Unfortunately yes. And even then, just having friends is still a privacy liability. Early on the Facebook app for Android would straight up just upload your contacts without asking, so they knew about me well before I caved in and made an account. Or, I'd give my number to someone and suddenly Facebook knows and asks me to friend them.

Not that it's a new threat: even pre-industrialization, you'd tell a friend a secret and before you knew it the whole village knew.

People are mostly incapable of caring for anyone's privacy but themselves.

Avec Trump vraiment, il suffit de dire qu'ils sont détruits, très bien détruits, le gars qui les a détruits c'est un très bon gars. On lui envoie la facture, et puis on livre la marchandise quand-même en prétendant un investissement français, tout le monde est content.

but really would feel bad for any packager maintainers.

It's already unpackageable because of the license anyway.

The only "legit" way to get the emulator is their provided AppImage bundle, and nothing else. The author also has a rant about Flatpak being broken and unreliable and refusing to support that, so...

I find mostly complaints around Wayland not working like Xorg, like complaining they can't just get the absolute cursor position and things like that.

Sounds very much like parroted points from probonopb's rants, like claims of "broken by design".

You can't fork it or redistribute it... but you can distribute patches for users to apply, and those are easy to add in a PKGBUILD. That's how a lot of game/ROM patches are distributed and they appear to be legal.

It's an emulator, lets be real, the majority of the users couldn't give a shit about license terms anyway.

ArchLinux users can be a pain sometimes, but we're also often right when calling out someone's broken software.

Given other drama around that project and the developer clearly being a Windows fanboy, they're probably doing a lot wrong and blaming the Linux fragmentation for it instead of doing things properly, getting called out on it, and then being pissed at the users for it.

Makes me want to write an intentionally buggy PKGBUILD with wildly unsupported patches out of spite.

I cringe everytime someone's like "subscribe to my Substack". No, fuck off with your substack, everyone knows they're nazi supporters, you're complicit.

What's crazy about it is literally nobody's pressured to become trans, like, at all. Nobody wishes anyone to be trans because gender disphoria sucks.

It's literally just "feel free to express your gender however the fuck you want, you do you, and we'll still respect you as-is".

Despite that, I never once thought about transitioning or being trans or fantasizing about growing a pair of boobs. As a cis man, looking like a women would just make me feel disphoric and want to be a man again ASAP. I never once felt pressured to transition either, and I hang out with a lot of very fruity people.

This idea that it's contagious and gives bad thoughts to people is just plain wrong, nobody becomes trans that weren't trans already.

Oh no, what a terrible thing to believe in live and let live and minding our own business. How dare we suggest we should treat everyone as equals and keep the government out of people's private lives. The horror.

Every other company is free to sponsor FOSS development too. You're saying that like Microsoft and Windows aren't already a defacto monopoly. Charge a FOSS contribution fee instead of the Windows license, done, Linux development sponsored by the manufacturers is solved and they too get to not get steamrolled by Microsoft.

A lot of it is FOSS so no, they can't take it back even if GabeN dies and a hostile takeover happens. They can stop giving out updates, which would be disappointing but far from the end of it.

They might not be benevolent, they're still a major breath of fresh air compared to basically every other gaming company out there.

Porn addiction is a real thing that happens: there's definitely guys out there that can't get off without it or even get it up with their girlfriend without it. Then yeah it's a problem.

But if you just casually watch porn, and it being unavailable for an indeterminate amount of time doesn't make you worry or uncomfortable, then it's fine and probably healthy. It is indeed often used in religious context the same way as DARE is presented with drugs: you'll have that one joint and be addicted to fentanyl until you find Jesus which is plain wrong.
