Embrace the penguin. Finally say goodbye to updates that make your computer worse.
Yeah it's great we have that alternative, but it's sad AF it's pushed down our throats while no one is asking for it. Whether we have an alternative or not, it's just fucking disgusting something that was great and built for the users now changed to fuck the users for corporate gain. This goes for games, movies and series, cars, all sorts of machines like fridges and washing machines, software, almost the entire internet, basically most things you own, or used to own but now are cloud based and now prescription based. It's a total dystopia where corporations take control exponentially and start to push people into slavery. Nice to have Linux but how long until Google forces DRM's on websites so you're only able to use chrome to open sites on their servers. And what about PC hardware that's starting to implement AI into it. And that's just an example. How many options we have for browsing, I mean, we have Firefox right? But they are turning more evil too now. The evil corps are closing the gaps on independancy, privacy, diversity and ownership.
If you want it to stop being pushed down your throat, you've got to stop sucking corpo dick.
How though? Even our public transportation is a big corpo stealing our data, raising prices and adding shitty features no one asks for. Same with cars and e-bikes. "Then get a older car" you say, but they aren't allowed in my city anymore due to pollution. So I should just always walk? Same shit with my social housing corp, energy supplier, internet provider, phone provider. And even the grocery stores, they are all gettinf fucked up out of corporate greed. So should I go live out on the streets then, close my bank account, live on food out of trash cans? Yeah, that's going to be awesome, no more sucking corporate dick. Hoping the salvation army won't turn evil too.
Or do you think that by installing Linux on your PC means you're free of sucking any corporate dick? I'm a Linux fan but I'm not ignorant.
I have bad news. The Salvation Army has a history of anti LGBTQ activism and discrimination globally.
Well there ya go.
Yeah, it's a Christian institute with strict Christian values. There's one in the street behind my house. But at least they are helping the homeless. Although not equally. But it's more than most do.
Well thankfully there are usually many locally owned, secular thrift stores. Goodwill and Salvation Army both suck but the small ones don't have that baggage.
They've been known to let trans people freeze to death on the steps of their shelters. The Starvation Army is beyond fucked, and has been for a looong time.
Wow I didn't know that. Ok fuck them.
We just don't have enough penguins...
