You monster!

A duck? Very small rocks?

Is there any eli5 guides to things like f-Droid or the other platforms(?) (it used to be called ‘rooting’, don’t know what it is now) to be able to install LibreTube? Following the faq link from github, I see 3 download options, one I recognize as f-Droid, and 2 others.

I realize this should be “android 101”, but my ability to problem solve stuff like this is slipping away from me. (protect your brain, kids!).

Again?

And yet the Foo fighters and specifically Dave do benefit concerts raising millions and actually cook and feed disadvantaged people by the thousands. They also do (at last I knew) an annual multi-day trolling of the westboro Baptist church compound, which is a great thing imho.

Now, what is the measure of a man? Is it a sliding scale? Is it just the sums? Sure, that house framer has smaller sins, but does he have a smaller positive impact? Does it matter?

As I said in my last sentence, we’re all just arguing degrees.

And who is what at that mid-level grouping on the left vertical? I could guess at the colors, but I’ve come up with 9 different possibilities. It’d be nice to be able to tell which is leveling off and which is accelerating.

I’m talking about the point of the article and you know it. Which is why I have you noted as “Bad Faith”

Look, I despise Amazon and Jeff bezos. I avoid Amazon and work hard to find products from retailers that aren’t Amazon storefronts. But at some point, unless you’re self-employed and completely self-sustaining, you’re 1) whoring yourself out to somebody, and 2) sucking the knob of capitalism somewhere.

All we’re left to argue is matter of degrees.

So we’re just skipping the part about the execs treating themselves to a concert after many years of union busting, horrid working conditions, innumerable other abuses, and excluding the workers. But we’re going to shit on the people they hired for a gig.

Coolcoolcoolcoolcool.

Just to carry this train of thought forward… What type of device (make/OS) did you compose this post with? Unless you found a way to pass tcp via… I don’t know… clay you dig up in your back yard, it’s pretty hard to avoid ecological damage and morally-questionable employment practices. Participating in damn near any way with any economy makes all of us complicit, and at this point all we’re arguing is to what degree makes each of us uncomfortable.

The first sentence: “somehow, different than Linux” :D

We’d just need to lure a few suckers testers on the order of Taco to expose all the gotchas.

The absolute only thing I go back to reddit for is the patch Tuesday megathread. I do dearly wish that info was here so I could cut ties completely.

WOW is there a lot of mental health issues in that mtnweekly link… I wouldn’t visit that without putting on a double-layer of tin foil, and maybe some lead underwear, just to be safe.

Shit, congress passed a law codifying that too!

The absolute worst, most annoying thing about every Apple advert and the day-long adverts - the launch day events, is the freaking hyperbole.

(breathlessly exclaim:) The fastest ever. The thinnest ever. More cameras than ever! The most ever ever!

My coworker is fully bought in to the ecosystem, so I get the full experience every launch day. Listen critically sometime. Turn on your bullshit filter. It’s a fun game.

The original source was here, but seems to have been removed. Maybe the Internet Archive still has it at that location.

Ah, damn, you beat me to it…

Which is a special kind of ironic since China withdrew all their pandas from American zoos due to trade ‘wars’ (i.e. Tariffs in some goods) including the fantastic program at the San Diego zoo.

No, you’re right, the US sucks in a large way, in many, many areas. What we’re all a bit put off by, and maybe it’s the time zone difference, or a cultural communication difference, is that we’re having g a discussion, receive information that doesn’t fit the pattern of our experiences. For example, and I’m not quoting your words, just how I received them: everyone I know leases, oh, and the company pays it, oh, and this is in Germany. This Information wasn’t presented initially, and I suppose it is on us and our assumptions, but the reader had to sus it out over several threads and we are lambasted as insipid when we’re not in possession of all the relevant data.

As stated, perhaps that is our fault. Maybe when first presented with an outlier claim, we should ask: “oh, wow - that’s amazing - what country do you live in?” and that would promote a more upbeat dialog.

Anyway, guten tag
