While Canada wants nothing to do with the United States, it looks like the UK is working extra-hard to demontrate it has achieved the fascism level needed to qualify for statehood.

Let’s address your points:

• bugs in apps with no community on irc/discord/matrix/xmpp to ask about (yes, i talk about you @libreoffice )

Have you ever tried asking for help on a closed source software vendor’s support forum? More often than not, it’s either dumb boilerplate that makes you feel like a mentally challenged newbie (“Try reinstalling. If the issue persists, try rebooting”) or it’s crickets because the vendor won’t communicate on its products’ flaws. As for other users, they’re just as clueless as you because they don’t have access to anymore information than you.

At least if you find a bug in open source software and you have the programming chops, you can either check the code to see what might be going on, or fix it yourself.

• assholes in communities if such exist (yes i talk about archlinux and @godot )

There are assholes in every community.

enshittification and slowly going back to not being opensource (yes i talk about @mozilla )

Enshittification is first and foremost a phenomenon that happens when a company tries to maximize its profits at everybody else’s expense. As such, it occurs much, MUCH more often in proprietary, for-profit software.

Also, way to pick the wrong examplke:

Firstly Mozilla is its own special kind of stupid.

Secondly, say what you will, but for all Mozilla’s, Firsfox’ and Thunderbird’s faults, you can still download a good browser and a good email client for free after more than a quarter of a century. Which software vendor can you say the same thing of?

Opensource is not perfect. Nothing ever is. But always remember it’s mostly composed of people who code for free and give their work away. IMHO, the right way forward is to support the good and ignore the bad, and pitch in and contribute if you can, rather than rant.

Les Etats Unis sont maintenant un état fasciste et ICE est sa Gestapo.

I doubt that Trump has ever read anything.

Having said that, he could have watched this excellent Merchant of Venice movie starrting Al Pacino, so he would know who Shylock is.

I hate Trump as much as the next guy, but I don’t think he’s being antisemitic here. He’s just the usual Trump: crass and uneducated.

Kind of like when he famously said "The only kind of people I want counting my money are little short guys who wear yarmulkes every day” in the 90’s: he wasn’t being an antisemite, just being a sleazebag.

Well, he’s still a sleazebag. You don’t make a racehorse out of a donkey.

I watched Bob Ross when I was young. It was a great program. I never painted anything not have I tried any of his techniques, because I knew it always looks a lot easier on TV than it actually it. But I liked watching him create nice-looking landscapes in minutes on late-night TV. It was relaxing.

Bob Ross was a great human being and he died too young. I miss him.

I’m not sure how Microsoft can enshittify: all of Microsoft products have been shit to begin with.

Newsflash: tourists avoid fascist countries.

Is that the same half that voted for this mess?
Cretins…

It’s all those new ICE goons the DHS hired.

The United States provides the best historical reenactment of Nazi Germany ever. Living history in action folks!

YOU should be getting a fucking rifle and getting like-minded people to get together

Oh… I was waiting for you to go first.

You make the mistake of thinking all of this is happening against the Americans’ will.

The magats like this when it happens to others. Until the fascists come for them that is, and then they’ll bitch and moan that it isn’t what they voted for. But it’ll be too late at that point.

Just like the Germans 90 years ago.

Amerika is getting Nazier by the minute.

Reichstag fire anyone?

KAG asks to remain detained by the US Marshalls for fear of being kidnapped and disappeared again by the Trump GestapoICE. Based on the premise that people want to be free, this shows how much KAG fears them.

Since when does Trump offer an explanation for the crazy power grabbing shit he does?

When he does, it’s always fighting fraud and abuse, illegal immigrants or antisemitism anyway.

Tyrants and dictators seem to have a knack for surviving against all odds. That’s why JFK took a bullet squarely in the head and Trump only got a minor earlobe scrape.

This is what happens in a country that charges for water, is more accurate.

Water should be free.

Amerika Uber Alles!

Imagine how many more miles it could do if it didn’t have the aerodynamic shape of a brick…
