They’re all bought, pushing them only gets pointless promises during campaigns that will be ignored as soon as they get your vote.
Whether it’s a pedophile MAGAt, or that piece of shit Jeffries, they’re all a joke…
And it’s not funny.
RedHat has been so obnoxious I moved from Fedora to Debian.
I’ve seen a lot of tech bro “Shove our crap into everything and make sure it is too hard to not use it so we become the new Microslop” kinda crap coming out of them to want anything to do with it.
Yeah, the AI integration sent it stright to the bin.
You know, all the reasons I didn’t want a Chinese car are now also present in American cars…
We need to start raiding junkyards for old cars, and working on making electric conversions without corporate cloud connections and integrated spyware more accessible.
Oh, one of them is Substack which I am considering dropping because it updates ten times a week and gets worse every time…
The other is a bank app, which does not require Google Play Services, but only releases via PLay.
I already gave up on CashApp, they are so embedded in the derp… And it used to work, evenm on Lineage.
Meanwhile the two apps I still use not on F-Driod or able to pull with Obtanium are downloaded from Aurora.
Fuck. Google.

The only thing I want to feed GPT.
Mozilla? Maybe, but they need to step it up to be worth paying. They were captured by Google supporting them for too long and need to break from the “Yes, Daddy!” dipshittery. Dumping slopboth trash into everything while my SSD replacement is 6x what it was last time I checked just makes me want to slap you. Especiallyh if it’s bloody pointless, and for those who want that crap it can run via a bookmarked site or as an extenion not part of the core fucking browser.
Canonical? Fuck no! Not only is Ubuntu a complete joke, and was nearly twenty yhears ago when I tried and tossed it to go back to Slackware, but the only project they ever put out worth anything they abandoned and let it fall toa poorly supported community project making the phone OS.
Perhaps, but it blocks a segment of your customers, and that segment is often the more adept…
And, to be perfectly honest, the segment most likely to buy… Or to just flat pirate things and discuss them on forums with pirates rather than talking to you and payihng for your work if there are too many roadblocks thrown in their face because you are trying to reduce “friction” by cutting out anyone not using the most popular method.
I’ve also seen people set up a Matrix server that gets relays from multiple other places, or having bots redirect things to their Mastodon, giving peolple the ability to contact them from anywhere and let them reply from a central hub…
Though I’ve opted out of Discord linking because the idjits running it can’t keep from losing their data every time I look in that direction.
There are a few I’ve come across who have bug reporting vis Facebook.
It’s a terrible idea to limit how people can contact you, especially to something that requires an account, and now quite possibly requires the limitless fuckery of identity leeching like that Persona crap.
They don;t even have a bloody email, FFS.
That sounds like "It’s okay to post official statements from agencies and organizations only on Shitter because everyone has Elon’s Nazi slopfest.
I miss the days of server-side anti-cheat.
I’ve returned a few games because of KLAC, if it pops up demanding I install spyware I’m out, which really only hurt for Star Citizen.
It annoys the crap out of me when people say "YOu can give feedback on Discord.
No, no I cannot. I dumped them when they decided to do an IPO, and from what I’ve seen since it was a great decision.
I refer to them as “Be More Evil, Inc.” now.
Pretty much all the “necessary” things do work on BSD, Linux has turned into a gaming OS for me, like Windows had been before 11 was so bad I just couldn’t do it anymore.
I pretty much use office stuff, and multimedia things, with games thrown in now that I’ve ditched Microsoft completely. Figure Linux could stay on a handheld, like a Steam Deck, and consider it a toy like I had WIndows from 7 to 10 when it was at least functional. There is Linux emulation on BSD, too, and I see a setup guide to run the native Linux Kodi port on it.
NetBSD banned submitting “Tainted Code” in their commit guidelines…

May be time to dump Linux, Linus.
As an American I draw the line at US corporations.
Great stuff by great people here, but all small scale, and often local.
It’s pretty much the same policy as the Linux kernel, but still disappointing.
I’ve been dumping things left and right as they decide Claude is their buddy, and that won’t stop because the same idiots who dropped decent init systems for that RedHat tech bro’s mess decided not to block it.
I have zero interest in GTA6, but I want to watch this just to give a middle finger to Take Two and Rockstar.
We need universal ranked choice voting.
Or at least people showing up to the PRIMARIES and kicking these pieces of shit out before they become the DNC annointed one.
