  • Yeah, Western media can be really good at showing the horrors of capitalism, but they almost always just go "well it's what it is" instead of solving it. Not even fantasy pretend solving it.

  • There's a theory that season 2 is about to reveal that it's set in the DPRK and is meant to showcase that North Korea is the worst: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=gmEVUxVwUWk (warning, lib video)

    Which, if true, makes it libtrash. It's just a theory though and we'll have to wait and see.

    In general, it's a pretty good commentary on capitalism and what it forces people to do, but certainly not the best in that category.

  • Archer has an episode where a "visionary" kidnapped and enslaved (and tried to breed) people for a Mars colony because he gave up on "saving" Earth.

    Oddly topical in 2022.

    What is the actual deal with all those pretend socialists in the West?

  • At least they actually recognised the West as being the outlier this time. Usually a title like that is followed by "and all these other countries are stupid and brainwashed and stupid".

  • I really hope China steps in, especially as their longtime ally.

  • Phone Recommendation For Noob

    Jump

  • Why include it as a default though? If they simply dropped a recommendation, or asked to install it letting you know it's proprietary, sure people might still complain but it won't be seen as nearly as serious a violation of FLOSS principles.

  • Can you elaborate? This is the first time I've heard that, then again I've never used Grapheme and never interacted with any communities dedicated to the project.

  • Let me guess, because the election was "rigged". Better let a tiny group of people decided what the broader population want then!

  • This whole thing has given me the push I needed to get off Reddit. Uninstalled Slide from my phone and logged off Reddit on my browser.

    And I realized that I don't miss it, and I barely even think about it anymore.

  • TIL that's a thing.

    And TBH it's really suspicious they don't tell you which one.

  • I do wonder what their one proprietary app is

    I vaguely remember there was this weird PDF reader app I'd never heard of the last time I used /e/. Going to bet it was that. Never used it, installed Book Reader from F-droid in its place.

    Now, why that would be a default, I don't know. The only non "it's sponsored" theory I can come up with is that vanilla AOSP, by itself, has no actual ability to read PDFs. There is no default app for it and none of the common browsers can open them either. This is actually a problem in LineageOS because it only ships the AOSP default apps.

    Or maybe it's their custom app store that connects to Google Play without signing in? It doesn't seem it's based on Yalp/Aurora Store.

  • /e/OS currently has an alpha image for the FP4, I imagine LineageOS will soon too. Both are well-known degoogled ROMs.

    It's expensive yes, unfortunately prohibitively so for many, but that expense goes into sustainable, conflict-free materials, many years of continuous support, and the engineering required for a semi-modular phone. It will more than likely last you a very long time, longer than any other Android phone, especially since the battery, the first thing to fail in a phone, can be freely replaced.
