Wonder where he took the idea from…

I find it much more insulting that he took a whole nation for fools

Edit: but fortunately you’re right about all his failing projects.

AFAIK the Hyperloop thing was just a push to postpone investment in public transportation until Tesla has some market dominance and be proposed as better green solution than public transport

I think Thiel is worse for the world. Elon musk is more show and shine - and crumbles spectacular anyway

Also thanks to the EU forcing the manufacturers (of smartphones at least) to go for the same standard

Ah, ok, gotcha. Then we see it the same, I think

Cows and pigs are great company and can get really attached to you.

How does that differ - but just social norms?

Yeah, we tested our PA system at an exhibition in Atlanta with some songs and a colleague put in a song about anal sex. We were nearly kicked out of the whole thing, although pretty much no one of the workers was there anymore and it wasn’t even open to the public yet.

So yeah, cooperate America really seems to be more than just prude

There is also much punk (e.g. Kein Gerede - WIZO) on the index, so absolutely not tied to nazism in quite some cases, but only being anti establishment

In Austria we have an so called ‘Index’ of creative works, that are not allowed in public or to be sold - not sure if property is disallowed as well.

I don’t think, that hiding things helps any discussion, but I’m usually not the one, that makes those decisions…

I’m using Linux for desktop since years - even my non tech savvy girlfriend uses KDE without issues on her laptop.

What was your issue?

I can’t stand to work with Windows. Is gruesome slow and confusingly designed. Configuration is splittered across the system. Some parts in GUI setting tools, some part in registry, some part in specific files.
Error codes are completely useless under Windows. In Linux the error message gives me at least a clue what’s happening.

I can’t understand how anybody can really work with Windows. Gladly I can do 99% of everything in Linux. Only some industry hardware configuration tools are still stuck on Windows.

Nah, I created a Lemmy account at the start of June (at least the Jerboa installation date says that) and uninstalled boost a few days later. Only checked in on Reddit from time to time with libreddit, to have a look at the John Oliver party.

I deleted or mass-edited all my comments and sent an GDPR request. Only thing left after that is the account deletion.

Didn’t want to give them any traffic anymore, so I avoided everything about it.

I currently live the remarkable 2 and also had the first one. Wouldn’t want to live without it, but the software is still not really there…
There are some patched versions on GitHub with more functionality, but never tried it.

Company itself argues, they want to be as near to paper as possible. so not many features, which is a fair design choice, but the software still feels sluggish and unoptimized imho

as if we would back down - or even need to

all glory to the Fediverse!

I’m using NewPipe, which gives me music in background and no Ads
that’s enough for me

out of interest, what other advantages does a premium account have?

I complete get the frustration, I’ve just grown stubborn ;⁠-⁠)

and very nice to meet another Punk connoisseur!

well somehow have to reward and “punish” the network, so it learns.

maybe I’m just very stubborn, but I already let the complete family of my girlfriend switch to Signal, because else I wouldn’t communicate with them.

I think, I’m just projecting some work frustration into my private life and don’t want to eat shit anymore. so, if I’m not worth enough for them to choose a medium, I’m fine with, I accept, that they don’t want to talk with me. I do have no problem with less communication - it’s their problem, when I don’t show up to happenings.

But I understand you, I also take it somehow personally, when people tell me “what do you have to hide?”
As I was part of the founders of a pirate party in my country, I’m maybe more loaded with arguments, but I’m just fed up with this shit and I just don’t take it anymore.

in situations of being left alone, some lovely Punk music always helps me - and my girlfriend is on my side, so that’s a major influence as well of course

but hey, if everyone is just looks for convenience, I can do too

yeah, well, maybe…

usually unexpected situations have unexpected errors. so yeah, you could be right

I just revolted and said, if anyone wants to communicate with me, they need to use e.g. Signal.

I’m absolutely not installing this spyware on my phone
