- Comment on Feds Threaten Wikipedia After Right-Wing Media Uproar 4 days ago:
To be fair it is a little left leaning and the editors sometime massive jerks.
However, it really isn’t bad at all. They do a pretty decent job of publishing factual information and Wikipedia is useful to a lot of people. Even if it was publishing propaganda they would still be protected under free speech. There are way more sketchy non profits than Wikipedia. It is kind of scaring that it is now a target

The thing is, the real Linux user base isn’t granny. It is the users who are interested in computers or computer related things. Linux isn’t for everybody but it isn’t a novelty either. Being a novelty would mean it is has no functional value which isn’t the case as it does have some market share.
Also there is no reason granny can’t be a computer nerd
- Comment on How Marc Andreessen’s Signal group chats helped spawn the tech right 6 days ago:
So?
Obviously it isn’t great when far right billionaires are talking in secret but this article seems like it is trying to blame Signal. With strong security and privacy tools you can do whatever you want. That’s good as it empowers people of all walls of life.

Last time I checked only the supreme court has the authority to declare something unconstitutional.
