@FlohEinstein “Proton must be politically neutral” my ass
The days of neolibs on all sides and who you vote for being slight preference are long gone. The camps now are fascists and everyone else, so either you oppose the fascists or you’re complicit, there’s no in-between.

well, LXQt is getting yeeted off my system because it did some stupid shit I really didn’t like like using gvfs, now I’m rolling with plain labwc
now I just need to find some panel to use since I was kinda using LXQt’s panel before, and, while swaybar would be most of what I need, it refuses to run without Sway since it apparently relies on some sway-specific IPC stuff

@asie I keep hearing people say proprietary platforms are somehow better than the open platforms, but are they, really? Take operating systems, Windows is an absolute clusterfuck that absolutely everyone has been dogging on for the past decade, from updates that delete your data, to forced updates rebooting your machine when you didn’t want it, to reboot to Windows 11 sending perfectly good computers into landfills, to the AI junk introduced in the past year, to the more technical aspects like how utterly awful the underlying architecture is, causing several proglangs to just emulate a UNIX-like environment on top of Windows to make things bearable for developers.
I’m not saying open platforms like Linux or BSDs are perfect, anyone who knows me knows I’ve been critical of Linux in particular in the past, but at this point they are objectively speaking better than the main proprietary option. So why do people stick with Windows? It’s the lock-in I brought up in the first post. Maybe quality was a factor in favour of corporate proprietary software several years back, but it absolutely isn’t now.

I keep seeing this enlihhtened centrism take of "FOSS is too much about purity!!!" which first, you're throwing together two funndamentally different ideologies there, Free Software and Open Source Software are analogous to communism and neoliberalism, but second, and in theme with the politics theme, it's really just tue tollerance paradox which we've seen play out in software a bajillion times.
People use open standards and free/open/public domain software, then a corrpo joins in with their proprietary thing acting all innocent and in love of the open standard, they start getting influence and become one of the biggest entities in the spave, then boom they stop supporting the open standard, getting a lot of people to join their proprietary thing until they eventually either make it so shit nobody uses it anymore, or outright axe it for the lolz. Sound familiar? It's what did with XMPP and Hangouts, as well as what Threads is trying to do on Fedi. Take away the initian open standard compatibility, and you have the story of Skype, Discord, Facebook, and so so many others. Proprietary software is fundamentally not designed to respect your freedom, it's just a product putting you at the whims of the developer. And the solution when the debepoper runs it into the ground? You can just switch to something else! Or can, you, really? If it's a local music player, sire, but if you're using a dogshit proprietary chat thing like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Discord etc. getting everyone to move is a lot of work, especially all moving to the same thing, because even if your friends are all willing to put in the effort to get away from hell, their friends might be too tired of the constant switching already. If the proprietary thing is your OS, then you'll have to make sure all the other softwate you're using is compatible with whatever you're switching to. Once you're caught in the spider web of a corporate proprietary anything, it's hell to get out, so how about not getting caught in the first place? THIS is why so maany peopls refuse to use corporate and proprietary anything, this isn't new, people have been burned befote by this shit.

With CCR’s decision to invalidate the entire presidential election, we’re honestly left with a lot more questions than answers
We know there was Russian interference in the presidential election, so what’s the likelihood of the parliamentary election being free of Russian meddling?
Why were the documents from the various Romanian intelligence services not sent to the CCR earlier and/or declassified and published earlier?
What about the legal precedent that was set? It used to be that once a round of elections was validated by the CCR, it was set in stone, but now they validated it, and later invalidated it after the declassified documents were released. Depending on how things go from here, this could be a very dangerous precedent to set.
