Not sure the hate is directed at him, but at people glorifying him

He's definitely a nerd. He's a very competent guy, no random wannabe would be able to make what he did with bcacheFS (and apparently extremely boastful about it?), he's just very weird. Also he's an open source dev, I doubt he's trying to gain money from all this. Again, just a weird guy imo

Those are still external services. I didn't mention them because they carry the exact same risks

Okay, having followed the bcacheFS drama I did suspect I'd hear from that guy again but now that's unexpected

TWP dumps your pages to google translate, no thanks. FF is on device

I don't care much about whether gnome is customizable, if people like it then great, but I hate how they're forcong terrible patterns that often break other DEs (window decorations)

I guess, but even without talking about forums, even a subreddit would at least be publicly accessible and searchable. Using discord is effortless but antagonistic, at least a subresdit would be both effortless and in the service of the public.

Sure, I'd prefer an open source self hosted platform, but I'm hard pressed to find anything worse than discord

Nah thanks, I'd rather have bots than rely on a total lack of privacy

There also are Zapatistas who are currently anarchists (they don't describe themselves as such though)

Nah

• CLI is relatively consistent, UIs keep changing; documentation on how to do X will be outdated extremely quickly and unlike CLI those changes aren't documented nor searchable
• GUIs are straight up not documented, you can't know an option exists unless you stumble on it
• Even if the GUI is explicit enough to count as documentation, you can't search a GUI; the CLI documention can be searched for keywords
• You can't automate GUIs if the need arises

I'm not against GUIs in general, but they should always be supplementary to CLI, otherwise you end up with windows

This might be relevant for following ICE around or direct action, but at this point there's almost zero personal risk from attending something like a rally or a march.

No. If the data exists at any point, then a future threat will be able to exploit it, so full on nazi style fascism might not be here yet, but when it is, you'll be in danger. Data can sleep forever before it becomes a threat.

I agree
