I would never trust a billionaire to do anything for us. If he doesn’t just carve out an exception for only people like himself at first, he’ll still lobby to have new restrictions on sharing if they threaten his business model.
It’ll end up being a back-and-forth between him and the IP companies, so if he has enough leverage, they’ll just find a way to give him what he wants without doing so for regular folks.
Very cool! For the user scores, are you using monthly active users, total registered users, or something else?
Thanks for this list! There are some fun suggestions here that’ll help me get into peertube, but Russel Brand is a conspiracy theorist and far-right pundit, recently charged with rape & sexual assault. Suggesting you delete him from this list.
Pandoc can convert many kinds of files to docx, pdf, and lots of other things. Use the text editor of your choice!
It’s just an excuse. They want to get rid of him because they don’t like his politics and he’s an activist. Whether the state categorizes you as a citizen, resident, tourist, undocumented, etc. should have nothing to do with your right to speak out.
Trusting your gut makes sense. It sounds to me like he’s got a medium level of interest, but isn’t in a hurry to hang out terribly often. Part of it could be that, since he already lives in the area, he’s just going to prioritize existing family and close friends over a possible new one.
Making friends in a new place can be frustrating. Just find various kinds of meetups (sports, volunteering, hobbies, clubs, etc) that interest you and eventually you’ll pick up a couple of friends. You have to go in with no expectations for any particular person, but put out invites and see who ends up wanting to hang.
Good luck, keep trying! It took me a year to build up a base of friends when I moved fairly recently.
I think mine was gentoo, waaaay back in the day. It didn’t go great lol.
I’m loving opensuse rn though!
