They pointed out that we on the left may have disagreed with McCain or Bush, but we never once feared that they would seize power or leave NATO.

They were saying all of the same things about W. Bush in 2004.

We trusted them to at least keep the ship afloat and respect the basic tenants of our free and democratic nation.

Not at all. The left viewed W. Bush as a wannabe dictator, not much different from how Trump is viewed now.

One graffito, two graffiti.

Does it actually help with pickpockets though?

I’ve never had it stolen, so…perhaps?

I feel like if anything, it advertises its location

Where else would it be? Don’t right-handed people store it in their right front pocket? And since most people are right-handed…you’re going to be correct most the time.

with a good strong yank the fabric loop is attached to would just rip out.

That would be a helluva strong yank, though, and it would certainly be much more difficult than just lifting the wallet out. Nothing is going to be 100% secure. It’s about making the theft as difficult as possible.

Some of this fight has to be legislative. We need to repeal Taft-Hartley.

I don’t understand why anybody wouldn’t use a chain wallet. You don’t have to worry about your wallet falling out or getting pickpocketed.

I think Connect is closed-source. I haven’t been able to find much info on it, though, which is weird.

You’re surprised that open source folks are using an open-source, decentralized network?

I loved Infinity for reddit, too, but I’m kind of squeamish about installing pre-release code on my phone. I’ll wait until it’s out of beta.

Yes. And no.

FOSS isn’t about “corpo hate”. It’s about freedom. There’s a philosophy behind it. You can, of course, disagree with it, but I think you should know what you’re disagreeing with.

If the users don’t control the program, the program controls the users. With proprietary software, there is always some entity, the developer or “owner” of the program, that controls the program—and through it, exercises power over its users. A nonfree program is a yoke, an instrument of unjust power.

This isn’t showing up in F-Droid or the Play store. Has it not been released yet?

What a horrible night to have a curse.

One pixel every 5 minutes? That sounds extremely tedious.

Internet memes don’t have a format. What’s the format of “All your base are belong to us”? Or Longcat? Or that crazy frog dance?

No idea, and I don’t care. What matters for me is that there are enough people on Lemmy to keep it interesting.

Could you give an example?

You can pop out menus with CSS.

That doesn’t mean his strstegy and approach is good.

Who cares? Whether or not Stallman is a likeable person isn’t what’s important. His ideas are.

If you’re an anarchist, why are you advising communists to rebrand? Why do you care about communism at all?

For that matter, couldn’t the same criticism be leveled at the word “anarchism”? Most people associate that word with chaos and violence.

When you’re so desperate to get out of a place that you’re willing to kill people to do it.
