I say co-opt it back to its original leftist roots. I don’t mind calling myself a libertarian instead if I’m talking to a right winger who’s scared of anarchists and then just say “the socialist kind”. It’s a conversation starter to introducing a right winger to how one can believe a market free from capitalists (the best kind of free market) is actually not the worst idea ever

.ml people are downvoting you for disrespecting the Chinese government, but people would easily install the Facebook or instagram or WhatsApp app if it had malware and had private api access even to microphone and camera data and sold all of that to advertisers to advertise on Facebook or instagram or TikTok or X. Unfortunately that’s just not happening, so everyone is in the clear. Your data by any capitalist profiteering corporation in any country is safe, but Chinese ones are super safe.

I do not miss CRT tvs

You can say fuck you to America without supporting other capitalist or otherwise authoritarian nations, and instead support anti capitalism by using decentralized networks. I won’t slurp on Winnie’s hunny pot to say fuck you to Uncle Sam, but you do you lemmy.ml

One is open source and doesn’t steal your data. The other may or may not, who knows?

Real anti capitalists learn Esperanto

oh bless your heart 😌

Apologies for the southern passive aggressiveness, but I believe you may not notice how much content is an ad

I know that advertisers love that TikTok knows when a user desires your product. I wonder why they can target you so well? All state sponsored social media, X and Meta and company as well as TikTok, should be avoided if you don’t want corporations and capitalists and authoritarians having that much information about you. If you hate corporations trying to sell you things, maybe don’t use a dopamine and social habit tracking app that’s designed to sell ads to play on your fears

Id question the intelligence of anyone who used any app specifically because of a country associated with it when it’s not an app about countries. Going to Chinese apps just because TikTok gets banned is kinda silly imo, but then again I don’t use state-sponsored social media like TikTok or instagram etc

I played enshrouded and path of exile and Diablo and Elden ring coop and bg3 coop all with zero issues except on like the first few days of release if there are any.

The worst thing right now about Linux multiplayer gaming with anticheat is the release day experience. Or if it’s a AAA title with heavy graphics expectations, odds are they use some weird directx fuckery that’s not available in vulkan immediately and needs patching.

All of that gets fixed when Steam deck compatibility at launch day becomes more of a thing, so it’s just a matter of time tbh. I’ve been using Linux dual-boot since Hardy Heron and as my sole OS since 2018, 2025 may be honestly the year of the Linux desktop no joke.

human-friendly as in you can live there in poverty or human-friendly as in it’s great if you’re middle class?

thank you human 😌

beads??
