The only control is the ruling class over the working class. I don’t think that’s a great achievement.

That's a result of systems like capitalism, not democracy in itself. 🙄 Read up a little about the concept of democracy (and what isn't part of it) and come back to the discussion.

A perfect breeding ground for growing localized power structures that aren't bound to anything holding them back. A power vacuum will always fill itself. To gain control over it as a society (i.e. democracy) is one of the greatest achievements of mankind. We have to keep improving it (by reforming how economical powers can or can not exercise power or grow), not moving to something that's so obviously disregarding how power structures form and behave in human societies.

Yep, elitism is a huge problem. It's usually the best for newcomers to refer them to only certain subsections of the wider community (for example Linux Mint forums) who you know to be very friendly and humane. Many other places are a cesspit, and don't you dare criticize something technical. You'll get at least 30% answers trying to shut you up.

<rant> In terms of the wider Fediverse, people seem unable to understand how many people won't even know you can use third-party software with certain services so not finding a native, official "Lemmy" app in the app store is a dealbreaker for them. Hell, our digital education and modern mobile devices are so bad & manipulative at times people don't even know that "gmail" and "email" are the same… but of course that'll be blamed on *literally everyone else*. Can't be that that FOSS Bros are out of touch or something. Contributing to a social & economical solution is hard, let's go back to our code cave. </rant>

No, of course not. The accident eats all the light I'd need for that.

Many FOSS nerds don't even understand the necessity of a user-friendly GUI…

You clearly never were the victim back in those days. Neither do you realize this approach doesn't work on the modern web even in the slightest, unless you want the basics of both enlightenment and therefore science and democracy crumbling down even faster.

Anarchism is never an answer, it's usually willful ignorance about there being any problems.

They could try it, however it would cause the US to blow up internally in every way imaginable. It would be a surefire way to cause another civil war.

For a moment I wondered why the Rust code was so much more readable than I remembered.

This would make a nice VS Codium plugin to deal with all the visual clutter. I actually like this.

You know, they didn't have to make a product with this specific chip. They did it anyway despite it being inherently incompatible with their former goals. And this is not about us customers, this is about Framework abandoning what they stood for and losing credibility in the process.

Then don't make it work like that. Desktop PCs are modular and Framework made a worse product in terms of modularity and repairability, the main sales of Framework. Just, like… wtf. This Framework product is cursed and shouldn't exist.

And like the original he's also taking drugs (although Adolf didn't have Ketamine).

Or supposedly received 9.223.372.036.854.775.807 dollars (64-bit max int).

Less of a generational problem, more of an educational one. Selfish, badly educated grifters that got pushed into high offices can be of any age. Musk also didn't recognize SQL when he looked at it, which is arguably even more funny.

That's a really bad argument given one of those chambers is literally run by, and full of, nazis.

Without distros there would be no Linux desktop ecosystem to begin with. Also who's to say what true value is?

Every distro comes with people who don't just maintain their own stuff, but contribute to the whole ecosystem. It doesn't need to be a Debian or Arch to be worth something.

So again, please don't start bickering about what's most important. It all got its place, and someone calling for donations for good thing A does not undermine good thing B. All good things need attention.

If Elon can deadname his own child we can deadname his indeed very dead platform.

Both deserve our attention and donations, please don't try to divert people from one important FOSS project to another.

So basically like in… Trump voice …"CHEINA!"

He literally forced everyone on twitter to read his shit. Now he's at the core of the US government, already taking shots at the media. Take a guess.
