@phosh @fizzo Holy cow...it has come so far in the past few years! Looks SOOOOO different from what I ran on my OG pinephone 3-4 years ago! WELL DONE!!!

@pojntfx @daniel @NGIZero @jcbrand @phosh Why do you say that? Is that genuine excitement, or sarcasm?

@gperson @robux4 @be Haters are always gonna hate...try not to let them get to you and affect your outlook...the FLOSS community appreciates the work that you, and all other contributors, do!

@bconoboy @HankB @bexelbie I appreciate the positive read on it, but MS has a loooooong way to go to get back much support from the FLOSS community, methinks. I still remember Steve Ballmer calling us "a bunch of commies..."

@kdenlive @nuxttux Amazing stuff!

@osuosl has been around for 22 years. They kindly host our gitlab for 6 months now, and provide important services for more than 150 other free and open source software communities such as @alpinelinux, @chimera , @debian, @fdroidorg, @gentoo, @gnome, @LineageOS, #ReplicantOS, @torproject. Now their future is in jeopardy 😢

We usually don't ask this, but please boost for reach, this is important infrastructure for so many FLOSS projects! :boostRequest:

@EUCommission Booooooo...more bureaucracy for working-class people for minimal returns. Accidents caused by vehicle equipment failures pale in comparison to accidents and deaths caused by distracted or impaired drivers.

@fedora Oh, yeah...that makes sense...I don't remember messing with filesystems this time around. Well done - another successful release!

@fedora I just installed F42 from bootable usb drive, and didn't notice any difference...it just worked...what changed?

@fsf Nice April Fool's joke ;)

@iFixit @frameworkcomputer Trying really hard to deflect from the fact that the modular computing company is making a desktop system that's less modular than literally 99% of existing desktop computers...

@cliffwade Thank you for the additional context, but I maintain that my question is not pointless. To wit: the point of my question was to ascertain any additional uses of the information gathered in the poll, such as profiling the userbase of the fediverse by what operating systems they use. This information says quite a bit about the nature of the users. You're still being dismissive (and perhaps a bit defensive) of my curiosity. My question was quite pointed, actually - which is the opposite of pointless. Thank you for putting together a poll, and engaging in the fediverse, but expect much more critical engagement here than on other platforms! Be well!

@cliffwade Not pointless. Part of your handle is infosec.exchange. I'll accept your answer (for fun, nothing more), if you'll accept the validity of my curiousity as to the use of the information. Calling my geniune question silly is quite dismissive.

@cliffwade What is the purpose of this poll? How will the information gathered be used and/or disseminated?

@verge This reads like an Onion headline: Country that invented the surveillance state warns its citizens of the dangers of the surveillance state :)

@verge PCs have been modular for 40+ years...

@verge More lives have been lost/harmed in the United States from denied claims/lack of access to care than ANY amount of data breaches, but hey, what a good feeling knowing that our government is acting on OUR behalf!

@frameworkcomputer doooooo itttttt.....

@ThePlant Firefox or Librewolf FTW! (Let's just take google's money and make an awesome browser with it, eh?) ahem....lots of great plugins available for FF...

@soulscircuit I'd say that it looks like it could be a more rugged option than the steam deck, but anything standing proud of the surface will be at risk of damage if it's put in a pocket or tossed into a backpack. This is a really cool design though. I'll keep following your progress!
