This is the first beard I’ve ever seen make someone’s chin look weaker.

RIP Kenny G

With the exception of some stuff used for windows desktop development, .NET (“dotnet core” is just .NET now) is released under the MIT license. I’m not following how using .NET would be contributing to the “agenda of proprietary software”.

The dotnet cli tools that come with the SDK run just fine cross platforms without Visual Studio. Your Linux distribution probably packages the SDK already, just install and use it.

If you want, you can use C# without .NET by using Unity, mono, or maybe Godot now I think?

Unfortunately a lot of the IPFS community seems to have been inundated with crypto nonsense. Which is a shame, since I think the basic idea is a good one.

You should check out IPFS which is pretty similar to what you’re describing, at least for file storage (which can be used to host web content).

Absolutely. They know that Facebook is uncool and unpopular. The Instagram branding still has some capital with the yutes.

Edit: I don’t mean to say that The Verge is doing this intentionally (maybe, I don’t know), but Meta certainly is.

I’m sure it will come to the EU eventually. Probably sooner rather than later.

why American government has not gone after Proton like they did with Lavabit

Lavabit was based in the United States. Proton AG operates entirely in Switzerland. Ostensibly the US government would have to go through the Swiss court system to get anything out of Proton.
