Ever since Reddit killed itself, the only places I really lurk are Kbin (and therefore Lemmy by proxy) and Discord. That's pretty much it.

Whatever happened to Android being FOSS?

You are thinking of beef. The Rich are full of bacteria and parasites and should be thoroughly cooked before consuming.

Actual CSAM, depicting an actual crime against an actual child... or "someone drew dirty cartoons and I'm a moron who thinks dirty drawings are the same as one of the most heinous crimes imaginable - harming a vulnerable child"?

It's just shorthand for "unauthorized access to a digital system". There could be no password at all and it would still count as "hacking". The difficulty of gaining access isn't really relevant, legally speaking.

It'll be fine. Surgery is neat. If they put you under, one second you are awake and counting backwards... and then you are suddenly waking up.

The most important thing is do exactly what they tell you... especially any and all rehab afterward. Take the rehab seriously, because if you shirk it, you are very likely pay for that for the rest of your life.

Because they realize that a huge number of their customers are small indies, and they want to be able to squeeze them - the majority of their customer base - not just the minority of big companies (who are also the most likely to fight back legally).

Just look at how their scheme squeezes smaller, poorer developers way more than big ones. If Unity went by points like, say Epic does with Unreal, they could shake down the big developers… but wouldn’t get much out of the indies.

I’m not sure age is the problem. It’s greed and corruption.

I would also require anyone RUNNING for an elected office to divest themselves completely of all investments and business ties. Everyone running would get the same campaign funding and that is all they are allowed to use. For anyone elected, base pay would be significantly increased. This would naturally allow more younger candidates to both run and be elected, since you don’t have to be a corrupt, wealthy, ancient subhuman to fund a campaign.

I’m with you on the term limits, too.

Do not use any Chromium based browser. Full stop.

  • If you are on Mac, I recommend Orion (Webkit based, but Mac only ATM).
  • For every other platform, including Linux, Firefox.

Honestly, Google has gotten so aggressively evil I'd strongly recommend cutting yourself off from all their products entirely. Consider Kagi instead of Google search and Proton instead of GMail. Other offerings also have alternatives that won't spy on you, steal your information, or treat you like both a criminal and a product instead of a customer.

Agreed. Leftists must not abide the consolidation or entrenchment of power & power (the two are the same).

Tankies justify this, and are therefore garden variety right wing authoritarians.
