At least Thunderbird configs are stored in ~/.config/.mozilla/thunderbird. Right? Right...?

If my laptop suspends (?), the graphics get scrambled. Like, I shut the lid, come back a few hours later, and it's a completely garbled mess. Happens with Wayland; doesn't happen with X11.

I love Linux, but I don't think that Linux users should promote it like it's a free Windows, because it isn't. You should learn Linux because you want to learn Linux, not because you hate Windows.

Frankly, I didn't go 100% Linux right away. I dual-booted for several years first.

Victims of abuse? Possibly. Innocent? No.

Just because you're the victim of abuse, that doesn't give you the right to abuse others, and you aren't "innocent" if you do so.

Also:

• Anything that mentions LGBTQ people
• Anything that insults the US or its flag
• Any religion that isn't Christianity

(Not an exhaustive list)

If meta was to pull the plug on federation it wouldn’t kill ActivityPub, there would still be millions of us here.

It's not about pulling the plug. It's about introducing proprietary features that break communication, forcing people off of an independent server and onto Threads.

If most of your IRL friends are on Threads and your experience with them has gotten janky due to Meta fucking with the protocol, it's going to be very difficult to not switch over to Threads.

Oh, and good luck trying to get your friends to switch over to some indie server they've never heard of. If you can do that, then you should run for president.

Both are open protocols for communication over the Internet. Both have been adopted by a large corporate interest.

Now, how are they different?

"The flood of crap" isn't what people should be worried about. They should be worried about Meta embracing, extending, and extinguishing the Fediverse. There's a good article about this here. People are worried about the wrong things and don't realize what's at stake.

They pointed out that we on the left may have disagreed with McCain or Bush, but we never once feared that they would seize power or leave NATO.

They were saying all of the same things about W. Bush in 2004.

We trusted them to at least keep the ship afloat and respect the basic tenants of our free and democratic nation.

Not at all. The left viewed W. Bush as a wannabe dictator, not much different from how Trump is viewed now.

Yeah, it's absurd. Don't you think that if this guy had vandalized a Christian or Jewish display that he'd get more than "criminal mischief"? This is a hate crime.

Aren't we all supposed to be dead by now from the poisonous vaccine? This has got to be the slowest-working poison I've ever seen.

But what about Winidows?
