26·23 hours agoCorporations can go out of business, have an incentive to enshittify, etc. Communities/non-profit foundations generally don’t.
The only way a community project can cease to be “stable” (in the “not going away” sense you’re using it) is if literally nobody competent cares enough to maintain it anymore, and if that’s the case, was anything of value really lost?
You’ve got that backwards. Community distros are more likely to be stable than corporate ones.

Reminds me of one of my favorite videos.
background
MARTA - Atlanta’s transit system, created in the 1960s. It was originally supposed to go to the 5 innermost counties of metro Atlanta (Fulton, Dekalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, and Clayton), but the 1965 ‘authorization to participate in the system’ referendum failed in Cobb. Long story short, MARTA ended up only in Fulton and Dekalb until 2014, when Clayton joined. It’s still not in Cobb or Gwinnett.
Cobb County - a county in the northwestern suburbs of Atlanta, known for being relatively white, wealthy, and racist (especially on its northeastern side).
In the decades since MARTA was founded, there have been repeated attempts to get Cobb to join, but it always fails and one of the biggest arguments the opposition uses is that it would bring “crime” (which around here, is well-understood to be a dog-whistle for “black people” in that context).
Hence the scare quotes.
No it did not! Germany was conquered by external forces and had their Nazis exterminated (not all of them, but “enough”) for them. It did not recover on its own.
In contrast, nobody’s coming to save us.
I always knew enlightenment was riding a bicycle!
It’s time for them to be kicked put of their leadership positions. Not just primaried in the next election; sidelined in this session of Congress, right now.

How can it be miscalculated when it wasn’t even calculated at all to begin with?
They’ve already been purged, dude.
15·3 days agoBasically, taking any steps to defend yourself in general:
- being armed
- wearing a mask to obscure your face
- wearing nondescript clothing
- wearing PPE to defend against pepper balls etc.
- having GrapheneOS on your phone
- using an encrypted messaging app
- etc.
You need to evolve wheat from primordial soup.
It’s a summary of what? Which bill is it talking about? Why doesn’t it make even the bare minimum of effort to help readers look it up?
If their goal is to inform, they should fucking inform! Link to the goddamn bill!
31·3 days agoI’m not a fan of Neelix, but I don’t think what was wrong with him was necessarily Ethan Phillips’ fault.
Frankly, I think the very first time any government started to demand a “permit” or designate a “free speech zone,” it should’ve triggered massive protests that were pointedly unpermitted and outside the zone.
Your job should not exist, as a matter of principle.
If George had written Anakin like that, and if he had followed through with Darth Jar Jar, it would’ve been absolutely brilliant.
It seems increasingly to me that the screeching about them is projection by the ones perpetrating them. For example, there is a conspiracy to create a “New World Order,” and it’s shit like this and this.
