Why did the internet tell me to install xampp? When installing the packages separately was so much better. Hmmm?? I had to reinstall ubuntu to clear the mess I had made 😅 I am very much a PHP noob, thank you.

Hah, they’re still going… so, ok, crypto bros, you want to create a self-populating douchebag registry, who am I to stand in your way?

Here’s a live list of spammer emails that you can use to protect your own apps, etc.

Which one is the best GNU/Linux for a new user?

Let's talk about NFTs! (Thread will be continued in unlisted toots below this one.)

With so many new users arriving on .art fleeing Twitter and their support of NFTs, I thought it might be a good time to talk about .art's stance on NFTs. While users are allowed to share their NFT art on here, as Curator I will never boost it, and .art will never integrate with anything NFT related and will not encourage or promote any NFT-related content.

We pay to Steam, Netflix, Amazon prime, Spotify. But not to Wikipedia, Archive.org, Librivox, Project Gutenberg, for our favourite Linux distro.

The huge asymmetry between corporate and community has not emerged naturally. It is a product of our choices of not supporting community oriented projects.

The short conveniences vs the long-term good. We always chose the former.

In face of surveillance capitalism, we must and must change.

Can anyone explain to me why #OpenOffice still exists after these years of making no progress at all? Seriously. I do not understand why the #ApacheFoundation is still spending (minimal) resources to fix some bugs and keep the project alive while in the end it's going nowhere. No Linux distribution known to me ships with OpenOffice. And what's the point, when there is #LibreOffice? 🤷
