You're really not wrong; but I come from a people that prioritize grace and patience-- or at least, our elders claim to. Some of what I was taught erodes slower than other subjects ig

Y'know what radicalized me? Watching cops skate the prosecution damned near every time they lynched a Black man, woman, or child. That's how I learned Jim Crow is still alive and well. That's how I learned this is no democracy, it's a fascist oligarchy that sacrifices its subjects-of-empire to the false gods of the Market.
This is why half the time, my posts end off with 'death to Amerika'-- because there is no way to reform a slavemaster.
Cracker there is a hard-r at the top of that post history. You deserved it.
Overpriced, locked down hardware, walled garden software, and a snobbish userbase. I simplify it all down to "I'm not paying 500 more dollars for a logo."
And this is why if you MUST take your phone somewhere "important", you leave it off until it's needed-- preferably battery disconnected, if your model still allows you access. Location data can blow an alibi just as surely as it can make one.
So what, "intellectual property for the megacorps, not for the end users"? Tfu. I spit on that opinion. If you're gonna slob robber baron low quarters, at least wipe the polish off your lips before you come talk to us
This kind of shit is why I keep telling people to thoroughly divest in every way from Meta. They're just going to keep doing shit like this.
Ahahahahahahahahahaha damn I'm so happy I retreated back to GIMP and Paint.NET.
Is the evidence of your eyes with every new Meta acquisition not enough? Is what happened to XMPP not enough? The last twenty-four years of technological history is littered with these robber barons embracing, extending, and extinguishing everything that competes with them, and you're gonna ask me for journalistic articles WRITTEN BY THE SAME FLUFFMEISTERS THAT SOFTBALL THESE ROBBER BARONS????
You're a fuckin riot.
Paywalled article; nuke it and move on unless there's either an archive link or a rehost on somewhere that doesn't cater to capitalists
Simple: kick out Meta. There is no solution in which you take in anything of theirs and they don't take that a country mile to extinguish your shit. Or have we not learned ANYTHING from the era of Silicon Valley neofeudalists buying up everything with even an iota of soul and murdering it just to make a point?
Wish I could empathize, but I refuse to trust a car I can't fix myself. There's entirely too many computers and entirely too many points of failure-- it's a good thing that I'm medically 'advised' not to drive. I wouldn't be able to switch over until someone released an EV with the kinds of home-maintainability that like. A 60's Mustang once had.
I'm not tryna have to have the shit towed to a Firestone-- or god forbid the manufacturer themselves-- just to have to pay hand-over-fist to fix the errors borne of their shoddy fuckin work.
