Would make european companies probably loose IP in the US. IP would just be local and not mean much anymore. I think there’s other better responses

Ja natürlich aber trotzdem währen die Reaktionen zu dem Meme höchstwahrscheinlich deutlich anders ausgefallen.

This is about localization, not about renaming the thing

To be clear, I consider myself a socialist and don’t blindly accept anti-Chinese propaganda. I even think the official government statement on Tiananmen is the closest to being to being accurate

Oh boy, here they go!

I think it most probably is

I feel like I’m kinda somewhere in between tech conservative and paranoid. I am privacy conscious but I don’t engage in privacy related content too often. I use Arch, Manjaro, /e/OS on a fairphone with mostly foss apps and decline most cookies I can. I also like self hosted things just because the corporate SaaS stuff sucks over time with artificial restrictions and has no privacy

Holy moly!

“class traitor”. Go away with that bs, they did their country a service by protecting the integrity of the US democracy against a violent mob. I get being upset how the police handles many issues but they are still needed. I doubt we’d be better off without them completely and no one is reporting on cops that follow their job honorably. They are here to protect the people. Yes, the system needs to be improved and the cops need to be trained properly and transparency has to be increased. Its just I still think the executive needs someone to enforce laws. Judiciary and legislature are nothing without that aspect so stop being so condescending to those who defended democratically elected representatives back then against the mob.

I can see your issue with the police union endorsing trump but still. “class traitor”, really?

When I check the subreddits from my country its mostly left content. I really don’t have that feeling although I think its not as politically onesided as it is here

I can confirm since I was the samurai!

I think its funny how they keep bringing up democrats and say they are the far left end of the horseshoe. In my country dems would be considered center-right. I do not think they are like radical at all so I think thats why the comic is oversimplified.

He (the warlord) would still be murdered. Just with a justification - So it is really only a word game

Self defense only applies when you literally defend yourself from an attack in that moment. If you get away from a warlord with your life and kill him a day later thats again murder.

So you’d argue a civil servant that follows and order from trump that is legal but creates problems in one way or another for the American people are a collaborator? I don’t think we can speak of the word collaborator since up to now he has gained power completely legally and as long as you don’t help him carry out unconstitutional acts I don’t think this includes them.

You might think I’m being the self-righteous one. I actually think its the other way around. In a country with democracy and rule of law giving up on the belief that murder is wrong as a matter of principle just because it fits your narrative. What would you say when a person you ideologically support gets murdered as they caused violent protests that align with your ideology. Would you be opposed to that.

What am I even getting at. Murder and chaos like this has no place in society. At least not in one where the people can make sovereign choices.

One assumption I made is that there will be a continuous demand for self build PCs which will be an entry point for a lot where you can run your own operating system and own choice of hardware. My next assumption is that custom ROMs are gonna stick around or at least Linux phones will become usable in the future since tech savvy privacy people are interested in this. Then I hope the EU will continue to step up and the administration after Trump will support certain right to repair legislation. It doesn’t need a giant group of people for a viable alternative to exist and I think there can be compromises between going stallman or giving up on ownership. Media servers and NAS for example are also really loved in a specific subset of people and I do not think people are willing to give up what they have. I get why you think the way you do and maybe I am too optimistic… I just think I’m not

Didn’t they vote on it? If you were member of the democrats couldn’t you have voted for him in primaries? I honestly think many people in the US just aren’t progressive enough even if they’d benefit from it

You don’t get the be the biggest ensurer that offers the most affordable plans by just focusing on your clients experience as its really the companies who decide for their employees mainly. I do think a company who doesn’t engage in this shitty behavior has it harder in this market thats clearly not regulated properly

Wait sorry about the last sentence. I phrased this completely different than what I wanted to say. Thats on me. I do NOT want the discussion to simmer down. I don’t want this death to have been for nothing and I do want change.

Still he became CEO 2022 and many of those denial policies have been enacted internally before that. Hitler was the dictator and above the law. He made the law and was the only instance of power. If Brian Thompsons primary objective was to kill then I’d support it. But I don’t think it was. I think this system is at fault for it all the the politicians need to change it likes stated. But I don’t think we’ll reach a conclusion here honestly. You think self-justice is justified. I think its not. Thats the point I’ll stick with.
