How about we steer toward better data privacy in general? Cars are collecting way too much data about us? So is everything else! We need sweeping legislation to claw back our privacy. We need a constitutional amendment guaranteeing a right to privacy.

Thank you, this is really helpful!

Thank you, I’ll look into options.

When you say email aliases, what do you mean? A lot of services strip plusses from emails now, right?

I don’t really disagree, but I think that was the original intent of the meme; to show Crowder as a complete chode by having him assert really stupid, deeply unpopular ideas.

The meme’s use has become too soft on Crowder lately, though, I think.

I’d rather just buy loose leaf and use a washable strainer. It’s generally less expensive and higher quality too.

Loose leaf is excessively packaged? Normally when I buy loose leaf I just get a tin that’s full of tea and nothing else.

Okay, so here’s some more easily interpreted numbers. In addition to having the largest change in traffic share relative to its previous share, Linux actually had the largest change in actual traffic share. It was just BARELY above Mac OS. If more significant digits were allowed here, Linux rose 0.0085 while Mac OS rose 0.0082.

2022 percentages computed as:

share_2022 = share_2023 / ( 1 + relative_percent_change )

and percent change computed as:

absolute_percent_change = share_2023 - share_2022

* The relative percent change for “other” is not reported in the graphic. There is a remainder of 0.005 in the Share Change which is, presumably, attributable to change in the “other” category.

Last year’s results

I just found last year’s results. It looks like my math bears out, though it appears that they rounded differently.

Notably, last year’s changes were very different.

** Linux and Chrome Book’s absolute change was less than 0.0005.

*** As with 2023, the percentage change for “other” is not reported in the graphic. There is a remainder of 0.012 in the Share Change which is, presumably, attributable to change in the “other” category. This seems large, though, given that the total traffic share for “other” is only 0.016. That would imply a change from 0.001 to 0.012. Looking at the 2021 numbers this doesn’t appear to be correct.

You are just going to die on this hill, aren’t you? Even Linus recognized that his attitude was toxic, eventually, and that it was having a negative impact on the kernel development community. Yes, people left. Talented people decided it wasn’t worth the abuse.

I actually had forgotten that Leela is Katey Segal. I thought it was funny without that extra context.

I kept thinking “surely this was attached to something else and they didn’t just give a mint and a few stupid jokes”. Then I noticed another one of these stuck to a locker in the background. What pieces of trash. You don’t show appreciation by saying “You are appreciated”. You show appreciation by compensating your employees for their work.

I use vscode with vim key bindings. It’s amazing!

I wasn’t talking about this one specific instance really. I was using it as an example while talking about the tools needed for managing federation and what a user sees.

Are you seeing angry comments about /u/spez or hateful comments? While I can understand and condone angry comments I would hope that hateful or threatening comments are being moderated appropriately.

I guess I don’t see “go see the titanic” memes as “hateful” given that they’re coming from a acute sense of betrayal rather than something like racism or nationalism. That’s probably because I’m angry too and see some of the distasteful comments and memes as somewhat justified in this case. I don’t post shit like that but I don’t see it as the same as the hate speech that used to come from /r/the_donald.

You’re probably right that blocking a single community should probably be an option.

That said, if an instance is willing to allow hateful communities like TD, I expect their comment sections will be more toxic than other instances. I like the idea of defederating from instances that allow hateful communities.
