socially he’s not terrible but when the war drums come beating he’s stepping in line for the stars and stripes

Like pretty much every Finn would these days, really.

Not sure if being against Russian aggression can be called a “political belief” as nearly all Finns pretty much agree on it.

I’m not sure if you’re kidding, so I’ll just note that Finland and Iceland are NATO member states, and Finland is notoriously against Russian aggressions due to history.

Yes, Monopoly the game exactly illustrates the modern world. The goal is to get a monopoly of the proletariat because that’s much better than any alternative for super obvious reasons.

It’s like a good C++ that is actually able to replace it. There are lots of places where a good C++ is useful. Like everything that needs low latency and low resource usage.

But it’s not an easy language, so (I’m guessing) people who see everyone loving it but are unable to learn it start to suffer some sort of cognitive dissonance. If it’s too difficult for me to learn, that must be its fault, not mine.

I have been using X11 since 1996, and I never felt that it was very good. Sure, at the start it was better the then state-of-the-art desktop (Windows 95), mostly thanks to Linux, but that advantage went away in 2001 when OS/X was released. And even Windows went past it at some point, perhaps around Windows 7 or 8.

Wayland took a long time to get there, but it definitely is there today.

PHP is Russian. Used to be huge, caused lots of problems, now slowly dwindling away. Its supporters keep saying how it’s still better than the competition.

All fascist ideologies will use the argument of “Protecting the children”

Did they? Did you just make a reverse strawman fallacy?

Hey don’t blame me. You’re the one who used the A-word in a place filled with OCD nitpickers and in a discussion around CSAM.

Time to close all the fascist schools and put the kids back in factories as Marx intended.

And I’m thinking “hold on, there aren’t 2.7 trillion people here”

Element X is a completely different beast though. Not only is it a successful Rust rewrite, but they also fixed the system architecture of Matrix to improve speeds. They haven’t matched Telegram’s usability though, but they’re close to Signal’s.

Good ol’ Rust Rewrite fixing everything.

My iPhone is repairable and supported until 2028. And because Apple is refusing to make more mid-size phones, I will be using this one until 2028 at minimum.

You seem to imply that to use a fairphone means using a phone you don’t like

I tried Pop!_OS alpha1 with Cosmic Desktop and I even if the general software quality is still what you might expect from the first alpha release, I was impressed on the high-level design decisions they made with Cosmic. As a sway user who would like a bit more structure and hand-holding in my desktop, I think I’m gonna like Cosmic in a year’s time.

You’re welcome, corporal.

Beautiful train/metro stations can be found all over the world. Many of them are in capitalist countries.

I don’t think it does? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_reform_in_Esperanto
