Pdf? You converted plain text to something designed to preserve formatting? But why?

You could use maildir and find things with “grep” or any mail client like Thunderbird.

That “fuckery” was blocking Russian propaganda on YouTube due to US sanctions.

False flag is rarely the correct answer. Not never, but definitely rare. It’s usually a knee-jerk by the party embarrassed by some action.

Keep an open mind.

He’s a lemmy.ml account. probably a 15 year old who’s just learned about politics. Lemmy seems to be full of them.

It doesn’t depend. A press release is not “news” it’s propaganda. There is zero neutrality or even premise of neutrality. There is zero opposition to what is being said.

You may agree with the propaganda. You may like it. It may even be true. But it’s still propaganda.

EDIT: I direct your attention to the rules:

2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.

There is no less reliable source of information than a press release.

Press-releases are “propaganda” not “news”.

This is a press release…

Read says it’s important to remember that drop boxes are often under video surveillance and in many places

So, hopefully. Why the weird energy?

Maybe y’all shouldn’t have made it so hard for third parties to run.

What kind of person is offended by masking swears in an article?

I love the arrogance of telling somebody what they mean even though that person clearly indicates it’s not what they mean. Like you know better what’s in my mind.

You’ve descended into “I just need to be right” now. No point discussing anything.

“Anthony Scaramucci” - not a great name of you’re looking for credibility… But hopefully the other signers and sheer numbers will carry weight.

That is what I meant by configure. You’re not going to HP to download your printer driver or realtek to get one for your network adaptor.

I mean… You can.

Just because Linux bundles a lot of drivers with your distribution doesn’t mean “drivers don’t exist”.

And it’s not only “closed source garbage”:

I invite you to take a peak at the “drivers” folder in the Linux kernel source tree.

There are absolutely drivers in Linux. This is nonsensical. That they are often bundled with the kernel makes no difference.

It doesn’t do storage. It puts it in SharePoint somewhere. Where? Nobody knows. You may find it someday and bookmark it. It will also show up in OneDrive and maybe even Outlook! Because Microsoft doesn’t believe in your concepts of “location” man.

Last time I was pulled over I got a warning… Y’all act like everything goes immediately to eleven for us normies. There is a lot of flexibility in enforcement for non-violent crimes.

I didn’t say it was tantamount to rape. Don’t try to make out that I’m saying anything like that. You know I’m not. Stop the absurdity.

sigh I love a good old internet “I didn’t say that - yes you did - no I said <blank> - you really meant <blank> though” bullshit argument…

I said “like it’s rape or something” - I didn’t say you’re saying it’s “tantamount to rape”. Settle down. I’m just talking about the language people use like they’re being personally violated by snaps.

Now show me on the doll where snap touched you…

I love how people say “forcibly installed” like it’s rape or something… You haven’t been violated, you’ve been, at worst, mildly inconvenienced.

I can understand people not preferring them. But the whole “forced on me” victim stuff is over the top.

Sure - but I guess I just don’t care? I don’t understand the snap hate. They work fine. Better than flatpaks even. I install some things from flatpak (desktop GUI only stuff) and some things from apt/snaps.

You don’t know them either. You don’t know the details of how much they’re taking. etc. You’re just as guilty as I am.
