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.

@daphailwhale You might be interested in this. It only natively supports Windows but you can compile it for Linux.

@daphailwhale What emulator are you using? Even if your emulator doesn't have an option to disable layers it might have a tile-viewer and you can rip the sprites that way.

Pluralfolk are probably the most insane snowflakes. They think that they share a body with other "individuals".

@daphailwhale You should post this on TCRF. There's still not enough info about the leaks there.

When this happened to Spinster the fediverse was like “lol u deserved it bitch, stop discriminating against trans people”. Now it’s almost like, uhhhh, maybe we should try to have some solidarity when we’re a small movement up against huge opponents who will do everything in their power to hose us out.

@matrix At least he's not playing on console where tech-illiterate parents think that turning off the TV will turn off the system.

@p This is the exact reason why so many people have a hard time switching to Linux. Making people feel like they chose the wrong distro and they fall for the install Gentoo/Arch/Slackware memes and get stuck right there. Who gives a shit if you're using Ubuntu, Mint, or elementaryOS.

Distro arguments are pointless and stupid. If you have been in two distro arguments and didn't spend the second one yelling that it was pointless, then I have a very simple strategy to help you learn: every time you see some kid post about how excited he is to have installed Ubuntu on his computer and you feel the urge to tell him to install Arch instead, punch yourself in the face until you feel like teaching him something besides pointless distro-hopping, then after you have sent the kid a note of encouragement or something educational, punch yourself in the dick until you feel like learning to do something with your own computer besides pointless distro-hopping.

@coolboymew What distro are you using? Maybe you need to update your repositories.

@coolboymew Not that I know of. They have a .pirate TLD. I'm pretty sure there would be more piracy sites using OpenNIC domains if it becomes popular. You can also use any ICANN domain if you use an OpenNIC server.

@coolboymew You might be interested in this. All you need to do is change your DNS settings and you get access to sites you can't access with ICANN DNS providers.
