I like the way many Leftists seems to think that companies get away with bad things because capitalism, and not because they are protected by the state.

Setting aside the fact they don't seem to understand that "Capitalism" means (hint: it means private ownership), the more free market you have, the more punishment the market can give bad actors.

Don't want an Android or an Apple? Well tough luck, because those companies are protected not by the free market (which simply doesn't have that power) but by their cronies in government.

Apple is being shitty, but Capitalism will protect them! Ah, no, its government regulations to prevent competition that protects big business, my friends.

Do you think, in a socialist country where the state runs/owns everything there would not be controversy? You have a problem with a state owned company, *good fucking luck* getting that resolved.

@alex so just to be sure, I should be okay downloading the dev branch of soapbox-fe, running the build instructions in the README, and copying the results over what was copied into my /var/lib/pleroma when I installed 1.0 of it?

be like "I know this device isn't yours and I know it's not available for playback but since it's on the same Ethernet network lemme just put it in your list of playback devices for fun"

@alex Really? I never knew that

guess it worked out since was originally on and since you made a to migrator, it provided a good instance on which to test it, right?

DAE remember that gleasonator.com STARTED OUT as a Pleroma instance, then I nuked it and installed Mastodon? Worst decision ever.

I should really try running Pleroma from my Pi. It’s just sitting there.
