You didn’t give an example of shit. I asked for an example of how boys’ rights are being treated and you come up with some wussy nonsense about recess. Give me a break. No one has a “right” to recess, even if your complaints about it were true, which they aren’t.

Your ideology is a fragile, weak joke. It’s pathetic that the right thinks they own masculinity and strength while acting like a bunch of whiny wimps.

What male -specific rights are currently threatened or actively being removed?

The rate of girls identitying as liberal is significantly higher and unlike the conservative boys, the rate hasn’t started dropping off. Probably because the girls face actual threats to their freedoms, while the conservative boys’ complaints are about a bunch of imaginary nonsense.

But of course it’s boys who get the headline. The hill is a right wing dumpster bin.

But Google has the best engineers lol

Yeah I’m so sick of hearing about the Green Party. Yes they suck, but we have data on who green voters are, and only about 30% of them said they would vote for a Democrat if there was no green candidate.

It’s a convenient excuse for establishment Democrats to avoid taking responsibility for their losses, but doesn’t hold up to any level of scrutiny. Their biggest issue is consistently failing to motivate their own base. Obama understood that Democratic voters respond well to positive campaign strategies while Clinton and Biden cling to 90s triangulation strategies. Which didn’t even work back then they just got lucky that Ross Perot existed.

Green Party voters vote against the system. You can’t blame losses on them because the vast majority would simply sit the election out instead of voting for a Dem.

Yes they’re owned by IBM now.

Debian is more bare bones then Ubuntu, that’s why. Ubuntu comes with a lot of packages already installed by default. In Debian you have to install a lot of that stuff manually. You might also have to edit some configs for example. It’s not that hard, but maybe a little too much for a beginner.

I upgraded Debian to 12 last night, which required manually updating the source.list for the apt repos for example. It’s been a while but I’m pretty sure Ubuntu gives you a UI for upgrades? Upgrading Debian was simple for a techie who’s played around in Linux already, but it could be more intimidating for a newbie.

Depends on your distro and what’s available in the repo. With default repos you’re more trusting the distro developer to vet packages.

I trust debian for that. It’s been a while since I used Ubuntu so I don’t remember how their repos are set up but the debian team is notoriously conservative with their repos.

My girlfriend noped out of lemmy pretty much immediately after I tried to explain how to set it up and use it. Objectively, it’s a lot more confusing than signing up for something like reddit. She’s also pretty tech savvy, so I can’t imagine normies making the transition in mass.

If these federated alternatives are going to become mainstream, someone will have to step up with an implementation that greatly improves usability and accessibility. Meaning that federation will probably have to be masked to a large degree to reduce confusion. Maybe something more like a distributed network instead of a federated one.

As soon as you start talking techbro nonsense like federation and decentralization, people’s eyes glaze over. People don’t care how things work, they just care that it does what they need it to.

Hate to say it but a lot of us in tech, especially the devs, are really out of touch with end users. They aren’t philosophizing about the internet. I understand why people are excited about the idea of decentralization, and why it matters, but it has to be presented in a way that’s much simpler for people to understand if we actually went people to get on board.
