You know who actually has real deals with Apple (CIA shell company)? Something something Snowden Assange PRISM FISA gag…
China is not the problem. If you think USA Freedom™ companies are so moral, then why do USA companies not stop business with China and pay back over a trillion dollars worth of debt? Or how about letting Assange free in “western democracy”, or Snowden out of Russia with zero risk of getting JFK’d?
To me it seems more like a custom for US/West tech cos to engage in this spying behaviour, as they themselves also benefit from it (ads -> capitalism -> money + data for AI + helping insurance cos and FICO/VantageScore), besides their 3 letter daddies. The “China!” thing is hogwash, because China is engaging in basically the same or lesser surveillance practices as 5/9/14 Eyes governments for much lesser time.
I made a commentary about it here lemmy.ml/post/511377 in the FLOSS vs Closed Source Philosophy section:
The soul and spirit of FLOSS is socialist/communist, in a similar way to piracy. The purpose of it is to serve the greater good. In comparison, the soul and spirit of closed source software, outside rare cases of benevolence, is highly corporate and fascistic, similar to a leech, which in many cases these days may suck money out of your wallets for subscriptions. It may also serve as a leech to suck your data for telemetry and spying purposes.
Its perfectly okay to have both Linux and Windows, and keep Windows for 5-10% use cases, excluding work/school needs. Always remember Pareto’s principle, and never try to force through things where unnecessary friction hinders you for benefits that are nothing more than ideological masturbation.
Mine is Strawberry since it has a ton of options and plays a ton of formats. It’s also (distant) fork of Amarok 1.4 and integrates well with KDE Plasma. I’m curious what other people are using these days. What’s your favorite player?
Just a reminder that the privacy related subreddits are the equivalent of a graveyard and a dumpsite. They all more or less died when the Reddit exodus happened.
I am using Reddit for very specific niche things, and no longer check the privacy graveyards and powermod hijacked shill boards that they are, so thanks for alerting. Happy to see there are a few vigilantes in my absence.
My Linux/Windows guide has two whole sections and a table dedicated to this, with some websites listed for finding software and alternatives. They are all choices handpicked and refined from personal experience of over 15ish years.
Edit: its possible some may miss rest of the post that is in the form of chained comment. Just scroll and act like comments are one post. I do have it labelled it like Twitter (1/n) format for coherence.
You are not dumb. I think your client app for Lemmy is not showing table properly. In Jerboa and Eternity, I can see table properly, and I think I now understand the mistake that is happening. Lemmy has a word limit for posts, and so, I created rest of the post in the form of chained comment below.
You probably missed the post, and this has been a bit of a bugger compared to Reddit’s 40000 character limit, but it also keeps the storage needs lower for instance hosters.
The other option to “reduce” cars is replan and rebuild entire cities, districts and even countries around the idea of places being nearby enough to be able to walk or cycle. And cars would still be needed.
This is why mobile electric cars are an easier option. It turns out that there has to be some level of autonomy and ownership, rather than thinking purging cars out of existence will suddenly move us towards full communism, or whatever the idea is. Allowing personal ownership means people have ways to rebuild places to live or migrate for themselves.
The bigger problem is not the smaller cars, but the SUVs and mini trucks everyone loves to have, and multiple car ownership. Pareto frontier is the key to everything, cutting down on emissions and too many cars on roads included.
I am older. You want to hear me? Stop giving a shit about them altogether. What I mean by this is love yourself and focus on yourself. Women love psychological manipulation and think they are the hot shit, until they start going “good guy”-less by their 30s and the “beauty” starts to subside. Too much high school teen garbage, and most have not mentally grown out of it.
I will just enlighten you with the Tears Of Rain scene from Blade Runner. It changed my perspective on life. Men do not shine as bright, but men shine for all their lives, and this is all that western feminist man-hating ideology is formulated around to counter.
