I like the changes that have been made so far. It's neat having a positive reputation score for once. 😅

I thought this was going to be a thread debating the merits of the two disc formats, and I'm disappointed that it's not. :(

I know that particular format war didn't last very long, but I wonder if there's anything HD-DVD ended up doing better than Blu-Ray.

As for the actual topic of this thread, I'm not sure if it's the right analogy. Blu-ray and HD-DVD were incompatible with one another, while Kbin and Lemmy are mostly compatible. I'm not entirely sure what to compare it to, maybe Linux vs. BSD?

Hot peppers. Whether it's jalapeno, cayenne, habanero, Thai chilis, ghost pepper, or even the milder ones like banana peppers, they're all great. :D

It turns out it came out in 2016. I was thinking 2018, but I was wrong. https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/official-reddit-app/

In a way, it's been even longer than that, since they bought out Alien Blue in 2014, according to Wikipedia

I felt Reddit's quality started going downhill around 2021, which is not long after ~~they introduced the official app and~~ started allowing Google logins.

EDIT: Looks like the official app's been around longer than I thought. :O

What's the TL;DW version?

Unless you happen to use Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, or Oracle Linux. It doesn't affect Debian, or Ubuntu, or openSUSE, or Arch, or anybody else.

So, stupid question, but would Fedora be affected at all? I know that's related to Red Hat, but I'm guessing it's not affected since it's not based on RHEL.

It's not a question of legality really, but more one of an ethical nature. It sort of depends on you, as to whether or not you're bothered by RedHat doing this or not.

I'd say I'm bothered by it, but there's not really anything I can do about it. I'm disappointed the GPL doesn't have stricter rules regarding the distribution of source code though. I feel like it kinda defeats the purpose if sources aren't freely available to anyone who wants to use them.

Fuck Meta. We need to vehemently oppose their presence in the Fediverse.

It's GPL3 and the source code is available on GitLab, so it's open source. That's usually a good sign as far as software safety goes, since it's harder to sneak nasty things in when your code is out in the open than it is with a closed-source app.

AuDHDer here, I honestly wish Reddit would quit their bullshit and go back on their proposed changes so that I could go back to my normal routine. Of course, they probably won't, because Reddit doesn't give a shit. Anyway, I've been trying to stay off of there to support the blackout, but old habits die hard for me so I've accidentally logged in a few times.

Kbin seems like an OK alternative. Not so sure about other instances though. Thinking I'm gonna stick with Kbin stuff until I figure out what's what.
