As we push more average Windows users to Linux, we need to be prepared for these users to download and run completely untrusted code.

1000 single family homes is a lot. That doesn’t include multi-unit buildings like apartments.

Corporations shouldn’t own any single family homes.

I don’t want to make perfection the enemy of good here so if say this is a step in the right direction to introduce some level of control. But it needs to go much further than simply restricting the totally number of houses they can own.

Honestly, civil forfeiture has as much legal protection as qualified immunity.

I want to see democratic AGs actually do this.

A lot of GOP guys that want to bang AOC are thinking that as a conquest and not out any feelings that sex would require.

In other words, if given the opportunity to assault her, they would.

It goes perfect with the conservative mindset: I get what I want and get to suppress and treat you like shit.

I’m going to push back a bit here. Because people say a lot that there is no resistance and, to your point, there isn’t any impactful resistance where it matters.

There is a world of difference between people who want to fight for what is right and people who are willing to die for what is right.

The reason we are here is because we have plenty of the former and very very little of the latter.

I do not say this lightly because I fear we are reaching a point that unless people are willing to risk their lives, we will lose our lives to fascism.

Huh…The Oatmeal is still making comics.

Tribalism has been with the human race since we’ve had literal tribes. Not being racist, in comparison, is relatively new.

Not trying to justify racism but pointing out that the reason why decent people aren’t racists is because we learned that basing hatred on intrinsic qualities in a person is stupid and we should cooperate instead of oppress.

But there are people who just want to oppress.

Million dollar scam idea: sell MAGA hand makeup.

Along with cankle socks.

I’ve been a developer for decades. I’ve contributed to FOSS code and do a lot of my own development.

I just want a desktop that works. No fuss.

Yes I could compile my own x11 (and have) but I would rather spend my time doing my own shit than trying to stand up a new VM for some edge issue I’m having.

Just…just give me a UI I can use.

It’s why I use Ubuntu.

This is key. And it shows all along the rules are meant for peasants like us.

Not for the ruling class.

I have so many questions. I guess I never viewed as “tankie” as left.

Hell, I consider myself far-left to the point of being a progressive, almost to the point of being an anarchist.

But my reality is rooted in actual facts.

I feel like you’re just here to piss into the wind.

Do you hear people screaming to disable the extension frame work or devtools?

No?

If you don’t want those features you can compile your own version of Firefox and remove them.

But lots of people are anti-AI. And there are people willing to provide a browser that keeps it out.

If you want it, have at it. But don’t piss on people just because they don’t.

But…I can hate gays and trans people right? Because that’s why I voted for him.

Oh and because I want to be openly racist.

If there is one force you can always count on is democrats snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

“If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism; they will abandon democracy.”

Also, “That’s just locker room talk.”

These statements are often made in the same breath.

“If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism; they will abandon democracy.”

I think people like rationalizing their behaviors so that they don’t seem weird. When really they are just being themselves.

Behaviors become mental illnesses when they start to affect other parts of your life. Organizing your books by color is unusual and quirky, but not a mental illness.

If you can’t leave a library because you have to organize their books by color, then it’s a mental illness.
