Hell nah this is a Linux community, it’s always the right place

I’m curious; wouldn’t tail refuse to open /dev/zero since it can’t fseek in it ?

The closest that comes to mind are QSFP cables.

Your Mileage May Vary

There’s a push towards WebAssembly. Officially it’s not supported yet, but most browsers can handle it. I don’t know how mature the project is though.

But yeah, essentially everything on the web is JS.

I have one of those, it won’t work with my Linux though :/

Yes, and it makes sense that it would, and I’d happily give such data to developers I trust to make the programs I love better.

However, that same click data (maybe with some how-long-have-you-looked-at-this data) can definitely be used to target ads at me, which in my book is not okay. And as I said in my comment before, it’s really difficult (at least for me) to trust companies.

To me, telemetry would be like a sofa company wanting to put some cameras in your home to see if you’re using the sofa the way they thought you would. It just feels… off.

“90% of crashes happen right after the player uses a grenade”.

Imo, a simple opt-in crash report gets the job done. Technically it is telemetry, but a crash report is more justified than a “where have you clicked” report.

telemetry data for software from reputable companies does not get sold

There’s just no trust in companies to not sell my data. I cannot trust Microsoft nor Google nor any other company to not sell my data, having seen the shenanigans every single company is willing to pull off to get a cent more a year.

I tested high on the IQ scale. I’m single, unemployed and have trouble making friends.

I know I’m just a stranger on the Internet, but those are symptoms of gifted people.

You should look into giftedness. I’ve recently read a book on it (in french), and it’s helped me lots in understanding my condition, my differences with others as well as the challenges I face in the corporate world.

I’d be happy to talk about it if you wish!

people not understanding your thought process

First, knowing that you have a mind that may take shortcuts that others aren’t used to taking is helpful. Whenever you explain something to someone else, it is useful to explicit the reason you take these shortcuts.

For instance, if while talking about subject A, your mind makes a link to subject B and them to C, you have to talk about B before talking about C, even if to you B is evident and there’s no point in talking about it.

people not understanding your way of life

People don’t need to understand my way of life. It’s my life, I do what I want. I can explain to them why I chose to do the things I do, but ultimately I’m going to do it whether they understand or not – unless they convince me that it’s a bad way to live.

Your link (or at least what I’ve read from it) doesn’t cover why it would be bad to make the ocean saltier; it only talks about the rise of the salty ocean water.

I think it’ll come with time. As Lemmy (the software) and its userbase matures, the situation will be better for smaller communities.
