What is the problem Daniel points out in Debian? And why was he banned?

I’m just saying that this is a very common case. People in the favelas don’t have money to leave for North America. Some people may find it bad here, some people may find cheap work elsewhere, but many people leave because they’re endophobes (the opposite of xenophobes).

The clear Elephant in The Room here is that the girl from Blumenau doesn’t live in a bad city. Blumenau is calm and serene.

What those people categorize as “violence” is mixing with other cultures and colors of skin. The existence of a dark skinned person is, in those terms of violence, a violation, an infrigement, an act of pure violence. Violence inside their own soul, that corrodes and decays in face of pure Existence. This is why those people are leaving Brazil, or that’s their main argument. People who look for places where they can thrive are many, but you can be sure that anyone using the terms of “violence” of their own accord are mentioning the pure violence that comes from their own souls.

Well, I don’t feel like I have to escape any homicidal maniac around here.

Define “violence”. People aren’t beating themselves up on the streets around here.

Good topic to bring in. I was first introduced to this on Onimusha 3 - it’s been on the back of my mind since then. It’s fucked up for the current state of our world, but what’s not fucked up about it? So I think it’s worth talking about.

Like having a living being that can do shit for us.

I like the archiving one, it would be called “The Librarian”.

People who can’t see what’s wrong with this are brainwashed beyond repair.

People can’t understand that being in charge of your body and your mind is essential, it’s fucked up. Big Tech will do what it wants for still some time to come.

Cool, thank you.

Is it Mozilla’s goal?

2020’s Unfck the Internet, by Mozilla:

"A whole sh*tton of how we communicate is controlled by a few centi-billionaires. That’s a new word for all of us: centi-billionaire. It means worth over $100 billion USD. Each.

Social networks are using us as much as we use them. They slice and dice us into categories to get micro-targeted. Newsflash: people aren’t “targets” and it’s not cool to create little bubbles.

Oh and security. If you’re sick of reading about — and getting caught in — one data breach after another, we feel you.

If you want to get out of this mess, we are with you. Mozilla, the not-for-profit behind Firefox, was purpose-built to make the internet what it can be: an open tool for everyone — the powerful and the weak, the right and the left, everyone."

Behind a masked sea of individual liberties, there is an impenetrable wall of distance.

I use Pale Moon because it’s somewhat popular, because it is an independent fork, and people who care about privacy seem to like it. I changed from Firefox because, with all the deals with Google, I don’t trust Mozilla/Firefox as an Open Source Project anymore. I want something developed by people who actually care about these things (privacy, freedom, etc.), not development bound by contracts with Big Tech.

GNU IceCat might be cool too.

If you fork Chromium, you’re subjected to all that it has coded before, after all you’ll use it as a base. Also, to the Chromium license.

Chromium is better than Firefox in some ways, but I think it’s less work to fork from Firefox, if you want a anti big tech alternative. Bromite is a Chromium fork that supposedly works for privacy, but I don’t know.

I use Pale Moon, which forks from Firefox 68. Still trying to make extensions work, but maybe it’s worth the extra work.

Same goes for Chromium.

Reputation would just turn this into Reddit, where you can’t do anything or interact unless you use a single account or post what Reddit would like you to post.

Ok, people are helping. But we’re not here to serve you.

Open source malware. Cool.

What you are saying is fine, until this:

“What’s referred to as the open source sustainability problem has played out on a large scale where companies like Amazon have been accused of co-opting open source projects to stifle smaller competitors like Elasticsearch and MongoDB.”

Companies are using open source to end smaller companies. There should be protection, practical and written, against that. At least the smaller companies should be the ones benefitting from it.

Explain the concept of free software to her: that it is free to use for everyone, and reproducible in case the original programmers aren’t interested in it.

Since she is going to use it for her business, she will want to know if it can use peripherals well, which it can in most cases, and if it runs Office. The main document format of the world is .docx, so recommending LibreOffice for the regular user isn’t a good idea since the document isn’t translated well after edited by LibreOffice. I would recommend OnlyOffice - it’s like Google Docs in its features, but it works offline. And it comes bundled with Manjaro, which is an easy to use distribution.

Forums + chat is the way these applications will rise in use. Chat is just too slow for when there are few people, and forums will bring more people interested on the topic in.
