    Linux has made a huge impact on the server market, but the same can’t be said for the desktop market — and for good reason. Despite making strides in the last several years, it’s still tricky for the uninitiated to use, and the user interfaces of the various distributions remain far inferior to those of Windows or Mac OS X.

    this is a blatant lie that i wish would die already. there are plenty of distros that make life very easy for new linux users. not only that but there are plenty of DEs that mimick Windows and Mac interfaces. people change grandparents’ computers to linux all the time and report that they don’t even notice the difference.

    Hong Kong riots

    support for the riots is not “support of anti-censorship”. it had nothing to do with censorship. a brief summary of how things began:

    1. a man murdered his pregnant girlfriend while on holiday in taiwan
    2. taiwan wanted the man extradited to face charges but hong kong did not have an extradition treaty with taiwan
    3. an extradition bill is introduced in hong kong listing 46 crimes for which extradition may be requested by taiwan, macau, and the PRC. nine crimes listed were financial (these were later removed)
    4. angry rich kids realized they would not be able to commit the same financial crimes their parents did

    it was never about being censored. it was about wanting to continue to exploit others without consequence.

    protonmail didn’t just “come out and support” the color revolution by merely making a statement. i’m not making the assertion that their support means that they are a honey pot. i am asserting, however, that their support means that, unlike their claims, they are decidedly not “pro-freedom” (unless, of course, their definition of “freedom” is getting away with murder).
