There are still lots of reasons that stop people from jumping 100% into Linux. Gaming is less and less one of them.

There you go, Trump. There’s your 51st state.

Wow, so you could be awesome but still choose to be a dick. Some people are born dicks but you actually choose to be one. It makes it even worse.

Not even Trump would be that stupid. That would be a complete detonation of any diplomatic agreement. The moment they’d do that, any US diplomat or representative in the world would become fair game to imprison.

I already knew of this. I clicked because I wanted the see the joke you weirdos would make.

I hate you all. Never change.

Pretty much this. The moment they actual reach end-game they’ll tear themselves apart. Fascism requires an enemy to survive. If there’s none available, they’ll turn inwards and cannibalize.

This scares the shit out of me. A hundred years ago we saw the rise of fascism. We saw freedom of expression being suppressed. But we had one thing going for us, which is the weakness of every dictatorship. The snitches are not enough and they can’t be everywhere. You never know when they can be listening and chances are most times they aren’t.

Now we are seeing the birth of a new fascism. Where AI can monitor ALL of us, ALL THE TIME. Not just our prompts. Everything. Everybody experienced talking about something with a friend and a few minutes later you are receiving ads about that thing, which you never searched before. Now imagine you are being monitored all the time for any kind of subsersive opinions. You won’t have a window to fight. The moment you give the smallest hint of dissent, you are efficiently removed from society.

And forget just leaving smartphones. More and more all our services are associated with it. Very soon you won’t be able to function in society without it.

AI won’t rule us. AI will be the ultimate tool to help other humans rule us and fighting back will be almost impossible. I feel this isn’t being talked enough and how eminent it is.

I just use spotDL to download albums directly from spotify/YouTube. I set it to download directly into the jellyfin music folder in a folder with the album name. This way I just paste the album Spotify link on spotDL and it’s done. The album is available with the metadata as soon as jellyfin rescans the folder.

Washing machine producers hate them.

Germany sure loves them genocides. It seems they are always on the side of one.

Is that tariff in this room with us?

Saying the IDF are murderers is not antisemitism it’s the truth. Equating the IDF with all Jews is antisemitism. So who’s the antisemite here?

America: Come on, you’re pulling that one out of nowhere. That can’t be the reason, we bomb people all the time!

No problem, how much is “everything” in USD?

This is legit because he has a moustache.

Let me guess, you don’t speak natively one of your country’s minority languages. But you have a grudge you have to live with those pesky insignificant dialects. You are not special. People like you are a dime a dozen in countries with linguistic minorities.

You are defending the disappearance of languages with fewer speakers, languages you assume as less important because you are a chauvinist. You’re not advocating the learning of other languages as L2, which would be a good thing. Lingua francas are a good thing. Pressuring minorities to reject their own native language is just chauvinistic and racist/xenophobic, no matter how hard you try to defend it as simple pragmatism (which is always just an excuse).

We don’t have the slightest common ground here. Our values are much different do there’s no point in discussing this with you. I’ve known lots of people like you. The country next to mine is filled with such people. My own smaller country was the only one lucky enough to stay independent and I’ve heard speeches like yours way too many times.

I can’t believe I just read this…and I can’t believe so many people upvoted this chauvinistic take on language.

Ahah, mine is the same as…

Oh. Fuck.

I have to respect the confidence.

No. Racism is prejudice on the basis of race. Being part of a group that is generally a target doesn’t excuse your own behavior and give a blank card for your own prejudices.

We are ALL grown-ups. Act like it. Asking someone to be aware of their own privilege is not the same as telling someone they’re inherently guilty to the genitals or skin color they were born with, regardless of their own actions. That is NOT “being asked to self-reflect” as you put it. That is simply prejudice and you will be called out on it. The same way I will call-out a cat-calling man, a man-hating woman or a raging racist, because to me you are all the same.
