Yeah that. And I say it as someone who, on a good day, will go on philosophical rambles about how piracy is in fact the moral thing to do.

Do people just not get that this is the entire point of a decentralized system?

Hop accounts, you lil' bitch. Don't sit in one server complaining about the owner of that server when you have a billion options.

And if your priority is the piracy community? Make the server that hosts that your homeserver.

Or just have more than one account and use an app instead of the default webpage.

It's not rocket science. People's brains are poisoned by centralization. Back in my day everything was its own separate forum with its own separate account and to be honest, it was miles better like that.

He was a bit of

A character

History remembers him as a buffoon. History is wrong. He was a sly old fox and his bumbling antics were masking quite the sharp mind.

Our first ever ruler from when we became an independent nation was known to carry pieces of roasted chicken in his suit pockets to sneak in snacks during the day.

I assume from your comment that you're not Brazilian?

Bolsonaro supporters knew "military backed coup" was the plan since day 0 and had been actively asking for it. "coup" might carry a bad stigma elsewhere, but for Brazilian right wingers and boomers in general?

The "good old days" for them have a name and that name is "the military dictatorship years. Particularly the 70s which were the most repressive years of the dictatorship". When saying anything slightly to the left of Hitler would get you disappeared and tortured to death.

(thanks for funding that, America!)

Bolsonaro's entire brand was built on nostalgia for the dictatorship, his big call to fame was that during Dilma's impeachment trial he made a salute to a dictatorship era officer that was known for being particularly psychotic on his victims

There wasn't a single Bolsonaro supporter who didn't know this was the plan, or that didn't enthusiastically desire a coup.

Also also when Bolsonaro left the country in a feeble attempt to escape the consequences of his actions (he was forced to return a few months later) his fandom took to camping outside military bases, hoping the military would go ahead with the coup, Bolsonaro or no Bolsonaro. :3c

Old news. Anyone who was here and was paying attention knew.

Even those on salnorabo's side knew.

All my wallpapers are custom furry art I commissioned. And I have several of them that I rotate around. Here are a few examples.

... Not that I disagree, mind. I've been on FF since like. 2007? Which was the moment I figured out that other web browsers besides IE7 existed?

Never saw reason to hop to Chrome(ium) even before I knew/cared about datamining or enshittification or any of that stuff. Back then it just looked like "another browser, that does things a bit different but has no features that entice me that Firefox lacks". Then as I learned about the political side of things I was like "Huh, guess I'm glad for myself then!"

You are most likely correct from a technical point of view.

But don't ever underestimate the potential of weird folks to be -- Weird.

Not that I think it's per se a bad thing -- But I feel like a lot of Linux people are pack bonded to the utilities and tools they have grown used to. Whatever justification they write comes after the fact from an emotional reaction to seeing the thing they are bonded with lose ground.

I would like to note that my shitehole of a third world home country has public healthcare.

It's not excellent, far from it, it's in fact very flawed: It's underfunded, depending on the area you'll be "queuing up" for your consultation for so long that you'll either recover on your own or drop dead, and sometimes doctors have to push ghetto treatments because the real thing is too expensive, so if you have the option, you'd rather not.

.... But it exists, it genuinely saves lives, and also -- In existing it also drives down the price of private healthcare, meaning that middle-class folks (like me!) can afford it without being sent over the poverty line.

Crazy how that works. We've been Murica's bitch for two centuries now, but life here still seems ~~miles~~ kilometers better than over there.
