Eh, let’s not get to impressed:

Owning the libs became a lucrative strategy.

Of course, the left made it easy for them. The left really did purge conservatives from universities and other cultural power centers. The left really did valorize a “meritocratic” caste system that privileged the children of the affluent and screwed the working class. The left really did pontificate to their unenlightened moral inferiors on everything from gender to the environment. The left really did create a stifling orthodoxy that stamped out dissent. If you tell half the country that their voices don’t matter, then the voiceless are going to flip over the table.

But he almost stumbled onto class warfare:

This political moment isn’t populists versus elitists; it is, as I’ve written before, like a civil war in a prep school where the sleazy rich kids are taking on the pretentious rich kids.

Privacy, UI/UX, admin controls, ads, pop ups or notifications, nagging about online services, AI, forced account creation, not working with older hardware.

Might be worth testing Linux with a separate drive. I know people still have trouble with Nvidia, but there are a lot of people (myself included) that just had to install the drivers and have had zero issues thereafter. Mine is a slightly older gaming laptop.

I have a desktop with an AMD card that I tried to put Linux on and couldn’t get the drivers to work. I’m going to try again in the summer and hope they’ve caught up.

I get where you’re coming from, but just like with the single day, people have to start somewhere.

These events can help people break habits and find alternatives without something as big as “never again”.

My favorite apple auto correct: changing the word before the one you just finished. You mentally verify that it’s correct, type the next word, auto correct fucks up the next word and then retroactively fucks up the word you already moved on from. Absolutely brilliant interface.

I used Boost on Reddit and it was a great app.

Google is forcing AI into all paid plans while raising costs on everyone. Might be a more accurate headline.

So… unstable government with increasing internet censorship.

Just requires one more comma after “destroy”

Although I guess while I’m being pedantic they should be ellipses.

With the extra commas he’s destroying their balls with his balls, just like they already destroyed their balls with his balls.

Uh, how much do they make per day under the current arrangement?

Still, hopefully progress.

It’s not about toxicity, it’s about mind control! Fluoride makes you passive. But you know this since you’re a tool of the government pushing poison.

Just bleach your teeth like normal people! You know, with the bleach under the kitchen sink.
