Yep. They drive all the decent people out of anti porn feminist spaces, like the porn is misogyny subreddit. They need to be stopped.

My view is that if we can’t have the things we want without ads, then we need a new business model. I’m not super into the whole kindness and donations model. If we need it to be state funded, so be it.

Why would anyone use a desktop? That’s like a baby’s toy!

You do not have to use the command line to use most Linux distros. I think it’s a good idea to learn, but it’s no longer a necessity.

1000% they are out there. Thank fucking Satan they don’t dominate certain spaces the way they used to! I always kept a lot of tech at arm’s length because I wasn’t capable of having a knock down drag out fight every time I formed even the mildest of opinion on a feature or something.

I’m sorry to put this so bluntly, but technical people are some of the dumbest human beings on planet earth.

I appreciate your earnest answer. I hope that it’s organic and legitimate growth on his part. My fear is that he simply decided not to pursue right wing stupidity openly. I seriously want to be wrong about that, but not everyone leans into the right wing lunatic grift economy and all that.

I was just wondering the connection between flatpaks and the terminal because I’ve never heard of flatpaks before and Wikipedia says they’re a sandboxed package management system or something?

Oh shit is that what the issue was??? Thank you for explaining! I thought it was literally blacklisted like that. I told those worthless dumbfucks to whitelist my domain and that shit just kept happening—and they made me do all the work every time. It was exhausting and frustrating. I’ll look into runbox, thanks again.

I wasn’t self hosting. I was just talking about your own domain, which caused me serious problems when flagged for spam.

Edit: I’m guessing it’s easier nowadays but I still carry that pain lol

I stopped doing it because I kept getting rejections from Microsoft from my property manager and some other important stuff. Drove me nuts.

I’m doing my part!

Linux folks used to be much worse about gatekeeping, but even 20+ years ago when I was first starting out, there were always decent folks among the techie dumbfucks.

I can’t load the link but the human beings at places like Enterprise where I usually rent are totally reasonable. They’re always like, don’t worry, only big things are an issue.

Your own domain for email hosting is a massive pain in the ass. Have you not run into a million problems with other hosting providers refusing you for possibly spam?

Did he back away from right wing stupidity?

I am so excited to see people embracing xmpp! I’ve been using it since 2010 and I was really bummed when my company got swallowed up by a huge conglomerate and we were forced to use their shitty proprietary one.

Interesting phrasing. How so?

No shit. The question is just about the current system. Your answer is like saying “How should we implement universal healthcare while capitalism still exists?” “Pass”. It doesn’t make sense.

Thanks for your thoughtful response!

That’s how much my student subscription is, that’s why I was curious. I think it’s $6.99 plus tax?
