We no longer need hipsters, rappers, or lovers of Western culture — only Navalny supporters come from them,”

lol

Can do, bucko ;P

Is that supposed to say beaucoup?

Well clearly this guy was smoothie brained.

what are you advocating for?

Probably a conversation, composed of logic, not tongues, riddles, idiocy and lunacy.

If you’re here saying Ukraine is bad because it’s forcing people to go invade another country, and you’re going to make no effort to acknowledge the situations that have put them in a position to even need to have considered doing that, you’re an idiot.

Heh, I had a similar reaction when reading a similar email. There certainly have been “Horrific terrorist attacks”. Except from all sides… for many decades…

I, too, have had the audacity to say WSL is useful on this community and it was also met with down votes. Purists hating and gate keeping, and then they wonder why Linux isn’t more popular.

Coincidentally, lemmygrad and hexbear users can indeed imagine being that stupid.

I don’t even know what you’re talking about so apparently it didn’t do that good of a job

Yeah but they’re extremists and terrorists who want to control all aspects of the media, stop women from having rights over their bodies and return to their place in society serving men, criminalize everything that goes against their religious beliefs and restrict voting and democracy to preserve their ‘values’, carry guns with them everywhere and fanatically praise their leaders.

Err, there’s some differences somewhere I’m sure…

cries in proprietary

For the ‘average’ user you’re suggesting to be helping none of these are remotely difficult to address…

“I’m confused about antivirus,” Windows handles it

“I keep forgetting to check on updates for the program I use so much,” The apps you use will ask to update when you use them

“I’m unsure if I’m on the correct site to download an exe file from,” The website for the application

“I keep getting ads in my taskbar,” Disabled in literally 3 seconds at install and never think about it again (yeah it’s dumb it happens at all, fine)

“I was going to find a different browser to use but my computer dissuaded me from doing so,” getfirefox.com. install & run. Click set default browser when it pops up.

If you can’t answer a simple one sentence answer to an easy question I don’t think it’s Windows fault. I say this as somehow who has helped tech illiterate people of all sorts on Windows, Linux, and Unix systems over the past 25+ years.

there is no such thing as a distinction between “democracy” and “authoritarian”.

Lol. Ok.

I never said anything about you praising authoritarian leaders, that’s the picture you’re painting in your head. Whether or not you’re praising them, I think ‘supreme leader’ encompasses the definition:

“leaders behavior that asserts absolute authority and control over subordinates and [that] demands unquestionable obedience from subordinates.”

Unquestionable obedience. Like a master and a slave. Like a dog.

‘Tankie’ is often associated with Marxist-Leninists.

Taken from the ‘communism’ wiki page,

Communists often seek a voluntary state of self-governance but disagree on the means to this end. This reflects a distinction between a more libertarian approach of communization, revolutionary spontaneity, and workers’ self-management, and a more authoritarian vanguardist or communist party-driven approach through the development of a socialist state followed by the withering away of the state.

Would you look at that. Authoritarian approach. The root of disagreement among communist.

The age old tradition of cultural appropriation.

Would you prefer Authoritarian Left instead? Because authoritarian is authoritarian is authoritarian. Left or right fuck off with your supreme leader bullshit.

Modern fingerprinting using things like browsing habits, installed software, web browser size, cookies, etc is barely effected by VPNs and the Tor browser takes care of an minimizes lots of those tools.

But can’t you just spoof most of that if you really want to? If you’re putting in the effort to be concerned with anonymity.
