You ask for anarchy without realizing that anarchy is what the rich fucks like elon really dream of. A world without governments where their exclusion from any obligations to society and legal responsibility can be institutionalized.
And then we have true, official neofeudalism.
I feel very sorry for the beggars where I live but also hate them with a passion. I can’t go for groceries without two or three hawking the entrance to the store, ready to barrage anyone who looks mildly compassionate with sob stories.
Worst I got taken was by a young woman who looked very in need of help, asking me to buy some food for her family. Gullible me thinks alright, I can spend 10€ on some kitchen staples so these guys don’t starve over the weekend, and took her into the store. Woman proceeds to absolutely stuff her basket with expensive meats, brand laundry detergent, diapers, to the point she literally can’t carry the fucking basket any more. Cost me almost 120€ in the end, about 6x what I spent on food for myself.
Ever since then I will immediately recoil from anyone asking for help beyond the “classic” sitting quietly on the ground with a cup in front of them, because my scam alert has been readjusted in a bad way. I suppose I resent the woman more for destroying my compassion than for the money she tricked out of me.
Why the fuck are there so many people in this thread trying to argue that a Chinese government sanctioned OS is a good choice?? Are you all insane?
My point merely was, and still is, that people shouldn’t recommend CCP bullshit over windows out of some misguided “brand loyalty” to Linux. Yes, windows is a poor OS made by a for profit corporation, aiming to make money off their users.
Now why the fuck would anyone conclude that instead of those “only” greedy pigs, a government that doesn’t even represent them and most certainly doesn’t have their best interests in mind, should have a native snooping feed built into their daily driver?
Especially when there are more actually free and open linux distros to choose from than there are colors in a rainbow?
TLDR: Windows sucks, I agree, but literally recommending government spyware over it is batshit insane and entirely antithetical to the free and open ideology behind Linux. And all the people responding to me seem to conflate arguing against ccpOS with arguing for windows.
Are you saying a corporation seeking profit and a hostile nation seeking global hegemony are the same level of evil?
Also, I dont use windows either ffs. Thought that was obvious.
Zero reading comprehension. I am not a windows user myself as I said, and would happily recommend virtually any other Linux distro (aside from the fact that I am at best a novice when it comes to the various differences) over windows.
But not one made by, or at least greenlit by an autocratic regime that actively seeks to gain influence abroad. People shouldn’t use fucking red star OS either.
Ah yes, a dystopian government OS with direct uplink to the thought police is much less of a security risk and convenience loss than a by all objective measures reasonably working and widespread OS with broad compatibility, just because the latter is made by a for profit corporation, MICROSOFT EVUL GUYS AMIRITE
I’m a Linux user myself due to the hostile practices of win11, but get some perspective ffs
He’s remembered as a figure who wanted to kill all of Parliament
and return the nation to an absolute monarchy.
I dont understand how he can possibly not find worthwhile things to do, he is the richest person on the planet. He can buy virtually anything, do anything, change anything. If he fixed just one of the deeply urgent issues the planet and its people are suffering from he would be a beloved global hero just like he wants, but no instead he is a fucking dipshit on twitter.
Well yes obviously nobody can prevent the recipient from taking a picture of the screen with a second device or writing down manually what the message said.
No system is foolproof, but those features are definitely miles ahead of anything meta provides, since they dont actually want those chats to be encrypted. They want that data, it is their business model.
Pretty sure the more user / privacy friendly options prevent screenshots or copying from an encrypted chat, and also allow the participants to delete their messages after they were read or even a set time.
An older german pop rap group named “Die fantastischen Vier”, often abbreviated to fanta 4.
Wtf is that event name? That is possibly the most convoluted way to write “disability awareness day”.
Why is carcinization suddenly being referenced so much?
It isn’t that you can’t say things, just certain parts of “the message” are illegal. You can’t deny the holocaust for example or call to sterilize immigrants
People got depressed with the constant (us) politics barrage and jumped on a cat picture post, then started to post their own cats.
Also, cats are possibly the only thing on the Internet that rivals porn in popularity, so lots of upvotes and OC posts going around
You see, if you fix the chainsaw ripcord to the bazooka and then fire it you can use the propulsion pull to also start the chainsaw during launch
As someone unfamiliar my first impression was that this guy really enjoys taking dumps, not that he wants to get fucked in two assholes at once…
Slower inflation doesnt mean more money, it means less loss of money for longer.
To actually revert the hyperinflation since covid there would have to be a years long deflation happening.
Not saying he is an anarchist, just that he wants anarchism. So he can become the new state.
