    The point he was making is that the vast majority of violence in America takes place in gang warfare, and if you’re not in a gang, it is far less of a personal concern than it might otherwise appear. I know this because it’s a common one that these kind of people make all the time.

    It’s a bad point because it basically implies that gang violence doesn’t matter.

    E: downvotes for explanation, I guess?






  • Why the anticapitalist effort for free phones wouldn’t base their system on a reliable and dirt cheap product instead of the branded icon of the enemy is beyond me.

    Why has been explained time and time again. They’re the most private and secure hardware, bar none.

    Most OEMs don’t even let you unlock the bootloader, so that instantly disqualifies like 98% of the market. ARM is not like x86. You can’t just make a spin and then that spin basically just works on any old hardware, it has to be tailored to the hardware. And that takes time, money, and energy. Something GOS has limited amounts of.

    Most cheap phones are cheap because they’re subsidized by spyware.






  • In addition to removing ads in YouTube, it also gives ad-free YouTube Music (which fucking sucks because it always plays the video version of the audio). But honestly, the biggest problem is the app itself shoving shorts down your throat and lacking a bunch of features that third-party clients have. And even if you pay to remove ads from YouTube, you can’t pay to remove ads from the videos themselves. You can only do that with sponsorblock, which YouTube could totally just adopt if they wanted but as is, you have to use third part apps anyway.





  • “Deal with worse UX or pay us to develop more crap” is not a good way to entice “voluntary” donations.

    That’s okay because that’s not what’s happening, as I’ve already explained. It is a purchase, not a donation. It’s not a novel approach, many other beloved FOSS software take a similar approach to secure funding. Off the top of my head, Zorin OS, Immich, OSMAnd, OnlyOffice, Cryptpad, etc.

    You could have just listed the damn features twice already when prompted about them

    I was never prompted. You could have just asked. But I think it’s abundantly clear at this point that you just don’t want to know.

    Thank you for blocking me, I appreciate it.





  • They’re not wrong. His eyes are open in the photo. Poor choice of photo, as there are many more photos and videos circulated of him sleeping.

    “I’ve never seen him fall asleep,” Rubio replied. “On the contrary, the guy doesn’t sleep.”

    Rubio insisted Trump routinely calls him at 2 a.m. and 5 a.m., works late into the night, and has more energy than people decades younger.

    1. What is this Kim Jun Un shit? You expect us to believe the man doesn’t sleep?
    2. Assuming you’re not just continuing to lie, maybe being up at 2 and 5AM calling you is part of the problem?
    3. We already know he’s up at all hours of the night ranting on Truth Social. Man should be getting some z’s.
