This is like Epic suing Google, I feel quite conflicted about rooting for companies I hate, but they’re going after an all consuming plague…

Waylad is technically a better idea, the progression of X11, more secure and should be faster and smoother when it’s ready…

But I run into so many incompatabilities still and often janky support via xWayland that I really don’t think Wayland is ready to be the default just yet.

It will be, I’m sure, but for now I spend more time fighting it than I do using it. A bit of snazz in KDE and Waydroid seem to be the only things that actually need it, for me, and so many legacy things just nope right out and crash without going back to x by force.

I will admit things “just work” a lot better with systemd than it did fighting with configs under various init systems, but it’s far too bloated and centralized.

Like how so many use flatpaks now, which has some great advantages like simple sandboxing and great fine control of permisions in a simple manner, but is has Flathub becoming an “app store” for Linux with all the issues that has elsewhere.

The more sstuff is consolidated, the more risk of one person fucking it all up.

A good reminder how vile things creep trhough the foundation of a nation when allowed to do so.

It won’t run on my current PC, but I still have the original.

They’re putting the finishing touches on, been degrading for decades, ever since the focus of total control and surveillence shifted to them as a testbed.

Devuan has the easy repos like Debian, it’s a pretty straight forward fork, as is AntiX.

Void is great, but a bit more complicated, not LFS insane complicated but like Arch/Gentoo “Git good noob” complicated.

Really, any is good, and I’m looking at moving from Debian to AntiX.

Good choice, though…

Systemd is a mess, and the main guy is one of those obnoxious tech bro types who doesn’t listen to anyone and slaps crap in for no reason aside from his own ego. Everyone should be moving away from it, for many reasons.

And the second is far worse.

Most people, LGBT or otherwise, don’t really pay attention to who owns the data and how it is processed. It’s all in the ToS, and they just click agree. The “they” doesn’t need to be the on using it to be dangerous. In fact, I’d say it is more dangerous to have someone who is not malicious, but is uninformed, to be your exposure to the corporate backend that is actively monitoring your group.

I play a crafter because when I make something in a game I actually profit from it rather than having it all stolen and me left wondering why my bank balance is negative a week before my check clears.

“Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on.”

–Larry Ellison

The genocidal maniac, tech oligarch, and second richest man in the world who seems to think dystopian fiction is a guidebook rather than a warning.

Because they are after all the LGBT, nobody is safe, and the companies running these systems are building the profiles that will be used when they move on to the next step of christian nationalist agression.

I think it’s more likely Firefox forks will than Chromium forks, we already have some mitigation on Waterfox and Librewolf, despite Mozilla being a complete joke now they do still have some good projects fixing everythng they screw up.

Part of the point is there often isn’t any misbehaving, prior to ending up there, they make money off having “problem” kids and they manufacture problems to increase revenue.

We’re a business to them and, since they conveniently do not view us as people, some damage to th product is acceptable as long as it does not affect the bottom line.

Gotta say Eden is a drop-in replacement for Yuzu on anything tht called it, just symlink the executable, and it has a lot of fixes for thngs nintendo broke after Yuzu went away.

Amazing how long Yuzu was valid, considering how early it was released compared to most quality emulators, and if you’re not running updates that intentionally broke emulation it still works great.

As someone who grew up in these places “Extreme behavioral issues” generally means they’re putting you on so many drugs you can’t think straight and if you say no they lock you in a closet and beat you until you take the pill, or hold you down and give you a shot if they have an injectable version.

Physical and psychological abuse is constasnt and normalized, and sexual abuse is common and covered up, or the victims are blamed for it.

They get paid more if your “level” is high, so they make sure you are always a problem,and woe be unto the poor souls who find themselves there if they have a psychiatrist “on staff” because they will be getting those sweet kickbacks on forcing unnecessary and even harmful drugs on kids. And if they refuse to take them? Back in the closet!
