Yeah. It’s becoming clear and obvious that no side in any controversial situation has any morals or virtues.
Essentially, it all boils down to just looking good in front of your peers. If someone goes against the crowd but isn’t breaking any rules, the crowd will legit batter and berate the people in charge until that person is punished for something.
This shouldn’t have been removed, even if I disagree with it.

This one really stuck with me.
Keep in mind, everyone, there are more atrocities going on in the world than what we see in the white-sphere.
If you’re looking for a free VPN, I’ve had good experiences with https://riseup.net/en/vpn
Welcome to the propaganda war.
It’s obvious most of this generation did not pay attention in social studies.
It’s not looking good.
I suspect we’ll see Ukraine concede out of nowhere because of how successful the censorship engine is in covering up their dire state.
I love Filelight. Whoever came up with it is brilliant.
Why do you agree with their censorship and lying?
GPL does not restrict you from selling the software
Oh god, we know.
Practically speaking though, if anyone can redistribute it for free then it’s available for free.
It’s twice the amount you were complaining about, and there are bigger drives than the one I have.
Edit: I just realized he’s probably talking about being stuck on 1tb compared to when we had 1gb drives. Then we had 100gb drives, then 500gb, then 1tb. He’s probably commenting on why we don’t have 100tb+ drives yet.
That’s all I can think of, and my response would simply be there are diminishing returns to the exponential growth of hardware.
So LTS isn’t really LTS.
Glad I switched to Debian.
However, Ubuntu started a service called Ubuntu Pro / ESM that provides updates for packages in universe.
Since it’s all free software, what gives Ubuntu the privilege to restrict these updates behind paywalls and signups?
Pro is also free for personal use on up to 5 machines, so there’s no reason not to enable it.
Fuck that bullshit. We shouldn’t be encouraging or enabling this behavior at all.
It sure seems that way. Their “extended security maintenance” spam says that there are security updates that are only available if you “subscribe”.
I asked the Linux community about this, and didn’t get a straight answer (not surprised.)
It was enough for me to switch to Debian, though. There’s no excuse for updates to be locked behind paywalls or sign-ups in the free software ecosystem.
I moved in with my online girlfriend and no longer needed it.
What are you talking about?
My laptop SSD is 2tb and I got it 3 years ago.
The powers that b really were ahead of the game when they introduced smartphones to the masses (dumbasses).
They were keen to make sure that the upset to their power structure that the digital revolution initially caused never happens again.
I gladly never bought a switch.
It seems like when consoles started to charge for online was a good time to stop buying them.
The useful idiot crowd is too proud to waste their money on bullshit they don’t need to just to line the pockets of executives and investors.
It’s easier to fool them than to convince them they’ve been fooled.
A lot of people just don’t see the bigger picture, and it shows.
Nickserv was always a stupid idea. In fact, calling nicknames “nicks” was always an ill-omen for how poorly conceived IRC was.
The onboarding process for IRC is just too much of a hassle. A lot of terrible, horribly awful design decisions went into it. The few people who use it are too resistant to change so there’s not really a point in promoting it.
Matrix is the replacement for discord, although it still needs work like adding channels.
Could be someone excited to add content to peertube, which desperately needs it.
