You realize that the same people saying what you described above, are still saying that he was charging at ice with a gun and he had it coming

I know you are pointing out how hypocritical and racist and misogynistic much of the US is, but they literally have no morals, red lines, or any actual convictions and every time someone else is killed, it didn’t effect them so “it was lawful and the other guy is a terrorist who had it coming”. You can go on any corporate social media and see it all over the comments from boot lickers.

Lol, if that were true, they should be shouting from the rooftops because after this, people will be scrambling to get guns when an occupying private military starts executing civilians on the street.

Are you naive enough to believe the surveillance OS that uploads literally all of your activity along with screenshots of your desktop doesn’t automatically upload you keys no matter what little box you tick on the installer?? 😂 there is absolutely not one single 3rd party auditing that they actually follow any of the options at all that they give.

That is simply not true.

Here in the EU we have chat control trying to be forced through every year for mass surveillance and targeting like Spain targeting catalan independence movements.

Palantir is starting to expand into the EU and american fash-tech companies have been lobbying hard and giving money to fascist parties across the EU. Musk gave unprescidented money of AfD fascists, for example.

UK has been getting more and more fascist for years, they have had mass surveillance for years and have been arresting people for simply attending zoom meetings supporting a country being killed off en-masse. Palantir literally just landed a £240 million deal with the UK government

We don’t have an ICE problem yet. Neither did america 10 years ago. It is being pushed HARD here to create an ICE problem.

Almost Nothing.

US had <0.2% conviction rate of war criminals, <1% of "major war criminals. Look it up, <200 convicted and actually punished of 100,000. Fascist war criminals is one of the lowest prosecution rates of all time. Very safe criminal activity apparently.

They gave many of the Nazis jobs, land, and positions in government and the UN. Nuremberg was a complete joke for publicity.

If US history is anything to go by, they will get off with 0 consequences. Just like WW2 and the civil war. The US needs a significant change to deal with it, like trial-less minimum life in prison for all ICE agents or it will be literally the same shit cycle of fascism.

Mariadb got bought by a private equity strip miner company late 2024, so it will probably be mined for every enshittification possible before thrown on the garbage heap like every company private equity has acquired before it.

(It always takes a few years of inefficient planning before private equity starts rolling out enshittification)

“Here in Denmark, we want homegrown European corporate-driven mass surveillance of all civilians.”

Glances at ChatControl

There is a small important distinction.

It is because there is no proprietary e2e encryption by default exclusively while communicating with others on tuta.

E2e encryption for 99.99999% of emails is via passworded pgp that everyone else has and uses or not encrypted at all. I have tuta for years and have yet to send or recieve a single encrypted mail that is the reason that they can’t have a 3rd party app outside of tuta’s own advertisements I get served.

It is vendor lock in. Pure, plain, and simple.

Wouldn’t be as much of a problem if their client wasn’t so bad. No auto moving messages as far as I can tell, absolutely horrid search functionality where I can type the sender email word for word and it will find 0 results, and just having almost no productivity or inbox managing features in general

It’s funny, i use both. Work is Windows, Linux at home.

90% of troubles literally come down to what you are used to and expect. I have had hundreds of problems assisting with company IT that I never would have had on Linux. People just ignore it or write it off as “expected”, but when something they doesn’t work on linux, they go crazy and say that Linux just doesn’t work. Windows has just as many basic functionality things that don’t work, if not more.

Linux isn’t perfect, but work is being done to fix it, where in windows, the support tells you to fuck off, try the only 2 GUI tools they have, then enter random command line commands and if that doesn’t fix it, fuck off.

Examples:

• Searching in the start menu literally won’t return the program if the program doesn’t start with what you are searching instead of simply “contains” like every other search on earth

• File search in fundamentally garbage on windows compared to Linux (both GUI). Not to mention that until last year there was no option to find where the fuck the file was in windows without ending the search and having to start the search over (hell on network shares). Luckily it has gotten better

• One drive forcing itself as default, sync problems, losing files, etc… That often has to be fixed through powershell. Not to mention lying to you that files are synced when they are not.

• Teams silently installing a random DLL that causes teams to bootloop endlessly, no resources online about it until last year late where you had to manually console command your way out of it via powershell

• Microphone completely just not working at all. No possible way to re-enable it via settings, control panel, manual controls, registry, etc… It wasn’t broken. Microsoft secretly disabled it in the background and you had to install the old version of the audio troubleshooter because their new one is AI slop and it would say “oh it was disabled, I will re-enable it” when literally every single other tool in windows said it was enabled and working fine. This was a problem with >10% of people. Again, the GUI wouldn’t fix it until you downloaded a sketchy old version of a troubleshooter.

• installing windows without internet working. They are making it almost impossible, actively. Literally the single most basic thing

• Microsoft office being layered on top of each other all in one gigantic pile because one font was installed from a path that it didn’t like this brought PowerPoint in my old company to a halt for days

• Font blurring when moving windows between monitors (especially PDFs). Linux doesn’t have this problem that I have seen. Windows fonts look like smeared shit after dragging them from screens of different sizes

• If one single file has an issue in one single office project e.g. a warning dialog open or a frozen excel window, all office programs are no longer able to be closed, and often even interacted with. That is like the basic of the basic of having multiple program instances open. I have seen unorganized people with 10 excel instances open literally have to restart their computer because no office windows will respond enough to even find the problem instance

• Update hangs and failures are a daily occurance in windows. I haven’t had an update fail for years in Linux and when it did, it said “this is why” where windows just says “try again” and keeps failing. Basic basic functionality.

