You can't use Oculus products now without a Facebook account?

The frustration is fair and understandable, but his characterization of Rust is wrong IMO. Side note, has anyone read a Java textbook? They are notable for not being able to go mor…

hmmm, this is your desktop or a server?

It was a pun on "What's cracking?"

It was a joke, like "What's cracking?"

Don't be ridiculous. There are thousands of competing communications providers. If you want to share content that harms society or harms the platforms themselves then you might jus…

It's not a non sequitur. Freedom of speech is not the same thing as a (nonexistent) right to post whatever you want on a private platform regardless of the consequences for others …

So newspapers should be compelled to print every letter they receive?

They're private platforms. You can send those links via many other routes which would be legally protected speech.

They're not banning all allegations of fraud. They're blocking a specific set of claims that have been shown to be false, for instance that Donald Trump won the 2020 US election.

No, you're misinformed. The (Federal) Supreme Court rejected the Pennsylvania case unanimously.

Ah, my bad. The REFERENCE implementation, written in Python, which was supposed to be supplanted by a faster, better implementation years ago, now has 10x less bugs.

It's not decentralized because it's federated, client-server chat software. This is more decentralized than Discord or what-have-you, but it requires reliance on multiple centraliz…

A lot of Linux-y people, including myself, reject Matrix. It's not the solution it claims to be. I could write a list of criticisms of Matrix's software products, organization, and…

You said "they all spy", implying generic Linux. You have been called out for multiple falsehoods in your comments here and you've still failed to provide any evidence.

Linux operating systems don't spy on their users. This is false. Stop repeating misinformation. The Ubuntu Amazon fiasco is, if anything, evidence of extreme resistance to this kin…

This is a lie.

So... No, this has never happened on Ubuntu.
