I can’t imagine a more unpopular idea in all of politics.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you ever come up with genius ("genius") ideas for joke domains to unsettle/embarrass people when you tell them your email?
13·2 years agoNot a domain, but I did register a yahoo email address of roopappyatgmaildotcom@yahoo.com just to confuse people who asked for my email address.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize?
121·2 years agoPeople need to be willing to suffer small conveniences to send a message to companies, but they aren’t. And then they complain that the government should step in, while they constantly elect people who protect business interests and are anti-consumer in the name of “small government.”
It’s requires at least one or the other… a free market with consumers who drive the demand, or big government. With neither, you end up with constant corporate abuses.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux Audio Nerds, Take Notice — The Fedora Audio Creation SIG is being revived
5·2 years agoIf you’re choosing to do audio production in Linux, the odds are that “easy” wasn’t your top decision criteria. lol
Personally, I recently hooked up my Berhinger USB audio interface to Mint, and Ardour and Audacity saw it immediately. I was impressed. I was ready to google around for how to use lusb and dmseg and shit because I never remember what I’m doing.
Ganymede was a prince. He never boned Jupiter (or Zeus) as far as I know.

Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Chrome & Firefox are a false duopoly. Do we need another option? Should there be a public option? Should it come from Italy?
5·2 years agoI remember purchasing Opera mobile. I can’t remember if it was for Windows Mobile 5/6 or if it was the super early Android. It was the only browser that really worked on that phone, whatever it was. Well worth the $5 or whatever.

Android@lemdro.id•Google’s “Web Integrity” Android API could kill “alternative” media clients
4·2 years agoI love the idea, and would be willing to be an early adopter of a linux phone… but its tough to give up application support.

Android@lemdro.id•Google’s “Web Integrity” Android API could kill “alternative” media clients
16·2 years agoBecause Apple are: closed system, unrepairable, proprietary, refuse to adopt standards, elitist and exclusionary, and generally less flexible and customizable. They are a baby toy, they are any recent BMW, and they are jerks about it.
And somehow, that’s becoming the better option over thieves and scammers with bad intentions. I may have to go with the assholes over the bastards. It doesn’t feel great.

Android@lemdro.id•Google’s “Web Integrity” Android API could kill “alternative” media clients
35·2 years agoBig fucking sigh. I’ve been an Android user since the T-mobile G1, and I have ferociously defended the platform against iPhone for that entire time.
Is there a 3rd option? Or do I have to learn to love the enemy? I won’t be a part of the problem with privacy just because I’m too lazy to change.
