So racist haha. Very on-brand for France honestly.

Sympathy? They voted for this, twice.

Well their goal is to have the most uneducated populace in the US so this is pretty on brand

the anti-LGBTQ agenda was pretty overt, what did they think they were getting? do they know who DeSantis is? I'm convinced these people either don't exist or are some of the dumbest people on the planet.

White Men commit mass shootings at 1000x the rate of trans people so

Conservatives want to eradicate anyone that isn't Straight, White, and Christian, so why would I ever move to a red state if I'm not in that group?

[-] DiachronicShear@beehaw.org 23 points 1 year ago

Sad, but expected. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did. Just another casualty in Conservatives' war on equality.

My favorite part of the audio is when he calls for someone to bring them all some cokes. I forgot that he drinks like a dozen a day and it was very weird hearing him call for soda while he commits a felony.

i'm sorry but the cables on the OUTSIDE of the sub? hell even just LOOKING at the damn thing. And once I saw the controller I'd be out so quick.

Sync was widely regarded as the best third-party app for Android. I preferred a different one, but I don't think it's shutting down for another 10 days, so you can always open it up and try it

Now that’s the word of God. It’s eternal, unchanging

Hasn't the Bible been translated from Greek and Hebrew multiple times?

I haven't owned any Apple products since the ipod nano in 2005, and have only used Linux, specifically Ubuntu), since 2008 (then my sophomore year in college) for exactly the reasons your colleague spells out. I try to use open-source software whenever possible. Apple is the most closed-source vendor available to me, so I have no intention of ever using their products. When I was a teenager / early 20s I would espouse the evils of Apple to anyone who was nearby, whether they wanted to listen or not. Now, I cringe at the memory of that behavior and let people live their lives.

I do see why your colleague connected the dots between your two separate arguments, and I do see where they're coming from. The idea of Freedom of Scientific Information and FOSS do have many parallels, but I don't think you need to beat yourself up over using Apple vs more open-sourced software. I don't really think there's anything particularly wrong with Apple devices, and when my current laptop starts to go I might even consider one of their offerings. But my needs are simple enough that Ubuntu has always worked for me. As far as phones, I just like Android better (and more of it is open-sourced).
