@_elena @EUCommission So to access this "open" space we need to download an application from the stores from the selfsame companies you criticised for having a gatekeeper roles? AND these are the companies we want to become more independent off. Hypocritical the last degree. Hard to believe that this actually about freedom and sovereignty, and not about building yet another surveillance and censorship apparatus. Just "Under EU controll".

@alice Dead internet theory has moved from being a theory to being a axiom frighteningly quickly. The few places that are still real are under relentless assault. It's scary. Thank you and to all the other mods and instance admins keeping the flood at bay. ️ But we seriously need to figure out something to manage this.

@piggo @yavien Yes! Exactly that. Juding by my (not) very accurate recreation of Minas Tirith, I probably have cumulatively eaten at leatst one packing peanut 🤭

@carnage4life reminds me of a statistic a lecturer showed us in a architecture lesson on code quality. On average, only 1/3 of the code in an application is actually used regularly. We never needed to write more code, we should stop writing useless code. No wonder drinking from the code firehose doesn't do anything. ‍️
