  4. Every new #user adds a #mental or #physical #power.

    #Users BECOME your #infrastructure & mindset.

    #Growth becomes less #virtual #infrastructure.

    Computing is limited without #mind and #mass improving mentally.

    Grow and use people already 'there'.

    Use measurables: user profile, history and talking to them.

    Thoughts?

    OK ideas for humans progress?

    Mental AND physical #development needed as an individual AND mass?

  6. @SecondJon @frayoshi @freemo Respect:

    1/ #FREEMO was personal & discussed to the end.

    2/ BUT .... HE DIDN'T IMPLEMENT A CORE PART OF HIS OWN INSTANCE TO DEEPEN THE #QOTO METHOD:

    Questioning
    Others to
    Teach
    Ourselves

    SAME ON "#MASTODON SOCIAL"
    (IT'S 1-WAY POSTING / 0-REPLIES MOSTLY)

    #COMMUNITY and #MOVEMENTS NEED DRIVERS ! PEOPLE ! #PIONEERS !

    SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT JUST COLD #SOFTWARE / #USERS.

    #FEDIVERSE NEEDS more than media storage / #software space.

    #QOTO = good idea to try elsewhere

  7. @elsua54 Agree on that.

    We HAVE people "already there" who "made it" as far as #software dev but not dev #fans, #users, a #tribe, as a human #movement from #following.

    Somehow people-loving communication is still Tetris piece missing from all the admin below that I semi-respect!

  11. No, #Windows did not fall below 60% #market share or lose 20 points to #Linux 😭

    source: windowslatest.com/2026/07/12/n…

    Unfortunately, #StatCounter has a difficult role to play here, and mistakes are bound to happen. For example, bots, AI crawlers, scrapers, modified user agents, and other #traffic patterns can manipulate or distort the numbers, causing a brief spike or drop like we’re seeing in the case of Windows’ overall market share now, or Windows 7 last year.

  12. "AT Protocol is not #Bluesky
    The reason I draw your attention to this distinction is because #ATProto has interesting properties, notably in how it supports #pluggable #identity that doesn't depend on the server you use… This puts power in the hands of the #users and not in those of #serveradmins. It means that you can always guarantee credible exit, you cannot get locked in. By default, email-style federation is subject to capture, and indeed email is captured."

  17. People think the #Matrix was about robots. It wasn't. It was about operating systems.


    #Windows is the blue pill.

    You take it, and everything stays comfortable. Pretty icons. Friendly sounds. A setup wizard asking if you want to save your soul to the #cloud. Updates appear at the worst possible moment like a Marvel post-credit scene nobody asked for. Your #PC reboots. You cry. #Microsoft thanks you for improving your experience.

    #Linux is the red pill.

    You wake up. You see how deep the #RabbitHole goes.

    At first, it is terrifying. The #terminal stares at you like Darth Vader asking if you know the power of the #CommandLine. You type one wrong character and feel like you accidentally launched nuclear missiles.

    But then something changes. You realize your #computer actually belongs to you.

    No ads in the Start Menu. No #AI assistant spying harder than a reality TV producer.

    No mysterious background process eating half your #RAM like Pac-Man after three energy drinks.

    You choose what gets installed. You choose when #updates happen. You choose what your #desktop looks like.

    You are Neo.

    Windows #users are still sitting in their pods, downloading the latest mandatory #update called KB-Whatever-Again, wondering why their printer suddenly speaks ancient Sumerian.

    Linux is not perfect. Sometimes Wi-Fi drivers behave like a side quest in Dark Souls.

    Sometimes you spend two hours fixing a problem just to feel smarter than everyone else.

    But that is the point. The red pill was never about comfort. It was about #freedom.

    And freedom means occasionally reading a forum post written by a Finnish guy in 2007 who solved your #problem and vanished forever like a #Jedi master.

    Welcome to Linux. There is no spoon. Only #sudo.

    Jfc, it probably doesn't matter whether you "enabled" the AI SHYTE.

    Firefox AI allows email theft.

    "We're firefox we know what we're doing. You're just a user. Oh, dont worry we will.let you " disable it" --- we are smart tech people, that's why google gave us so much money."

    AI is asbestos we will be tearing it out of everything for generations.

    #transparency is not practice ld by #wsocial on the coding part

    Would be interesting to analyse if and if yes how much #vibecoding is in #wsocial #code

  23. An interesting perspective on France's rollout of @nextcloud It certainly matches my experience that user habits are often one of the biggest hurdles to change.

  24. Ah yes, because what #European #iPhone #users really need is another "innovative" way to hear #Siri mispronounce "bonjour" while securing their #data with the elegance of a rollercoaster 🚀🎢. Apparently, crossing the Atlantic is a safety feat worthy of a Nobel Prize in #techno-babysitting. 🏆📱

  26. “She ( #LieslYearsley ) recalls an incident “many years ago” when she and her #Cognea co-founder #JohnZakos were in the office of a #SocialMedia giant, having built an #AmbientAI that could read a couple of sentences and get a pretty good read on someone’s personality, with a #conversational #UserInterface.”

    “To my shame, I hesitated for a few seconds. I knew if I had said yes, we would have had an early exit and retired, but I knew this would lead to mass #disinformation. So I said ‘Yes, but that’s not why we are here’,” she says. “Someone else said ‘yes’, and we have the world we live in today.”

    “Yearsley doesn’t regret walking away from the chance to make a fortune from #manipulating social media users, but it feeds into her cynical view of the motivations of the giant companies leading the AI charge.”

    “They were there to pitch their technology as a way to detect young users at risk on the platform to provide support – but the unnamed social media giant’s head of mergers and acquisitions joined the meeting with different ideas. They asked if Yearsley’s AI could help it tell Republicans from Democrats, which it could, and also if it could be used to #predict what #news items #users would share.”

  28. I firmly believe that #Windows #users who only #browse the #web, watch #movies, use #word processing and #email, and do some basic #photo #editing are much better off with #Linux than with #Windows11. This is likely true for 85% of home Windows users.

    You don't even have to make any major adjustments because the software looks almost identical on Windows and Linux:

    1) For #browsing use #Firefox (or #LibreWolf).
    2) For word processing use #LibreOffice.
    3) For emails use #Thunderbird.
    4) For movies use #VLC.
    5) For photo editing use #Gimp (or #Krita).
    6) There are now also better alternatives to many other Windows applications available on Linux...

    So please explain to me why #XDA thinks Linux is only for Windows users who just surf the web? source: xda-developers.com/linux-becom…

    Which Linux distribution do you recommend for #beginners switching from Windows?

    Linux is quietly becoming the better choice for Windows users who just browse the web

  29. We sent a handwritten letter to every user who hadn't logged in for 30 days. Users cried. Real tears. It was generated by AI and printed by a fulfillment warehouse in Reno.
