yeah… yeah I want my infrastructure hardware to have ridiculous names like that.

‘natural rights’ okay so why are they right(s)?

is there public awareness that isn’t advertising?

yeah I’m usually the ‘I will make your machines stop using you’ friend. which is probably why I’m so bitter about people putting up with this shit.

heroes. we should support them more.

I understood more than half of that. I feel so smart.

your gf is kind of a tool and needs to crack or replace her TV.

I’m pretty sure the corporate property rights say you’re not allowed tho.

so maybe laws are fucking stupid and you do it because if basic human dignity or something?

well, they just picked up one follower.

it really is.

you’re not wrong but thats a whole different…thing.

responding to what? I don’t see how that follows.

you talk a lot about the conditions of a system that takes a staggering amount of maintenance as if they’re a natural unavoidable absolute of humanity.

then use that to imply that any of what’s currently going on addresses any of these problems in a way anyone who isn’t high (and apparently some of us who are) would ever accept.

its not convincing.

sure. you create a parental control firewall, and tell them they’re not allowed to see anything fun until they can get past it, and if they do, tipping off the programmeans youll look for countermeasures after a few days. here’s some good leads on the right white papers for a temporary fix. good luck!

you just described capitalism though.

literally, at its core, the idea that ownership is what provides value-not labor or the soil or whatever.

literally veneration of big money over everything else.

yep, fucking peasants. should know better than to think yourselves the equal of hereditary inherited-but-not-as-formally aristocracy.

if you don’t steal it, it never existed.

no I’m saying weirdshit that made me fudge things in Linux. and I could. it was easy.

in windows my issues were all ‘this isn’t supposed to work, this isn’t allowed’ and I had to fight the system rather than finding the right config file and changing a couple lines.

so my windows problems were much simpler shit. things like getting the taskbar to to what I want, or getting windows to not explode on top edge of screen (literally a checkbox in KDE plasma)

that was the conclusion I came to, yeah.

oh yeah that could happen, but just to be sure…
