Microsoft running psyops to keep the Linux community as toxic as possible

You aren’t trying to suggest that experienced Linux users are a bunch of arrogant fart-sniffing a-holes who expressly enjoy gate-keeping inexperienced users by being as condescending and unhelpful as possible?

Well said. It’s impossible to be a free speech absolutist without condoning some pretty heinous forms of human expression. But you’re right that the proper ethical yardstick is whether any meaningful human expression causes demonstrable harm.

Non-sexual nudity is definitely not harmful.

Participation in any community demands some level of censorship or else there would literally be CP on youtube. The problem is that the decision making behind the administration of censorship should be better democratized instead of being decided by advertiser’s attempting to divine the median consumer’s level of tolerance.

I am still using a pixel 3xl and probably will until the battery dies.

I am waiting for the egg shaped phone that somehow has sharp edges and remains slippery when dry.

You can always bring a second controller for redundancy. I would bet money the game controller had zero impact on the failure and I hate all the shade being thrown on this innocent controller.

The game controller is not managing life critical functions, that’s called a computer. The game controller plugs into the computer. The great thing about that is that you can bring a second (or even a third) game controller for redundancy.

It’s just that the engineering choices that caused the failure are difficult to understand or communicate in sentence so the game controller is something any idiot can harp on about and sound smart.

Nationalize Boeing now

I’ve started a Kagi subscription for my new search engine. Basically $6 USD per month but because it’s a user-pay model they have a really good privacy policy and don’t sell/analyze your data.

It’s currently better than Google (which I still use search in the maps for reviews)

Like those ass massaging power chairs.

When I first got to Reddit a front page post was like 1000 upvotes so Lemmy is approximately sorta the same level of users as when I first got to Reddit

I hope the fediverse attracts enough adoption to make it long term viable. I am making an effort to be here more than there for lemmy/Reddit but YouTube is still harder to quit

I happily pay for my email service from Proton to compensate for all the data mining they AREN’T doing to me

I’ve had like three primary email accounts since the dawn of the popular internet in the 90’s

The first was Hotmail because that was a big deal at the time.

The second was google because the interface was slick and it came with (what was at the time) a lot of free storage.

The third is protonmail specifically because after decade+ on Google I realized they pretty much have the keys to the kingdom on my life’s data. All my personal relationships and business being filtered through their inbox for a long-ass time. Just because they “know me” inside out for a significant part of my life doesn’t mean I gotta just keep feeding them data indefinitely.

Some try-hard wants to reinvent the wheel to show what a cutting-edge “disruptor” they can be, but they only succeed in making a shittier version of an already extant product
