Antifa = antifascist like The Democratic Republic of North Korea is democratic.

Flip again.

Does anyone use the Oneplus 6T? It is suppose to be the most powerful hardware that can run Postmarket or Ubuntu Touch.

Mooby gives good advice! I tried out different distros in vm’s for 6 months after which I found myself very familiar and living in one more than my base os. At that point I nuked macos and installed Kubuntu no regrets. Kubuntu is a great start due to the popular Ubuntu base. Kinoite would be a good choice for its immutability. If set on Opensuse then choose Gecko as a more friendly way to install it.

They are not quite aweful, but thank the tao Plasma is customizable and you can set your own icon set.

So I guess you cannot process anything other than black/white logical fallacies let alone analogies.

FLOSS is Voluntaryism - it only requires voluntary participation.

People can grow food in the absence of technology - but subsistence living is a hell of time!

nb. Marxists still have no answer for the calculation problem.

What? How the f do you transition from ‘not only’ to ‘isn’t necessary’? That is not logic - that is mental gymnastics with a triple back flip! Profit is the PRIMARY motivator! People wish to move away from discomfort more than anything else. Currency is the best way of alleviating discomfort!

Linux and open source in general completely blow apart capitalist arguments that profit motive

Wrong! Linux and open source only shows that the profit motive is not the only motive. One should broaden the definition of profit to encompass value in all its forms. ie A person can gain value from the satisfaction of DIY as it can be self-empowering. One can gain emotional value from sharing. It also invokes the law of reciprocation - value exchange but without a $ sign. The Open source ecosystem is also heavily funded by business who relies on open source components. It is a capital investment.

Many will scream 'but FLOSS is political'. In fact the opposite is true! FLOSS is a reaction against the political imposition called Intellectual Property. It is ANTI-political!

Re: your link Some libertarians are practical. If governments have changed the playing field, widened the posts for example, you do not only aim at the original legitimate space. You are at a disadvantage and will loose. You adjust to the game and try to change it. So, allegedly, FEE took money from big businesses. So what? This is not an endorsement of the CORPORATION! If they took tax extorted it would be a red flag. Freedman - guilty of what? Removing rent controls! Manipulation, coercion of a market! nb Libertarians follow Austrian economics BTW.

Nice story, but Libertarians want liberty - huh! Liberty is the absence of coercion. Corporations are a forced manipulation, intrusion & coercion upon a free market. They have government granted limited liability, send lobbyists to manipulate rules in their favour and create regulatory capture to lock out smaller competitors. Competition is part of a free market - which libertarians want! Facts! Libertarianism was the original American ideal known as Liberalism, now Classical Liberalism. In the modern era you are better off referencing Rothbard than Freedman.

Interesting because libertarians are for FOSS as they are against IP. (It is not real property). Libertarians also like to degoogle as they like privacy. Libertarians are against corporations as they are not a free market creation.

I’m glad someone else feels opinionated about this! It seemed to me that everyone I come across these days only knows “Natural”!

At work I sometimes switch the scrolling over to traditional. Others get completely thrown out and cannot grok it! 😂

Traditional - unless it is fingers on the screen!

I just checked out Spacebar. Message did not deliver and phone call only opens dialer on the phone with the number entered.

A lot of fiddling and no joy was my experience with a friends 4. No camera and it was a nightmare. I would avoid! Starlabs?
