for 35€ is it really needed? it will pay for itself many times over
funny, somehow we managed to have these things before chrome became basically two orders of magnitudes exploded. are you seriously defending the size of chrome as rational? we are talking verbosity to the levels that even claude would be jealous of
but perhaps we dont need several gigabytes compressed code to have a browser. perhaps what google have been doing is an utter abomination?

so people just want to be looking at X for all the bot posts.. got you :)
Re:XCancel Taken Down Again on Tuesday September 15, 2026 @04:58AM (#49709692)
dont see how its bullying? someone is demonstrating a very childish point of view , almost to the point of preaching. which I would say a little bit of critical thinking says is otherwise. why else would so many want xcancel in the first place?
Re:XCancel Taken Down Again on Monday September 14, 2026 @07:15PM (#49705572)
then your understanding seems to be quite limited :)
that could possible be because you are not thinking about it from the angle needed to see :)
"far right" (gets 44% of votes.. lets not talk about that)

removing him from freedesktop is probably okay, and the distributions can of course do what they want, but blocking from the wikis seems inapropriate

question, what has the "wayland political bros" actually done except say its a waste of time?

how does it need systemd? also, you could continue using alsa using the wrapper, or you could use pipewire
and the thieves got away

except when you for example buy a spare part, which I know some people hate having the ability to do, but some of us actually appreciate

i think its reasonable that people who sell computer monitors also demand you purchase a computer or other output device from them. Why do you feel differently here? after all, a computer monitor needs a computer or other output device to work, no?
most traffic noise is not the engine, its tires and other such noises. modern cars, including combustion ones, make very very little sound

edit: for cars only, motorcycles etc make more

and asserting this to be true, do you really think these kinds of laws in ANY kind of way helps?
Re:U.S. State Department Pauses Immigrant Visa Applications on Thursday August 27, 2026 @10:38AM (#49465628)
oh please, everyone knows that its referring to their immigration status or legality of stay in country.

you surely must realize that any rational person just shrugs off listening to what else you might say when you start with such ridiculous interpretations

so that means your city is "literally hitler" and if you pay any kind of taxes that goes to your city, then so are you? :)

perhaps tone down the whole nazi shit. X is clearly not nazi, and neither is musk.

edit: and yes, I think its atrocious that they only post on X, they should be punished severely for that

Re:Nitter project received cease and desist on Tuesday August 25, 2026 @03:01PM (#49438926)
the problem here is, that a large large group of people do want something "to do with them" (and "them" not just being "maga losers"), but that for NORMAL users that sign up and use bluesky, there are others who choose that they must not socialize with them.

normal people dont understand how they can join specific communities or instances or whatever it is on the specific platform, they want something like "twitter" and then thats where they are, they dont want "some weird twitter instance thats not the main one"

and do other countries really put their criminal official in jail? do they establish any kind of restitution to the victims?

can you really point to a single government where they dont illegally communicate outside of logged channels, or any such things, to scam the voters? or where they intentionally promise something they have zero intention of keeping, or lying about whether its possible. and of course some such things are not considered crimes because the very people who would then be violating the law would be the ones who MAKE the law.

the vast majority of politicians worldwide are super criminals doing things that if you or I did even 1/100 what they did, they would lock us up and throw away the keys.

that was a significant different europe than today.

its not really difficult to filter spam off. I spend more time dealing with physical spam in my snailmailbox than my email spamfilter
Re:Self hosted email continues to steeply decline on Monday August 17, 2026 @07:55AM (#49329432)
spam filters are effective at dealing with that

seems like he or she might have an anger and racism problem? "white people have been making these for years?"

PERHAPS instead of being angry at white people, they should look a bit into what they do in their own backyard.

yeah, downvote away :) but it doesnt make it not true, and thats why the downvotes will sting the downvoters so hard

but perhaps they would if the adversary believed that they were fully willing to use them
its a good way to check if people are insane though. would be a cool tactic for new hire evaluation, monitor them setting up dev environment. do the curl | bash, and its instafail
and I propose that I take a 15% cut of all apple devices sold outside of apple stores. this should be super fair right? (of course one cant even fault them 100% since vast majority of people have been conditioned to think stealing more than that from everyone is 100% legit)
they would never allow it, atleast not for regular plebs such as you or I, consider if you made it say something politically incorrect? cant have that

well.. its not like they were hiding it when they said "think differently"
yeah, we certainly have no examples of people moving to deserts on this planet, and even considering it a very attractive place to live :)
