the good news is this is a lesson to never trust any entity whose role in the world is to accumulate capital
for some of us, particularly queer, black, trans, women, immigrant, and indigenous people, the stakes are higher than “i don’t personally agree with the ceo of proton.” our lives are being endangered both by the new admin’s policies as well as the emboldened cult associated with it.
this is not a “spaz” (offensive term by the way, so thanks for that) or brat move. it’s simply us doing what people always say to do: voting with our wallets. this move is bad for a lot of people. i’m thrilled for you that it’s not bad, but i ask you to see us saying it is bad not as your enemy, but as people who are vulnerable asking you to take a longer look at the bigger picture

mass market media can only understand the world through the lens of mass market media
that’s not pretending. that’s who the repuplicans are
those maga idiots will use that as proof there’s a global conspiracy against america and that their only protection is donald trump

i mean idk, i was just asking about what that other poster was saying. i fuckin’ hate ubuntu for other reasons and i generally don’t speak on it in the negative or positive in threads like this. i only chimed in because what was being said struck me as odd. “it’s the most user friendly distro there is, it just breaks a lot”
it made me wonder what user friendly meant to this other user. i wanted to hear their perspective because i thought i could learn something, especially as i help my mom, an inexperienced linux user, use linux on an old laptop for the first time
is it user friendly if it’s so prone to breakage?
mint is probably where you want to be. if you have performance issues with mint, consider MX Linux, AntiX, and EndeavourOS, in that order.
right. it was the corporate centralization and profit motives. that was the main focus of my ire. but how the corpos captured the net was by investing in lowering the bar of interactive participation. it’s great that more people got to participate, it’s not great that it came at the cost of participation benefitting corporations, not participants
web 2.0 was the generation of web technologies defined by a lower barrier to entry for web posting thanks to centralized platforms provided by for profit corporations. think facebook, reddit, twitter, youtube
it’s still frustrating how much is being lost though from our collective knowledge, especially with the dismantling of the internet archive. web 2.0 was definitively a mistake, and it’s one that almost everyone fell for
i think you underestimate how influential curtis yarvin is amongst the silicon valley crowd
we will continue to call your game an action rguelike, sir. you don’t get to add a twist to a genre and then be who’s the genre
i didn’t ask for all my files to be on the cloud. it just happened one day. and when it happened, they moved locations locally so i couldn’t easily find them and put them where i wanted
oh man. we’re the og fascists. our policies inspired european fascism. we’ve done all the key components of a fascist regime before: the forced labor, the death camps, the mass surveilance, the overt militarism, the desperate need to expand and get rid of the people who were already there
