I don't give a fuck about self-driving cars.

I want free, public, A+ quality transport for everyone and cities that don't project mobility as "having a car"

I don't have a Nvidia GPU (or any GPU for that matter) so that should simplify things a bit. So far, I've been only used to rolling distros and using LTS Debian/Ubuntu on servers.

Upgrading my main Ubuntu machine from 20.04 to the latest... Hope this goes alright. I've heard some bad things about distro upgrades on Ubuntu in the past.

The revolution will not trend on Twitter. The revolution is not a petition for you to sign or an article for you to share to your friends on social media. The revolution is not a codebase for you to push to, a key for you to sign, or a new programming language to push.

The revolution will not be Podcasted. The revolution will not appear as a title in your RSS feed. The revolution will not have commercial breaks by Skillshare and wacky little jingles for you to dance to as the take away your rights.

The revolution will not be broadcasted.

Not sure why so many people are upset over the DMCA on . I think it's fairly reasonable for Google to stop third parties from accessing their data without paying for it through watching ads, subscriptions, or through some other means.

The solution to accessing Youtube through FLOSS means shouldn't be building wrappers to access it, it should be through funding and developing alternatives like .

If you look at software as just a tool, then it is only natural you don't give that priority. Only if you see the politics of controlling the software in the big picture, you can appreciate it. It is not only about your phone, it has implications on medical devices that some of have to connect to your bodies, voting machines that decide who rules you, big tech that monitors and influence your decisions. Of course there is arrogant people in FOSS, like in rest of the society.

Also FOSS boys: people choose the convenience of Apple/Google/Microsoft because they're lazy and stupid, anybody can switch to Arch and PostmarketOS and self-host everything
