It’s sad how astonished I am to read about this. It’s weird enough that there are some countries that require the news to present factual information, but to require truth from politicians seems way too right to ever become a real thing.

LOL

Sounds awesome.

Same.

I actually keep a small amount of TP in my briefcase for when it has to happen.

Might have been a bad idea to just let the bots run rampant on his platform.

This is a great thing.

There need to be material consequences for Nazism.

Yup.

My last flight a year ago was so bad I’m just going to drive from now on. I don’t care if I have to take an extra day of PTO.

I’ve been on Linux Mint for two weeks now AND I LOVE IT. It feels like computing from back in 2010, just the way I like it.

That’s definitely going to be a problem for them, yes, because it’s also going to drive a ton of traffic to Linux and Linux is going to get even better.

Glad to hear it!

For me it’s been hit or miss. I’m fairly tech savvy and able to work through things with the info on Proton DB, but I’ve had several games that just simply weren’t compatible.

Respectfully, it’s not.

The user departures, and response to further enshittify, have driven their stock price into the ground.

Yup. It’ll depend on how they handle Recall at the institutional level.

It’s a given that hospitals and law firms will have to turn it off, as they’re required by law to honor privilege. We’ll see what choices they make.

I find the nosedive in Twitter’s stock price these last few years encouraging. It seems for many there is a red line.

That’s usually what I think too, but after watching how Twitter’s gone to shit since the two big user departures, I think this could legitimately affect Microsoft’s bottom line.

Same, doing what I can within my own little slice of the world.

I actually switched to Linux Mint two weeks ago and do 95% of my computing on that OS. (And ANYTHING requiring privacy) I’m a gamer, so I opted for a dual boot, and the only thing I use windows for is playing my games now.

Nice!

I did not, though my facebook is deleted now. I just got sick of how it was making me miserable every time I opened it, so a year ago I nuked it.

I still have an instagram for my business, but once I have Cara up and running, I’m going to delete all the content there as well.

Don’t just sign a petition.

Delete your facebook and instagram.

They say that every election year.

After watching how similar business practices torched Twitter, I think this dude is underestimating the general public’s commitment to just sail the high seas.

Yup. All the big guys will enshittify.

Luckily, there’s Linux and you can use Brave or Firefox.

That’s the thing.

You used to be able to count on Democrats to fight for social issues, at least. The Dems we have now are only concerned with increasing their own wealth, and that was very well-evidenced by their response to the Roe vs Wade leaks. Do you recall their response? They used it to fundraise and did nothing else. ($80,000,000 was the cost of your rights to bodily autonomy, in case you’re curious.)

And now 2/3 of the states will get away with criminalizing abortion within another year or two, tops.

I remember when, in his first SOTU, Joe Biden mocked the Defund The Police movement, and called for increased police funding, even though the police are overtly fascist in most of the country and we all had just watched them proudly execute a man in the streets.

Now he’s sending more bombs to Israel.

If you’re telling yourself the Dems are the answer, I think you’re just asleep at the wheel here.

There’s no ‘want’ to it.

They already have. Idaho got away with criminalizing abortion, which means 2/3 of the states will do the same next session, just like how 2/3 of the states still allow for you to be paid $7 an hour.

In the absence of a true opposition party, the wolves are feasting.
