Absolutely, which was my point. That the tooth thing wasn’t “only two years ago” it’s actually been in the research and development process for probably over 15 years at this point, with a long way to go.

It’s been in the works for over ten years. Here is a paper on research into it from 2014.

Here’s another one from 2010.

And another from 2008.

Potentially even one or two tech companies that have been around for decades depending on how large it gets before that burst.

Please be Microsoft, please be Microsoft, please be Microsoft.

Here’s the paper published in Nature.

However, it’s worth noting that Nature has had to retract studies before:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature_(journal)#Retractions

From 2000 to 2001, a series of five fraudulent papers by Jan Hendrik Schön was published in Nature. The papers, about semiconductors, were revealed to contain falsified data and other scientific fraud. In 2003, Nature retracted the papers. The Schön scandal was not limited to Nature; other prominent journals, such as Science and Physical Review, also retracted papers by Schön.

Not saying that we shouldn’t trust anything published in scientific journals, but yes, we should wait until more studies that replicate these results exist before jumping to conclusions.

Which docker container do you use, if you don’t mind me asking. Also, how complicated would you rate the setup? I have a degree in network admin and run multiple Linux servers and docker containers with manually created docker network bridges so they can freely communicate with one another, to give an idea of my knowledge base. Honestly the only thing I haven’t done before yet that makes me nervous is setting up a reverse proxy to expose the endpoint to the internet and connect it to my owned domain name.

I didn’t even know they had it set up as an apt repository for Ubuntu. Very interesting.

I don’t even really plan to use any bridges, as I understand it those are for if you want to pass messages from other services through your matrix server. I would rather keep those separate personally, even though I understand certain benefits, including having all your messaging in one application instead of numerous.

I always heard that rolling out an initial Matrix instance isn’t terrible, especially with ansible and/or docker, but I also have heard that a lot of updates have breaking changes and that updating your server is less simple.

As someone who runs your own Matrix server, would you agree with this sentiment or disagree and why? I have considered rolling out my own many times but get discouraged by those who say keeping it updated is kind of a nightmare. For example, a private tracker I am a member of used to have a Matrix server and an IRC server, but they eventually dumped the Matrix server entirely to reduce complexity as well as the fact that fewer people used it.

I understand that. I actually used the snap one for a long time but then was having issues with it crashing a lot and switched over. I doubt most have the same issues I was having.

I was just pointing out that if you want to make it difficult for yourself, you can haha.

I mean you can still get that experience on Ubuntu if you want to install Firefox as an apt package instead of being forced to install it as a snap package.

There is no spoon.

I Think You Should Linux with Tim Robinson

You’re looking at a nude egg.

It would ship with a copy of the egg game.

DD Linux (Danny Devito Linux)

So anyway, I started blasting

True, but the size of those early generations it’s easier to fit a standard size SSD in.

The iPod was genuinely dope in first and second generation.

Bro affiliate marketing on lemmy.world is considered spam and will be removed.

Flagged and I hope your ass gets banned.

I mean, I don’t disagree, but Google is just as awful and most people only really have a choice between an Android phone and an iPhone so not “supporting” one or the other isn’t really an option for most people who, you know, want a phone.

Linux phones need a lot of improvement and growth before they can be a functional replacement for either of those, sadly.

That’s honestly a bit surprising, the media went whole hog with accolades for him in 2014 when he first openly talked and wrote about being gay.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/oct/30/apple-chief-tim-cook-proud-to-be-gay

Remember when it was viewed as not appropriate to write stories about Apple’s tax dodging because Tim Cook came out as gay, and how important and brave he was.

Remember that Apple, and specifically Tim Cook, has bent over for Trump over and over, including helping fund his bullshit ass ballroom?

Maybe we should accept that absurdly rich gay white men can be just as big of shitbirds as absurdly rich straight white men and just as willing to sell out their own countrymen and their own sexual identity community.

So then what’s the fucking difference if they’re bitching about their issues with Windows versus bitching about their issues with Linux? Doesn’t that bring us back to the original post? Let people complain. If they’re going to have issues either way and bitch either way, why the fuck do you have to evangelize them to get them to shut up about the ones you’re ideologically opposed to? What are you really doing other than having them bitch about something you feel happy about? You haven’t materially made their life better, they still have computer issues they hate, but now they just have a smaller number of people they can turn to for help. Great job.
