Truly; it's shocking how much people are still clinging to permissive licensing in the middle of everything going on.

O. K. but did anyone take care-of/in the kitten, after?

Also Bluesky isn't an alternative to big tech, it IS big tech. I wish it wasn't stealing so much of our publicity lately.

This; I'm so sick of hearing it pop up when people mention alternatives.

I was trying to see if someone else was going to mention F. D.

Shame for yours to be at the bottom; this is a good list of choices, in general. Excellent taste.

It shouldn't be discounted, either, that they're willfully abusing perception.

It's like when they argue that voter suppression or them winning without a majority of the vote is actually what was intended because that's why we're a Republic and not a direct democracy.

Like, I don't doubt that there were founders who would be sympathetic of depriving certain groups the vote (after all, they hadn't given them the vote in the first place for that very reason) but "tyranny of the majority" very much wasn't meant to mean outright suppression like through a carceral system.

It meant boosting minority opinions so you'd have to actually address and debate with them rather than rushing past.

But they know most people won't have familiarity with the concept so they argue that their suppression of representation is actually a good thing, though I cannot believe anyone who's passingly familiar with these concepts could say that and truly mean it.

Ran out of spinach, again, this week so tagged kale in (in case you wanted to see it in action):

See, the issue is you're assuming it was a staircase that's the cause and not, say, oesteoporosis.

Honestly, you said literally everything that immediately popped into my head when I saw this (though even more thoroughly and precisely).

Not the 6T but I owned the 6 for years until AT&T decided to forcibly disable any of their SIM cards in one when they sunsetted their 3G network (still very pissed about this…).

I know the spec.s were similar, while being improved on the 6T, so not 1-to-1 but I can say the 6 was a really solid device.

When I ran Mobian on it, the extra spec.s (over, say, the PinePhone) really made things pretty nice; I'd expect you'd have a nice time with it and I think it's a solid device.
