I think for most privacy nuts it comes down to “I don’t trust them and it’s closed source. They could be hiding anything in that code.”

And then there’s the people who can’t afford or won’t spend the money it takes to have an enjoyable Apple experience. It genuinely costs multiple thousands of dollars to get into the Apple ecosystem and then it’s massively painful to get out. It’s basically just “corporation bad” because corporations are bad. The only way to be truly private is to not carry a phone at all and use only FOSS solutions.

If you have terabytes of data in iCloud, use their mail, contacts, photos, everything? Plus decades of purchased content, expensive devices losing functionality by dropping the iPhone… you have to basically replace everything with something else and it’s tedious especially for a less techy person. This is the reason walled gardens are anti consumer.

Oh good. 6.1 seems to fix the only bugs that have personally bothered me. I’m stoked!

BlueSky bans Nazis and transphobes. Twitter encourages them. It’s that simple.

This is for content warnings. People discuss political things on a site like blue sky. This is to hide such discussion in case even hearing the topic being discussed is harmful for you. It’s a good feature.

    I have a very simple rule.

    If I am seated, I will tip. Bartender, barista, restaurant, doesn’t matter. If I’m walking up and standing around and serving myself, you can shove that iPad up your ass.

    It’s because progressives always vote blue anyway, when they do, and represent a small portion of the voter base. Most Americans are liberals

    Sneptaur,
    @Sneptaur@pawb.social avatar

    Right now the goal of electoral politics is to move back toward like… classic liberalism. As opposed to neoliberalism or worse, fascism

    Sneptaur,
    @Sneptaur@pawb.social avatar

    Conservatives are just liberals but more racist. Change my mind.

    If you lump together all the liberals you get enough to win an election. And that includes so-called “moderate republicans”

    Sneptaur,
    @Sneptaur@pawb.social avatar

    Because they know both of those options are terrible

    Sneptaur,
    @Sneptaur@pawb.social avatar

    I’m a progressive. Why would I do that? Most progressives live in states where voting for President has no effect anyway. The blue wall, + New York, + Illinois…

    Sneptaur,
    @Sneptaur@pawb.social avatar

    The left wing is gonna vote for him anyway, if they vote at all. Half of the leftists I talk to don’t even vote because they say democracy is a failure and nothing matters. To a liberal, a leftist is an extremist.

    I don’t think he’s trying to “cuddle up with fascists”. The fascists don’t represent the entire party just as progressives don’t represent the entire democrat party. He’s trying to get the uneducated “always vote for the guy with the R next to his name” type dudes. They exist, plenty of ignorant people out there.

    Biden and the DNC have made concessions for progressives too. I celebrate those victories because if I don’t I start to lose hope.

    The last link contains the White House’s own stance on the issues. It’s good to see their takes and then fact check them.

    I know he’s not nearly good enough. I hate that we had to compromise. But we have to keep our eyes on the prize and take our wins where we can.

    Solidarity forever.

    US power came from having more guns than the other guy.

    So history goes.

    Sneptaur,

    And yet he’s still more likely to win than Biden.

    Sneptaur,
    @Sneptaur@pawb.social avatar

    Hillary and Biden are both pretty decent candidates. They both seem to have poor electoral strategy though. Its so bad it almost seems by design

    Sneptaur,
    @Sneptaur@pawb.social avatar

    And if he does get jail time you won’t reflect on this thinking

    Keep this advocacy up. It gives us hope and helps us stay the course.

    Recent political ad from the campaign

    Thanks for adding an article link to the replies. It adds context for anyone who sees this later, much appreciated.

    You’re now caught up on modern US politics. There are three parties, and two of them are currently unified under the DNC. Only one of them is outright loud proud fascist.

    Finally, they’ve optimized this game. Shameful that they released it in an unfinished state, but at least Bethesda is continuing to work on it.

    Sneptaur,
    @Sneptaur@pawb.social avatar

    Consoles are not intended to turn a profit on their own. Game sales are intended to turn a profit. There will always be a demand for an easy-to-use box you can buy for less than a PC and plug in and play games. The console is a loss leader, the games are the real profits. Why wouldn’t they publish on more platforms? They lose money on every console sold.

    I’m glad competition is so strong in the PC market.

    Sneptaur,
    @Sneptaur@pawb.social avatar

    I think a lot of this sentiment is more true for the previous generation (PS4, XBOne) because those consoles could barely keep up with PCs at the time. The current generation of consoles have gotten so good that the average consumer would have a hard time telling a console and PC game apart. This is, of course, because the modern consoles are just gaming PCs themselves, with very tight integration.

    Just think about your average dad who buys a TV at best buy. Now think about how he’s going to be so impressed by the on-by-default HDR feature on the PS5, and how he can also be sold on the home theater aspect where the device can play 8K Blu-Rays if he wants.

    I’m not arguing that consoles are the best thing, or that they’re going to be the same forever, I’m just saying they have their place and I don’t think they’re going away.

    Sneptaur,
    @Sneptaur@pawb.social avatar

    For my money, I think Sony will release a PlayStation store for PC, continue pushing the cloud thing, and start allowing third party app stores on consoles if and when they’re forced to by regulators.

    Sneptaur,
    @Sneptaur@pawb.social avatar

    Very reasonable take. I’d like to toss a little bit of credit Sony’s way for their excellent controller design at least! I’ll keep buying consoles so long as games are still sold on physical media for them

    Sneptaur,
    @Sneptaur@pawb.social avatar

    You mean to tell me they couldn’t plug in their own USB controllers?!
