I bet you're closer in opinion than you think. I think most Dems would settle for universal background checks and no super weapons type rules. The same basic rules we have for other dangerous stuff. You need to buy insurance and you're responsible if someone uses your gun in a crime. Stuff to encourage careful ownership.

I fucking hate the cold but I'm also lazy and hate wearing clothes. If it's just a bit I'll take the hit just to avoid putting (more) stuff on.

I think people's issue is that you (the west) is funding one side of it.

I'm pretty isolationist too though. Pull the funding to both sides. Let them figure it out themselves (Israel will probably not exist in the end of this scenario).

Netanyahu and his cohorts have explicitly said they believe they need to kill every last Palestinian. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2023/11/benjamin-netanyahu-amalek-israel-palestine-gaza-saul-samuel-old-testament/

Do Linux settings translate to osx... At all? I'm struggling to think of any I use across both. Maybe bash.rc?

Osx config is mostly running arcane commands to set registry settings.

I'll never understand people who struggle with windows and like osx. They seem basically identical to me at this point.

I mean, you could just use Firefox or safari, or anything not chromium really. Yeah Moz will take money from search revenue, but they've proven over and over google doesn't tell them what to do.

Heck, chrome exists because google tried to firce Moz to ship a shitty bookmarks implementation, and Mozilla said no years ago. It's literally just an example of a "I'm going to take my ball and go home" tantrum.

I think they probably learned this number from the iOS tracking opt in. It's not as large as people like to think. People don't like being tracked, but they'll trade it for free stuff pretty easily.

Is there some reason you can't start up a decentralized content hosting platform. Just let anyone with a spare hd and a spare pc at home join up?

Like I guess I don't really want anything illegal on my PC.... Maybe this plan is awful.

I'm always a bit shocked the worlds governments don't start offering free email/hosting to their citizens. It'd give them a cheap way to surveil that was "opt-in" (but would probably catch a lot of dumb people) and everyone would have a "verified" email for official stuff too. It seems like a good investment to me.

They won't. They'll just sell their private data.

As someone who tried to make a living caring about people's privacy, people don't care. The only time they pretend to is when they need to explain why they buy the new iphone pro model yearly (but they'd turn on a dime if apple said "we're building an ad platform! Look how pretty our ads are!")

This is basically what all those reddit clients did on phones, now coming for us to enjoy on desktop.
