I don't want you shoehorning your disregard for the Unix philosophy into every major distro as an excuse to shove your bloated ass flatpaks up my unlubed asshole.
@claude review
@maid at this point what is the reason to not buy a macbook if the same linux people who were like "WE'RE GONNA KICK MICROSOFTS ASS" and "FREE ASSANGE" and "AARON SWARTZ DID NOTHING WRONG" will roll over under pressure?

-Computer have hardware level DRM, ME/PSP/TrustZones etc...
-Computer won't start if the OS isn't signed by a trust party you don't control.
-Computer requires mandatory internet connection to boot.
-No more local accounts, online only.
-Your account is linked to your irl ID.
-You can't browser common websites/.gov site as web DRM will check if your OS is signed.
This is already planned as it's progressively enforced more and more.
-Hardware is already full of DRM
-MS has mandatory online account
-Computer phones furthered this behavior via "stores"/repositories.
-Web DRM is slowly being used, youtube tries so often to push it on various part of the population, yandex too, various websites in general
-Current laws are being pushed and code is being integrated for ID/age check.
@mangeurdenuage @phnt @maid @newt don't forget: everyone's response to it is to roll over, do nothing, and make another youtube video complaining. GamersNexus and similar channels are no different than other podcasters at this rate. Wow, you're saying shit sucks, where's your solution?
> where's your solution?
Indeed. Spreading the word I important but as I grew older I realized that two things happens when critical mass happens in such context.
-Grifters will abuse the need and make something that looks less worse and thus will attract even contributors
-Actual free/libre software solutions that work and could work are either left aside or unknown-omitted.
Like for example GN on their discord video cited several software as a solution mainly proprietary ones, some are free/libre but they focused on proprietary ones which will inevitably turn into discord bs at some point because of it's proprietary nature.
Also none of the free/libre software their proposed are a viable alternative to what discord did.
Jami is the closest one of all the free/libre software and it still needs a lot of work.
@mangeurdenuage @phnt @maid @newt part of what made the podcast types on poa.st/elsewhere get mocked (and why that crowd became irrelevant) has to do with this.
They're all about making jokes, telling you shit sucks, and that you should give them money to tell you shit sucks. To quote one website, "The fate of western civilization will be decided by the e-daddy with the largest Patreon."
That's what it boils down to and nothing summed it up harder than the whole GG shit going on. The fact far more people from that movement became e-pundits instead of being gamedevs is telling. I've mixed up Luke Smith, Lunduke, and others in my mind because they fit the mold of "e-daddy who wants money".
