- Comment on Why is it called linux phone? 4 days ago:
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

- Comment on Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again? 5 days ago:
No, not really comparable. Unless your blue anon and think Trump cheated. Probably more apt to compare J6.

I’m not surprised he took one to the neck and I think you’re projecting. Fascist should be met with bullets to the neck.
Learn your history. This ain’t new. Violence solves fascism.
- Comment on gun, nuts 1 week ago:
Progressives have always and continue to have a healthy love of guns. It’s only in the past 10- 15 has it become this stupid binary issue at the national level where you can’t have a common sense debate and you get morons banning silencers.
Go ahead and try and win an election on banning single shot rifles. This wasn’t some idiot unloading 15 shots into a crowd. From what I’ve seen, it was a well trained single shot from someone who had a plan. What gun laws are you going to get the votes for to stop that?
- Comment on gun, nuts 1 week ago:
Keep guns out of this. I like my guns. I’m happy Republicans are afraid.

Peak Reddit/Lemmy
The infantilism is so high. Teenagers just can’t be trusted with a dangerous drug like caffeine!
God you people suck. Annoying everyone into fascism.

- Comment on Anon is a gamer 4 weeks ago:
GTFO 🤣
The card is 9 years old, not 2. I bet you the number of gamers swapping cards every 2 years is in the single digit percentage.
I am in a peer group of friends and colleagues making 175-300k a year and not a single one of them is swapping a GPU every 2 years.

What do workers and unions have to do with Nazis?
- Comment on Tell them to fuck off 4 weeks ago:
Y’all be better off dropping the communist/socialist vibe.
It just serves to be divisive on a topic that doesn’t need to be. This just serves to divide Nazi haters.
- Comment on Anon is a gamer 4 weeks ago:
“I don’t have a large TV or monitor so nobody needs an up to date GPU!”
It’s a much different story at 1440 and 4k.

Multiple times, yeah you’re an inconsiderate loser. It’s not hard. Show up remotely close to the agreed time.

I’m honestly shocked that you get the sort of individual here in Lemmy that doesn’t understand the difference between a commercial company; and DHS, DoJ, JTAC, DGSI, etc.
Please read my comment again and tell me why you think torrenting might make you an enemy of the state. God damnit it’s hard keeping lemmings on topic.
- Comment on Exposing the billion dollar secret most VPN companies don't want you to know 4 weeks ago:
Again, stuff like this already happens. It’s not a secret. Governments regularly compel commercial entities and put them under gag order.
Your ignorant comments are irresponsible. I suspect anyone actually hiding from the state already knows this.
- Comment on Exposing the billion dollar secret most VPN companies don't want you to know 4 weeks ago:
Move that goal post a bit more. It’s clear you haven’t read up on how it’s used all the time.
I’m not saying I or the average person on this forum needs to use these measures. The average person isn’t hiding data or capable of hiding from the state completely. But do not advertise a commercial VPN as a tool to remain private from the state. It is a worthless tool unless the person on the other end is going to jail for you.
- Comment on Exposing the billion dollar secret most VPN companies don't want you to know 4 weeks ago:
And I’m sure the government hasn’t complelled them to do anything in the background.
