DAC Protogen

There already are a few: https://itsfoss.com/immutable-linux-distros/ and Ubuntu seems to work towards an immutable future as well, I think it’s where most distros well be in a few years. The transition needs time though.

Fedora Silverblue. But since Fedora aims to include telemetry (although in a reasonable way) by version 40, I’ll switch soon to something else. I feel it might be time to give BSD an honest attempt.

If you want a boring, pretty much dead monoculture of a patch of grass, you gotta work for it. ;) I think that real nature, including useful plants for bees and other critters have much more value. Children should play on lush meadows with flowers and interesting insects to discover, instead of a mentally and visually dull organic carpet, that is merely a facade for wannabe-perfection.

Honestly, I wonder if that even matters. I’ll be the first to admit that I have no deep insight on that matter and that I would simply want to see Meta blocked because it’s a privacy-invading, manipulative entity that sucks up all data it can get in order to force-feed people ads and products. Products that contain algorithms that are extremely unhealthy for mental health, as the only thing they care about is “user engagement”, which is driven by drama and conflict. You get nothing but information bubbles and prioritized bullshit content that stirrs you up. There is no value in that, it’s mostly just harmful. The fediverse apps are being created to offer an alternative to exactly that stuff, and I am here because I want to get away from big tech. If lemmy.world doesn’t take a clear stance to separate itself from the likes of Meta, then there is simply no point in using it over any corporate alternative. I honestly expect lemmy.world to follow lemmy.ml in this clear approach, or I’ll switch instances. I’m just giiving it some time to come to the right conclusion. But if Meta is being allowed to freely interact here and scoop up everything for their purposes, I’ll be on lemmy.ml in about 2 weeks. That’s a reasonable time frame to see a discussion unfold and wait for an outcome. Even if blocking Meta won’t completely stop them from grabbing data here, it’s the right thing to make it harder for them and to send the message that their approach is not wanted here.

Blowing the seeds off of dandelion flowers into the wind :)

I would say we need a vote if lemmy.world should do the same. I would be for blocking meta.
