Meta is a little hard because they acquired a lot of existing social networks in their prime and have kept things subtle. Think about how long it took EA to finally strip Maxis of everything but The Sims. The only way you would know something is owned by Meta is from the splash screen.

Basically, "you can do whatever you want as long as it benefits us." I hate for-profit social networks.

The notion that every person has to somehow protect their works for all of their life and beyond the grave is obviously dumb and purely favors corporations at the cost of pitting artists against themselves and fans.

While they aren't perfect, it's certainly better than waiting on the distro or dealing with potential package conflicts that PPAs also had a habit of causing.

At least they're not killing the protocol.

They were a bandaid solution to a problem that Flatpaks and Snap fixed.

The problem with all these chat AIs is that they're just a gloried autocorrect. It never knew what it was saying from the beginning. That's why it "hallucinates".

Still calling it Twitter.

I'm just waiting for everything they haven't killed to merge onto YouTube, at this point. Because that seems to be the direction things are headed.

While I appreciate Elon's efforts, he's still a hypocrite.
