I couldn't find any indication of it being open source anywhere

ImageMagick is a command line image manipulation tool, it's likely the instance is using it in its backend to properly convert/modify things in images before uploading them but something broke and now images don't work. This is likely up to the lemmy.blahaj.zone admins to fix

Linus tech tips, despite having some criticisms, had a rather positive opinion of Linux as far as I can remember

Interesting, it seems to address some of the security flaws F-Droid has; it would be nice to see where this project goes once it's a bit more mature

XMPP is a protocol for decentralised chats, allowing people registered on different servers to chat with people on other servers, kind of similar to how email works (and Lemmy of course).

Google Talk was a service by Google which started with XMPP support, letting users from other XMPP servers chat with Google Talk users. Google Talk was always slightly different from the XMPP standard, due to having proprietary code in its backend, leading to chats between Talk users working flawlessly but not between XMPP and Talk users. Slowly, Google Talk became more popular than the other servers.

Eventually, XMPP server-to-server support was removed as part of their transition to Hangouts, meaning once Talk users switched to it, XMPP users would no longer be able to chat with them and would have to switch to Hangouts. While XMPP still exists today, it's definitely a niche nowadays, and this is part of the reason.

Edit: proper paragraphs

That's how people thought it would have gone with XMPP and Google Talk, but that's not how it went at all

uBlock Origin has a similar enough tool in its "advanced mode", although it's not as complete as uMatrix was

Have been running Arch for a few years now, booting Windows whenever I need something that doesn't work otherwise or has no alternatives, which doesn't happen that frequently.

That's hilarious though
