This is what forced me onto Linux for the first time, and permanently.

It’s partly great, mostly fine, and 10% of the time god damn fucking annoying. Mostly having to learn the fucking game of thrones factions of installing things.

But I don’t feel like there’s a piece of shit company in my computer trying to completely ruin it, so it’s a win. The positives outweigh the negatives, even as someone who wasn’t really into the idea of switching.

But even if it was half as good, it would still be an improvement, given Microsoft destroying itself.

Collective action from the bottom up, across the world. It’s the only game in town.

If you’re not sure how, step one is “don’t scoff like a fucking idiot”.

My cat purred at me and it was heartwarming until I paid attention and then it was fucking infuriating

Step one is being qualified to recognize the difference between being informed and being cynical.

Donald Trump’s dick is small and it drives him crazy, and Elon Musk is such a fucking dweeb that even with billions and billions of dollars, he still can’t be even slightly cool.

We should be able to select different fully open source algorithms from a drop down menu, and load custom ones from fediversealgorithmmenuwithdescriptions dot org, including “no algorithm”.

I assume that’s like a billion hours of work, but, goals.

1. It isn’t misinformation.

2. Someone like this board member being a traitor to his species isn’t covered by “opinion”. No normalizing nazis. It’s such a low bar. He couldn’t clear it.

3. He blasted his treachery over the public airwaves. His privacy isn’t being violated.

This whole comment feels like an exercise in using all the best words to miss the point. We know, as does this probably-lying board member, that Republicans are only going to go more authoritarian, and the only reason they would pretend to care about big tech abuses is to grab the steering wheel from them to commit far worse abuses. No company that gets into bed with traitors is going to become the new center of my digital life.

Tuta for email, syncthing for photos bc I’m not self-hosting, mullvad for VPN.

Someone’s unwillingness to implement an effective solution doesn’t make an ineffective solution the answer.

The way forward on this is hounding them until they implement it, not fighting the math:
