Making a browser from scratch would be very difficult. SerenityOS has one, but idk how usable it is.

Besides Firefox, I guess the least evil options would be something webkit-based. There are a few of those.

I feel like everyone misunderstood my stupid joke, that was my point

Europeans trying to be on the right side of history for once in their life:

This whole section of the graph will be that invisible part on the left in a couple years. Going up and down is normal as long as it’s trending up.

It’s not their responsibility to make a proprietary shithole os easier to use

Try Ubuntu, you can uninstall the baked in spyware

When have Palestinians invaded Israeli land? Israelis are still creating illegal settlements right now.

But more importantly, this genocide is not a two way street. There are terrorist attacks but that pales in comparison to an all out genocide. When have Palestinians leveled whole neighborhoods or dropped chemical weapons on people? Israelis are determined to kill or at least displace the millions of remaining Palestinians and it’s disingenuous to say that’s the same thing the Palestinians are doing.

So basically the boomer queue ensures that cashiers have a job, and it ensures that I don’t have to be treated like a criminal because the cashiers are bagging the groceries and I won’t be subjected to “random controls”. I’m not seeing the negative.

This is going to be a boring answer but I use neovim. I do use it as my ide as well but it’s so fast and lightweight that when I need to edit a random config file or something, I just start another instance of it.

I prefer to composite motion graphics using ed

This coupled with a few years of proton becoming very usable is an interesting mix.

Is this the year?

Your argument basically boils down to “never use amazon or any other shitty tech company for that matter”, which I guess I agree with.

Textbook example of the frog in boiling water. No one would have accepted this behavior before, but now we’re so used these big companies doing whatever they want, we have no problem shrugging off whatever they do.

I’m slowly coming to the conclusion that if you’re not actively sabotaging these companies (through piracy at least), you’re morally in the wrong.

I think it’s humorous how many people are getting offended at such a silly post

I’m on mac and I can’t install many intel apps I used to rely on

I disagree with those critics that moving to flatpak is somehow worse than distro repos. At the same time, flatpak and docker are not the endgame. We know that a better way is possible (take a look at BSD jails for an example), it will just take linux another couple decades to get there as it always does.

It’s a tradeoff. You have to include more in the image but being able to target way more linux users is an obvious win. I would call the horrible state of linux desktop fragmentation “very bad” as well.

In a real free market, the banks would have gotten too big to fail and we would have bailed them out (ask me how I know this)

Serious question, why would you consider Bluesky? I would argue that mastodon is “the” decentralized social media platform, I mean it’s not owned by some billionaire; and if you mostly care about audience size, nothing beats twitter. I’ve never felt any inclination to try bluesky for these reasons.