Oh, and you need no redpill or any pill to understand this. Just avoid the “bluepill” or garbage aimed to diss on men and masculinity. True masculinity (said by certain kind of people to be toxic) is about resilience, emotional control, inner strength, confidence and the ability to withstand life’s hardships without resorting to insecurity (dissing manhood) or abusive behaviours (psychological manipulation). The whole societal game is played in heads and with physical seduction techniques.
You will do better by watching Robert Greene’s relevant podcast talks and Dr. Huberman’s talk on the Science of Love, Desire and Attraction. Some masterclass style long podcasts of Matthew Hussey are also great, since he does cater to women for dating scene.
I love when the argument is to always shittalk, diss or just “redpill” label everything, even though real world tells us social media delusions are meaningless.
I will be honest. I am starting to think leftists aren’t the true opposite of rightwing lunatics, and there is also a lack of reasoning and selective empathy on the polar side. Or maybe its that there are too many leftists I keep encountering that love their trash talking, labelling and cancelling business.
What are “real” women? The feminist movement on social media? Younger generation or the older generations of women? If you think that is dehumanising women, just know how much men have been dehumanised for ever, by a complete disregard for their emotional sanctity, which is as sacred as a woman’s physical sanctity, which we care so much about.
I am tired of hearing how women have been oppressed, and people acting like all men are royal/elite capitalist oppressors, and men have faced nothing, when the reality is that men have built this world and women have built the world within houses.
All I have seen is double standards whenever men’s issues need to be talked about versus women’s issues. Mental health issues, women pedophiles/predators versus men pedophiles/predators, or male SA versus female SA, military recruitments, physical risk jobs like ones at construction sites, women publicly allowed to get away with sexual harassment or roadside flirting, or men being called creeps for being nice to children but women are “inclusive” and never creepy, et al. And any debate is intentionally and dishonestly avoided by women and feminists on these things by clustering men’s rights with redpill manosphere movement.
We are getting tired of hearing we are toxic, disposable and physical tools for others. And I must tell you this – the devolving and rotting feminist movement is exactly what is causing the explosion of the other extreme end, redpillers. A lot of people are starting to disapprove of these extremes.
Men are not “toxic” because they are not as emotionally charged or like vulnerability. Men are simply hardwired to be more resilient, calm, less hysterical, and protect their emotional sanctity the exact way women protect their physical sanctity.
Inclusivity by excluding men is not an inclusive initiative for society, it is just a lighter version of gender based fascism.

My work is almost done and I will certainly end up freeing myself from these unnecessary and manufactured societal and life problems.
exFAT filesystem is what you need, and FAT32 is what you have. Windows (natively) and Linux (via Terminal) both allow to format it and change filesystem. You can use GParted GUI on Linux for ease.
It is one of the best, while also being the most viable for cross platform use. While journaling types and the more niche Linux filesystems are better, they are quite exclusive. My external HDD and USB sticks are formatted as exFAT and it helps when I use them across both Linux and Windows on my computer.
Appimage for me ticks all the boxes for cross distro package as its very portable, simple to run, what are devs trying to do when creating snaps and flatpack?
That is not how it works though, because I have been a part of these religious cults for basically forever. The hobbyist enthusiasm has a threshold, the cultism does not. It is animalistic nature to form and live as tribes. It does not become different just because the congregation tool is virtual instead of real.
Capitalism is not human nature. It is formulated around abuse of human psychology. The documentary Century Of The Self by Adam Curtis will be something you love.
Except Western imperialist countries have exploited hundreds of trillions of dollars from rest of the world, kept them subjugated for centuries, causing these luxurious software development cultures to not formulate in them. You are falsely equating software and politics being affected similarly and to a similar degree.

LMAO the clickbait delusion… has anybody not learnt for how long people stuck to Windows XP and 7? 10 is incomparably more secure and robust than 7 was, and 11 is almost a meaningless cosmetic upgrade. People that do not want to, will not use Linux, and keep using 10. Comfort and compatibility take precedence over security and privacy. People that do install Linux, however, will still want to keep 10 or 11 separately installed, and Microsoft officially suggests workaround to install 11 on any computers.
