Is that AI machine turning kids black? Uncritical support to AI!

I wonder what the mouse person looks like under the mask.

I don't remember the lumber mill boss's name, but I like that his attire has changed to signify his proletarianization.

Sadly the most mild

I agree with everything you said. We really need more leftists contributing to the Linux and FOSS space and making media content. There's too many fascists that have a lot of spotlight in the community. I also believe Flatpak can be a really good way to install user software to minimize maintenance issues of native system packages (as well as the benefit of sandboxing applications and restricting permissions), but I'm really disappointed that they are now considering age verification checks.

It does make me feel gross to make valid criticisms of these tools being exploited by capitalists, and it's muddied by chuds who exclaim "muh freedums" and harass developers who don't have infinite time to support every system.

I've never been presented with any reason as to why people dislike systemd other than "Linux is about choice", when the choices in my eyes are like having 50 cans of the same soup at the store with slightly different ingredients and half of them are expired.

My issue with the Linux ecosystem becoming heavily centralized on a few tools that most distros are built on and reducing the modularity of these tools is that it leaves most users vulnerable to attacks on their privacy (and supply chain attacks) and ability to protect themselves from capitalist surveillance when age verification and other dystopian laws take effect, and it becomes more difficult to escape from these dependencies. I also don't like systemd as much now because of the poor code quality from its heavy use of AI slop.

I get that many tools are reinventing the wheel, and developers' free time and funding are very limited, though I believe many tools still serve specific purposes better than others, and it's good to have a backup when one dev team decides to make a controversial, unethical decision that puts users in jeopardy which happens very frequently.

When people say "Linux is about choice", it does sound idealistic, but honestly I believe they are not wrong to an extent. The Linux ecosystem needs to retain its modularity, otherwise it becomes easier to exploit and enshittify like other corporate proprietary operating systems. I wouldn't care about this as much if we weren't under threat of this capitalist dominated world.

Yay!

@Awoo@hexbear.net I noticed a couple of comics have been released. I was just curious when you may post them again, though no rush and no pressure.

It looks like you forgot the link

I wanna rub da belly 🥹

I really need to get back to practicing my Chinese audiobook.

The Telegraph: Chinese Boeing 747 cargo aircraft disappear from radar as they approach Iran.

China has probably supplied something to Iran and may continue to do so.

Boeing 747 cargo aircraft flying from China do not exactly disappear intentionally from radars, as suggested by The Telegraph.

Based on our findings, they land at the airport in the city of Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan. Although the city itself is close to the border with Iran, that doesn’t necessarily mean anything. From there, they continue on to the European Union.

The media are obviously just creating a story out of regular stopovers.
