It is a point of contention if the spirit of writing an anonymous report while saying any gosh dang thing you want about somebody is in the spirit of ending their career or whatever. DeVault decided it was necessary to shit things up as much as he could /after/ the FSF had made their decision because he and whoever decided that it wasn’t good enough for them.

Nope. I already don’t listen to Drew and moved my code and donations from Sourcehut to Codeberg. You can do the work of cross referencing his claims, if you’d like.

Its Drew DeVault. After his agressive and frankly unnecessary smear campaign of RMS where he took as much out of context as he could, and not being that much better himself (https://dmpwn.info/), I feel like any hot take the guy has needs to be taken with a grain of salt. If he doesn’t like something, he crusades.

The problem with this arguement is that you can’t explain ephebophelia without sounding like a fucking pedophile

I think they meant Misskey

There is also a group of people who cannot take a joke but I mean the people who would scream/yell, shame you, criticize you or call you a Nazi just for having an opinion you don’t agree with or so much as catching a whiff that you can’t yet empathize with their problems. Threats and acts of violence.

You know it’s the youth that’s tipping the voter’s scales by in large because they’re not able to rationalize other people’s emotional damage including those of wing influencers and left wing doomers and blow hards.

You agree? Do the work, or your the problem. Disagree? You’re a Nazi. Wanna just live your life? Complicit Nazi.

There’s a thing in criminology called labelling theory. It transcends the idea of criminality. Combine this with a strong thrust of financial hardship and you start sinking ships

Hate to burst your bubble but far left sound and act like violent facists and helped pave the way for the far right. They do sound the same. It’s the moderates that actually want everybody’s needs met.

I tried to find the binary blobs in Signal for android but it looks like a Kotlin app to me. Maybe these were there at one point but were removed later, who knows.

Come to think of it I’m surprised that we can say “no Google play services” but in the same breath support MicroG as if the client apps have anything to do with which version of Play Services they support.

Sorry but F-Droid allows many apps that use “undesirable” networks and services but for no reason that I can see snuffs out the one wholly supported notification system on literally all android devices. Its plug and play. Its got no place in the “Free” part of FOSS but it’s still intentionally more challenging to get around.

Apparently the packaging requirements for F-Droid are more challenging than just “must be open source” and aren’t for everybody.

The “no Google Play services” alone are a non starter for many apps. My preferred messenger, Signal, is plenty open source and runs its own notification daemon, but cannot be found on F-Droid. I have to get it via Obtainium instead.

Why waste time when few words do trick?

Aw man, they own a home too? 😅

Would is the hypothetical polite request. Will is the expectation that I’ll do it. They are more interchangeable than my being capable of doing it.

For the love of god just ask me if I would do something rather than ask me if I can.

Yes, I can pass the salt. But WILL I? 😑

Get a pixel. They are less expensive, especially at last year’s model. Way less vendor bloat. Easiest device to deGoogle, ironically. I’m running GrapheneOS on a pixel 7 I spent $700 a couple years ago. Get your freedom while you still can
