Dems and Repubs are so entrenched as the 2 primary parties that it would take a miracle to get enough voters to follow a 3rd party
They’re not “entrenched;” they’re ideally situated for the American electorate. There is not a single issue where a third party could take a position that captures larger vote share than those already taken.
The entire population except for fringe groups of terminally online leftists: Yes.
> Democrats: Run most leftist administration in the history of the country
> Democrats: Pass law after law and EO after EO that are a wishlist of progressive and leftist policies
> Democrats: Put officers from the most famous leftist movement in a century in high and visible positions of power in the government
> Leftists online: We never get anything by voting for Democrats they have betrayed us and move to the right constantly
TBH, it’s long past time for the Democratic Party to actually start ignoring the fringe left and work for the American people.
I wonder how much Trump is going to sell the Seventh Fleet for. I’m sure it will be the best deal ever, right?
This meme speaks to a level of civic education from which we can draw a direct line to electing authoritarians like Trump.
Corporate support of development, and I’m not just talking about Redhat and SUSE. Hell, Microsoft is a major contributor to the kernel.
It’s not true for either one. Both Apple and Android OEMs pledge support for years not versions.

Holy. Shit.
Money was cheap, so most tech firms overhired throughout the 2010s and into the first few years of this decade. Now that rates are higher we are seeing a market correction to the actual required workforce for the industry. I feel bad for the millions of tech workers trained and produced by programs for the last 15-20 years who will need to retrain in a new industry.
A small amount of Apple’s annual revenue comes from shipping iPhones with Google as the default search engine on Safari, nothing more.
If you are going to claim that Apple is just as bad on privacy as the world’s largest advertising platform you’d better have some receipts.
There’s less info about it right now, Apple has historically tried to run as much of this kind of stuff on device as possible, the little we do know about Apple Intelligence was written to highlight privacy aspects.
Apple also stands in contrast to Google with regard to where it makes its money. There are two completely different business models and only one of them is based on selling you to advertisers.
If you don’t understand how easily this happens, you don’t understand how licenses work or the interplay involved in licensing packages, frameworks, and miscellaneous dependencies.
Because most people need a cloud solution for synchronization across devices. Unless you’re spinning up your own service like Nextcloud or similar for this, relying on a commercial cloud storage service for storing the file is just as dangerous (perhaps more so, as your attack surface is now across two third party services) as relying on someone like Bitwarden or Lastpass.
I forgot that asking for evidence of something is the worst thing you can possibly do on the internet.
It is when you’re asking about something that’s common knowledge.
In the balance between geopolitical conflicts and Linux, the latter is the petty stuff.
Take a long look, this is what leftist victories look like
