Regulatory capture seems about on par for Google these days. I suppose I’ll be switching back to OnePlus for Android devices; that’ll be about it for Google stuff in my home.
Just another person seeking connection, community, and diversity of thought in an increasingly polarized and team-based society.

I see we can mark off “double down on wartime economy boost” on the recession check list.
Username checks out.
I wish you the best of luck with that. Poor taxes were the strategy behind the NFA - its incredible unpopularity guarantees it won’t make it through either branch of Congress let alone both.
You are aware that was a generalized observation, right?
I suspect you’re just not liking being in this comment.
You’ve managed to avoid the knee-jerk “useful idiot” etc vitriol? I’m impressed and envious.
The lack of Google/Microsoft enshittification is a huge draw.
How does that in any way explain the bizarre, near-vitriol reactions of blue team participants to criticisms and jokes about Biden?
A relative excess of funny would just explain more jokes, and poorly.
“safety”
The various @politics communities are currently chock full of a weird deflection of all jokes and criticisms of Biden and a focus on jokes and criticisms about Trump. It’s pretty hard to see how the blue team part to this pans out at all.
Why can’t my queer ass think guns are awesome like c’mon
This exact combination has begun to break brains over here in such a manner as to be exactly like the old r/Politics that made r/liberalgunowners so lovely.
It always amazes me the extent to which people with such absurd reductionist hyperbole seem intentionally unaware of the extent to which there’s an exact mirror of oversimplification on the other side.
The Politics@ communities seem to be doing their best to bring that back to the right, but yes, outside of that it’s leftist to a lovely degree.
However, the open-source developer GloriousEggroll mentions that the developer subscription to RHEL is free. So, access to RHEL source code is still possible but inconvenient?
Just want to to note here the Developer subscription is completely free and still allows access to RHEL and its source code if you want exact package sources. CentOS stream basically serves as a RHEL upstream so I understand this change. It may seem confusing for some people.

In the survey conducted last month, just 41% of Republicans said that gay or lesbian relations are morally acceptable, a 15% drop from 2022.
So, 59% ambivalent or against.
Given 73% of red team adherents strongly believe in God therefore have strong religious adherence, we’re still trending better than expected.
Of these, given the outsize skew toward red team from Evangelical Protestant and Mormon groups, it should be unsurprising a party with a strong representation of outspoken religious bigots is skewing toward bigotry. Disappointing, sure, but unsurprising.
Independents who say same-sex relations are morally acceptable has remained steady in recent years, with 73% expressing approval in 2023 compared to 72% the year before, according to Gallup.
Independents showing a detachment from a given team’s trend change is always good to see.
Overall, 64% of Americans still say that gay or lesbian relations are “morally acceptable,” including 79% of Democrats and 73% of self-described independents, according to the Gallup poll.
Americans have come a long way since 2001, when just 40% of respondents to the same poll expressed approval of same-sex relations.
And we’re still trending far improved from where we were in the early days of the acceptance movement.
Isn’t paying to remove ads a fair deal?
If the price were reasonable, community practices especially regarding monetization and moderation were acceptable, telemetry-tracking javascript minimal, etc. then sure.
But… we’re not there.
No. PiHole is effectively ad-blocking via DNS; the name is a play on black hole and Raspberry Pi.
Well, this certainly explains my difficulty with YouTube over the last few days. Ironically, the piped instances still seem to be fine…
This might just be enough to push me primarily over to Rumble. There are fewer and fewer reasons to use YouTube and more and more reasons not to.
You can summarize by thinking of vertical scaling as “make machine bigger / more powerful” with horizontal scaling as “make more machines”.
Suddenly, I miss the old days of Android. I suppose it’s back to CyanogenMod or whatever it is these days
