Randomly, I don't know how the left can seek out to beat anyone who looks Asian up in case he's Andy Ngo, and claim Asians are basically whites and they need to be oppressed, then pretend they care about violence against Asians.
I guess it should be obvious they don't believe anything that they say...

Woo! My earthworm Jim 2 comic is in the mail!
Doug Tennaple is someone I fundamentally disagree with on a lot of things, but he keeps the preaching out of his books, and I'd like to return to tolerating people we disagree with.

I played with sailfishos a little too. it was also very nicely set up, but I don't think I had much luck installing desktop apps, and to run sailfishos required running a really strange and unstable dual boot setup that pretty quickly destroyed itself.
I've been playing with all sorts of Linux distributions on a nexus 5 I bought for the purpose.
So far, Ubuntu touch works really well and the interface is really well designed, but I feel like you're replacing one cage for a other. You're meant to be in their ecosystem. I couldn't get a web browser to run in either libertine or anbox, and their store is pretty sparse.
Plasma mobile was broken and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't unbreak it. The install scripts didn't work out of the box.
Postmarketos has high points and low points. It is the only phone is that will let me natively install desktop apps, but on the nexus 5 any environment using the Wayland environment crashes shortly after startup. XFCE and mate work reasonably well and didn't crash, but they're not mobile centered to the point that I don't see how you'd use them without plugging in a keyboard and mouse.
At this point, I think the phone I'm using is the limiting factor. I think postmarketos is where the interesting stuff lives right now, and without a phone that's a bit more compatible, I won't be able to play with the most interesting stuff.
In the few glimpses I was able to see of a mobile Linux distribution, I like the potential. Phone CPUs and GPUs are fully capable of running full power desktop Linux programs, and I think they could be largely usable with minimal tweaks. Companies keep on assuming that convergence will be into the mobile space, I think the more interesting convergence will be mobile platforms becoming more like desktops. #foss #mobile #ububtutouch #postmarketos #linux

@malin I'm not hating on the article, but rather the horrid people who want to knock a guy like Stallman down because he isn't "nice enough".
I lost it at the one person's quote that they definitely would have for sure contributed to open source, but they just weren't nice enough.
Sure, there are ways you can have advantages, but especially for the past 25 or so years, the information is out there. Nobody programmed in the little industrial town I grew up in, but I managed to make some games and utilities and I was even able to contribute to the community I was part of online. Nobody needed to know I lived in a little industrial town where nobody programmed as long as the code worked.

These losers who refused to participate then after all the hard work and risk is over come back and say "I would have done that except" are trying to rewrite history. All you need to contribute is the know-how and a computer. Nobody needs to know you're a man or a woman or a trans or a gay or a straight. You're a few characters on a screen and the code you create. You don't even need to contribute to projects you don't like if you don't want to, you can create something completely different if you want.
I can't be the only one who grew up this way. I'm not some giant open source developer. I've never contributed to the Linux kernel or KDE. Regardless, growing up the computer more than anything else didn't care who I was, who my parents were, who my friends were, how much money we had or didn't have. If you understood and followed the rules of how the computer works, you could do really cool things.
The only ones who don't get that are people who are used to special treatment and who are upset that the computer doesn't care about the reasons why they deserver special treatment.

@jeffcliff @waltercool To be fair, most right wingers aren't right wing authoritarians. Most of the people who I know of who plonk themselves on the right are there because of the explicit liberalism and anti-authoritarianism.
@Breaking911 If only it was a federated instance. Imagine how much that would redefine the game?
@pluralistic If the federal government did its job as enumerated in the constitution instead of trying to do everyone else's job, then cities would have a lot more resources available to do good things without having to beg the federal government for some of their money back.
If communities had to balance their own budgets, then the unimaginable suffering that all Americans will face imminently when interest rates inevitably revert to the mean could have been avoided. Instead everyone treated the federal balance sheet as something somewhere else nobody needed to worry about.
More tax dollars than not will soon be going to wall street bankers. It won't be because of some plot by said bankers, it's going to be because people assumed the federal government could be all things to all people and nobody was ever going to have to pay for it.

Oh geez, I've been adding all sorts of people to my feed who look interesting, I almost forgot the world we live in.
Look, as far as anyone who considers a nazi to be whoever they say is a nazi, I'm a nazi.
Make life easier for yourself now and just block me, because I have absolutely no tolerance for that particular strain of violent fascism.

@collappsar @alex It's like any taboo. Once you take away its power, people lose interest. What people who are allegedly woke are doing seems specifically calibrated to make the things they claim to care about worse.

The scariest thing about censorship is that if it works the people who are censored don't even get a chance to scream.
Did you know about this? I didn't.

@SirSpencer "While it is true that Biden fell on the stairs, we don't like it so we'll say what we want."
Really pathetic.

I ended up going with MXRoute for my email. they had a lifetime email deal that was right up my alley. Then I read this:
https://mxroute.com/what-happened-to-mxroute-social-media-accounts/
With the lifetime deal I guess they've got a customer for life, but this only makes it an easier sell for me!

@josh Most asian countries have a mutual agreement with the USPS and other postal services to deliver the last mile stuff free of charge. That's why you can get so much stuff off of ebay for free, because the chinese postal system is heavily subsidized then the USPS doesn't charge for home delivery.
Anyone aware of a good email host that'll let you pay for like 10 years of service up-front? #bigtechalternatives
Anyone who believes the mainstream media that there's all these hate crimes against Asians, I've got a bridge to sell you.
