Ouch. Fixed it now, thanks.

Feels sad and relatable…

To be fair, we can track abandoned oss because of open repositories, butcan we keep track or estimate the abandoned proprietary software? There are so many companies out there, small and big, abandoning some projects here and there.

This is the first time I see this variation. Loved it!

I think it’s a really cool addon, and not bloat at all. If we want the general public to ise linux based systems, we need every common functionality to be available without needing to open a terminal.

Isn’t it impressive that we in Brazil sometimes create the best and most simple solutions to problems, but no one will imitate us and will keep insisting in their problematic systems, because we are the third world and supposedly can’t get anything right? It’s sad when we end up replacing our own good things, because even we think we’re inferior in everything and can’t come up with a good solution for anything.

But how long will your storage media last? Will the technology required to read it still be available in 1500 years?

No need to make things complicated. I’m from Brazil and I live everyday the consequences of having our data exposed out there by mismanagement and abuse:

There are criminals out there using our data in several ways, like extorting money, taking banking loans in your name, using your credit card online, etc etc etc. We can’t rest in peace

That if Wikipedia survives 1500 years. Digital media tends to be much more fragile than traditional ones in that aspect.

Well, that if we survive 1500 years, but I’ll let that for another discussion.

Now everything makes sense

I lost all my data from my router trying to update it using the ui and had to reconfigure everything. I use linux for a long time, but openwrt is on another level

Sorry, I didn’t know there was that annoyance in the article, because I use blockers. You can try using 12ft.io to read it, or maybe the reader mode if your browser has it.

For the curious ones wanting a non academic source, here’s a very interesting read:

The “exclusively” part from the meme has apparently was added without a source, though.

Those threads are so funny. One day, we see people talking against planned obsolescence and the environmental impacts of the tech industry. The other day, the same people are cheering for removal of backwards compatibility and happy to throw away their stuff to buy new ones, and even making peer pressure on the ones who don’t do the same so they feel “antiquated”.
