before I ever install their unnecessary and untrustworthy data-miner
You’re about [current year minus year you installed Win10] years too late for that. That said, if you intend to come over to Linux, it’s probably best to set time-bounded goals for yourself instead of vaguely putting it off until MS does something that crosses some poorly defined line, else you risk having to chaotically abandon ship at the last minute and making the transition much harder.
Flat Earth is exactly tantamount to claiming that ADHD doesn’t exist or that climate change isn’t real – in fact, it’s actively far less rooted in reality than either of those two already incredibly dumb takes.
By this logic, anyone on /c/ADHD has to debunk someone dropping in every once in a while (because it can’t be persistent, but the admins won’t define what persistence is) and saying that ADHD isn’t a real thing. Or /c/climate has to listen to speeches about how the Earth isn’t really warming and this is just like that “fake” ozone scare! (Nah, wait, that’s solarpunk whose administration is actually sensible in this respect.) Or we at /c/vegan have to attentatively listen and refute people coming in and saying that needlessly murdering animals is super cool and good actually (a very healthy thing for a vegan community). All relevant; all asinine.
You mean like LW ToS 8.0 against misinformation? So interesting that as soon as the head admin steps down, this ridiculous bullshit crops up. Sounds like he was holding back the floodgates from the other admins’ worst impulses, like the one a few months ago who briefly overtook an entire community because what they were saying agreed with science but hurt his fee-fees.
And more expensive while you’re at it, thanks.
Luigi did the unambiguously correct thing.
Lmfao, no clue why you’re being downvoted so much. It’s absolutely true that the camel-case here looks like a clusterfuck, even when it’s easily explained.
You recognize that Mastodon, the software, is developed by a non-profit called Mastodon gGmbH?
Who in their right mind would use this bootleg piece of shit when uBO exists?
Tim Cook is Apple’s CEO and is very transparently doing this with the goal of getting favorable treatment toward Apple by the Trump administration. You’d have to be deluded to think this “personal donation” isn’t a bribe on behalf of Apple.
The innovation is in new ways to screw over the consumer.
ProtonVPN.
Referring to a VPN with my price, not private trackers. Sorry for the confusion.
(Also, piracy is just so piss-easy for $5/mo)
… Oh, crud.
Letting private organizations fill roles that the government should be doing is one of the main reasons we have problems like homeless children that need to be solved in the first place. The church has tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars that could otherwise be going toward programs which reduce childhood poverty (and this of course isn’t taxed). Moreover, churches prime people to believe and act on complete bullshit, which is exactly the kind of environment that fosters right-wing beliefs that are steeped in disinformation and rooted in a deficiency in critical thinking. Right-wing beliefs directly lead to poverty. Alleviating the symptoms of poverty via a cult instead of treating it at the source isn’t the right way to do it.
Religion in general fosters these sorts of toxic power structures because it’s based on fucking nonsense.
I wish they would put the official app on F-Droid. I use PixelDroid, but it’d still be nice to try.
