I don't want to defend capitalism, but the bottom panel depicts activity that is technically very illegal in the US (but antritrust laws have not been enforced by the FTC since the 1980s, barring a few short years in 2020s under Lina Khan).

Capitalism definitionally requires competition, without it you have... something even worse.

It takes some doing, but you can live boot windows from a USB drive for those rare instances you need it. You can also just install it to a VM inside Linux (also not easy). But honestly these days the times where you'll NEED Windows are few and far between (and getting fewer and farther).

This is the best thing I've read in weeks

My unpopular opinion is that while the 2009 Enterprise does not look at all like the starships I know and love (more) it is definitely doing it's own thing in a unique (and tonally consistent with the Ambramsverse movies) way that I appreciate.

The design language for those films is a sort of 2010's retro-futurism that just lands really well IMO.

Yeah but I think it's childish to complain about movies "might as well not existing" if you haven't even looked for them.

LOL yes I try not to speak like a FOSSite when talking with newbies. "Arch Linux does not yet have an adequate solution for the hammer problem (when your computer is hit with a hammer) so I can't recommend it."

Elite Force is where it's at but Klingon has it's place for sure.

Don't get me wrong I am a huge fan of Piefed overall. I think you misunderstood my second point a little, I don't want to be "exposed to new things" in my social media per-se, I want to read my chosen subscriptions (with my chosen social groups) and move on.

I see the "issue" of "divided" communities coming up a lot. But to me, the variety of perspectives and moderation styles on the same topic is a major benefit of the Fediverse (to the point I might describe it as its greatest strength) especially when it come to non-technical or social topics like politics. For example Lemmy.ca users are going to have very different perspectives about US politics than Lemmy.us (hypothetically). I'm not sure that it benefits those users to centralize the discussion (not saying that's what's happening exactly but it is something I see come up a lot).

I have a LOT of notes on this that will eventually be turned into multiple c/DaystromInstitute submissions.
