I saw it was from Microsoft and bailed before it even loaded… the only thing those clowns know about open source is how to try (and fail) to kill it

this is an amazing study in how to go carefully, point-by-point, through something, and refute none of it.

I think you might be 180° missing the point of the meme

if you’re in one of the areas it covers, Offi is pretty solid Offi https://f-droid.org/packages/de.schildbach.oeffi/

Citymapper is also not bad but the coverage is v limited and it’s not open source

I assumed each line represents time, so Spain’s values fluctuated some

if you mean bike (as opposed to motorbike) helmet laws I would drop them from your list, they’re unscientific garbage which have been found to worsen public health

if you think that a videogame with a gay character is “promotion of homosexuality” and “grooming”, but you don’t think the same about a videogame with a hetero character, then I would ask you why, and why you think that isn’t textbook homophobia.

Don’t threaten us with a good time Hughsie

the definition of enshittification is absolutely about money, it doesn’t just mean “making things worse”

yeah with this much effort folks could set up a jellyfin server and an entire piracy stack jfc

if only Facebook had started in 2004 and not 2024 we might have some historical evidence about how the company handles moderation or community safety or protecting user data or…

if only threads wasn’t launching literally today and we knew if they’d enthusiastically welcome hate accounts like Libs of Tiktok https://www.mediamatters.org/libs-tiktok/timeline-impact-libs-tiktok-told-through-educators-health-care-providers-librarians

last time I checked, IMAP/SMTP required not only a paid account, but running Protonmail’s proprietary bridge app

protonmail is also proprietary.

The entire concept of “quantum” is that it’s the smallest possible unit.

A “quantum leap” is the smallest measurable change in electrical charge.

The Planck length, based (it’s a long story, links below) on that smallest possible charge, is around 1.61×10−35 m. (That’s 0.00…00161, with about 31 more zeroes). Which is about as much societal/technical progress as I think Apple has made.
