Graphene and e/OS exist.
Problem with Graphene is the limitation of hardware to Pixel due to manufacturers.
e/OS is good, but the missing killer app for me is contactless payment. Which brings Europe back to the Visa/MC problem. Digital Euro could fix this.
US citizen, living overseas. Have to travel to the US for work one time this year, and still nervous about it.
heh yeah, Lemmy gives me old phpBB vibes sometimes
Exactly. It’s like people that move to Bluesky, which is under private control, and then are shocked when abuses start there.
The problem is exactly that social spaces shouldn’t be privately owned and a source of profit. Until you address that, the slop hellsites will always wind up that way.
Yeah, people seeing pictures of children being killed in a genocide and reacting badly is obviously just a conspiracy!
the equivalent of going to rancher’s market
A few more bugs, way less poison?
I mean, the proletarinization of the petit bourgeois isn’t exactly something nobody predicted . . . 
I think the Digital Euro is going to be a better idea long term - taking off the hidden tax of payment processor fees is going to make businesses and people richer.
You misspelled Mossad there
and the obvious foreign control
Yeah, there’s no need for this disproven conspiracy theory. Trump is 100% American, which is why they voted him in again. He’s just the version too stupid to not say the things out loud.
You guys voted him in, twice, with the popular vote the second time. Don’t pretend you don’t own him.
Anyone else ever read Rainbow’s End? Cause this is in that.
Look at you being authoritarian! You must be a fascist!
Hahahaha this shit is why nobody goes to your birthday party.
Fedora workstation can be a real nice no trouble install.
Personally love to add pop-shell extension to GNOME - if you use big monitors, it’s an awesome autotiler.
What you’re doing is no different from when the literal fascists say “You can’t just call anyone who disagrees with you a fascist!” I don’t. I call fascists fascists.
Actually it’s not. Because you’re calling people who are left-wing fascists. So either you don’t know what fascism is, or you don’t give a shit. Your nonsense about methodology rather than ideology is, per your own statements, meaningless.
And if you’re about to
You really do love playing with your little strawman dolls, don’t you?
If you’re incapable of making that distinction
No, your thought is just confused and stupid.
Have fun with your gymnastics to justify your defense of the status quo. Your arguments are just “nuh uh! tankies bad! everyone I don’t like is tankies!”. So nothing of value is lost when I block you now.
Tankies are fucking assholes, fascists are fucking assholes. Both things can be true at once
Yeah, because you disagree with two things doesn’t make them equal. You want to bitch about tankies, go right ahead. You want to claim they’re equal to fascists, you’re doing the same stupidity liberals do with their horseshoe nonsense, and for the same reason - it lets you take the status quo as a best of all worlds, since anyone who opposes it is obviously an evil authoritarian asshole.
they think anyone who isn’t on their side is on the opposite side
I’m not a tankie, yet you keep referring to me as such. So.
I was criticizing tankies for accusing Mamdani of being a fascist, which is a ridiculous assertion on all levels
It is. You’re also pretending some schizo posting is an article in Pravda, which somehow still exists and is the party line. You make a strawman of what tankies believe, then claim anyone who disagrees with you is such, and pretend that’s not equally ridiculous.
I’m not so fucking stupid that I think communists and fascists believe in the same ideals
The terms you use certainly imply that. So you should probably stop doing that if you don’t want to be considered stupid in that regard.
Cause I totally invented the term “red fash”
Oh, don’t worry, nobody’s accusing you of actually putting enough thought into things to invent that.
Lenin killed a bunch of communists after they beat him in an election
The bait and swtich of “all power to the Soviets” to “ummm actually the Party is the people” was actually Trotsky’s particular bullshit, but since the Bolsheviks took it, they own it.
so tankies gobble his dick
And you consider everyone who doesn’t swallow your particular brand of ineffective purity a tankie, it seems.
I don’t agree with plenty of things from the Bolsheviks - the critiques of Luxembourg I think were particularly apt and prescient. But, with that said, I also don’t let my very basic disagreement with that justify alliance with something far worse, the capitalist and fascist forces that the left as a whole opposes. And nonsense like “red fash” does exactly that. And usually seems to follow the Parenti phrased criticism of only allowing respect for revolutions that fail. You’re validating horseshoe theory, the most nonsense liberal rewriting of history.
You want, you can go kill all the Bolsheviks you really want to after the revolution. Until then, it’s the same counterproductive and idiotic posturing that the Stalinist for Fashion idiots demonstrate, except with a black flag instead of a red one.
I use OSM when possible (Organic maps). When not, I use HereWeGo, which will often have listings OSM doesn’t yet
Worked as an American consultant for the Dutch government in IT, can confirm this absolutely. It’s a case of finding private companies to funnel money to instead of actually creating capacity, all because of the incorrect illusion that the private sector is magically efficient.
My unofficial advice to my colleagues while leaving my posting was “stop hiring people like me. Spend the money on developing good internal devs”.
