  Just wait until they bring back the technology for streaming so you have to stream your entire desktop from the cloud.

  gitlab is not federated

  I was mistaken for thinking that it was federated. I wonder why gitlab isn't federated, it seems like it would be beneficial for code contributions for open source projects if it had federation.

  I agree. I understand why, I just don't like it :P

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your opinion about Discord?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  I don't like the wording that people use when discussing Discord. Things like, "I'm going to start a Discord server" when in fact they are not self-hosting the server. This makes Discord sound more decentralized than it actually is and it it give the users more of an illusion of control when in fact the creators of Discord have all the control. Stallman was right when he described people as being used and not users.

  Why couldn't an Open source project use self-hosted Matrix and Self-hosted GitLab?

  Its far better to have as much of an "Upstream first" mentality as possible. The more Linux distros cause unnecessary fragmentation, the more we will see duplication of effort which reduced the quality of software for everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Announcing /c/parabola <- Parabola GNU/Linux-libre community in Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  The key differences are in the social/political field. The parabola project is more concerned about social aspects of technology and its impact in all the spheres of human being: freedom/free will, planned obsolescence, social movements, environmental issues, morality/ethics, etc.

  Could you show me a source where the parabola project has talked in an official capacity regarding freedom/free will, planned obsolescence, social movements, environmental issues, morality/ethics, etc.? I think that would make for some interesting reading that I would quite enjoy. Thanks.

  I know what the difference between Arch and Parabola is, but I'm not sure the differences are large enough to warrant an entire separate community away from an Arch specific one. What could a Parabola community possibly talk about that couldn't be posted in an Arch community with a Parabola tag or something?

  Sure thing, here you go: https://superuser.com/questions/1005235/wi-fi-opt-out-microsoft-google

  EDIT: So looked around some more and everyone points to that link as the main source for this information. That link lists a page on microsoft.com that no longer works. The internet archive has a snapshot from 2017 which states the following:

  How we help keep your data safe

  Protecting your home or business network

  If you manage an open Wi-Fi network at home or at a small business but don't want Windows to automatically connect people to it, you can opt your network out by including _optout somewhere in the Wi-Fi network name (also called the SSID). For example, "mynetwork_optout" or "my_optout_network". When you do this, Windows won’t automatically connect people to your open network. For more detailed info, see the section To prevent other Windows 10 customers from automatically connecting to an open Wi-Fi network you manage.

  So it sounds like that only applies to open wifi access points and Windows machines automatically connecting to them. Perhaps _optout doesn't actually matter if you're using wifi encryption (which you should be). Interesting... I'd like to know where I got the idea that it included bing maps cars....

  Thanks for bringing to my attention that I might have accidentally spread misinformation.

  _optout is the SSID suffex to block mapping by Microsoft (which includes Bing maps cars) and can be placed anywhere in the SSID

  _nomap is the SSID suffex to block mapping by Google (which includes streetview cars) and must be placed at the END of the SSID

  To have what should be the default amount of privacy for SSID, one must have an SSID like this: SSIDNAME_optout_nomap

  This is ridiculous and shameful upon the companies that track every little fucking thing about our lives.
