Thanks Drew, but, ... Wasn't Redis under a ***Cuck*** license before? https://lukesmith.xyz/articles/why-i-use-the-gpl-and-not-cuck-licenses/ - (answer, yes, it was).
Although I personally would have preferred to see it go #AGPL, the Choice of #SSP was certainly better than what it was licensed under before (i.e, MINIX is the most ubuquitous OS in the world according to #Tanenbaum himself).
I guess the #LGPL library license for fraidy cats works for #Redict, but #Redis is no longer cucked so all is good now.

You've completely lost me with that assertion.
You prolly don't remember when we did #Gentoo installs from "Stage 1,2,3" tarballs, or when one of the oldest Linux Distros, "Sorcerer Linux" spawned other source based distro forks like #SourceMage, and #Lunar_Linux, yet I fail to glean what the heck your referring to when you relate these to SystemD... I mean.... Huh?

Let's not forget (shameless plug coming) your excellent #PeerTube 'walk-through tutorials' for #Fediverse and other #FOSS technologies that folks should be aware of.
I know I send folks links to those on a regular basis and they really help prime understand how the Fediverse, and to a more general degree, #DeSoc and #Smolweb empowers them via your explanations and guided tours.
Your commitment is truly an asset to the community at large 👍

How can the one we have be better than the one we have?
Perhaps it would have been clearer if the latter was presented in past tense - the one we had?
#Mastodon_social does not, however, qualify, since it is itself the deprecated model, considering it's just another monolithic silo itself in most respects.
Journalists are also realizing stock Mastodon isn't acceptable either due to a paltry 500 char limit; #Friendica, #Mitra, #Pleroma, #Firefish - much better!

I've seen this on four social networks in the #Fediverse now in just over a week - #ActivityPub, #ZOT, #nostr, and #Movim/XMPP. These memes are going around, but what about those privacy disrespecting, deprecated legacy silos like #Faceplant, #Twitter, and #InstaSPAM or #Reddit - Why is it that we're preaching to the choir instead of to the sinners of the #SunnyVale_Syndrome?
Go forth, save those poor souls over on the silos, Tell them that they're pork bellies. Muahahaha!

That just creates an environment where we have to shoot the shoplifters ourselves.
No biggy, I guess, after owning a gun store for over 4 years I got used to being ready for action - you never know when someone will walk through that door who has decided to kill you or steal from you.
It's not difficult to live that way - but it really is a shitty way to live... so why do you advocate for it?
Hire more cops - put the criminals into dungeons and let 'em rot.

The short answer is that, "It's not about the air purifier - it's about getting you to install something that tracks and quantifies you, and data mines your privacy."
In this case, you're not getting something for free - like Faceplant or InstaSPAM, you're actually paying money for the exclusive privilege of making yourself the product.

I was playing with this, it's simple enough to install - NOTE: it needs PAM, so that's a definite minus, but they say they're working on that (We'll see).
Also, it's certainly not ready for prime time now; most common use cases aren't supported - there's no fine grained control that it is typically used for: Per user, per command, per host defaults, etc.
If all you're doing is shielding yourself from borking your system, then it works ok.

This is a good one. It reminds me of the series of signs going up the 1/4 mile driveway towards the top of the hill where my house was at my old ranch.
The first one read: "Do you believe in God?"
A bit later, the second read, "Do you believe in Satan?"
As you continued up that hill with a steep cliff along the side the third one read, "Do you believe in Samuel Colt?"
Almost at the top, the last one read, "You're about to meet two of them."
After that, you'd be in my reticle.

Not at all 🙂
#Mitra is a complete #Fediverse #publishing platform - think #WriteFreely or moreso, #Substack for the Fediverse.
It supports monthly subscriptions from any Fediverse user, supports your interactions with any other Fediverse users publishing in Markdown (unlike mastodon) and yes, you can use Monero (XMR) to send tips to your favorite authors in the midst privacy respecting ways possible.
It's written in Rust, and much much more 🤠

I can understand the "Dirty Dozen" style, post-suicide-mission commutation of a prison sentence, but WTF? He only got an initial 10 year prison sentence?
Multiply that initial sentence by six and now we're talking realistic, plus the notion that a truly heinous, barbaric crime that included dismembering victims would even be considered eligible for military missions with subsequent clemency is inconceivable.
