Right, except Linux runs on 40 year old hardware, and it could run on any Apple device if they weren’t an anti-competitive cartel and we didn’t live in corporate dictatorships masquerading as “democracy”.

Planned obsolescence

Sure, mods will always be necessary when it comes to public/untrusted comms, but just like I don’t want my telco or email provider to decide which/when my TRUSTED contacts can contact me, the same is true for the rest of their speech.

You’re analogous to someone in 2013 arguing that the solution to facebooks crimes/corruption/censorship is to migrate to whatsapp…

Jumping from platform to platform, server to server each time is a bandaid solution which is not censorship resistant, especially against some totalitarian oppressor, and benefits hostile actors the most; fracturing groups into smaller and smaller bubbles. A real fix is a solution (e.g. protocol) that enables users to view a single person/entities/orgs comms regardless of what any middleman decides. The users trust should override anyone else’s.

What happens when the lunatics own the media and social media? Let them remove all evidence of genocide and corruption? Just accept the insanity and authoritarianism?

Although true, the existence of mods is an attack vector the criminally corrupt will always exploit, and every anti-authoritarian should not oppose these systems because they’re currently exploited by the corrupt.

Fascists are buying up all media and social media explicitly to silence opposition, control the narrative, and propagandize (the thing they claim everyone else is doing to them, while being the most blatantly criminal of perpetrators).

I can’t remember the specific protocol, but the one I saw which was most interesting relies on you subscribing to individuals, and building trust through that “social graph of trust”. It’s best to view it as someone owns a domain and you’re subscribing to their rss feed, except they’re identity is cryptographically verified, and the people they engage with have more weight in your feed than those that don’t… as opposed to whatever some technofascist algorithm, oligarch-beholden journalist or corrupt mod (who may very well be a paid operative) deems valuable or worthy of your attention; basically mimicking the way people build relationships in real life (without third party oversight).

Wait… You’re telling me that people born into extreme privilege and wealth turn out to be self-aggrandizing, egotistical, sociopaths who drastically over-estimate their own importance and contribution to society?

My world view is shook!

Sounds like the problem is people leaving plugs lying on the ground? Otherwise known as user error.

Cool beans 👏

brew list --cask

I think they’ve started flagging unnotarized apps as (deprecated), so maybe do a brew info on each.

1000 tabs obvs

There really should be a focus on government-level efforts in the EU, to force mobile manufacturers to standardise and open source all firmware sold in its jurisdiction. All OSS mobile OS’s (not on custom OSS hardware) rely on Android solutions because mobile hardware is bespoke, closed source, and non-standard from device to device; the opposite to the PC ecosystem that enabled Linux. The Apple/Android duopoly won’t be broken if mobile hardware vendors can continue creating custom closed-source firmware for their hardware, and there’s simply no reason to allow this anti-competitiveness to continue.

9.5 years is ancient in smart home devices.

Though, any company that stops supporting a device should be legally required to open source all dependencies required to operate it, or provide a full refund.

This is how public money should be spent. Every dollar spent on proprietary code is money wasted. Every dollar spent on public code benefits every other country, org, and individual who runs that software. It reduces the cost for everyone, in perpetuity, instead of enriching some sociopathic technofascist and their oligarch investors.

This is why I switched to ZFS with sanoid+ syncoid. Any breaking update or data corruption can be rolled back, giving you the freedom to auto-update with minimal risk.

And if you roll all your dockers on ZFS as datasets + sanoid you can just rollback to the last snapshot, if that ever does happen.

Ever heard of relevance? That is something you would use once on setup and rarely ever again. 99.99% of the time you want to just open the app.

Because we live in corporate dictatorships with the illusion of “democracy”.

Wait until you find out how most regulations are enforced by “self-reporting”… the honor system, lol.

They’ll commit every evil imaginable if the reward is profit instead of retribution. There is no bottom.

Capitalism would sell children to pedos… Just ask Trump and his best friend Epstein.

It’s like people who manage their tasks by simply writing them down on paper…

You fucking what!?! How am I supposed to manage hundreds of tasks with a piece of paper… They won’t fit. What if I lose the paper? How do I filter the tasks by location, date, time, or any other context? Your ancient methods are pure insanity to me.

Psych! You thought you were gonna get star trek style utopia, while we’ve been descending into fascist dystopia for several decades!?!
