  • You think spare parts don’t cost money? Wearhouse space is expensive. Massive part stores have to be made. That’s all expense needed to take on by auto manufacturers. Why would software be different?

    Either that or they keep all the tooling, which again is expensive. And people need to know how to use the tooling too.

    This isn’t a “it’d be nice” kind of patch. This is exactly how we get massive bot nets for DDOS attacks. Devices become vulnerable, scans go out on the internet looking for devices they can exploit, and when they do, they gather bot nets.

    It’s also not creating something new. It’s fixing your shit. They don’t have to create the entire software stack from scratch, just fix the exploit. If they can’t reasonably do that, then these devices need to be taken offline.



  • We build real community. That’s the answer to all of it.

    If we all feel we own the park, we’ll start taking care of it more. Rather than it being the cities (i.e. someone else’s) problem.

    How do we give land back? We decide as a community to do that.

    Also, land back isn’t about ownership, it’s about stewardship. If we were community focused, we’d understand that, and maybe even participate in it.

    How do we do justice? We let community decide what’s best.

    Fuck these countries. We should be caring and looking out for our neighbours. Not these nation states.

    How do we deal with wealth redistribution? Support community. Spend as local as you can. Give your wealth to community.

    It’s not about heorarchy, it’s about being mutually invested in eachother. Not just “friends”, not just hanging out, but sticking through tough times. Calling out BS. Trying out best to bring our the best in eachother.

    Giving power to people is not the same as democracy. People have a right to be governed however they want to be. If a community wants a king, sure. That’s their right as a people. There’s a difference between intervening on something like a genocide, and imposing democracy on a people that don’t want it.









  • Not the person you replied to, but I do use Linux (arch btw).

    Linux is a free (as in freedom) and open source software that basically powers the internet.

    A vast majority of servers on the internet are running Linux. It’s powerfully but that’s a double edge sword. It’s easy to cut yourself too if your unfamiliar with the edges.

    Because it’s completely open source, there are endless customizations and optimizations you can make. The art is knowing what, how, and where. But that’s true of windows and macos.

    It’s vertically less creepy with AI and logging garbage compared to apple and Microsoft.

    It’s popular with nerds because it’s free and customizable. IMO that can come at a cost of user-friendly experiences. But it’s all about learning the edges. The other two have plenty, most are just used to it.
