Is it really micromanaging? What you described sounds like coaching. With a professor / teacher, they are there to help you with doing things the correct / efficient way; and with a conductor, its them steering the orchestra towards their vision.

This comment section is… something.

If you host the bridges yourself, it makes no difference to privacy.

It’s simply convenient to have all chats in one place 🤷🏼‍♀️

Same; can you also, by any chance, wiggle them?

Phone + Insulin pen.

My sensor is stuck to my arm anyways, so I’m not counting that.

Same. And even if you were to fuck up, have people never heard of the reflog…?

Every job I’ve worked at it’s been the expectation to regularly rebase your feature branch on main, to squash your commits (and then force push, obv), and for most projects to do rebase-merges of PRs rather than creating merge commits. Even the, uh, less gifted developers never had an issue with this.

I think people just hear the meme about git being hard somewhere and then use that as an excuse to never learn.

Grew up on it. My dad set up a Ubuntu 4.10 PC for my brother and I when we were 3/5 (no internet, obv), and it stuck.

Used Windows for a brief time in highschool to be able to play online with friends.

Went right back to Linux when going to university. Will never change back, both for ideological reasons and because Linux is just better.

Next step: NixOS on a phone

Another thank you! Sumire is exactly what I have been looking for

A substantial amount of open source devs will probably just give up working on their projects if they can no longer be installed by most users.

That will also affect Graphene users.

Graphene will also only work until Google one day says “You know what… No!” and stops allowing it on their (new) hardware. I don’t think that’s far in the future.

Do not

Ah crap I’m dead. Should have known. Arguing with you felt like purgatory after all.

Hey, it’s me! I made that comment! And I stand by it.

Not a lib though.

I don’t fed post.

So “no”, got it.

As a part of at least one of those minorities: fuck you!

You let me know why you thought not filling out a slip of paper was more important than the lives of my brothers and sisters.

Good news! I am doing something! I’m an active part of a vehemently anti-fascist party in my country! And I’m proud to say that we’ve been passing actually progressive legislation and being the stop-block against a slide right.

How about yourself? Have you actually done anything besides shitposting?

If you’d fight in the revolution, but not fight in the revolution and cast a vote, I seriously question your commitment to the fighting-in-the-revolution part.

Seeing as you have not done that yet, it would appear that voting would be, well, more than you have done :) How do you justify your complacency and subjugation to the system you pretend to loathe?

Whenever I read a comment such as yours, I get the distinct impression that you actually relish the thought of causing suffering.

You self-glorify through the thought of “Well I did not support this system! If everyone was like me, this would all be solved!” - it’s so easy, right? All those people experiencing additional suffering because you are too lazy to cast a vote sure are grateful to you for sticking to your principals, heroically practicing non-participation in a system built on suffering by… furthering that suffering. Hey, wait a minute!

I don’t even know why I am writing all this out. Chances are you are either a troll, a bot, or simply so deeply misguided that nothing I say could possibly reach you.

At some level though, you must know that making it easier for fascists to seize power actively hurts what you claim to stand for. You could always move the needle a little by voting, and still do whatever you believe needs doing beyond that; those are not mutually exclusive.

I’m not American.

The lesser evil is still less evil. Not voting actively makes your goals more unattainable.

Lmao I kept thinking you forgot to put quotes and was waiting for the inevitable “…this is what too many idiots think, even though it is obvious bullshit”, and yet it just…never came. Amazing. This might be the single most stupid comment I’ve ever read, and I’ve been on the internet for a while.

Ok, but not voting is harm increasement.

You will simply not be able to install anything, unless the FOSS dev is cool with providing their ID to Google, and agrees to its ToS, and Google likes the app and signs it.

Which many devs (myself included) will definitely NOT be.
