Could be someone excited to add content to peertube, which desperately needs it.

If you’re looking for a free VPN, I’ve had good experiences with https://riseup.net/en/vpn

I love Filelight. Whoever came up with it is brilliant.

Why do you agree with their censorship and lying?

GPL does not restrict you from selling the software

Oh god, we know.

Practically speaking though, if anyone can redistribute it for free then it’s available for free.

So LTS isn’t really LTS.

Glad I switched to Debian.

However, Ubuntu started a service called Ubuntu Pro / ESM that provides updates for packages in universe.

Since it’s all free software, what gives Ubuntu the privilege to restrict these updates behind paywalls and signups?

Pro is also free for personal use on up to 5 machines, so there’s no reason not to enable it.

Fuck that bullshit. We shouldn’t be encouraging or enabling this behavior at all.

It sure seems that way. Their “extended security maintenance” spam says that there are security updates that are only available if you “subscribe”.

I asked the Linux community about this, and didn’t get a straight answer (not surprised.)

It was enough for me to switch to Debian, though. There’s no excuse for updates to be locked behind paywalls or sign-ups in the free software ecosystem.

Aliasing anything seems like an unnecessary abstraction in just about every instance.

Glad I don’t come across it or much other unnecessary stuff in my work.

That’s an anti-pattern if I’ve ever heard of one.

Not him, but it makes sense to avoid the kinds of people that only have “experience in theory.”

Essentially, those who think they know something because they did something else.

It’s definitely an abusive relationship.

You can buy better hardware for cheaper prices.

Framework exists to take advantage of naive people who are just trying to fit in with strangers on the internet.
