You don’t even have to join. ICE wears plainclothes, drives unmarked vehicles, wears masks, and never shows their badge. Anyone can be ICE.

You are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.

An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.

He should have thought about that before raping someone.

That being said, I’m not in favor of non-rehabilitory prisons in general. I prefer the Nordic model for prisons, whers they’re isolated from society, but still treated like people.

And I thought Deep Throat was funny enough.

She’s missing out by not joining in.

The Democratic party has always just been another branch of the wealthy. Neoliberalism is a cancer that really kicked into gear when Heritage Foundation-backed president Ronald Reagan came into office. Obama (I believe in his second term) said that back in the 80s, he would have been considered a moderate Republican.

500% isn’t nearly high enough. We need every single person everywhere fighting against these gangster, white supremacist thugs.

That assumes that Trump doesn’t invoke Martial Law and suspend elections.

You know, that thing that the GOP screamed Obama would do. They’re known for massive amounts of projection, after all.

I’d like it better if they got a more permenant raise.

IIRC Revanced uses its own microG fork.

The original YouTube app that it’s pafching is obviously still proprietary, but all patches and the patcher are open source.

I started using PipePipe, which is a fork of NewPipe that allows for signing into a Google account to authenticate.

I create dummy Google accounts using an old Android phone, as that doesn’t require a phone number.

The vast majority of people stick with defaults, no matter how shitty they are.

It’s not difficult to enforce regulations on car companies, but they provide bribes to politicians.

Pork riders? In this congress? Unheard of!

Hopefully Valve will decide to release their Ibex soon. I do like that this is a split controller, but the ergonomics don’t look great compared to the leaked Ibex image.

This is on purpose. Republicans want all of government to fail so that they and their rich friends can buy everything up and privatize it.

I’m down for the entire government stepping down.

The “bigger systems” pre-corporate internet (and somewhat in the transition) were sometimes fairly large forums dedicated to one niche (sometimes multiple, but in the same general field). Once Reddit specifically came along after YouTube/Google laid the groundwork for the corporatization of the Internet, it centralized basically every forum to one website. Now even today, forums still exist, but it’s nowhere near what they once were.

That’s also not to mention sites like Geocities allowing basically everyone to have their own website (which of course, is another version of centralization, but with much more control given to its users).

And it’s not like corporations didn’t try to take control of the internet before 2005/2006. Just look at AOL in the 90s for a prime example, along with Flash, ActiveX/Internet Explorer, Quicktime/Realplayer browser plugins for video, etc.

Without capitalism, we would still see the internet grow, as even in the late 90s, it felt as if you were being left behind in society if you didn’t have an internet connection, but the way in which it grew would look much more akin to how it looked in the 90s and early 2000s.

The internet sure was far from perfect back then, but it was ours’.
