That won’t help. Innocence is no excuse against American cops.

Proton’s systems are built on proprietary software. I don’t trust them.

I can’t access that domain due to Datadome blocking. I’m on a residential ISP with no reputation problems from any source. I’m using regular Firefox on Linux.

This is negative productivity. It worked before, and now it doesn’t.

Most places in Europe and many places in China have functioning mass transit. Most places in the US do not. The car lobby is very powerful in the US, and they work hard to make life impossible without a car.

Ok, here’s one about China’s current crimes: https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/05/hong-kong-unexpectedly-canceled-one-of-its-biggest-lgbtq-events-china-may-be-to-blame/

China is authoritarian. There is no way to nonviolently unify Taiwan under China, because the residents of Taiwan would be forced to live under the Chinese government, which would use violence against them.

Flatpak doesn’t have digital signatures anyway, so effectively nothing is verified on Flathub

What countries would you consider Marxists-Leninist?

Don’t forget about present failures. In Russia, you still can’t be gay and talk openly about it.

“You’re a distinct character” is a compliment, not an insult.

You mean get Microsoft to take it down? And then it goes back up on a self-hosted git repo? This does not enable Bambu, Microsoft, or anyone else to sue Rossman in China.

6. It’s like eating a cracker.

Does Rossman have any presence in China? If not, and if the files are hosted outside China, there’s nothing China can do.

We aren’t socialists

Can someone explain what is the difference between that and socialism?

Because machine learning is already basically a mass copyright infringement. The training data contains copyrighted material. The model is clearly a derivative of the training data. The output is clearly a derivative of the model. Yet somehow, it’s legal (probably because they can afford good lawyers).

SNAP (food stamps) covers almost nothing. If you have zero income, you get $69 per week (if you’re even eligible). That isn’t enough to feed a person. SNAP benefit scales linearly with income, reaching zero at $12k per year. How is a person making $12k per year supposed to make ends meet on their own?

This program needs to be expanded, not restricted. Or replaced with a larger Universal Basic Income.

their anti-competitive practices

Do you have any examples? For reference, Steam does allow developers to list games on Steam and other platforms, and even to have lower prices on the other platforms. I haven’t been able to find any true examples of anti-competitive practices by Steam.

Yes. When I first opened my account in 2016, the second game I bought had advertised Linux support, but did not run on the first 2 distros I tested. On the third distro, it ran but I couldn’t play with Windows users, so it was useless to me. I got a full refund.
