yes, keep telling yourself and your followers that so you can either despair or learn that the democrats tricked you and figure out a way and people just like you gusanos.

I got my laptop from system76; but I think it will be tuxedo next time

until there’s a star trek like cultural and social sea change; only money can convince the masses

i want to believe that the democrats could have won; but they’re so good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory that they still would have let trump win again.

bluesky will eventually enshitify like reddit and twitter did and like all social media platforms with investors/financiers behind them always do. (reddit in particular promised not to enshitify at the beginning just like bluesky is promising right now).

be ready to find a new social platform like you had to do with reddit in another 4 to 9 years if you go with bluesky.

even bluesky’s original creator already left bluesky because of the enshitification and created nostr instead to compete with it.

careful with it; i need the thing that you asked for too and crtl+r has been effective enough to prevent me to creating it.

i have a need for something like this too; but i’ve been making due with crtl+r and that’s been good enough to prevent me from taking action on it.

i know that i would still work mostly because i need the structure and also because my sense of self worth is improved if i build things with my own hands. (fingers)

in that case: i wonder how much “soviet union” is still lives in russia and whether or not there’s enough to keep the economic progress from vanishing.

i wonder how much of that economic progress will remain after the ukranian war.

They also help with producing logic if you’re stuck on a part of your project. Even if they don’t get it right, they give you a good explanation and and a better idea on what to do.

i now use it at the start of every single project and task that i work on.

i suspect that’s why google and microsoft jumped on it so quickly; their search engines become useless compared to chatgpt and i wonder how they’re going to enshitify it in the future to squeeze out more profits.

i wonder if it was an american military industrial complex fueled excuse to create a new profit stream in a new proxy war between russia and nato.

ukraine is perfect because the russians will never give them up for a myriad of reasons and that guarantees that american military contractors will be able to milk profits from ukraine as a proxy battleground country for as long as both russia and the united states exist; longer than any of us here today.

besides the head socket; this was me in 2005 as a lowly IT analyst with an entire laboratory’s worth of screens displaying glxgears 6 days per week making sure all of the workstations’ display drivers were working correctly before deploying them to the engineers. that 6th day was me coming in on a saturday or sunday to take advantage of the REALLY nice and expensive hardware to try out the few games that worked on linux at the time. lol

All tech companies eventually enshitify and we would never be able to remember all of them if they all became slurs. Lol

That would be perfect

europe is not on the american government’s shit list and you mentioned forking; so you’re as well aware as i am that removing the russians from linux maintainer’s contributors list will not impact american allies in europe.

your question is clearly posed in bad faith and i suspect that its intention is something other than discussing what the trajectory of the open source world will be like in the future when the american government has control over it and starts expanding that control onto other open sourced projects.

be sure to leave out sensitive things like passwords, names, etc.

a fork only pertains to the source in that repo; there’s whole other multitudes of ecosystems surrounding something like the linux-kernel project that can make forking an non-viable option and that’s the point of the government control; it’s merely a linchpin to keep the status quo afloat (for now) and as the status quo slips, they’re going to clinch harder.
