Honestly the thing I kinda care more about would be a fully developed sandboxed permission controlled system like Android, just with the storage permissions like GrapheneOS. I know there are some support for this, flatpak & flatseal etc. but it is not prominent enough. I want it to cover everything, like android.

Can you elaborate a bit on why you believe free market capitalism is good?

Why do you believe that socialism and capitalism is good, and communism is bad?

Your argument at least partially rests on the logical fallacy of equating age with wisdom and good opinions. Instead of arguments covering pros and cons.

I am skeptical of capitalism as a sustainable system, but see advantages such as allowing demand dictate production. The people “vote” for increased production of a given commodity by buying it, and “vote” for decreased by not. Advertisements manipulates the “vote”, which is why I am skeptical of advertisements, and believe it should probably be banned.

Planning consumption in society is a really hard task, but can potentially work if there is a way to effectively detect real demand. This is a real challenge, because in capitalism it “hurts” when you buy something. You have to weigh your options and consider if it is worth the money. I don’t think this is impossible, but I don’t know how.

Allowing the workers and state to own the means of production, that is more obvious. But also has the challenge of predicting future demand in both a local and a global market. If we have free markets for goods and services, we can determine demand with more accuracy and then decide to produce or increase production of a good or service.

In other words the people should have money to buy goods, but their workplace should be owned by themselves or the state. This is socialism if I understand correctly?

Interesting read to get some perspective on this.

I thought it was disappointing and unnecessary for Andy to say anything at all about this, and especially in support of any of the actions of the Trump admin, but I have personally decided to let it slide. That article is one of the reasons. But I still don’t think it is ideal.

I agree, but am happy that X is losing users to Bluesky, so I don’t try to convert friends and family from Bluesky to Masrodon. I’d rather they start changing other stuff instead that is easier.

I know we should not objectify people, and I rarely do.

That said… As a heterosexual man I got to say that this is one of the first times I have truly seen how handsome Elvis was. God damn.

This seems like a racist (or racist-adjacent) post from you, is that what you intended?

I tried to find news articles that supported your claim that more than just democrats was blocked.

I found a couple that said that democrats were blocked, but found it strange that the journalists did not try other obvious hashtags aswell.

Does anyone know of any third party that can verify this?

I don’t have in-depth knowledge of the differences and how big that is. So take the following with a grain of salt.

My main point is that using containerization is a huge security improvement. Podman seems to be even more secure. Calling Docker massively insecure makes it seem like something we should avoid, which takes focus away from the enormous security benefit containerization gives. I believe Docker is fine, but I do use Podman myself, but that is only because Podman desktop is free, and Docker files seem to run fine with Podman.

Edit: After reading a bit I am more convinced that the Podman way of handling it is superior, and that the improvement is big enough to recommend it over Docker in most cases.

There are another important reason than most of the issues pointer out here that docker solves.

Security.

By using containerization Docker effectively creates another important barrier which is incredibly hard to escape, which is the OS (container)

If one server is running multiple Docker containers, a vulnerability in one system does not expose the others. This is a huge security improvement. Now the attacker needs to breach both the application and then break out of a container in order to directly access other parts of the host.

Also if the Docker images are big then the dev needs to select another image. You can easily have around 100MB containers now. With the “distroless” containers it is maybe down to like 30 MB if I recall correctly. Far from 1GB.

Reproducability is also huge efficiency booster. “Here run these this command and it will work perfecty on your machine” And it actually does.

It also reliably allows the opportunity to have self-healing servers, which means businesses can actually not have people available 24/7.

The use of containerization is maybe one of the greatest marvels in software dev in recent (10+) years.

Yeah, I was not able to convince my wife to use LibreOffice instead of Office365, but OnlyOffice was an easy sell. I really enjoy it myself as well.

On their page it says: "## Ascensio System SIA - home of the ONLYOFFICE

ONLYOFFICE is a project developed by experienced IT experts from Ascensio System SIA, leading IT company with headquarters in Riga, Latvia. Originally ONLYOFFICE was designed for internal team collaboration.

An attempt to introduce it to a wider audience proved to be successful: ONLYOFFICE received very positive feedback from the Internet community. As a result, its functionality was considerably revised and expanded that brought about a high and stable growth of users from different countries.

Nowadays, ONLYOFFICE is an international, open source project with employees and contributors in more than 30 countries. The holding company in Singapore unites our offices around the world under the ONLYOFFICE brand. For now, we have departments in Riga, Singapore, London, Dallas, Belgrade, Yerevan and Tashkent. Would like to join our big open source family? Check how to become a contributor or discover job openings."

Hmm…you seem to be at least partially right.

“In 2009, a group of software developers from Ascensio System SIA (Latvian-based) and New Communication Technologies (Russian-based) launched a project called TeamLab, a platform for internal team collaboration.[32]” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnlyOffice

I don’t get the new trend of manual word censoring at all. It is so strange to me how people sensor sex as s*x for instance. Whyyyy??

The German government is also using Matrix for communication in some organizations.

How so?

Does it work well from a user experience standpoint? I am considering switching from my current provider to KeePass XC. Usability is important, I also need to share some passwords with my SO. She is good with technology and computers, but not a dev.

And it can be sorted alphabetically in all software. That’s a pretty big advantage when handling files on a computer
