@graf @xianc78 @alex As a last resort we can do a Luke Smith, and develop systems that will provide us a passive incum, so we won't have to work for any company or contract ever again, and still be able to put food on the table.

@digdeeper @LukeAlmighty Well said.
I too get distracted over that, but what do you expect if the authoritarian to libertarian ratio is like 90:10, and among the authoritarians it's always the most extreme sides that are getting all the attention, whether it be the extreme leftists on Shitter worrying about drawings of girls with an A cup or bigger is somehow sexist, or the extreme rightists on Gab complaining about how looking at drawings is somehow equal to actually raping real life children.

And then the freedom loving people on Fedi and their own websites, as well as the "moderate" authoritarians on big and/or alt tech, and everyone in between are making memes of their retardedness, bringing them to front page news like if it actually matters, or openly complaining about their behavior is only going to feed the extremes and hide everyone else.
Honestly, I too am pretty guilty of that myself.

🚨ATTENTION🚨
THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.

REMINDER THAT THE PINK, WHITE, AND BLUE COLORS ARE THE “COTTON CANDY COLOR SCHEME”, NOT THE TRANS COLORS.

THESE COLORS CAN BE WORN WITHOUT SYMBOLISM OF THE POPULAR PEDOPHILIC SODOMY CULT KNOWN AS THE “TRANS”, AS THE COLORS WERE IN THE YEARS BEFORE ITS DREADED EXISTENCE.

THAT IS ALL, HAVE A GOOD DAY.

I kind of regret being defederated from poast, not that I enjoy their content or think that they are worth talking to, but it's just one less group of people to make fun of these days

Cult members are always a treat to fuck with

If the history of internet trannies is anything to go by, it's an unacceptable risk to have them around in any way shape or form if your goal is to get shit done with a minimum of drama.

The only trans people who haven't created some drama/backlash are literally the ones who simply lurk and don't draw attention to themselves. Normal or neutral bios, no commenting or pushing trans acceptance or queer ideology, etc. Those are like a lightning rod for drama.

If you fill your bio with queer pride shit, flags of every sort, pronouns, and a bunch of milqueoast neoliberal/ancom talking points you absolutely are going to get shit on, and people are going to think you are yet another unhinged troon

And I'm not the only one who thinks that people who are so mentally unstable they can't come to terms with their own physical nature and instead need expensive drugs, hormone replacement, and life-altering surgery from Dr Shecklestein are the kinds of people who are going to be problematic to have around... Especially as colleagues and partners.

It's funny to me that Square considered naming Final Fantasy "Fighting Fantasy," because even though they ultimately didn't due to a tabletop game already having the name...

...TWO YEARS LATER...

...Data East did the deed with an arcade game, and they were absolutely fucking shameless about it.

#Microsoft has been trying this for the past three decades. UEFI didn't manage to lock alternative operating systems out of the hardware originally designed for Windows like they intended, so they need to come up with something new. That's the whole purpose of Microsoft #Pluton.

All the talk about increased security is just marketing bullshit intended to gaslight users. It's quite uncommon for malware nowadays to overwrite the MBR, and hypervisor-like isolation of user-space code can also be achieved in the OS layer without locking up the hardware. The simple truth is that Microsoft wants its monopoly back and it wants to do it by kicking any potential competitors out of hardware designed for Windows, whatever it takes.

Microsoft deserves to burn in a ball of fire and leave no traces behind. I'm sick of their continuous arrogant attempts of establishing an absolute monopoly out of market share weight, not out of merit. Weren't they supposed to focus on that stinky pile of crap that is Azure, and finally leave non-cloud users in peace?

This is yet one more argument in support of open hardware, and in support of hardware manufacturers that don't ship solutions with Windows pre-installed.
