  • It never hated it, it just hated that it was used against it. Never let up against them, it's the only way.

  • Whoops, sadly they'll find the exact same there, if not now then very soon.

  • Not for long. It is going into fascism just as much as the US is, not that it ever really was that far behind.

  • Maybe corporations should stop using so much electricity 🙃

  • Yes, the email I use has that built in, though if I can I don't use email for an account, like on Lemmy (which is how it should be everywhere in my opinion, just a username and password). All my passwords are different too!

  • Ah, good reason to always make new usernames for each site/service that is signed up for. 😉

  • and mastodon is still just a copy of twitter with no new features.

    That's what you said, so I was just going off of that.

  • Oh, when did twitter add CWs that required a clickthrough? The ability to set your own character limit? When did it remove its algorithms to show you posts it considered relevant? When did it become open source? When did it become decentralised and federated? When did it start working on end-to-end encryption for DMs? When did it allow for built in themes?

  • Yep, sadly care and domestic work has been seen this way for a very long time, if not forever.

  • Thanks for asking!

    Well, to give one example: It has a lot of work to do for blind/visually impaired people, at the very least. Most installers do not come with a screen reader or if it does then it often crashes (it also crashes a lot when installed I am told, at least Orca does). Pipewire, which is used primarily for sound, requires major messing with to be used between user sessions as it cares about security over accessibility, and thus is tied to user permissions, unless you modify it to be accessible, which is going to be difficult when things cannot be seen by the user.

    There's a lot of projects for which either patches or the technologies already exist to make things more accessible. However, sadly, a lot of devs prefer new features over fixing things to help make things more accessible. So a lot of people who need such fixes are left behind and thus cannot use linux.

  • I hope not. Stories need to move on, else we get Star Wars (except Andor) again with self referential rubbish saying nothing of value.

    Let him go.

  • I'm saying that a lot of people cannot switch because linux is not accessible enough, sadly.
