In fairness, that might actually work if he were a corporation. "Lol our bad we declare bankruptcy and 'restructure' after fucking over our creditors."
Ok, so here’s my newest phobia. Happily driving along a bridge I’ve crossed over a thousand times before, only tonight I’m suddenly in the dark waters below!
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill on Monday that will prohibit children younger than 14 from joining social media in the state. Those who are 14 or 15 will need a parent’s consent before they join a platform....
Except that most support groups use mainstream social media to coordinate. Just because the information isn't important to you, doesn't mean it isn't important for someone else.
As someone who does not have Meta or X or Tiktok, I can confirm that you absolutely need an account to access most everything. Even Reddit seems to be going down that road.
A politician whose only concern is getting elected will use power to remain elected regardless. A politician who believes in a cause may actually have a few morals.

Larian is one of the best things to happen to Faerun in quite some time. Hasbro is hands down the worst thing to happen to both Faerun and D&D in, well, ever. Larian showed us what Faerun can be. Handing the reins back to Hasbro is understandable but I weep for Faerun.
Democrats are meddling in Ohio’s Senate GOP primary at the 11th hour to boost Bernie Moreno, the candidate former President Donald Trump endorsed to face vulnerable Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown....
The real issue here is that this has been a strategy of the DNC for years. As much as they'd like to deny it, they are responsible for the rise of Trump and extremism. But we'll be asked to pretend that didn't happen, again.
When you endorse racist fascists to win, you're no better than those wh osupport them.
And Democrats are "merely" authoritarians who 1) have colluded with fascists for decades to secure a duopolistic stranglehold on power, 2) have endorsed many of the same positions, historically, 3) place power above all else, including risking lives by boosting the cred of a literally insane psychopath fascist so they could win in 2016, 4) share many of those fascists views on privacy, personal security, freedom of expression.
Democrats only look good when compared to fascists. Is that really the best we can do?
The DNC leadership isn't brainless and I never said they were. Theu know exactly what they're doing: Promoting fascist opponents as a core strategy. The Clinton campaign did so in 2016, so they share responsibility for Trump. Them's facts. That the rank and file aren't outraged (and indeed excuse it away) suggests that its more about team victory and less about anything else.
You're going to see a lot of issues on Linux boards because people go to then for help. I've been running Linux since 2020 and though there have been hiccups, its been remarkably reliable. Having said that, when there ARE issues, it can take some digging to find answers.
Is it not stable
Moreso than Win 11, in my experience. I use Win 11 at work and I've needed a system wipe twice. Once because networking just... stopped... and once because appx apps decided not to load.
Ongoing issues
Plugging PopOS as a good "set and forget" distro that is easy to grasp. The workflow is very MacOS and the tweaks they've made make for a friendlier interface v Ubuntu, IMO.
Vouching for PopOS, which has been my primary OS for years. The only thing I run a Win VM for is the old Forgotten Realms Interactive Atlas & Campaign Cartographer. I suppose I could tinker with Wine, but it tends to be finicky with the latter.
I was a system admin with a focus on Windows for many years. The idea that Linix is somehow more issue prone hasn't been true for years, especially for end users who aren't tinkering. I've had more issues with an enterprise install of Win 11 this year than I've had with PopOS for the past 3.
I use PopOS for work. It has been many times less error prone than Windows. I introduced my partner to it. They're tech aware but not an admin and they love it.
It tells us a lot that you'd rather a people suffer under a regime where women are little more than slaves versus a flawed but functional democracy. I suppose I should not expect anything less. L
In short i just jumped into the whole Mastodon blocking drama and am somewhat disappointed to see it as childish as reddit’s power mod drama. Accelerated by the fact that a Limit/Mute option exist just fine, i wonder why Block/Defederation is an option at all. It only moves power from the user to admins without anything in...

There are plenty of reasons, but ultimately the idea is that instance owners choose who to associate with and users (if they allow them; some instances are private) can choose whether to be on the instance.
Federation is open in the sense that anyone can create an instance and connect. The intent was never to force everyone into the same pool.
"Admins" are only local admins. Their scope is a far cry from Reddit or Meta admins.
Is this the same system they use to slow down basically everything at AMS? Like seriously, that's the worst, dirtiest major international airport I've ever had the misfortune of having to use.
Calling people "Anglos" as if their race somehow defines their worldview is racist. Expressing concern because an application with alleged ties to an authoritarian regime is sending data to an endpoint within said regime's borders might be silly, but it has nothinvg to do with race. With respect, that right there is some Israel "pointing out our human rights atrocities is antisemitic" level of bullshit.
World systems theory woukd suggest that the inner core should have shifted in the 21st century to include at thd very least China. Western powers may have been dominant in the mid to late 20th century but that is decidedly no longer the case; China fits every metric offered by the theory.
I doubt OP meant that anyway, given that their statements were directed at individual actors and not national powers.
Regardless, expressing concern because an app that both has ties to an authoritarian regime AND is effectively banned in that regime is understandable. Screaming RACIST at anyone who dares criticize China and calling them Anglos is both ridiculous and racist itself.

Just left reddit because I got tired of moderation and I do not agree with political views over all. I never tried 4chan because I heard it’s messed up and supposedly inject maleware on visitors like porn sites do....
If it were up to me, I would see the Republican party dismantled. Were I a member, I would vote for it's dissolution. But thing is, they can nominate whoever they like, including a fascist psychopath. That he's second most likely to win is a direct result of GOP and DNC collusion.
Or you know, vote for someone who wouldn't support it in the first place...which you could do if the DNC didn't collude with fascists to keep alternative voices silenced.
