If it continues like this, it very well might ne some day. One can dream and hope…

Fuck Capitalism, FUCK

So what? Everyone needs to be held once in a while, including my weener. It’s very comforting.

I think the trick is that evil capitalism sells it to you as something you’d actually want. Or a lot of people want. Meanwhile evil communism kinda forces it onto people more directly.

Store all of your private data on some storage devices sitting anywhere in the world and let people manage it you do not know and can not be sure they’re not accessing it?
That’s the convenience of the cloud!

Let some weirdos obsess over your social life, connections, and what you ate for breakfast to sell that data and show you stuff that manipulates you to do their bidding?
That’s the advantage of staying in touch with friends and family over social networks!

Carry a device with you that tracks your whereabouts and monitors each and every interaction you have with it? That’s smartphones for you. But hey, at least you can find your way to the next McDonalds thanks to the navigation and map apps.

Fun fact: death penalty is ineffective in reducing crime rates.

Decades worth of windoofs hate. Finally did the full switch a few months ago. I have been using windoofs for gaming only anyway and professionally I already had plenty of Linux experience.

Linux isn’t great either though and can be a real pain in the ass. Recently had to fix few lines of code in the kernel, because I had no audio. But the fact that one can do it in principle is already a huge win over windoofs. And although some games stubbornly won’t run (stable), a lot do without having to tinker much, thanks to Wine, Proton, and a couple of startup parameters.

Professionally I mainly use Ubuntu, for gaming I did so at first as well but switched to CachyOS recently.

Germany is not the world.

Logging IPs and, depending on country, go for the regulatory way.
That is of course a bit more difficult on platforms like lemmy.

As a last measure, yeah. But people shouldn’t be forced to give up their accounts just because other people are assholes.
