I use it because 22 years ago it was more appealing than redhat or Mandrake. It forced me to learn more about Linux because I had to resolve almost everything myself than any other distro. I was using before it had a package manager and honestly after the dependency hell of rpms in 2000s it just seemed more problematic to use one that resolved dependencies than not. Usually I used to and sometimes still use it for a nice base to compile everything on. I dunno. It’s my Linux equivalent to my first car that I loved.

Acting like there’s only one true community and anyone else would have malicious intent. Jesus Christ man.

The old Facebook app was the first one to convince my phone listens in on my conversations. I haven’t touched anything Facebook since 2013.

Arguably the location data has several purposes, and needs to be collected but shouldn’t have been available for sale. It’s bad enough you can’t keep law enforcement out of it but even worse when random businesses get the information.

That said, in this day and age, it should be a no brainier that your phone is a tracking device for multiple organizations and we should all keep that in mind

Right? The implication here is pretty fuckin’ terrible

Genius and insanity are close bedfellows.

That’s a unix wizard beard level Dad joke

Isn’t that kind of the point? You don’t get very far hiding in a social setting. You’re on a public website talking to other people. Your posts should be public, comments, etc. At least people should treat all websites or apps they didn’t develop personally like they’re public. I mean you don’t really have a right to privacy in public.

And I’m not trying to say this with some malicious tone or anything but it’s just my view on it.

The internet is almost unrecognizable from what it was 20 years ago.
