I’ll take this as another chit adding corroboration of having chosen well to avoid it. Annoying as is from the outside, wasn’t about to turn-coat and join them. Glad to have explorers like you to report back.

Some distros do blur the line even for those who can distinguish the two.

Like asking a fish how’s the water, and they respond “what’s water?”.

And of course, they’ll know about GNU Hurd, Ironclad, Plan9, Haiku, Solaris, IRIX, Kolibrios, TempleOS, SerenityOS, FreeDOS and Android. But will they have heard of Ginux or Pluto?

First they came for the 6s…

because Lemmy creates those guys

I confess, I’m perhaps complicit in that.

… And there are a lot more of those random guys around now.

no one got the joke/reference?

I know for a fact that if I was a parent I wouldn’t want my kids near that crap.

Yeah, it’d be some kind of non-mamalian (let alone inhuman) approach, to let your offspring freely frolic in dire dangers, and not actively protect and educate them. Roads. Crocodile infested rivers. Corporate “Social Media”.

That’s always a fun 3 fingers to double check on. May reveal some insidious “not even wrong” fallacy that’s not easy to see when too close to it, immersed in it.

Two chopsticks!

I websearched that, wondering if that some memetic idiomatic expression…

o_O the websearch I used returned only 1 result: https://www.tiktok.com/discover/one-chopstick-or-two-chopsticks … what’s happening to this world?

a yes or no has no information about the user

Sounds too good to be true. … But, if it’s as you say… sure, lets use it to let pedos know where to target. Oh, sorry, I mean, use it to “protect children”.

Even after explaining what I would have done to them,

with that data, if I had the data, when I worked in advertising… [or even just explaining their basic human dignity of privacy]… the rhetoric remains strong enough to not have the cognitive dissonance be itchy enough to stop fallaciously repeating their mantra “nothing to hide”,

… and so that’s why they’re fine with this dystopian nightmare, this single point of failure, this hijacking of humanity by totalitarian government (or at least just megalomaniacal parasites wanting total dominating control, even in banal mundane petty ways, like just doing their job, serving their client as best they can, maximally manipulating mentalities to maximise wealth extraction)?

It does not make sense.

As for who’s on social media… yeah, maybe lets not have a corporate attention snare that learned from the billions invested in Las Vegas casinos for their ability to snare and direct peoples attention, keeping them going back in for more, keeping them addicted, maximally extracting wealth from them. “Social media”, such an Orwellian marketing spin term. … The ambiguity and resulting conflations help camouflage what the crooks are up to. Not all “social media” are alike. As surely we here on the fediverse know.

Children should not be on “social media”? Depends what one means… but typically I’d say children are due the same rights, and are not to be under classed. Y’know? Wanna take away children’s access to parts of the world? The parts that can be used for good too? … I just picture what that different world’s like, where Aaron Swartz gets denied access to something even younger… where that precedent goes, how much worse the dystopia can be, compared to what it already is. … Or… as you allude to… How much more fervently pursued, freedom is, by the young, the tighter they squeeze.

So Orwellian.

Heh. Seems from https://github.com/sinelaw/fresh/releases?page=11#release-v0.1.1 fresh is even newer than fin (by a couple months). … Except their devs didn’t burn out after a month. :D

Didn’t know about it. As with dozens more also not fit into the image.

Some are.

Why are plants purple?

So you’re the one.
