On behalf of teen me and adult me, fuck off

I unspoofed Librewolf back to Firefox + Linux. That way I’m not contributing to Chrome and Windows market share and perceived dominance. Plus the more people don’t spoof, the less of a need there will be to actually spoof at all as the Linux market share increases.

Yes I do

So the evil mega corp gets a free pass while the Internet Archive regularly has to fight for open access to knowledge. Fuck that and fuck Meta.

Amazon had also appointed a former NSA director. Actually, it was Snowden’s director.

I mean…

I admire your conviction. But in that case we also have to consider how your right to move about freely is being affected. If you feel like you need to choose not to travel when you want or need to travel, how will you reconcile? Do you weigh and choose the lesser evil? Seems like you just end up violated one way or another. I don’t like it, not any of this.

Lemmy, and I’m never going back. I just wish we had the abundance of content that Reddit does. There’s a lot of communities I miss.

It’s not just European elites who are afraid of upheaval. It’s all of them. It’s one of the reasons why they all have bunkers, why Zuckerberg is building another one in Hawaii recently. They know that we can actually do something about them because we outnumber them by a lot, so they build these systems of control. Governments, corps, elites have all become noticeably more brazen in the past several years.

Yay, crimes against humanity!

I spent too much time with corpo brain rot to give linux a chance on desktop and realize it’s how I’d always imagined proper computing would be. It changed my outlook on the world when I finally did and it’s liberating (much libre. Very wow). Glad to see more and more people catching on to the possibility of a better future.

Also Arch is far less functional than windows. I switched back.

I tried Linux from scratch one time and found it less functional than Windows so I switched back to Windows. Why would Stallman do this to me

It’s not going to get better. I nuked 10 and switched to Linux permanently around the Windows 11 launch. My only regret is not switching sooner, like around Windows 8 times.

I don’t use ChatGPT and host my own models ✅️ I don’t use Reddit, I use Lemmy ✅️

I agree with the dystopian part. It’s not a warm and fuzzy feeling, this feeling. A feeling that’s too common for my liking these days.

What we cannot do is move the lever out of position.

This is what I don’t understand. We built the damn lever, the train, the tracks, and tied the people to the tracks ourselves, yet apparently we cannot do it again and are forced to pick between only two positions on the same lever which would kill the least amount of people because… why? Even if you believe yourself to be helping by voting for the lesser of evils, if you take away the fluff you’re left with your one true action, which is still ultimately choosing evil.

There are plenty of people aware of this sorry state and who want proper change yet we continue down this road time and time again as things get progressively worse. I really don’t understand. It’s insane to me.

Hosting pirate scripts for a Microsoft product on another Microsoft owned website is… interesting.

Gnome devs to Gnome users: get gnomed you gnomes

I’d rather meet sexually pursue Nikola Tesla

Remember the NSA director back when all the Snowden stuff happened? Keith Alexander? He joined Amazon’s board of directors in 2020. Not to mention Bezos is a particular fan of the DoD and was on the Pentagon’s advisory board.

Why anyone would trust Amazon is beyond me. And I don’t like feeling so damn watched just for walking down a street with a bunch of Ring cameras. I can’t believe it’s so normalized to constantly watch your neighbors with a corps eyeballs.
