The regime lost. They went into hiding or ran away. It’s not necessary for every single person related to a group to be killed for it to lose.

The soviet union lost. Nazis lost. The Ottoman empire lost. England, Spain, Portugal didn’t lose to an enemy but their empires died. One group is always thought as evil in western education, the other is not.

The united states need to be properly defeated for the next winners to see the American atrocities in a proper light.

But I would be already happy with just their empire fading away and only lies remaining in school books.

Yup. People forget that whatever the Nazis did, we only see them in a bad way is because they lost. Their enemies are making the movies and TV series we consume to this day.

Unless an actual enemy of the us defeats them, they will never be seen as villains. Even if they lose a lot of power but one of their allies takes over.

England committed countless atrocities and while that is known, they are not seen as villains. They are not in power anymore but their ally is. Even Israel can be a thousand times worse than Nazis, as long as they remain in the winning group they will be forever the poor victim of antisemitism defending itself against evil.

Why the down votes?

A company removed your freedom, their founder even famously saying that consumer don’t know what they want but apple does, knowingly give up all their rights to a corporation when there are alternatives, declare that they trust the corporation, accept when the corporation forbids them from giving anyone else money, and now they are going to cry when the corporation fucks them? Like it did several times in the past and yet they remained loyal?

Apple users are insane… The only reason to use android is because it’s the only current viable alternative to apple. But they use their stuff out of some weird masochistic choice, and then cries when their daddy beats them.

They 100% deserve what they got while they keep rewarding apple for their evil behaviour.

And if I ever give Google money, I 100% deserve to get fucked while using it too. And it would be stupid to expect anything else.

I put crDroid on my pixel 5 and I’m never looking back at graphene again.

But I would have replaced it even if it was still supported. Too apple " we know what’s good for you and you don’t " for me.

To complement the above reply, although you paid a lot for the car, you’re paying even more daily, giving many away to very nasty companies that will turn your investment against you to increase their profit. Your data will be sold and you’re donating money to billionaires.

Is that what you want? Are you happy to have ads on a windows install you already paid, for example?

Because that’s what you’re doing. If you got a massive discount on account of the daily extra profit you’ll give them I would understand. But if not, why be so charitable to people who don’t deserve it?

I know there are other options. It was just hypothetical.

But no way. Just building the prusa mini was way harder than I thought. Took me days and I messed up many things. I wouldn’t try something even harder. Not that I have any way of having a 3d printer anymore… I’m trying to sell my prusa because of that. But I’ll stop trying to convince people to buy prusa.

There’s the choice of not selling this. It’s not like it will be crucial to them.

I’m sure there are a lot of areas in spying software, for instance, that israel offer unique and lucrative products. But I have the choice to invest on something else instead.

We’re talking about genocidal maniacs here. There’s not a lot of excuses to support them.

Ah yeah, I meant if I had to chose between the options. To illustrate that that’s a greater evil.

This is the direct link. So it is true. I’ll contact them to ask for details. This is unacceptable.

The vast majority of their population doesn’t care about the genocide, the vast majority served in the military, there are almost no civilians in that invasion.

Why would you, if you have any ethics, partner with people with a massive chance of being pro genocide unless there is no other option in the world?

Also if it’s money going to their economy, to be converted directly into dead bodies.

I had noticed how their ethical standard seemed to be going down from the kind of spam from them I’ve been getting. But I held then to such high regard for their old open source contributions that I refused to believe.

Thanks a lot for that into. I think I’m convinced now. No one with any ethics would partner with any Israeli company unless there was literally no other choice in the world.

I’d rather use proprietary products.

I just have no idea what the life of a Facebook user, for instance, is like. What apps do they use, do they wear Facebook glasses? Facebook buttplugs? Can they use adblock?

It’s a wild, unknown world, and I hope to keep it that way. What everyone knows is that they are filthy rich and they got there with private data. And that’s all everyone needs to know to decide if they want to make them richer and their data is the tool for that.

But the specifics elude me.

To be honest, since I have adblock I find it hard to understand too. How can that make so much money? But all the current richest companies and people built their empire on private data right? Google, Facebook, elon musk and so on, so it’s very easy to see the proof. You give them your data, you give them money.

Now, power is easier to understand. If you want to control or kill people, the more information you have the better. It’s easy to see why evil governments have always loved spying.

One thing I find it odd that I don’t ever see mentioned is the most obvious: private data is money and power for companies. Do you like X (meta, google, literal moronic x, etc) company that much that you want to donate money to them and make them more powerful?

Almost no one would say yes. They don’t care about their privacy, but they certainly don’t think poor zuckeberg needs some donations and more power.

It’s by far the biggest reason I care about my data. If I liked the company I wouldn’t mind the donation. But only evil companies would try to profit from personal data, so that can’t exist. My hate for these companies and my wish to see them destroyed far outweighs my concern with my privacy.

That includes governments of course. The one with the most spying, like the US or israel are the ones I hate the most and try as much as I can to not give them more power.

Yeah, I don’t know. I know that there are softwares specific for invoicing but I’ve never used one, nor did I use to send too many invoices. Most of the time I was an employee, doing some other freelances, so it wasn’t too much to keep track.

I used Inkscape because I was more used to it, working with graphics most of my life. LibreOffice is probably easier. But I don’t know how that’s supposed to be done with proprietary softwares either.

Hopefully someone with more experience on this can help him.

What software do you use?

I worked with 3D for decades and Blender replaced almost everything. The performance is actually better on Linux. I personally use Linux mint, but regarding software it barely matters what distro you use nowadays.

But support, compatibility, ease of use can vary a lot. I haven’t used another distro for many years so I can’t say much.

If you rely on autodesk and adobe stuff you will probably suffer. But personally I would say it’s deserved because there are not a lot of companies more evil than them. The sooner you start trying alternatives the better.

Invoicing I just used inkscape but it’s not great. Be prepared to make some sacrifices, but it’s all worthy to get rid of microsoft.

they contracted with the AFP to run the first node of the server and process the data. (Australian law does not provide the same protections as U.S. law for its citizens.)

Thanks for that link. I didn’t know that. We are below the US in privacy laws! Is there any first world country worst than Australia?

They said all users were criminals, but who knows what they are calling a crime, specially with the retarded laws down here…

It shows what I suspected, that Australian software and servers must be avoided even more than Americans.

I guess I committed a crime. Sorry, I never meant to say all of them are worth the same. Otherwise all those targeted groups could go and invade a country and call it their own, and make atomic bombs and attack anyone they don’t like.

That would destroy civilization. Only a few chosen people should have their excuse to do that legally protected.

Sarcasm warning.

Is it illegal to question the murder of gays, Russians, etc or just the jews?

I always wondered that.

Problem being I don’t know how that would work, especially since banks would probably hate freedom respecting systems.

Yeah, that’s the thing, I don’t think it’s possible without becoming as evil as the alternative. If it is, I’m all for it. But my freedom comes first.

Australia will lose cash over time. All first world countries will. You can’t stop “progress”. It’s just a matter of how long, and then how long until you are not a citizen without Google play on your phone. Or considered disabled, which is already happening.
