In a fight between delusion and physics, physics may always win but delusion never concedes.

  • Sure, you could. But that defeats the purpose.

  • GrapheneOS won't protect your cellular data and metadata. It can't stop location tracking by cell tower. But it does a lot for those who are privacy concerned.

  • It's a PITA to use. You set up different profiles for different uses to separate out app tracking. Turn off Google services when you can. Manage each app. Switch profiles around constantly.

    It's work But... ain't nobody watching you.

    Security. Privacy. Convenience.

    Pick two.

  • Out intimidating voters by brandishing firearms in blue districts.

  • Counterterrorism used to mean stopping crazies from blowing shit up or killing innocent people in the United States. Now it means targeting minorities. Which gives actual terrorists free reign to attack on US soil.

    Even if Trump is a Russian agent he couldn't do more damage than he's already doing.

  • I will not install their app. Period.

  • I wish someone would make a Plan 9 distribution.

  • Seems he'll really need that expensive security detail after all.

  • Oppose it. For most of my life the United States was not a dictatorship. It's still not quite, yet. But MAGA is certainly trying.

    Regardless, the distinction between democracy and a republic conservatives so often make to discredit democracy is one that slyly promotes dictatorship.

  • Now you know why Microsoft bought github.

  • Splitting hairs over the difference between a democracy and a democratic-republic misses the point. China, Russia, even North Korea, are all constitutional republics. Do you want to live in a country with a dictatorship like that? I don't.

  • Even if you don't drive, you still eat because of roads. No food delivery to supermarkets without roads. Same for all other goods and services.

  • I hate these Mott and Bailey arguments.

    The discussion was about professional use. Then you moved the goalposts.

  • Affinity is good, and runs OK on Linux with recent versions of wine. Resolve is very good. A credible alternative to Premiere, though Fusion isn't all that compared to Ae.

    Ardour is great right now. As is Reaper.

  • Gimp is still not an alternative to Ps. Not even close.

  • Blah blah blah

    The difference engine was never built by Babbage.

    This is a false comparison built upon a false presumption.

  • All the ways that loom stitching - like a player piano - is not Turing complete, much less like large training set AI.

  • In Vancouver, BC. There are public toilets here. Big self cleaning stainless steel boxes on the sidewalk. Go in, have your piss. Except there's also a huge drugged out street population too. So I'm walking Robeson St and I see a wasted guy pissing on the outside of the toilet in broad daylight. I'm like, he's missing the mark in more ways than one!
