Bilb!

I don’t. They get a nice paycheck regardless and they choose to continue working for a psychotic asshole. You do have responsibility for that choice.

Doesn’t that basically equate to “yep, this is an android phone?”

I hope that’s true, but this is a common refrain with various adversaries used as the boogie-man.

The scam goes something like this: A weapons contractor and military-funded think tank publishes a supposedly neutral “report” or a handful “U.S. officials” run to a media outlet insisting the United States is “lagging behind” in a sector that incidentally coincides with said think tank’s funders or government entity’s interests. Credulous American media mindlessly repeats the claims, everyone acts panicked, treating the warning like a work of good faith, sober and objective analysis. Congress then reacts and uses media coverage to rationalize even more contracts to the very funders of the think tank that raised the warning, further bloating the Pentagon, State Department and CIA budgets. Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat, all the while portraying the U.S.'s gargantuan defense expenditures as paltry and insufficient.

Well, they wouldn’t need to release those changes publicly.

Yeah, my attitude towards this is that if I post something, I voluntarily lose control of it. Post accordingly.

It’s an interesting point that without any IP law, GPL would be invalid and corporations could use and modify things like Lemmy without complying with the license.

I usually associate it more with Intel since they certify Thunderbolt devices on all the non-Apple hardware and that’s all I use. I forgot Apple had anything to do with it.

The phrase “rogue state” to me always just sorta meant “uncooperative with the United States,” which the United States can’t be. I’m sure there’s a more useful definition.

I use it to make all decisions, including what I will do each day and what I will say to people. I take no responsibility for any of my actions. If someone doesn’t like something I do, too bad. The genius AI knows better, and I only care about what it has to say.

I was using the flatpak on Linux.

I loved opera back then.

I wonder if floorp has improved, because people are talking it up lately. My experience a few months ago was like yours, it was very buggy.

Catgirls, jackalgirls, all embarrassing. Go full-on furry.

My AI can do that actually.

I don’t think writers should be paid either. We have AI to do all writing now anyway, so what do we need writecels for anyway? 😏

I’m with you. I appreciate Librewolf for what it is, but to me it’s just annoying by default and I’ve also settled recently with Zen. It has even made me get used to using vertical tabs for the first time.

That’s good, they might have improved. Mine didn’t last a year, but I think it was an earlier version.

It was a few years ago so I can’t really comment on newer versions. But I recall the plastic bottom coming away from the top more and more over time. They don’t manufacture their own laptops, so they are kinda stuck relying on a third party. (Clevo, I think.)

The US government has something of a credibility crisis, doesn’t it? (And I don’t think it started with Trump, though he makes it worse.)

Sounds like an opportunity for someone to crowdfund a privacy respecting cover+chiller package.
