I wish I could put Linux on my work computer.

We didn’t win until I can remove it all from my computer.

People aren’t just rejecting it and staying on 10. They are actively downgrading (going back to windows 10) or leaving the windows ecosystem entirely for Linux. Someone actually went out of their way to tally up and explain all the shit MS broke over the course of the last year. It’s a ridiculous number of things.

There’s a hard fork in the works called Servo. The developers are attempting to hard fork Firefox so that they don’t have to rely on it for updates in the future.

There’s another called Ladybird but there’s controversy surrounding the person fronting it and the fact that they use AI to code it.

More like fining a regular person $20.

It’s very real. This is history repeating itself for the umpteenth time. You aren’t the first, nor will you be the last one to scream into the void about people who have been deliberately disenfranchised by their government with the direct intent of making them toothless against what is essentially a fascist regime.

The problem is that you’re screaming a lot but not offering actual solutions except a general idea of “Fight!”. That’s not helpful, and it sounds a lot like condescension.

I understand that you’re expressing frustration and disbelief and anger. But people here are angry too and they are fighting where they can. But as this and other news is very demonstrative of, the system is rigged against them and things get worse in that regard every day.

App stores removing apps that track ICE. People who share their outrage but not solutions/who don’t boost actual efforts to fight.

News articles that focus solely on the bad part and offer no solutions. The fact that you don’t come across many posts with actual solutions isn’t a bug, it’s intentional. People ignore things that help so they can remain outraged, supercilious, and smug.

The mentality of the gambler. There’s a lot of people out there who have this addiction and just aren’t fortunate enough to have lucked into becoming a CEO. That’s how you know it’s a lottery, and being born into riches is a shortcut.
