  • Many here will be seeing this for the first time. For others it will be a fun reminder of something they haven’t seen for a long time. Still others will find it to be the same old tired shit they’re sick of.

    When you see the same old tired shit on Lemmy (or any social media), just move on. There will be plenty that is new to you.










  • I thought the situation was a little like Android. Google develops an open source version (along with as many independent developers who wish to contribute), then sticks on a bunch of proprietary BS and sells that version to phone companies. If chromium is to chrome like vanilla android is to android with g-services, then I guess my question really becomes: is google making this change in the underlying code base, or just in the BS they put on top?

    Or am I confused about how the connection works between chrome and chromium?










  • Every one of those things was incremental. Of course women never had a partial right to vote which grew stronger all the time. They suddenly had all of that right at once. But the process that got us there was incremental change in people’s perceptions and attitudes. And that whole issue was one increment in the broader picture of all rights and protections for all people.

    I’m very grateful to be alive today (and in the US) rather than 150 years ago. I owe most of that thanks to folks who worked peacefully, often in the face of terrible violence, to persuade good people to rethink their bad policies.

    We have much further to go, of course.
