Is there no love for Krita?

They basically write it off as a business expense at this point.

I have a 4th gen i5 and Firefox still runs like ass. I know that's a pretty old CPU, but the fact that it can still handle modern AAA games but can't run fucking Firefox tells me it's not my hardware at fault here.

It was until the current UI update. Now it runs like crap. Why didn't they keep the Quantum UI? It ran great!

What issue do you have with it?

Exactly. If conservatives will buy it anyway but lefties will screech and boycott, who the fuck do people think these companies will cater to first?

Someone else would have been a scumbag in his place. The only way to eliminate corrupt psychos is to eliminate humanity.

Critical mass. Everyone's friends are on Facebook and a lot of business and marketing is done there. Most people are gonna address their immediate livelyhood over the gradual and more difficult to perceive loss of freedom. For many people, not using Facebook is a disadvantage they can't afford.

"Violent groups try to manipulate your anger and disappointment." You mean like Facebook?

Hence why I use Windows 10 Ameliorated for gaming and Linux Mint for everything else.

I don't trust Trump either. If he was truely anti-establishment, he would have pardoned Julian Assanage and Edward Snowden. That said, Trump is a celebrity. Love him or hate him, he gets traffic, something an alt platform needs to compete.

He who wins the normies wins the internet. Most normies don't even know what the fuck torrenting is or that ad blockers exist. The only way a decentralized platform even has a chance is 1.) A borderline retard can use it. 2.) It has really good marketing to make it seem cool and trendy. 3.) It has some big name apolitical people to help it avoid becoming another right-wing political echo chamber.

Uh how bout nooooo

User name checks out.

I used to have a Roku and Youtube was slow as fuck. Glad I have an Android Box now, though I can't find a custom ROM with most of the spooky shit removed and installing ARM Linux is a bitch.

Best part is it has a free teir that's actually good. You mainly just need to pay for torrenting and better speeds.

Didn't PIA get bought out?

That is true too. Still I won't discourage it.

Yup. It's either "OMG my baby saw an uncensoed nipple!" or "OMG my baby heard a white guy say the n-word!"

Why not? More competition is a good thing in a capitalist society, and the more prominent alt services there are, the more likely someone might like one of them and move over to it.

I think we can have different platforms for different things. The problem is people expect 100% free speech, no idiots and zero toxicity and that just isn't gonna happen. A platform should make it clear what it's goal is and stick to it. Is it a 100% free speech platform? A relaxed hangout that "hate speech" would disrupt? What is the target age range?

They're just covering their own ass. Just about every teenager lies about their age when they sign up for stuff.

Why are you being downvoted? You have a point. Hiding the dislikes raises even more suspicion, especially sinces he's under the microscope of right wing media similar to how Trump was hounded by left wing media.

Maybe Youtube is pushing it BECAUSE your engaging with it. Youtube just wants your eyes on the platform, even if it's out of spite. That's why I mostly use frontends like Invidious instances and Skytube.

Richard Stalman has said some fucked up things, but given he's a computer guy who isn't really.... socially gifted... I give him the benefit of the doubt and consider that maybe he's just trying to think outside the box. Mental Outlaw goes over it very well. https://invidious.xyz/watch?v=FLHxY-QsQkQ

Matrix is a decentralized network. Element is the most popular chat app to use with it. It works a lot like the fediverse in that you can host your own stuff and connect it to everyone elses.

That would be a good reason TO be open source. If your browser is popular then that's free help!

Seems fair to me

Brave or Librewolf. Opera was bought out by a Chinese company.

*surprised Pikachu face*

I don't trust Microsoft Team's encryption anymore than I trust Whatapp's regardless.

Simps

They're following the money. They've already proven that virtue signaling and predatory monetization = money. They practically allow gambling already with lootbox ridden games.

They already have gacha games out the ass so the possibility of real rewards is probably an improvement.
