk-openjdk and jre-openjdk are in conflict)

  I wonder how many people got frustrated with the solution posted on the front page of https://archlinux.org/, as it seems to not have been fixed for 5 days already. Source: 7 months ago
