follow me on OF? pls?pls?
Google wants the internet simplified so they can get it under their control, what else is new? I started learning web design a few years back and this is the kind of shit that makes me suicidal. There’s almost no point when they have such a huge monopoly in the space.
Okay, well I’m ready to write a angry email now who’s with me? Anybody know the best address?
Well obviously hope and optimism and nuance are important here, I can’t entirely disagree with that I’m just saying we need to support illegalist climate action uncritically (except in the case of complicated, shady organizations like PETA) and we can’t expect those in power to act sensibly as a general rule.
I’m not saying we need to write everything off as hopeless, I’m saying we need to recognize that a lot of current efforts amount to greenwashing and ARE hopeless or even pointless (carbon credits for one are a good scam that comes to mind). The best work is being done by people chaining themselves to trees and sabotaging oil pipelines, not those writing policy with pockets full of cash… and this honestly comes off as apologetic for the latter and more than a little naive to me.
Mindless optimism isn’t the answer either. We need real change immediately, the window to slam on the brakes as a species is already behind us arguably. The only answer is to be both realistic AND ambitious.
Anticheat software, sure that’s what it is. Totally not a excuse to steal total control of a player’s machine, nope not here

@invaderDJ @Porous_gray_matter. SBCs and their recent popularity show there IS a demand, as well as the existence of the pinephone period. I’m not convinced either. The government, -especially the USA’s undeniably has a vested interest in keeping versatile, powerful technology out of reach for most.
You’re mistaken. Imperialism is capitalism, my friend. War is just easy profit to some. Regardless, tech companies LOVE to work with the state to design products; most motherboards do have backdoors used by the likes of the NSA. So I think there’s a fair case to be made for it being more of a don’t-piss-off-the-government decision rather than scarcity of parts or demand.
Okay but I’m absolutely serious and I bet a lot of the upvotes on that ARE unironic. There is a market for chunky, powerful portable devices -few manufacturers seem to want to cater to that type of customer however, probably because of a worldwide capitalism hegemony that exists to make you as placated and dumb as possible rather than empower you as a individual or something
I want a fucking headphone jack, thanks. Also 3 full size USB ports, a physical keyboard and a inch-thick battery, because fuck you.
Well I only suggest it for sites one has to use, and even then I think it would still show google people are fed up with their shit
*especially! Spoof user agent if you have to.
Me, everyday. Bluetooth just doesn’t offer the same sound quality.
The fediverse cares about Linux and that’s one of the reasons I love it fy. We all should be doing MORE to oppose the world’s most overinstalled piece of S̶o̶f̶t̶w̶a̶r̶e̶ blantant spy/adware, but especially talking about Linux nonstop. It is the last fucking hope for human rights IMHO.
Proton will make almost anything work. There are more than a few different approaches but if you need a gui/simplified all-in-one tool I can’t recommend lutris enough.
I think this marks the true end of twitter. Undoubtedly, some people will literally pay to have ol’ muskys thoughts shoved in their face and get their data collected, see garbage alt-right memes but if he fails, if he can’t even make it a premium-feeling cult experience now… (which obviously his vision, but let’s be real it’s a longshot- he’s only gonna be a clown) I don’t see it lasting much longer.

that’s great to know, these are all the sites I’m aware of atm: https://watcha.movie/ https://fmovies.to/ https://ww8.0123movie.net/ https://www.wcostream.org/ and https://anix.to/
Nah RIP Craigslist personals, it was one of the only safeish places to advertise sex work -imo these services should be state-or-community-funded, free AND respecting of privacy, ideally. Maybe it did need more moderation; but even more so it needed less outrage about the useful connections and exchanges of services it enabled. We should always mourn the old web, sure it was flawed like anything else 20 years ago but it was still faaaaaaar better than the google-ravaged wasteland of today.
