@digdeeper@ChristiJunior@coolboymew@th1rd This reminds me of something. It reminds me of Mozilla, because it's similar. In a way I have a special kind of hate for Mozilla and Wikipedia, even compared to Google and Microsoft. They are somehow more disgusting, because they pose as heroes and claim to be virtuous and claim to stand for the things that they do everything destroy. Additionally, they weren't always like this, so they really feel like traitors.
They disgust me more than organizations that are more transparently evil. If they just said "yeah, we want to manipulate people and fuck up their lives, and take all of their property, torture them, rip their organs out and then roast them to death", I would have at least some respect for that, because I could respect the honesty. They would be as evil as they are right now, but at least they would be honest about being evil, so they would have one virtue, as opposed to zero.
@ryo "it can actually function without government interference" That's what I hear, except it has never, ever happened. It's just like that mythical true communism, people insist that it's possible, but where is it? The first thing that happens in a system like that is that the most powerful capitalists create a government. Also, ideologies are brainwashing. So, as long as people are ideological, they will be brainwashed, and as long as they are brainwashed, they will be ideological.
Anyway, look up Mammon. It's a demon, and from what I know, its name just means money. It's an evil force in this world that possesses people, so it's definitely accurate enough to call it a demon.
@xianc78@ryo I think GTK3 is only dependent on dbus, and even that can be patched out. GTK2 on the other hand doesn't depend on that. Anyway, Hyperbola has purged even dbus from their distribution, and they have GTK3 and also some Qt stuff there, so it can all work without it. And the rest of systemd isn't much of an issue at all, really. If it was, the BSDs would be really screwed, but no.
@ryo@xianc78 Honestly, I just don't trust Linux in general at all anymore. It glows brighter than 1000 suns. Which is a shame, because it does a few things that the BSDs do not. A package manager like Guix, that doesn't exist on the BSD world and I do think it's a very good concept. I have also been using (((AAAAAAAAAAPP)))images (I hate that "word" so much, I want to resurrect Steve Jobs so I can kill him) to mitigate updates fucking shit up, so those are nice to have too.
But still, the things that are nice with it don't outweigh the gigantic distrust that I have for it. I only still have it because my drives are formatted to Ext4 and Btrfs, and I would like to get a file server before moving them to ZFS.
@xianc78@ryo Regardless of him actually mentioning them, there isn't a single thing that they do that he's against. Other than using proprietary software, but only on computers, it's fine if it's a microchip in people's brains. Fuck Richard Stallman, I hope he ends up like this: https://odysee.076.ne.jp/@Soren:71/I-don't-even-want-to-make-a-joke...-She-is-raising-funds-btw:a
I hope the shots make the blood in his dick clot and it rots and falls off. Piece of shit. I defended him when his retardation didn't actually matter. Now it does, and my life is being assraped by people that are just like him. I hope he dies and goes to a custom-made hell.
@ryo The problem is that in that system, the greediest and most ruthless will rise to the top and then wipe out their competition, and then back to this system you are. Which is exactly what has happened in reality. Capitalism rewards and incentivizes evil.
Also, those arguments could be used to defend communism. "Communism itself isn't evil, it's the centralization of government, investors taking over everything (which has happened)", and so on. You could argue that the system wasn't the problem, it was just the execution and that the centrality was unnecessary.
That's not my point, I don't care about these retarded ideologies, but I do think that the solution is a system that limits the amount of power and wealth that people can accumulate. Pretty sure that capitalists would say that's not capitalism, because they like the idea, the delusion that they may be on top one day and may get to be the ones abusing others. They get off on the idea of being a Rockefeller or a Bill Gates, or an Elon Musk, so they have to defend that system regardless, even if they are themselves exploited, and near the bottom.
The problem isn't with systems, it's with people, and with them accepting the unacceptable, and with objectively immoral things (like greed, and taking advantage of other people, and hoarding massive amounts of resources that you don't need) being not just accepted, but glorified. People in the past didn't call money a literal demon for nothing. That's what it is, it's a demonic force that has fucking destroyed this world and this species, possibly beyond repair.
Also, deport the Jews to Israel, build a dome around it so they can't get out and make them pay for it, and make usury a sin again.
@ryo Again, making more money just severely reduces the changes. Undeniable when almost everyone making 100k a year it working for a corporation, doing evil work after succeeding in jumping through evil hoops in an evil system. All of that with the goal of ripping people off and mind-raping them for profit and power. Hell, being motivated by greed in general is a bad sign, because unlike what the capitalist drones would say, yes, greed is a bad thing.
@ryo Now? Has been for a long time, that just makes it official. He pushed the shots too, like Richard Stallman. Hell, even from the fact that he's rich, that can be assumed. If someone makes over a million a year, their chance of being a decent person drops down to almost zero, if not actually zero. Hell, it's almost zero even making over 100k.
By the way, if Stallman saw this, he would seethe about how he's not the one there and how it doesn't say GNU/Linux. Those would be his only problems with it.
@ryo@fluoride@rimugu He is shady, that's why I don't trust him on Abe. I mean, if he did that, then where's the clip? Anyway, he does show a clip in the beginning that may be interesting to find the original of. That and search terms, that's all he's useful for, and he even omits some of those. Hell, that's what everyone is useful for, can't exactly trust people when there's so little right with them.
Hell, I am retyping this comment because Pleroma imploded again, and also, the message did not get saved to my clipboard before I refreshed. The software really reflects how reliable humanity is at this point.
Maybe you can find the original Japanese clip and have a use for it. All wearing masks, though, of course. Also, Alex mentions Abe warning people about the shots again. Is that actually true? Because I have never seen evidence of that. Would have been the first good thing that he did in his entire life.
@ryo@fluoride@rimugu Kinda hard to see that considering that they wrote the history and covering things up was much easier back then. Plus, if they already had this technology back then, then we're in more trouble than we can possibly imagine. I don't think they did. We wouldn't even be having this discussion if they had nanotech back then. So, even if the strategy was the same, the goals this time are a lot more extreme.
@ryo@rimugu And of course, "assisted suicide" is something that they have been pushing people towards, cutting off their other options. Anyway, it's creepy as fuck that they actually make people that are going to die take it. They give it to people that get the death penalty too. What is the intent behind injecting nanotech in soon-to-be corpses?
@ryo At least he gave it away and didn't throw it in the garbage, so he's being wasteful on a micro level but not on a macro level, since the computer goes to someone else, that can use it.
@ryo You need to learn dialectical jujutsu. Use their bullshit against them!
Example: "Oh, you want to ban guns? So you don't want black women to be able to defend themselves from men and from white cops, you racist misogynist?"
Hey, it's technically even correct. Also, let's ban TVs and Satanphones because they are bad for muh environment.
