I’m saying I want to make a difference by helping to break the hegemony the country I was born in has on the world. I dare say the only people who would call that a bad thing are specifically the sort of people I absolutely fucking detest in this place.
As a unitedstatesian engineer, reading stories about escaping the infuriating (and now, very obviously caustic and manipulative) US monopoly on tech infrastructure companies makes me want to move to the EU and help break the monopoly on that shit. There are other things that make me want to move too, but the opportunity to build some real alternatives that diminish US hegemony over… well, everything, is frankly more than a bit enticing.
That’s… not a great development. Physical intimacy is generally an important part of most relationships.

x86: it’s easy peasy
arm: asahi is where you need to go, and the most recent chips are not really very well supported
lol yeah that’s not gonna fly in court. You can’t unilaterally make tectonic post hoc contractual adjustments like that. Or, you’re not supposed to be able to. But who knows these days.
As to the choice between gnome and KDE (desktop environments): Gnome is gonna have more of a ‘macOS’ vibe, while KDE is more of a ‘Windows’ vibe.
Look into Peter Thiel. He’s one of the most influential and strategic players operating in the shadows of the regime, and he’s been at it for well over a decade - probably closer to two. And he is one heinously evil motherfucker - personally, I consider him to be an enemy of humanity in general.
And that’s why you validate serverside, not clientside, kids
But also, sweet little utility!
I mean, yes and no. Most of the userbase is that way. But there are some users (and instances) that tend to be massive pains in the ass. So build and curate your blocklist too.
How did they squander being the name in autonomous vacuum devices…? It’s kinda baffling tbh.

Mine won’t, because she hates that shit at about the same level that I do.
In my own circles, I tend to counter this by employing radical honesty, being extremely data driven, and calling out bullshit extremely aggressively whenever I possibly can. It for sure alienates people sometimes, but the people who are alienated tend to be the people who are also psychopaths, so I genuinely do not care about that “drawback”.
It damages my calm on a daily basis. Our society rewards sociopathy. It’s that simple. And I fucking hate it.
You can tell by the way it is!
Ok well this deserves a closer look. Might slap this on a spare laptop and give it a test drive.
IMO they’re less bad than a lot of American outlets, but they’re by no means perfect. I use them as one input of many.
Put another way: there is no single source of news that I would ever trust 100%. Observing the patterns and trying to get a handle on the bias that any particular event is being spun with is frankly far more useful if you want to actually understand the nuance and context of current events.
Of course, if you’re just looking for that dopamine hit of intense emotion/scary things/daily hour of hate, enjoy MSNBC or Fox or whatever (I straight up do not trust pretty much any TV-focused news org - pretty much all of them seem to have devolved into overt propaganda operations, some of which are more obvious than others).
I do think there’d be more than a few mutinies and refusals to follow orders all across the board. Perhaps even to the level of the president trying to nationalize (for instance) the Minnesota National Guard, and their commander responding with a hearty “fuck you, eat shit”.
