Shall I go on?

No they won’t. They’ll double down by saying “UH YEAH BUT UH, NOT AS BAD AS GOOGLE!” like that is going to make it sound better.

I like open ended questions. I like questions that isn’t seeking to incriminate myself (see that shit all the time on Reddit and Quora like "what’s your deepest darkest secret? Like anyone is going to fucking tell you).

If I was a parent, I’d be one of those parents where the child has to suffer the consequences. No, I will not come to your defense when you engage with and anger trolls. No, I will not be responsible for any scarring you inflicted on yourself by watching things or seeing things not meant for a young person’s mind pre-adulthood.

I’ll gladly give them their own computer and I’ll give them internet access. I’ll gladly give warnings and cautions. But fuck with all of them whether it’s illegal activity that’s going to come at my doorstep or whine about anything you started - you’re fucked.

Linux for laptops. Windows for desktops.

Linux is not 100% there for me to really use. It never really was. I’ve sometimes tried to go through a folder of all of the setup files for programs and utilities I commonly use on Windows. I just know for a fact that while Linux has open source counterparts to some of them, they don’t for all of them. Even if Linux did, it always feels like I have to take an extra step or two, to run it as opposed to on Windows by simply clicking it to run.

Then it’s a matter of driver support as well.

Then it’s the relentless browbeating from Linux fanboys that just turn me off from considering going full Linux. I keep envisioning this scenario where someone is calling tech support for like an audio issue and the support guy is going “I see, well…all you have to do is…GO LINUX!” he shouts in the ear piece at the caller. He would repeat “GO LINUX!” over and over until the caller hangs up, while he’s still on the line, drooling over himself as he mumbles “Linux…” while imagining the Tux penguin, Torvalds and other open source figures. Eyes glossed over.

That’s the kind of fanboyism I can’t stand with Linux.

Every dragged out rom-com.

“We have a bad misunderstanding about why our relationship sucks!”

“Well, let’s sit down and talk it over, okay?”

“Okay”

End.

I think the causes are right. The execution is just very poor. I don’t understand what blocking traffic has to do with it, I don’t understand what throwing paint around has to do with it.

Honestly, I think protests should be a matter of information vs information and using the right information to combat the lies and deceit projected by those they’re against.

You lose traction of your cause if all that you’re doing is trying to be the biggest intolerant prick.

I didn’t like the Black Lives Matter movement, because their ranks contained people that destroyed streets and they seemed to just budge right in on everything.

I didn’t like the Stop Oil movement, because all that they did were examples of what I brought up about blocking traffic and throwing paint.

The Dark Web is full of honey pots set by the FBI. Chances are, you’re never going to find an actual hitman for hire without it being a sting operation.

Oh, I looked at the back of the book. Yeah I didn’t know they dared trying to mess with the FBI, VISA, MasterCard, PayPal, NATO and more.

Yeah, that’s going to paint a lot of targets on you. Wondered what got into their minds to do all of that.

What about them? Pffft…dude, they’d rather make fun of lolcows all day and pretend that they’re still in their edgy teenage years where worshiping Hitler and dropping the N word was the coolest thing to do to them.

Yeah I mean, it would really be nice right now to have some body around that can contend and combat the legions of crazy QAnon/MAGA people online. But I guess that really isn’t in their interest.

It took SOPA/PIPA to get them to act for a while. I don’t know, they run off of arbitrary rules only they themselves know to keep the mystique up. It’s like when we needed them the most - they’re sometimes there. When we kinda sorta don’t need/want them, they just show up randomly.

I think the dawning of the Chromebooks was really a huge sign. Sure you could install Linux on some of the early models. But then Google just caught on to this and decided to take even that away. So now you had all of these Chromebooks that can only ever run ChromeOS and whatever Google approved that could run on them. You just can’t do jackshit with them because they were also online-only.

And those were pushed onto everyone, particularly schools.

You can edit the main post you know.

And anyone that performs any successful hack, can also declare themselves as part of Anonymous.

It stopped being about self-defense, if anyone ever bothered trailing what Israel had been doing.

But, go watch the prime minister declare everyone anti-semantic anyways over this.

I think their direction has gone astray mixed with losing general interest mixed with aging mixed with getting caught. I think Anonymous now has just turned into a parody of itself thanks for 4chan (yeah I know it was born there) who turned it into a symbol of just shitposting trolling than doing the right things.

They used to have been prominent during the days when SOPA and PIPA had been brought up. Since then, activity has dwindled.

Trump definitely will.

He is a symbol for a large part of America where people will look at and wonder ‘…why?’ even if they understood. Trump is just a symbol of everything wrong with America contained.
