(#dyqjn5a) @mckinley@twtxt.net Ubuntu
(#dyqjn5a) @mckinley@twtxt.net Agreed. I’m just glad my dad has finally gotten out of the Windows ecosystem 😅
(#dyqjn5a) This whole “data commodity” has gone too far.
(#dyqjn5a) @mckinley@twtxt.net Well yes, true, but not my primary point. Microsoft really needs to pull their head out of their ass. Toyota, BMW, Samsung and even Apple to some extent. Companies need to understand a basic economic rule: If a customer buys your product X, they really don’t expect to have to pay for (useless) service Y in order to use product X. I’m looking at you BMW and Toyota, both have attempted to do this and somewhat failed at a consumer level. I wonder why 🤦♂️
Now Microsoft?! C’mon. For fuck’s sake. If I buy a new “today” computer of some kind. I expect to be able to use it “offline” if I want. I’m not going to be forced into paying for a subscription or handing over all my personal information to some stupid tech company that has no business whatsoever treating me as “their product”.
(#wkgxnjq) @mckinley@twtxt.net LOL Nice 😊
(#dyqjn5a) If this goes ahead, it will really give new meaning to “PC ownership” 🤬
Like none whatsoever 🤦♂️
(#dyqjn5a) @osnews@feeds.twtxt.net
lack the words in any of the languages I know to describe the utter disdain I have for this.
How about “fuck off Microsoft” 🤣 Or even “get the fuck out”🤣
(#ns4pufq) @hecanjog@hecanjog.com That is pretty cool 👌
(#qhi3e4q) @slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Well, I see no issue with this personally 😅
I ban all forms of social media in our household 🤣
Adults and visitors included! 🤣
(#6bi3lga) @shreyan@twtxt.net Good! 👌
Looking forward to the extra long weekend coming up 🤞
How about the you?
(#qwhv5wa) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org It’s just a simple config file subscriptions.yaml
for me and the program run on a cron. This basically lets me subscribe to, download and keep in sync various channels I’m interested in and store them wherever I want. The nice thing is the output format / presets are done in such a way as to support media servers like Plex or Jellyfin out-of-the-box.
(#bta5scq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I use ytdlp-sub
(#v4rvlaa) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Pretty cool tree house 🏠
(#tpg7req) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Do you really need to rely on RSS? You could just run a daily cron like I do?
(#6dpqpiq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Very cool 😎
(#kzurcya) @slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Oh boi, here we go 🙄
(#hnjfvrq) @bender@twtxt.net Well to be precise, people form companies 😅 And companies are comprised of people 🤣
So what do we think of the Reddit IPO? 🤔
(#lmyoo3q) @bender@twtxt.net These are not beinged pull via ActivityPub. I disabled the integration long ago myself on my pod. There is a Mastodon instance or two out there that serves up Twtxt feeds. Someone my pod has subscribed to those, I think that’s what’s happening here…
(#lmyoo3q) I’m open to suggestions
(#cvlovya) @bender@twtxt.net My point precisely 🤣 ZFS is ZFS no matter what Branded OS runs it 🤣
(#cvlovya) @osnews@feeds.twtxt.net meh in my opinion you don’t buy into the things that TrueNAS deploys, namely ZFS because of BSD. ZOL or ZFS on Linux is and has been pretty rock solid for decades now. There’s no reason for BSD specifically over Linux for a highly available and fault tolerant file system at TB or PB scale.
(#viwbypq) @xuu@txt.sour.is I see
