This is nonsense like this that gets a useful tool like the Flipper banned in countries with even dumber politicians.
You want to be part of the electrical grid? Stick your fingers in the mains outlet.
- Comment on All cults go through phases of culling the non-believers. Anytime you justify a cult leaders anti-social behavior solely for the benefits you get by keeping the cult going you've begun this process. 12 hours ago:
A lot of them end up culling the believers too in the end.
That should be concerning to MAGA.

It means let the fuckers know they can retreat from their extreme or misguided political stance and come back to a more reasonable point of view without consequences. It’s a variation of Sun Tzu’s “Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across.” : if you don’t, they’ll fight you to the death because they have no other option.
My problem is, however reasonably the idea, that’s a bit too rich for me to apply to imbeciles who turn their country into a fascist hellhole.

That’s what I keep saying: Trump isn’t the problem, he’s a symptom.
And the disease is that a majority of voting Americans are either morally bankrupt and gullible enough to overlook all that Trump did and said and elect him, or actively fascist.
And that’s why, when people tell me I need to “make space” for those people and give them an exit ramp, so that when Trump finally turns on them too, and they realize what they done did, the nation can heal and come back together, I say: fuck this shit.
I don’t want to make space for immoral morons and fascists. These people deserve what they’re about to get, and what they’ve inflicted on the rest of us who didn’t sell out, and they’ll never come back from the moral quagmire that made them think it’s a-okay elect a fascist POTUS.

That’s what happens when Big Tech trap people in information silos and the media manufactures different fake realities depending on the bias of the particular billionaires who happens to own the outlets: people don’t share a common experience anymore and don’t have common facts to agree on. As a result, everybody has their own truths from their own information bubbles and nobody know the actual facts anymore.
- Comment on Fediverse alternative to Facebook is what's really missing 1 week ago:
I suspect a lot of people use Facebook because they’ve always used Facebook - mostly older folks at this point - and a lot of the younger folks go there because their favorite association / football club / local restaurant / library are there too.
Meaning Facebook’s success today is mostly inertia: there’s no way any open-source replacement would pull a critical-enough mass of people away from Facebook to fight the inertia enjoy any meaningful success. I’m pretty sure open-source developers know this and chose something fancier and more exciting to spend their time on.
- Comment on Fediverse alternative to Facebook is what's really missing 1 week ago:
Facebook is like Myspace: it’s has-been. If I was a developers interested in contributing to the Fediverse, that’s the last social media I’d choose to spend my time reimplementing.

- Comment on FSF Announces The LibrePhone Project 1 week ago:
That’s nice but…
Here’s my experience with my Linux phone (Ubuntu Touch on Fairphone 5): it’s fully functional and mostly usable as a full Android replacement. But the keyword here is “mostly": The Openstore has native Linux replacement for half of the stuff I need (calls, SMS, emails, browser…) and for the rest, Waydroid picks up the slack (my Android-only banking app, Yubikey app…).
And then there’s stuff that’s neither available (or rather, working) in native Linux nor in Waydroid. And the killer app I desperately need, Signal, is in that group.
And that turns my promising Ubuntu Touch phone into a very fancy paperweight I mostly leave at home.
Here’s my prediction: the LibrePhone will be another paperweight for the same reason. And the sad thing is, it’s not for lack of trying on the parts of the alternative OS and app makers, or lack of good will: they really do try their best. But it’s a chicken-and-egg problem: people don’t want to code for niche mobile OSes and stick to Android, and the niche mobile OSes remain niche as a result.
Unless the LibrePhone comes onto the market with a certain number of key apps that a vast majority of people will need, it’s doomed.

Trump wrote: “THIS EPIDEMIC OF VIOLENCE IN OUR COUNTRY MUST END, IMMEDIATELY!”
Well, the man ended 10 wars last month - including the vicious conflict between Aberbaijan and Albania, and of course the Ukrainian war on day 1 of his presidency. With such a strongly-worded tweet - in all caps no less! - I’m sure the epidemic of violence will end immediately.

- Comment on Elon musk is a pedophile 4 weeks ago:
The rich aren’t facing the law
The point I’m trying to make, as a regular Joe who isn’t mega-rich on the backs of everybody else, is that we’re better than that.
- Comment on Elon musk is a pedophile 4 weeks ago:
I’m only applying to Musk or Trump the standards I would like others to apply to me. If I was wrongly accused of being a pedo, however vile an individual I might otherwise be, I would like others to have the intellectual honesty to say they have no proof, even if they hate my guts.
Also, it reflects poorly on people who accuse others of things without proof. It certainly would feel good to go around saying Musk is a pedo because the man is so abhorrent. But it would also be wrong.
- Comment on Elon musk is a pedophile 4 weeks ago:
I honestly don’t think all people in the Epstein file are pedophile, even if they went to his island, even if they went multiple times, anymore than all the people in Charlie Manson’s diary were loonies and serial killers. It does cast doubts on what they did or did not know, but it’s not proof of wrongdoing in and of itself.
What being mentioned in the Epstein file really means is that those are utterly disgusting people who are part of a disgusting elite. The friends they keep say a lot about them, and what it says isn’t good.
I do believe Trump is a pedophile however, even if he was only mentioned twice in the Epstein files - in the birthday card and in Epstein rolodex - because both clearly show that Epstein and him have something a lot more special, dark and unavvowable in common that just partying together.
So no, absent more proof, I’ll assume Musk is “only” an obscenely wealthy, dangerous neo-Nazi with a ketamine addiction and a pedo daddy, but not a pedo himself. But I wouldn’t be surprised if the proof was presented soon…

they simply don’t care about anyone else but themselves.
Not even. They’re just fucking stupid.
Because if you only care about yourself, why would you elect a felon with a demonstrated history of pathological lying promising you anything? It sounds like self-harm.
Either that, or you agree with the fascist shit and you’re willing to overlook the lying and the felonies for the privilege of having a fascist in power.
Either way, be Trump voters stupid or fascists, I have no respect for them or their regrets.
