don't forget the Yemenis or Palestinians

there's no difference between good and bad things, I insist

did they ever start backporting security patches? I know that was a major issue in the early days that really soured me on the competence of the project. you cannot take a rolling release distro, bless some package versions as "stable" and call it a day.

those words, you use them, but I don't think you know what they mean

what does that have to do with the price of butter?

settler-colonists remain settler-colonists. also if NATO support vanished overnight, reunification would be inevitable.

nixos solves this problem by allowing you to boot the last working system state prior to updates. and as a bonus you can manage all of your computers from a single config in a git repo. bit of a learning curve but it takes most of the annoyance out of linux for me.

I'm a big 'ol softy. the Internationale never fails to make me tear up.

I appreciate Grafana going in the opposite direction and relicensing under the AGPL. it largely serves the same purpose but it provides a stronger guarantee for users.

careful you're gonna get a bunch of people calling you a commie.

this explicitly not the text of the first amendment, but that document is garbage anyway so it doesn't matter. I agree with you, but with an additional point: money is not speech and any attempt to use it as such must be squashed if democracy is to have any meaning.

this thread is at the top of active. no one needs to organize anything for lots of people from hexbear to see it.

wdym it's beautiful

this is deeply funny. I wish they hadn't defederated so we could ratio their downvotes through sheer posting volume.

the actual result of typing up an effort post rationally debunking point after point, with citations, is that 99% of people, including the person you're responding to, skimming it looking for a single line they can grab on to and twist it back around at you. sometimes it pays to do that but most of the time, my experience is that you convince more people if you can break the hold of liberal hegemony within their minds. and decidedly uncivil means are much more effective at doing that. many (most?) of the posters on hexbear were libs or even borderline fash who stumbled onto the old reddit sub, got thoroughly mocked for spouting bullshit, and stuck around to learn more because they couldn't shake the nagging feeling that they were missing something.

different rules obviously apply in offline spaces but it's that urge to bring rules from one space into another, very different arena that's at the heart of this issue.

And definitely people who put pineapple on pizza.

who do you think the ppb emotes are really aimed at?

do you know the history of how the KMT became the ROC or are you asking loaded questions without any knowledge of the history?

stronger than China

can't they still downvote us on their side?
