The wording should be "some of us get 2 weeks a year of vacation, while these fucks get 2 weeks a year of work."

"What then?"

"Same as it ever was!"

We all fight over resources that actually matter (like food, water, shelter and security) instead the previous things (money), for the enjoyment of our overlords.

Seriously, the people who have power to change the outcome of the future seem to either straight not be planning for this future scenario, or are planning for a horribly distopian version of this future scenario.

They turned on the public quick too. 2 weeks after RFK (or whoever) publicly said people under 65 shouldn't be getting the vaccines anymore, and I tried to get a booster and Costco pharmacy staff was giving me the same line, worded exactly as the administration did. 14 days is all it took. I was finally able to get it after argueinf with them a bit, and the fact that I'm type 1 diabetic, and they relented. Apparently the insurance companies stopped supporting it when the administration did, immediately.

Its even worse, selling your body for someone else's profit. I was just recently in a weird knickknack store that had taxidermy peacocks, butterflies, gems, minerals, etc.. But one of the 'etc' was a human skeleton that the person donated their body to science in early 1900's only to end up being for sale for the low price of $9,000 after the medical organization they donated their body to was either done with it, or the organization dissolved, or who knows what...

Pretty shitty that its legal to sell people's fucking remains for a profit...

Won't that just make the libraries attempt to buy more content to replace the unusable content? I say attempt because they might not have enough funding to actually replace anything anymore, but who knows.

If we do live in a simulation, can I be taken out by a corrupt memory allocation, please?

Proton isn't for profit? Huh TIL. Anyway, they both support Trump, so both aren't great. Make of that what you will, sliding scale of ethics and all that...

Sooo.. Maco? Or are we reserving that only for the big guy?

It didn't get enough attention or make enough money, so Canonical dropped it. Its still on life support and slowly having some features added by the the open source community under the name ubports, but its slow going (they just updated the entire codebase from Ubuntu 16.04->18.04 and most recently 20.04) and not the best approach in my opinion, as i think every app has to be specifically developed for ubports, unlike postmarketOS where you can install anything in the repo. It also uses halium which is a translation layer for the android kernel that allows rhe Linux side to interact with hardware, since a lot of the drivers to make these phones work, aren't mainlined.

Also like any project like this, device support is severely lacking (especially in the US).

Though admittedly, I didn't realize you could get fairphone in the US now, and that it might work on us bands. So ubports on fairphone 5 might be good, dunno.

Sadly the CEO of Proton turned out to be not a great guy.
