> all activism is state sponsored
Correct, but this wasn't my point. Not everyone is being paid directly to do stupid shit — that's just not cost effective. Paying to those who can convince a lot of people to do stupid shit — now we're playing!
A lot of people are deceived into believing total garbage: okay, what I do might look like stupid shit — but I'm doing it for a good cause, I'm a good person, right?
No, you are not — just take a step back and look at that, it's still stupid shit🤷‍♀️

@thor I think it's often exactly this way, they don't even want their group to win — they want the other one to lose.
Ensuring your victory means just doing your thing no matter what and that is often… boring. On the other hand the concept that some other group prevents you from doing this thing is wrong, but very easy to grasp — that is why a lot of people fall for it.

@thor What about this win-win thing, looks like no one really wants it? 😏

@thor I think they hate centrists because centrists want everyone to come to a reasonable conclusion and that will deprive them of their "fun" bashing each other 😅

@jeff You're probably talking about some "eco-activism", but it works the same way for everything: fighting for women's rights isn't hating men, fighting for black rights is not hating white. It doesn't do anyone any good, it only atomizes the society and everyone loses except for those in power and corpos.

@jeff My exact words! Some refuse to believe because the declared goal of such "activists" is good, and it often really is — it's just what they do doesn't make them (or anyone) closer to that goal.
> sabotage on behalf of the corpos
More often on behalf of their own stupidity — corpos indeed benefit from what these people do, but most aren't even getting paid for that, they are just being played.

@alex More often than it should be, the answer is "Just because I can" 😂
Trying something new is always interesting I guess 🤷

It's when you install another system on top of the one you already have into a subfolder instead of replacing it. This system can't run independently from the one you already have, but might offer a completely different experience, often more fulfilling.
It's a workaround used when you can't replace the original system — not as good, but still better than not having an alternative.

@theorytoe I think he has a vastly different idea of what being based is than most people using the word "based" 😂

@mjdxp I make this mistake way more often than I wish I did 😩

@jeff Spot on! It looks like a lot of people aren't trying to have your sympathy anymore, but do their best being as annoying as possible so you can agree with them only for them to fuck off 🤣

@theorytoe When I've been enrolling into University I attended lectures for students like me and there was this one lecturer who told us: "You can actually solve scientific problems with voting",— he asked us a question and gave us four choices, the correct one was of course the least popular: "See, it's not that hard?" 😂

@mjdxp
And there are people who don't like anything but them — me for example😅
Even before I started using tiling WMs, I've been using the likes of openbox and WindowMaker, not DEs — I have no use for them, I don't want them.

Web dying would be a great thing IMO. I have recently resurrected a more than decade old ARM machine with only 512 Mbs of RAM, it's only capable to run a single window of Surf — at best, and despite that, it's still a fun machine to use as I have Gemini and my TUI Fedi and Matrix clients. There are things that are fun, they are usable on hardware 10 times less powerful than an average modern phone! The Internet definitely shouldn't be the web!

@neural_meduza Союзники обещали конечно поставить авиацию, но чтобы сразу так… Из WarCraft? 😮

Hardware real mode/protected mode switch would be perfect, but I think I've only seen a LED indicator like this on a 286 motherboard 😄

> Every time it's about cutting this or that public service or educational program.
Especially when cutting down on education and healthcare is guaranteed to make it worse in the long run. Like how is this supposed to get fixed by itself in this economy, will high-tech products start growing on trees?
I'm not even American and I still don't see how this is supposed to work, I think I see how this gets sold to taxpayers though 😩

@mjdxp Come on! At least buy him a drink 🐶

B-b-but! kernel.org runs it!
E-eh… Still checks out 😂
