Meta has told the Brazilian government that it doesn't yet have to worry about the end of fact checkers in its country because it is only removing them in the United States for the time being.

Well, didn't they develop BTRFS?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Not really. It was one of Oracle developers. He later joined Facebook and Facebook did contribute to the development, but at point it was already moving out of experimental stage.

Ah, that is interesting, I have held off of BTRFS due to believing it was made by Facebook, so I'll have to give it another chance.

I know it isn't a rational reason to avoid it, but feelings are not always rational.

Thanks for clearing up the misunderstanding!

Zstd was Facebook developed. And is really good, almost unfortunately. And is getting pretty widespread so we will always have a small, cursed piece of Facebook in our Linux systems :(

Yes, they'll wait until the media loses interest before doing the exact same thing here without a single major national publication remembering to cover it. Filhos da puta.

How does someone make billions but can't get themselves a decent haircut? It bugs me every time I see his highly punchable face.

That is so perversely funny

Sounds that’s going to work well. It wasn’t going so well to start with but apparently they are still on top of Pixelfed!
