My kneejerk reaction coming from the '90s is that if I wanted the same branding for everything, I’d just use Apple or Gnome. At the same time, constructing brand image on top of a third-party base that is in development and can change over time can be difficult, or just “not worth the $RESOURCE”. So I’m currently in the position that something like “universal Mastodon view with brand accents” would be the most fitting thing for the Fediverse.

Colonialism?

If everyone is constantly being accused of genocide all of the time then no one will know when an actual genocide is happening.

If you can do something as simple as compare numbers (a skill taught in elementary school), you can know when genocide is happening, regardless of what other people around you try to weasel about what they believe the term to be.

No, I mean it’s the new / local meme word to shut off conversation. And apparently used pretty much the same way right-wingers use it.

The 2A is there for you to do things, but it’s not only simply about rising up. It’s about instrumentalization. When every citizen can be armed “just in case”, all you need is for that to statistically compound into a Luigi or two getting three lucky marked shots on the tyrant du jour.

I see calling people “tankies” is the “woke” of the Fediverse.

I mean, they’re normies… anything that’s not just a one-step process buttoned as “App” is going to give them “off putting vibe”.

What? But Jewish people love being nazis! Just look at Gaza!

There are a few good ones I can recommend, depending on what experience are you looking for (programmer, writer, simple note-taking).

Apostrophe would be the first, better for freestyle writing IMO; and then in no particular order I’d recommend Formiko which seems to work wonders for technical / programming-related writing, Remarkable and Ghostwriter for that no items, text only, final desktop kind of experience. Most or all of these should be findable in software stores like Flatpak, too.

The entire point of c/piracy is sharing freedom. Why would you not talk to people about Linux? (plus the torrenting tools are just so much more efficient there…)

Ewwwww, it uses AI!

Imagine wanting to support something as efficient and energy-friendly as SQLite, then throwing an AI on top of it.

Women are the gatekeepers who get to decide whether or not a baby gets born

Not under Republican rule they don’t!

“No. Get more info on that for $35/mo!”

Oh you mean, not using something like the internet?

Exactly! That’s why it’s called “All” and not, say, “Some” or “Maybe”.

Is it possible? Yes. Is it ethical? Depends on the goal IMO. One could well argue that making a site that works better with Firefox or other libre browsers and puts some roadblocks on Chrome is ethical as carrying out a defensive measure, not only for you but also for those around you.

It’s so superior that they finally added color in 2024!

We live in a wild world where people feel so confident about the wayland snake oil that they only added color in 2024!

“gStore” sounds… suspicious. XD

Still doesn’t mean everything has to be named in English, or with whatever naming idioms marketing people and shareholders like. Have some variety in life. Go touch grass.
