Finally, Mozilla is finally doing something innovative for once. Stalwart is freaking awesome.

I had assumed that he didn’t want to use an app because of privacy concerns, not that he didn’t have a way to install the app. We’ve allowed this behavior to become normalized already though. It is significantly harder now days to find consumer products like routers that don’t require an app to manage & use. It’s not like either side of the political aisle has been seriously pushing for regulation regarding privacy, when they absolutely love being able to get all that data directly from these conglomerates without a court order.

Both actually… most smart meters are now smart enough to identify specific appliances, some have raised concerns & published papers showing that they may even be able to determine what TV channel an individual is watching. Power companies of course are also implementing machine learning to gather even more detailed information & behavioral patterns, including identifying patterns & usage of each household member:

You still are & just don’t know it. The power company can tell when & what devices you’re using. You’d need a way to store enough power so your appliances never connect directly to the grid, basically a power firewall.

Violence against nazis is good.

Even wearing a swastika or flying a Nazi flag doesn’t mean you’re a murderer or that you intend to murder people. Many modern Nazis don’t believe that 6 million Jews were murdered and that those were facts made up by powerful Jews, so to claim they intend to murder more people because of it is ridiculous when they don’t believe the murder happened. In fact, what I’ve seen recently online is a prevalence of people like yourself (that I’m hopeful are mostly bot accounts) advocating for murdering & being violent against those who appear to be wearing Nazi symbolism or using some Nazi hand gesture, but who are being non-violent.

Everyone, even you, has the potential to become violent. That doesn’t mean people should attack you because you have potential to become violent. That is not how free speech works and is fascist behavior.

This conversation tells me he hasn’t done enough to tell the nazis and their defenders in his audience to fuck off, and without action his apology is worth fuckall.

He literally apologized and took a multi-year break. His content was mostly just video games and at times a little edgy. Regardless, at what point do you decide you can get more accomplished by volunteering and showing people love through kindness. Here you are talking about how violence is good. Should I follow you around the Internet forever now reminding everyone how you think being violent is a good thing, even after you say you are sorry for it and don’t want to hurt people?

No fascism is when you’re against free speech & constantly advocating violence against non-violent people who have exercised free speech, and then when someone does apologize for speech you didn’t like then 5 years later you’re still trying to censor those people.

How many years ago was that. It sounds like he apologized and has taken a long break from YouTube and yet here come a bunch of actual screeching fascist saying, “Gross that he uses Linux! Arch is now NaziOS & we want to see him publicly executed still!”

It says it is using Hyprland which is a Wayland-bases tiling window manager with pretty good defaults.
