Big Baby Thor

They’d rather have a martyr at this point, as he drags their progress down in the dirt.

Critical thinking is the problem they’re trying to solve.

Always remember Lamumba.

OoooOoo~! Collective bargaining! SCAWWY!!!

I’m sure the republicans are pissing themselves and hiding under heir pillows in utter terror.

It’s obvious that domestic terrorism is moving away from white supremacists and neo nazis, because they’ll all be given these jobs to persecute dissenters.

The term “terrorism” has been skewed for many years, but now the legislation behind it is going to be used to build a morals police.

The Trump presidency just can’t stop fucking kids, can they?

I think it’s also important to state that they were dumped by them, not only because of security vulnerabilities, but that after you had agreed to licensing terms inside the desktop, Deepin would download and install packages outside of the open source repos.

That’s some sktechy ass Microsoft tactic right there.

Literal ass storm troopers!

Sorry, wrong framing. I did mean that the deficit increases under republicans and down under democrats.

Every damn time the Democrats take over they decrease the deficit. Then when Republicans take over, they increase the deficit. Then, come the generals again, the Republicans blame the Democrats for the deficit - every 👏 damn 👏 time 👏 - and their voters still swallow it. This is because of several reasons:

1. Voter turnout has been historically low the past decades
2. The Democrats take “the moral high ground” and avoid pressing issues
3. The Republicans go low and lie their asses off
4. The Democrats - AGAIN - won’t press them

The progressives need to dump the moral high ground. They need to say aloud what everyone knows: the Republicans have been ruining the economy for decades. They need to encourage voter turnout and to call the Republicans anti democratic because they want degenerate lowlifes who watch chud streamers to go against the teachings of Christ and turn the US to Russia #2.

The high road doesn’t work and actively empowers the Republicans.

EDIT: fixed bad framing in regards to the deficit.

A high bar compared to degenerate pedophiles, alcoholics and manchildren - comparatively speaking.

Now this is a geopolitical conflict I can get behind.

Suck it, kanuks - ey.

There’s a lot of writing and history behind open source, open firmware and even open hardware, but the BIGGEST thing you can focus on is the transition from PCs to smartphones around the 2000s.

We went from you installing whatever boot loader and operating system that could run on your device, to a locked down boot loader that would only load the vendors operating system.

They hide behind security through obscurity, but it’s been debunked. The boot loader and even firmwares of devices have in certain cases been found to be gushing gashes of CVEs and bad coding - but only through decompilation and reverse engineering. In fact, after the 5 year warranty of your device is up, you should consider the security of your device highly suspect.

The true purpose for an exclusive locked down boot loader is to maintain operating system monopoly, force uninstallable apps/services on a user, to then be able to track & canvas the user to sell on the data brokerage market - not to mention planned obsolescence, because if you can’t freely modify and update your firmware and/or boatloader, you could secure it for more than 5 years.

For a more balanced take and to see “both sides”, read this

Other than that, the LibreBoot mailing list will help you to unearth the hypocrisy and lies fed to us by hardware vendors.

Free the firmware, free the bootloader, free the operating system, free the drivers, free the software - and then the user can decide wether or not they want to run commercial software on top of all this.

Anything else is subservience.

I would like to see some form of federated CI/CD chain, like sending code to an institution for testing and getting a certificate back - maybe as a public service, maybe as a private service.

But that is a long ways off.

The data centers became sentient out of primordial hatred for this guy just to spite him.

It 👏 should 👏 be 👏 the 👏 law 👏 .

I don’t know how they managed to sneak locking a system to a single boot loader. And what about Qualcomm chips? They have a hypervisor OS, you say? A small operating system that can read all your memory? Updated as firmware?

Great, forcibly open source that system as well and tell them once and for all that they can fuck off. No, you don’t get to control another persons property - you disgusting goblin.

Either that, or ban the sale of such devices permanently across Europe.

Have we come far, or gone too far?

“Detroit Motor City”. I.e subsidizing losses.

Of course you could apply protectionism, but that wouldn’t be fair and would set a public precedent on the global markets.

But yeah, the petroleum lobby really managed to screw us sideways. All those anti EV, anti solar and anti wind campaigns.

It is perhaps the biggest, oldest, slowest moving and most fraudulent of bailouts in all of history.

We are just that stupid.

Damn, that’s a lot of condescension wrapped up in misogyny. Maybe stop listening to incel podcasts? Anyways.

I’m just going to address the gender gap issues, because where as your take is anecdotal, we go by actual investigation into the matter - that being unions. Unions consistently find from new members that women get paid less for the same job. They can even be more qualified. They publish these statistics fairly frequently - at least my local unions do, and we can compare them to other unions. You can call that “fake statistics” if you want, but fuck if I trust some belligerent rando on Lemmy more than people actually working for the average workers rights.

Also, i am against circumcizing of children generally - because that’s a decision they should make later in life - and I’m not trying to downplay male circumsission, but holy fuck: do you know how they circumcize girls? Do you know what damage that is comparatively speaking? Men can take circumcission for medical purposes, like having too much foreskin, but there is NO medical reason for what they do to girls. You not knowing that speaks volumes to your ignorance.

Seriously, I skipped the rest because my eyes were rolling so hard at how confidentially incorrect you are. Uninstall the app, go into the mountains, have a cry and deal with your issues - because this ain’t helping you. In fact, it’s only making things worse for you. I was trying to help you find some middle ground, but you wear your bias on your sleeves - and it reads through what you write.

If there was any doubt that bibi is behind the wheel…
