There was a joke in Germany during the war that Mein Kampf was like the Bible. Everyone had a copy but none had read it.

I tried to read it once and couldn’t. If you’re not super into Hitler’s racial grievances and Weimar politics, it’s hard to understand.

Apple products are great. The Apple ecosystem, not so much. If you’re into FOSS computing and FOSS media formats, you’re not going to have a good time.

IDK why you feel that way. But I don’t know you inside and out, like Google or Apple does.

Fun Fact: Thích Quảng Đức, the monk in the picture was not protesting the Vietnam War, but rather the Catholic oppression of the Buddhist majority by the American puppet government.

Somebody got me RBG by Dead Prez for Christmas, and it’s still in heavy rotation.

It makes strategic sense to decouple from American tech now that they know we’ere an unreliable ally. Microslop won’t guarantee your data won’t go through American servers and jurisdictions. It’s also resistance to Tariff wars and Greenland bullshit that pokes the US in it’s conspirator industry, Big Tech.

I don’t think the proliferation of bad press is anything other than a chronicle of the decline of Firefox.

I’ve been ride or die with Firefox since early, and I’ve never daily driven Chrome. But I’ve had to keep Chrome installed to look at the sites that don’t play with FF. Little by little, FF get’s worse, and most of the “worst” these days are features, not bugs. Though their are plenty of bugs. They certainly deserve praise for keeping faith with ublock. And I appreciate that they respect privacy more than Alphabet.

I want Mozilla to succeed. I just remember when Mozilla made the case with the quality of their software, rather than the quality of their ethics.

Gnome get’s up and out of my way. 9/10.

This is a weird way to say that PC tech is stagnated and improvements between “generations” is incremental.

During the active phase of their genocide, Israel got big mad at DWB. You may remember the reports. Doctors who had just come from places like Syria saw an unusual number of small children with single gunshot wounds to the head and torso.

So doctors with experience in war, experience treating ‘collateral damage’, were saying that you’d expect more shrapnel wounds, or for bullet wounds to be randomly distributed on the bodies of non-targeted wounded children.

Zionists denounced this reporting as antisemitic “blood libel”. Noting the long history of Jews being accused of child-murder. Which might be a good point if these accusations were not evidence based observations from reliable and respectable people. Or if IDF soldiers and Israeli colonists were not already credibly implicated in numerous war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

It’s not a reverse solar panel. It’s not a solar anything. It requires a difference in heat…

The solar part is because the Sun is responsible for the heat differential.

What do you call a fly with legs without wings? A walk.

Two men are lost in the desert weak from thirst and starvation. One of them spots something and says Hey man, there is a bacon tree over there! The second man says “no such a thing as a bacon tree, that’s just a mirage”, but the first is already running toward the tree. Just then, a hidden soldier under the tree shoots the first man with a machine gun. As he lay dying, he shouts to warn his friend: “it’s not a bacon tree, it’s a ham bush”.

What about a crazy billionaire who snatches kids off the streets in Florida to sexually abuse with his friends?

Yea, I came here to say Nestle is caught poisoning children? Again?

Trump just tried the same thing with Russia, China, and India and even he admits it was a failure. But who knows, it might be compelling to people worried about the sound of helicopters at 3 AM?

The files are a distraction from themselves.

Everybody is worried about which powerful people will be embarrassed. Nobody is asking: does this sort of thing still go on? Or How can we prevent billionaires from snatching teenagers off the streets?

Because our society only pretends to care about the victims of sexual abuse. We talk about how we hate rapists and pedophiles, but our actions betray the truth.

Windows is being re-written from the ground up to be ‘agentic’. This means that Copilot is not going to be a feature of Windows, Windows is going to be a feature of Copilot.

Oh, and Copilot is going to be writing the code too. Microslop brags that 30% of their code is AI.

If you could reason with gun-brains, they would cease to exist.

Amber Heard was a victim of a violent Depp and his lying public relations barrage. She’s a great example of what OP is talking about, and so is your comment.
