And you both are oversimplifying by putting the christian zionist nutjobs within the same basket with the vast array of other nutjobs and assume that they are all the same.

Centralisation and large scale has it’s benefits. There were also many problems with everybody hosting their stuff by themselves. Enshittification is results of private companies having to go profit first (and google being google of course), not so much because they are the only game in town. Being the monopoly merely enables the shitting on users for profit. I see youtube and many google services more like internet’s utilities that are privately owned and that is causing problems, not that they have gotten so big.

Every social media that isn’t under anglo american control is a possible threat to the current global order. We have all seen this.

The project is open source so it would keep going, at worst case people could fork it or whatever. They would just lift up one of the maintainers to take Linus’ job. I don’t know how this would apply to the Linux foundation, but I think he still would be replaceable, it’s all designed that way, because IT sector wouldn’t have all it’s eggs in one basket that might break if one guy leaves or dies.

Well the requirements for government IT stack is really more about security and reliability than performance.

The real issue is that these companies are purely for profit and couldn’t give a flying fuck about any negative social implications of their product. Every Le bad thing about any service is just down streamed from this reality of society.

It’s not some break towards fascism. It’s more like liberal capitalism has always had a fascist tendency and right now the western elite feels pressured everywhere so they let the mask slip and start easing in the policies of the periphery back to the core, just to keep power. This chat control is there to both allow easier crackdowns, but most of all make everybody feel that they are being watched and are less likely to start any shit against the status quo and submit, as if in a panopticon.

A very vocal minority is using it, and only because Musk changed the moderation rules on X. Otherwise Twitter was as shit as it has ever been

I haven’t tried FreeCAD in years. Has it improved much?

As if haven’t know for a century that immune system has the ability to both form memories and problem solve, that rivals the brain. The body being able to adapt to external stimuli isn’t anything groundbreaking.

In few years we have moved from nonsensical Musk worshipping to nonsensical Musk hating.

I have sometimes replaced white wine for mushroom risotto with apple-cider vinegar, water and sugar mixture.

If you mean that the Trump also stands for those things like genocide, then sure. It still didn’t make Kamala any more likable.

Feels like there’s an increasingly strong idea that racism is ok as long as it’s targeting at undesirable people, as if that’s a new concept and isn’t how racism has always been justified.

To racist it’s always justified and their target deserves it. It has never been any other way. Same with any other kinda hate and dismissal. They will always deserve it. I do a shit take, anybody who thinks it shit think I deserve the hate and ridicule. The difference is just that black man can’t stop being black, but an idiot can recant their words. The logic behind them is always the same.
Aren’t there also fanatical kamala supporters that unironically think that Kamala was the only way and anybody who thinks otherwise at least deserves to be called an idiot or maybe even deported or other things done to them. That is what it does when one falls into the idea that their deeply held subjective worldview is actually the objective truth, especially things that are fundamentally passionate and subjective like politics. From there it’s not a very long leap to think that if you are objectively right then everybody else is just wrong and they are either ignoramuses who are unwilling to be thought nor can be reasoned with, or they know the truth but are full of some malice and act against the truth anyway because of some selfish or dark reason. Both cases will logically lead into escalating violence against those who you disagree with, once you have crossed that bridge form subjectivity to objectivity. Even in things like democrats becoming the thing that many blamed the republicans were when they start to feel pressured.

Not discounting it that her gender had something to do with the result, but come on. As if she wasn’t also a genocide supporter, a political insider, held a high position in a government that oversaw a period with economic hardship for many people. Also she had an charisma of a house plant, likability of a piece of two by four and ran on a campaign that’s main message was “I’m not the the other guy”. But yes her being a black woman and people being misogynistic and racist was the main issue.

Not that I care, but nothing gets fixed if people hold these ridiculous analyses of why she lost. It will be the same mistakes done after every four years.

A human might not be, at least not a very simple one. Humans as a group however are.

I’m not an American, nor is this video an argument about any policy or voting or not voting. It’s about mathematics of elections.

His definition isn’t bad per se, but it really hinges on his own subjective worldview. Also terrorism isn’t an ideology, a way of living or a faith, it’s a way of fighting and imposing political change. One can’t separate the cause and the method and the judge people merely through their methods. Despite the word “terrorist” being a synonymous for bad person, the concept really has no moral undertones by itself (“one man’s terrorist… etc”). It really does boil down Netanyahu saying that he and Israel are good, moral and righteous, therefore anybody who opposes him and Israel are wrong. Really despite what they are doing. If Hamas were throwing flowers and slogans at IDF and settlers all this time they would have been just laughed off and genocide would have just continued, but more silently. If Hamas’s method of fighting was to surgically destroy IDF and Israeli leadership, then he still would be bitching about it too as immoral and vile.

And I know I’m giving this rat too much credit here, when we all know he is a professional bullshitter hell bent on genocide to save himself. That is all one needs to really understand.

What pisses me off the most about NAFOids is the absolute and constant pettiness.
