Just keep shoving those words in my mouth I guess. Blocked.

Dude can you please stop yelling about “blue maga”? You’re acting like voting Democrat is worse than voting Republican.

Right, because he definitely didn’t also increase material support and restart weapons orders that Biden had cancelled.

… Did you forget how Trump said we were literally going to clean out Gaza and make it into a resort once he was in the office? You’re being very disingenuous.

Do you not realize that Bush literally established the Guantanamo Bay DC? The modern GOP are just running plays from Bush and Reagan’s books.

Vim and emacs are the two most popular keyboard-driven text editors, and are something of a meme in the software world.

Really a better analogue would be tiling window managers like sway, i3, bspwm, dwm etc. but they’re also harder to get started with.

“look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power” meme but with Vim (or really this is a rare case where I have to hand it to emacs since it can basically run a whole OS)

Right and Windows’ direction is so clear and not hype-driven at all

Choosing to produce generic and soulless music for profit isn’t a good reason to dislike a band?

Yeah man, pull that ladder up behind you!

Except what he actually wants is for AI companies to be free to slurp whatever they want, but for average joes to still have the book thrown at them for pirating the Adobe suite.

Aren’t there already pretty specific laws about what amount of a work can be copied before it’s plagiarism?

Yeah this is a big reason why I’m not trying to get back into software dev. It seems like every job not already threatened or eliminated by AI is training or using it.

Have you tried recently? We’ve been pretty much at parity for years now. Almost every game that doesn’t run is because the devs are choosing to make it that way.

I think we all know this, but it’s the exact same argument for Facebook and Twitter and LinkedIn. Getting off centralized, corporate, for-profit cloud services should be a priority for anyone who is philosophically aligned with FOSS.

The books are way better if you care to try.

Yeah SteamOS is nothing special. Any of the big distros can give you a similarly solid gaming experience these days.

I’ve been enjoying Tauon, it does the things I want

No, but that’s a local program processing and saving data entirely on your system. It’s a world of difference from what a web browser does, which is oversee a whole suite of protocols connecting you to remote servers and transmitting data back and forth in requests that build on and reference each other. With the complexity of modern web interactions, there’s a ton of reasons why a browser might need to store your data and share it with others, even ignoring profit-seeking motives.

And let’s remember that the last thing Mozilla got heat for was the introduction of a method to anonymize bulk user data for sharing & selling purposes, as opposed to the granular, extremely invasive tracking that 99% of websites are doing these days.

I see a company that needs to make a decent amount of money in a crazy competitive environment, that’s trying their best to do so in the way least destructive to user privacy and choice.

I more meant that the average user actually wants a significant amount of data collection and telemetry, as part of their normal web usage. There are some true privacy geeks who are actually maintaining near-anonymity on the modern internet, but there’s a lot of people who get riled up about things like this while using Android phones, or signing up for loyalty programs, using corporate social media, etc.
