Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus. FOSS nerds: the Torment Nexus cannot be ethical until it is Open Source 291407342
>8[-DX @8dx.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Excuse you, open source is still subject to vendor lockdown, to be ethical, torment nexi must be free, as in freedom. 130
Pelican @pelicanmerchant.bsky.social · 24/02/2026It's kinda of incredible the amount of evil you can stop when you democratize software 030
Gwen C. Katz @gwenckatz.bsky.social · 24/02/2026If you don't like that the Torment Nexus is tormenting people, you are always free to fork it and release your own non-torment nexus 1522
Chris Merkel @chrismerkel.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Like ESR said in his book "the cathedral and the nexus"... 030
John Kreitlow @john.kreitlow.rocks · 24/02/2026It's all about the lowercase federated torment nexus protocol, where the torment is democratized 0355
Spookbar & Death @borgmamel.bsky.social · 24/02/2026sorry to be pedantic, but that's GNU/Torment Nexus 41054
John M. Gamble @jmgamble.bsky.social · 24/02/2026That of course is the problem; you're forking *The* Torment Nexus. What society wants is a *Distributed* Torment Nexus. 070
Olivia Just Wants Tech To Be Fun Again @kingdomfantasy6.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Well duhhhhhh, once the Torment Nexus is on TorgoHub then we'll have a nexus for all the nerds to add their own flavor of torment, which makes it decentralized and less work for the creators. 160
Raise her sharp @eggbag.bsky.social · 24/02/2026The Wrath is just a false positive bro look in the megathread 010
Nicolás Alvarez @nicolas17.xyz · 24/02/2026bsky.app/profile/adam...Adam Chalmers@adamchalmers.comPlease stop using OpenTorment!!! It's only open-core! TormentLibre is the fully FOSS alternative! 030
nick @nickzoic.bsky.social · 24/02/2026There is no longer a Torment Nexus, tormentd is now part of systemd. 041
Victor Turner Overdrive @badfriendclub.bsky.social · 24/02/2026If we simply decentralize the torment nexus 0100
Brightmarsh @brightmarsh.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Motherfuckers who squawk the torment nexus will cause human extinction its the end of the world and out of the other side of theirnmouth be like "which is why you should give me 20 zillion to make the torment nexus which will totally cause human extinction 040
e. hashman @eha.sh · 24/02/2026I've been saying, lol toot.cat/@ehashman/10...toot.cate. hashman :kittyfied: (@ehashman@toot.cat)PSA: Making your software free and open source does not make it virtuous. The GPL license on your "name-gender classifier" does not negate the harm that software does. 0122
ghostatlas3.bsky.social @ghostatlas3.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Crypto bros: The $BASILISK token democratizes access to the first fully decentralized, censorship-resistant Torment Nexus 1181
🇺🇦 @scifiwifi42.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Just please don’t theme the Torment Nexus, otherwise the gnomes will never shut up about it. 120
Nick Kellett @nickkellett.bsky.social · 24/02/2026If it isn't copyleft you may not be able to study, modify, or distribute copies of The Torment Nexus 1684
Nirbo @nirbo.bsky.social · 24/02/2026As a BSD nerd we need to have a conversation about whether you mean torment as in anguish or torment as in beer. 060
Emmie Päivärinta @about1em.bsky.social · 24/02/2026It's perfectly ethical if you run a Torment Nexus in your home. 110
em @spckr.eurosky.social · 24/02/2026Unfortunately the maintainer of OpenTorment is annoying, so you should really consider switching to LibreTorment or FreeTN 1353
Nate Goldman @ungoldman.com · 24/02/2026I run my own torment nexus in my closet, I am part of the solution 312013
HawkWolf (aka H. A. Kirsch) @hakirsch.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Just make the torment nexus GPL and then private companies can’t use it, problem solved 000
