Yup, just need a van with ICE on it, and someone to sneak in and hide that the fake ICE will find and now you also have a reason to take that rich person's phone as "evidence" as well so they can't contact anyone for help.

Heck, if it's a particularly daring gang, they could then "arrest" said rich person, and get them to tell you the name of a fellow rich person they can contact to post "bail" for them by paying to a virtual bank, then transferring that money to foreign banks to them convert into a cryptocurrency, to get even more money.

Says the person who has only responded to actual data with propaganda

Better name too

After a significant amount of time. Longer than Brave's blunders. And rehabilitation is not erasure. Likewise, murder enough and society will consider to instead remove the person from society as well instead of rewarding them.

That's a really concise and thoughtless way to excuse Google, Microsoft and Apple for monetizing spying on every person on earth for profit.

Nice strawman you got there. I think anyone with eyes can see I didn't bring them up because most (all?) Lemmy users know Firefox and its forks exist.

And yes, Linux distros have a business model. I'm happy that distros found a business model through offering official support to corporations, it makes it truly free to the rest of us. It also helps that their competition is very expensive. Will that model work for a browser? What do you think?

That's... Literally how browsers used to work. Netscape was a paid browser. Orion is starting to look into that model as well.

And yes, you just pointed out of possible to raise funds without pulling the shit Brave has, as Linux distros have done... So, congrats on getting the point? A little slow, but you got there.

I'll point out even then violence is working - it's just that the violence comes from the government instead.

You had me until you said "moderate republicans".

That's just a standard Democrat like Pelosi.

Oh, so that means you don't have any issues with people exploring fusion energy. Cool

Not really. You have to provide your own business ID in order to not be charged VAT, and they gets noticed and registered.

You'll have to then explain why the Ferrari, specifically, was a business expense. If the tax administration doesn't think it's a good reason, you then have to pay the VAT anyway.

And don't even get me started on the fucking bureaucratic stupidity that is importation or I'll have to take my blood pressure medication.

Source: starting up my own business in Finland. Rip 25.5%VAT. Fuck NCP.

Leftists don't let Nazis get into power, even if it means dealing with corporatists some more years.

You're not a leftist. You did nothing to avoid the farthest of the right-wing from gaining possibly absolute power. You did nothing to keep things leftward, or even center right - you just allowed the fascists to take over without a struggle.

You're not the resistance, you're not a helper, you're not leftist; you're nothing.

So, I don't know as much as you do, but I'm wondering; if it's that bad, why did it ever get popular? It's not like people who write/program/maintain/deploy Linux aren't usually very knowledgeable. They're usually experts and computer scientists. It seems to me, at least, if it's that bad, it would have never been adopted so widely? Is Systemd pulling a Microsoft and bribing people or something?

It's funny you think there will be legitimate elections in 4 years. I mean Republicans are already pushing ways to give Trump a third term. So like, congrats on having Gaza screwed even harder while simultaneously throwing away any semblance of democracy?

At least the corporate corrupt Dems gave a small window for changing things democratically while not screwing over Trans people in the USA as well.

By abstaining you allowed the greater evil to prevail, not prevented any evil from occuring.
