holy shit, it’s not just 4 screws anymore?

such vibin much wow

i use Linux with proprietary drivers

That’s fair but I don’t see how that solution contributes to the content thread

I’m already taking actions, but I do it with the understanding that it won’t make much of a difference.

I’m sorry to break your bubble but most people just don’t care. They want their computer to play a video off the internet, and don’t care how long that takes as long as it works. Maybe they’ll care about things in the specific interests they have, but they won’t care about computers, software, and libre software.

We, people that care about software freedom are a minority and we need to accept that. And the only way to get things done when you’re in the minority is to borrow power from the majority, e.g. by passing legislation.

:(

genuinely fuck Apple for stealing khtml and driving it into the ground

free market works when the market is actually free.

As soon as entry costs are introduced into the market, the free market falls apart.

Think of the costs of building factories, rnd, lawyers, etc.

voting with your wallet doesn’t work when most people would buy anyway (whether it’s because they’re ignorant, trapped to do so, etc)

The minority of people that actually care and know about privacy and software freedom is just a tiny statistic in Apple’s perspective, so voting with your wallet doesn’t work.

you need to personalise it for each person and appeal to their unique interests. They are people, not bots.

best ghibli movie btw

oh yeah, i guess purchasing Minecraft anonymously is a big issue.

If the outlook account is only tied to the minecraft account and Microsoft doesn’t know who made the outlook account, isn’t that pretty safely private? Ofc microsoft can read the emails, but they won’t contain any personal info of OP.

sure, you can block me if you don’t agree with my opinions.

that would be kinda making an echo chamber for yourself though, so I wouldn’t recommend that.

I do think real life can be an echo chamber, but if you have a diverse range of people you interact with, it can be not an echo chamber at all. Having multiple friend groups, attending social events, etc can make real life more diverse.

(Ofc there’s things like living in a first world country making an echo chamber of people that don’t care about third world issues, but that’s beside the point)

Online is also the same in my opinion.

Do you understand my argument?

All I’m saying is that defedding from people like “tankies, alt-righters, edge lords” are fine, but because it’s easy to miscategorise people into those categories (intentional or not) you could end up defederating from anyone you don’t agree with, ending up in an echo chamber.

could you explain how?

if you want an echo chamber instance that’s fine.

defedding pedos make sense but defedding the others you mentioned are a very slippery slope into making an echo chamber
