I physically can’t use a browser without Vimium anymore.

#1 is Guyana, for anyone curious

That’s true, might not have gotten into Metroid later without playing this one. Good point!

Super Smash Bros (every incarnation). Never got the hype

The vast majority of federal cases end with a plea deal. Any idea if that could include forfeiting any right to run for public office? Would be great for peace of mind if so

Hope this brings us one step closer to never having to hear about him again.

Ubuntu at home (with sway), and unfortunately macOS for work (with its badly-broken and nonsensical window management)

No question, removing swappable batteries was pretty brazenly consumer-hostile.

One of the main reasons I’m 100% on board with stuff like the Pinephone, at least in theory (just wish Linux phones were actually ready to be used as phones… maybe in another couple of years).

I’m on a Sony Xperia 10 IV now. Amazing battery life, decent for one-handed use, has a headphone jack, SD slot, and meh camera. Mostly solid overall- agree the situation’s getting worse and worse every year

I’ve been voting with my wallet on this one for years- no headphone jack, no purchase

I’d vote for Windows 2000, but the point stands. All it needed (in hindsight) was virtual desktops

The only exceptions I can think of are streaming services that simply couldn’t exist as standalone one-off products (Spotify, Netflix etc). But yeah, there’s no logical reason something like Photoshop should ever require more than one transaction.

Alcohol is toxic, carcinogenic garbage and we’d be noticeably better off if everyone voluntarily stopped drinking it.

The world is a slightly better place without him in it.

Sure, though I like the idea of more explicitly supporting instances with better quality control.

Seems like there’s also no way around blocking individual users who openly support fascists.

Last night was horrific here in NYC (still not great now). I’d invest in an air purifier right now if you don’t have one already

edit: drastically worse than yesterday now.

I’ve already done the same, can recommend it

There’s a crucial difference: the PRC just jailed 32 people for very-knowingly risking life sentences to voice their discontent around June 4 and (more broadly) the National Security Law that has openly erased Hong Kongers’ right to free speech and free assembly.

If you’re a Chinese citizen standing in the street next to Zhongnanhai to criticize the unelected ruler Xi Jinping, you are 100% going to be hauled off in an unmarked van and locked away indefinitely. By all means, mount some very justified critiques of the USA’s treatment of BLM protestors, or its horrible track record around race relations, or policing, warmongering and overthrowing Latin American democracies- just be aware that ‘the USA being bad’ is not enough, when the goal is to justify authoritarianism (bordering on fascism) in China.

If they’re interested in having good-faith discussions, sure.

One of the main reasons I’ve switched over to feddit.de. Hope more instances have the sense to block servers that are openly pro-imperialism and pro-totalitarianism.