• pathing are the worst thing ever in windows. You have import library after library to get windows paths to work in different codebases where in Linux it just works.

• windows and printers… You know how everyone has problems with printers? Yeah, a lot of that is from windows shit printer drivers. With Linux, I haven’t had a print job fail in years. In windows, sometimes it will serially send a PDF to the printer, corrupt itself, and balloon the 10MB PDF size to 10GB and overload the printer until you have to hard reset it.

• windows constantly resets your printer settings in word, even after you manually set printer settings in the OS. How many times people have printed double sided because auto-switches back after you change it. That is so basic.

• SVChost or “system interrupts” eating 60-90% CPU for minuten on end where there are no programs running, making everything work extremely slowly and lag all over the place with no way to fix it.

• not going to sleep. Windows sleep is so damn broken ever since they fucked with sleep levels. My new work laptop will literally sleep and turn itself off after a few hours (only if it is plugged in) so I have to unplug it before leaving. My old one with the exact same power settings works fine. Not to mention with modern sleep, laptops will just turn themselves on in a backpack and overheat and dump their battery to 0 for no reason. Windows had sleep right in 7 and then decided to completely break it all and increase power consumption 100x for 1s faster wakeup times… In Linux. If you tell it to go to sleep, it goes to sleep and doesn’t wake up until you wake it up.

I could go on for an hour, literally.

These are very basic functionality that is critically broken or hot garbage and just works on Linux. Again, there are tons of things wrong in Linux too like other users have mentioned, it comes down to the problems the individual user is used to having and living with.

People are learning to deal with a different set of broken things and problems while not seeing the previous problems they had to deal with invisibly just work (because that is how the human brain works).

Kvaesitso is my favorite so far after using KISS for years. Simple, but very polished! I like the clean home screen with favorite bar and searching with a few taps, or scrolling the full app page.

No, it truly isn’t. They don’t care even about the illusion of competancy.

They literally illegally gave technofascistass surveillance execs high ranking positions in the U.S. military with zero experience or training just because they got paid. They gave vibe coder teenagers full access to US social security. They put an alcoholic white supremecist in charge of the whole military.

They will replace prosecutors with maga loyalists that maybe completed 1 year or law school and those prosecutors will do a horrible job (just like almost every person they installed in the past decade) but the important part is that when the time comes for the “pro quo”, they do their part and become yes men.

And yet again, the democrats will, with corporate cum still on their lips, do nothing, even symbolic, as is tradition, even when they had the power to do something.

Cheese and cold cuts (maybe besides chicken/turkey cuts, but especially anything salami or sausage related) I would argue are not healthy. Better than the worst of the worst like ice cream, desserts, and candy, but it is just saturated fan + saturated fat + a small amount of protein, zero fiber, and not many vitamins or minerals.

Very tasty, and fine to snack on in small amounts, but literally any edible plant, nut, fruit, yogurt, legume, or even things like granola or protein bars have much more nutritional content.

Well, no because this means all the people with some form of independent thought and morals will be gone and only psychopaths and sociopaths will be left, who are the actual trash.

This is also why all the fucking electronics companies in the EU only going through american distributers and having their own damn webshops from and EU company ship from the US is going to cripple one of or most important industries when shit hits the fan. Looking at you STM, Nordic, and uBlox!

We have 3 large distributers in Europe: UK, Poland, and international (UK and Belgium) and yet only a tiny tiny subset of older parts are sold from there while the american distributors are packed full.

I mean, immich is still awesome and as far as anyone can tell, nothing has changed.

Giving money to immich isn’t giving money to FUTO as far as anyone can tell.

The immich developer also probably didn’t have the resources to do a deep dive into FUTO before being sponsored, so they likely didn’t know.

I also use immich and I will continue to do so, but it is just something to keep in mind.

They have been under constant Russian DDoS attack since it was announced (what a coincidence).

They need to put out like 100 torrents and file shares in different locations

Except the 51% owner of the block chain can overwrite the ledger and billionaires and hostile governments have all of the computers to do it. This has already happened multiple times with smaller coins IIRC.

Block chain is essentially just the techbro version of capitalism (not an alternative, a recreation). If there are distributed companies and enough competition, the system works pretty well, but when everything centralizes as has inevitably happened everywhere, the rules all get thrown away.

I got told off a while ago when immich got funding when I said that FUTO seems quite fishy and I didn’t believe that there were no strings attached with immich. Everyone said “oh they are just a great open source grant org” when I questioned where their money came from.

I feel a bit vindicated they they are just another tech bro’s philanthropic project with a habit of supporting and platforming fascists.

I am interested in learning which american peaceful protests have been successful that were not backed by force in the past 10 years?

Actually what american protests at all have been successful in the past 10 years at actually accomplishing their goals and not settling for 1% of their goals as a “compromise” for the theater?

Maybe we can extend it to 30 years or 40 years just for fun?

This is the best comment of the thread.

So many people are nitpicking his post or criticizing the platform that he shares it on (let’s me honest, linkedIN has a much wider impact than the fediverse if something “goes corporate viral”). People deserve to be compensated for their work.

We shouldn’t be mad at the devs trying to make a living, even those who have different views about what open source is. We should be banding together against the companies who’s entire business model is based on theft and abuse. New anti-AI licenses specifically, techniques to poison AI data baked into every repo, class action lawsuits against companies, etc…

Once Universal Basic Income gets implemented and you don’t need to be paid directly for your work to survive, then we bicker incessantly about the finer points of the real definition of open source.
