Technical stuff aside, a major reason why Flatpak does not get the hate Snap does is because users don't resent it.

There are 2 things people hate: the way things are, and change.

Ubuntu put Snaps on users desktops without asking if they wanted them. They just did it, then closed off ways to opt-out/avoid them (Cf. Firefox).

Forced change fosters resentment.

No distro made Flatpaks default/required/opt-out. Users had time to come to the tech and adopt it on their own terms/needs.

Just IMO.

#Twitter has completely cut off public access to its posts. Twitter users are now unable to share anything with non-Twitter people. Direct links no longer work, which is a disaster for accounts distributing public information.

This is a textbook example of why you should set up your own server as part of a federated social network. Ownership means your post links will never break, and federation means you can reach a mass audience.

They didn’t take away the right to kill babies; they just stopped pretending that right ever existed.

Each state should decide their own policy on trans issues regarding adults, but I would support a law that outlaws sex change procedures and puberty blockers on minors.

If @govchristie can't agree to protect our children from making permanent, irreversible decisions due to pro-trans propaganda, he is running in the wrong party's primary.

should you listen to the people who villify Elon Musk? no.

should you listen to the people who worship him? also no.

extremists are the worst.

A poll, because I've only seen one so far.

Please reshare this so it's as large a sample size as possible.

"Sen. Durbin ... you had mentioned this 'rhetoric.' You had mentioned 'what message does it send to trans individuals?' My combat to that is: what message does this send to women, to young girls ... their rights to privacy and safety thrown out of the window?" @riley_gaines_

I feel so bad for these pro vax scientists who are getting bullied. Us anti lockdown, unvaccinated people never had to go through anything like that.

Every year the Department of Education spends twice as much as Elon Musk spent to buy Twitter.

And since 1980, the year Carter ignored the Constitution to create the DOE, every trackable academic metric has declined.

Get rid of it. Return education to the local level.

If Joe Rogan donated $100,000 to the CRMO Foundation on my daughter’s behalf, I’d literally debate aliens on why they don’t exist.

@timcast Yo @timcast I would love for you try my Pancake Mix that I created after they canceled Aunt Jemima. I’ll send you a box! http://CousinTs.com

I’m calling on the Fed to print enough money to pay off our national debt.

With no debt, our inflation would be almost zero.

We appreciate your boosts 🙏 It would be fun to go to our year-end meeting and say we have more followers in the #fediverse than we do on Instagram 😁

Happy #FlagDay y'all!

The more Desantis fans double down on defending the use of Deepfakes to smear a political opponent the more I will bring it up

We have talked about the danger of using AI in politics well before @rondesantis ran this ad and I'm not going to back down
