  • For one on ChromeOS I can run whatever Linux shit I want with their compatibility layer.

    Have they announced that they’re removing the Linux compatibility layer? Or you got that from the comments too?

    Aluminum OS is going to be a locked down like Android is when your carrier locks it down and doesn’t allow users to get root on their phone. They will have an app store with all approved apps on it. Google is currently removing the ability for people to side load apps on their phones (not that most people do that anyway). They will do this on this OS too.

    And you know this how? Did they also announce it? Or are you saying this because it shares code with Android? Instead of speculation, we have a real example with Apple. iOS is arguably the most locked down mobile OS, but you can still install whatever you want on MacOS (even literally installing Linux). You are assuming that an OS based on Android (which is more open than iOS) will be more locked down than MacOS.

    I need you consider the average tech illiterate person who will use this OS and unknowingly have all of their data get silently sucked into Google’s orbit. Google already does this on Android…they want to capture what you do OFF your phone now on other devices too and control it.

    So Google is not collecting data on ChromeOS? Otherwise why even mention this.







  • A disabled service will not consume any RAM. People just look for excuses to hate on it because it has AI in the name.

    First it was that it would consume 4GB of RAM in the background. Then that it might reserve the memory just in case. Now the issue is that even if it didn’t, it would make the binary larger lol.

    I sure hope you also complain about all the disabled drivers that ship with your Linux kernel.













  • This is just blatantly false. The US is a fascist state.

    This is actually insane. Why would you want a visa to visit a fascist state? I guess they applied for a visa just to have it and never use it? You don’t know what fascism is. You have never seen fascism and should be grateful you haven’t experienced the horror of an actual fascist state.

    The govt is deliberately destroying the US and they know full well anyone against fascism is not trying to destroy the US.

    How exactly are these people with revoked visas anti fascist?

    The US is no longer politically about the nuance of belief between right and left, but about fascism and anti fascism.

    It’s been like that since the early 2000s (it used to be nazi and anti nazis, but I guess they realized how stupid that was and downgraded it to fascism), funny how that works.

    By the way, all of this fascism stuff is unrelated to the topic at hand (both the US and Australia have the right to deny entry based on just not liking what you said), so I’m not sure why you even brought it up.

    Saying Charlie Kirk was a piece of shit who literally got what he asked for is very different from Candace Owens attempting to spread fascism to Australia.

    Different things (I’ll assume you are right that Owens is a fascist because I don’t care enough to check)? Yes. Are both of them grounds for denial of entry? Also yes.


  • That’s almost like saying landing on the moon or Mars or the Sun are the same because the craft isn’t landing back on Earth.

    Cool example, but that didn’t even make sense.

    There is a heck of a lot of difference between a working commentator being held to account (in a country that doesn’t have the same free speech rules anyway for anyone) and holding a vacationer to the same when they are not earning an income from their comments and the country does say that political speech is free speech as a major component of their Constitution.

    The US Constitution doesn’t apply to visa holders outside the US.

    I’m not sure if you are arguing that the US no longer has a Constitution that applies

    If you can quote me saying that, yes. Otherwise I don’t know why you even typed that.

    or that you ignorantly thought Australia had the same Constitution as the US.

    Never thought or said that. And like I said before, I actually support both decisions so I obviously think it’s legal under Australian law, as well as under US law.
