Nothing makes me realize I left my glasses at home quite like this post. 🤣

My beelink has been great, I installed proxmox on it. I don’t think I’d trust the windows install from any of these vendors lol

For one reason or another, they ONLY value accumulation of currency. We value other things and they hate that. They only know work and “grinding” and think that because they don’t have love, or hobbies, or appreciation of downtime, or whatever - Nobody else should either.

Eh, if they went imperial they would be subject to imperial needs leading to all the usual imperial problems.

Surprising absolutely nobody.

You’re not wrong, but the underlying traits that make them that way is also what drives them to build FOSS software instead of maximizing their income potential at any and all costs. Meanwhile, most users just suuuuuuuck.

It shouldn’t fall on developers, but maybe the community should normalize finding a willing representative willing to listen to all the hot garbage the community throws at devs and have that person monitor various channels then relay only the relevant stuff to the Dev. Cause as it stands, difficult or not, FOSS devs are working for free and dont deserve the hate they get.

“Billionaire who benefits financially from harassing his employees after hours instead of staffing those hours mad at concept that you shouldn’t do that.”

I’m not in the know so Im not sure if progress has been made in this regard, but traditionally they also have HOURS on HOURS of unpaid time, IIRC only paid for flight time basically.

I started a home server on an RPI running some services with a dinky HTML page on it, I need to start actually posting to it. I’m already not on fb or Twitter or anything, if you want to know what I’m doing go to my homepage loser! 🤣

Because executive order was the only way to get it done - other methods would have required evidence that doesn’t exist. You’re only backing my argument lmao.

With absolutely zero tangible evidence, which is why it was a complete non-starter for four years until Biden lost control of the narrative.

Its not helping Biden not being able to censor information on his part genocide. None of them gave a fuck about tiktok until they told em to take down pro Palestinian content and got told “lulnope”

Capotalism, the best system in the world!

(So long as businesses are propped up with an endless supply of taxpayer funds, political power, and unpaid labor)

Neat, tossed a widget on my home screen!

I live near the projects (no judgement, I had my stint in the pjs) and there’s a dude who lives there who flies a “don’t tread on me” flag. Guess he doesn’t mind treading so long as it’s paying his rent though. 🤔

He recently upgraded it to the “thinly veiled let’s overthrow the gubmint insurrection 1776” flag. It makes me want to drop a note in his mailbox asking who will pay his rent if he overthrows the govt?

Same reason they want to ban TikTok, it’s the only platform they can’t police.

As a Virginian learning coding, this would make my damn day.

There’s a reason the land of the free has the highest prison population in the world by any metric you choose.

Eliminate the right to enslave prisoners and watch our prison/justice system fix itself REAL quick once it costs money instead of providing a free workforce.

The US ““free market”” - Where if you choose not to do business with somebody they make it illegal not to.
