wow. Every new sentence more hateful than the last.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 5 weeks ago:
“the group that lived through obscene levels of violence and abuse throughout dozens of centuries is incorrectly (that part is true) labeling all members of said group as abusers, let me join the group advocating for more abuse” - how the hell does one justify this unhinged statement is beyond me. I would like to clarify, I completely disagree with the comment you replied to, I think it’s deeply incorrect and unfair, in addition to ignorant, but that’s really not grounds forresorting to fascism and treating women as animals. Because if that justification of a minor uneducated subgroup being ignorant was honest, the extreme on the right are soo much more evil.

I lean quite to the left and have rarely, if ever, heard many boogie-man talking points in this comment thread that people are obsessed over. And in terms of “centrists” equating patriarchy with men, for me it’s an intelligence/education issue, combined with refusal to have real life human contact with women, and, of course, choosing to blame literally the oppressed for all the harm that patriarchy causes them or their fellow men
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 5 weeks ago:
competitive spirit is very healthy, however we have decades of very well documented evidence of how keeping it unchecked and alienating anyone with emotional intelligence plays out in real life. I also never called men as worse human beings - case in point that anyone pointing out the toxicity in **male only **culture is labeled as hating men
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 5 weeks ago:
my existence and me wanting to not be oppressed is not “the left”. Men throwing tantrums at not having unchecked control over women in the workplace or not having maids at home is not an “articulated” problem or a solution. I’ve done nothing but give support and love to good men around me who are partners or friends because I hurt for how much harm patriarchy inflicts on them too, and having heard from them how toxic, unjust, and completely devoid of empathy the oppressive environment created by their fellow men is, I have zero tolerance for people advocating to keep subjecting humans to that culture.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 5 weeks ago:
The fact that you’re the only person who pointed out what men can do and are being downvoted is insane. Everyone else is completely blind to even entertaining the idea that progress might not be the main problem.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 5 weeks ago:
liberal politicians and liberal MSM frame it that way, because they have nothing else to offer but toxic culture wars.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 5 weeks ago:
wow. most of what you write creates culture that completely excludes and alienates women. See: hostility of current male dominated fields towards women. Blows my mind that you consider going backwards, rather than male culture evolving to be better human beings, to be a solution.
- Comment on YSK that after leaving power, Margaret Thatcher became a lobbyist for tobacco companies 1 month ago:
It’s not anger, I know people who praise Thatcher and it is unpleasant. Having one more argument against her in the conversations is a positive improvement on my life.
- Comment on What would it mean for the world if America was confident they developed a technology that would act as a fool prove deterrent from nuclear attacks what would that mean for the rest of the world? 2 months ago:
core if your question was about the outcome that such technology would have. The reasoning behind the treaty explains that outcome.
You’ll benefit from working on being a more receptive to new information
- Comment on LibreOffice: We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues 2 months ago:
I feel like you’re confusing the “look” with “layout”. Colors, margins, element sizes are not properly aligned, and it creates genuine physical discomfort
- Comment on LibreOffice: We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues 2 months ago:
It looks the same as it did when I formed my opinion, and I keep checking it out on a yearly basis. I sincerely want to use it, but I get physical discomfort every time I open it. I have put a lot of effort into forcing myself to accept poorly designed foss alternatives but the look and feel of Libreoffice is simply intolerable.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 2 months ago:
The core is open source for some of their editors, WebStorm is not for example. Some frameworks and tools are only supported in the paid edition, and I missed then within the first hour of using the community version.
vim and VS Code are not alternatives as they are not IDEs, just editors. Especially for vs code, it manages to barely do half of what IntelliJ does while being slower and hogging way more memory (this is before extensions). I also do TDD and when I pair up with my coworkers sometimes we are not able to find equivalent features that make my development easier. And don’t even get me started with a debugger, in vs code it manages to take up more space while giving less information and options. It’s simply inferior.
I’ve tried and tried to create an IDE equivalent setup in vim and emacs but it was always “off”, I was stuck for hours and days trying to set up functionalities that work out of the box in IntelliJ, and after some months I just gave up.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 2 months ago:
Ableton, IntelliJ, 1password are miles ahead their alternatives. I also haven’t been able to replace google maps for public transit (very sad about that).
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 2 months ago:
I have home assistant green, I just plugged it in and it set itself up fully, zero intervention needed. In a few minutes, everything was ready and it automatically found and (after confirming) imported all my existing stuff. Flawless.
UX is very unintuitive though, I’ve had it for a while and can not get used to how things are organized
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 2 months ago:
drawio is not open source
- Comment on Have there been any major changes noticed in countries that have recently split? 3 months ago:
Members of the USSR were sovereign nations invaded by Russia, with most cultures not even Slavic and in no way related to Russian. Erasing their identity so casually makes my blood boil.
- Comment on Google will develop the Android OS fully in private; Will continue open source releases. 3 months ago:
oh, got it, thanks. feel so bad about people having read my incorrect comment haha
- Comment on Google will develop the Android OS fully in private; Will continue open source releases. 3 months ago:
That’s a huge change. Reviewing one years’ worth of code at once is practically impossible, this significantly reduces the chances of a third party spotting malicious changes in the code.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
that’s great to hear, thanks for the info. It’s strange that they don’t mention that on their websites more prominently
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
they offer so much, I’m surprised I hadn’t heard about them before. Most of their apps have proprietary clients though, right? And they don’t seem to offer privacy features like simplelogin for email, which was the main reason why I subscribed. and additionally, one would then have to pay separately for vpn
- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 3 months ago:
omg totally, I hate that people do that. I don’t see a way out without introducing digital literacy classes at schools
- Comment on FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies 4 months ago:
it doesn’t have to be only meaningless computations. And even if it were, the cost is nothing compared to such a huge scale of privacy infringement
- Comment on FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies 4 months ago:
is it? Someone mentioned proof of work being effective for Tor.
