What?
I’m saying the number of American-Palestinians was not a high enough population to swing the vote to trump.
I’m not making a “both parties” argument so much as calling out the nonsensical view of “Muslims are why we gave Donald Trump”. Because we don’t. We have it because they ran an overall terrible campaign that failed to sway voters of all kinds to actually get out and vote.
How many million do you know to swing the election?
That’s not how quantum works.
You can’t decouple information from particles.
Source: have a degree in physics.
Let me try it this way.
If those 10 can undo the actions of the rest, did they really do anything?
Who needs enemy’s with friends like those 10…
So fuck people with disabilities then?
Your still believe computers are machines and not hand tools at this point.
How much copy paste do you think the average user actually uses of their computer?
Then they will never script anything. They will never automate a task themselves. They will only ever operate a computer manually, interactively, rather than programmatically.
Here’s the thing.
Most people don’t care about automation. They just don’t.
The objective of Linux is to put the spoon on the tray of your toddler’s high chair. Linux encourages her to pick it up, poke it at her food, and keep encouraging her to learn, to develop and build on her skills, until she is asking for the fork, the knife.
And your still refusing the point. People don’t want a knife and a fork. You can’t make them want it. They want something they can intuitively understand. Because to most people, tech is a basic tool to get another job done.
Most people only need a basic hammer, screwdriver, etc…
That’s all they need to do what they need day to day to get other things done.
Machinists need more complicated tools with tons of settings, complicated setup and saftey to know. So they spend the time learning. But you don’t need a wood shop to hang a picture frame.
This is before we even talk about accessibility. That means much more than large fonts or screen readers. It’s also about the fact humans exist on distribution curves in every possible way. For some people, it will just never make sense. No matter what you do. Because it’s just not how their brains work. In the same way mine can’t do languages very well. It just doesn’t click for me. And deep dives into computers wont click for some. Should they never learn to use a computer? Or can they learn basic enough functions from good GUIs to get by.
It’s even fine to say linux isn’t meant for that. But if you want everyone to get away from macOS and Windows, you need a viable alternative for everyone
Why limit to those two?
Because neither of us is currently talking in either of those spaces. Maybe because they’re both uniquely shit?
Here’s the thing
If you want 4chan, what’s stopping you from going there instead?
Clearly people here don’t want that. Or Reddit. Is why Im here at least.
If you don’t like the moderation, stop seeking places that moderate. It’s not an airport, there’s no reason to announce your departure.
So fuck others then amirite?
You don’t have to be a tankie to hate Putin. But you still should hate other hate groups.
So fuck minorities am I rite?
Anon forums are where hate groups flourish. Always have been.
It’s why the rest of the internet is moderated in the first place.
4chan is what gave us QAnon.
What in the world makes you think 4chan is something to emulate.
As a trans, AuDHD, DID system, I’m tired to buddy.
But the only way to not feel like that is community.
It doesn’t have to be much. Libraries offer ton of programming for all kinds of folks. Just start showing up unabashedly and if they don’t like it, you don’t have to stay either.
But the only way to survive is together.
It’s unencrypted messages make it a pass.
Canadian here.
It’s a old enough wound to joke about.
The tensions peaked in the 80s IIRC. But relarions have been steadily improving over the decades.
Quebec no longer has the desire for full independence, so much as identity independence. Which they have.
The joke in Canadian circles that Trump has made Quebec nationalistic in response, because only Quebec gets to destroy Canada.
How about you start organizing community?
That’s something you can actually do to resist.
It’s like this whole situation is coming from an imagination of a ten year old child.
It’s from a “man” who’s been drugged heavily for decades it might as well be.
America has had Canada invasion plans for centuries.
Also that has nothing to do with what I said.
How does qualifying a threat make it better?
Okay, still a non sequiter then, because that law has nothing to do with what you responded. Which was the point of getting that law, because no where does it call the actions you replied to moderation.
And for all I know your a Russian troll so have fun with that.
Can I ask how many of of your irl community is queer?
Because I see this opinion online, but my local queer community in Kitchener is all supportive of Palestine, and recognizes that liberation means liberation for all.
