i love how there is sasquatcharchives.com like of course there is.

they bribed their way into a monopoly that can effectively shut down any alternative that isn’t sponsored by other rich companies, like linux.

they can make it as shitty as they like.

tech companies are the ones pushing the ad based model. mainly google, whose main source of revenue at the time was selling ultra-targeted ads.

he’s been caught cozying up to fascists. i think he took down the most damning tweets where he publicly praised trump.

we already had a browser based consent system called “do not track”

its not about the tech to say no. its about getting tech companies to respect our consent or lack thereof.

proton is owned by a fascist. avoid shit owned by fascists if you can.

better capitulate to the nazis, we wouldn’t want them to be angry.

i think wlroots does something similar too?

it would be neat if it supported the windows uxthemes like reactos.

it does look like reactos windows but better. damn, i wish i had the skills for such a project.

might be good for the potential switchers who need something very similar to windows, old computers that need to brainlessly run win32 software. deshitified windows for those who need it. normies orphaned by win10 who are not ready to learn linux headfirst for any reason. and all open source so you can actually trust your os.

this is what foss enables in spite of purists and copyrighters alike. i like it.

it IS a wonder. i’m actually pretty curious how they accomplished this.

like i know how they harvest our data to figure us out, but i’m a computer guy. the psychology of brainwashing that sophisticated must be crazy.

and there will be a couple saying “que que eu te fiz 😟” unusually loudly.

have you tried abolishing capitalism?

especially with google about to block freely installing any app on android

grok is this content

then do something. the fascists certainly are.

don’t forget medical debt and gun violence.

there’s usually translation or transliteration for foreign names and we use them instead. sometimes. it’s like nicknames, sometimes it catches.

a lot of people use the proprietary software not because they necessarily like it but because it’s industry standard and we have to since they cornered the market.

i personally only switched to linux after i left the field. photoshop ran at the time but it was janky enough i couldn’t do the work i needed to do with it!

i’m pretty sure orca slicer is native on linux.

not only huawei. heard of another one like this too, but they are making server stuff still too.

i figure the consumer stuff will come when these are consolidated and they get extra fab capacity.
