Meanwhile all tourist-facing workers in every non-Anglo country have heard “I’M AMERICAN! SPEAK ENGLISH TO ME!!!” at least once.

Corporate capture of Dems is real. In 2022, we campaigned extensively in the US for anti-trust legislation.
Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills for a vote.
At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up - JD Vance.
By working on the front lines of many policy issues, we have seen the shift between Dems and Republicans over the past decade first hand.
Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost.
Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.
Always a good idea to delete a binutil right?
I’d argue things like IRC, usenet, etc were also social media, only the term hadn’t been coined yet.
You can have a partial Y chromosome or transfer of Y genes to the X chromosome during meiosis which can result in a person with both sets of sex organs, or more rarely, no sex organs at all. Even genetic sex cannot be accurately represented as one bit (let alone gender identity).

Also, plastic “recycling” is a scam. It’s not like metal or glass recycling where the material is just melted and easily turned back into brand new products. Recycled plastic is extremely low quality, there’s practically no market for it as a material, uses more energy than producing the plastic in the first place, and generates more in toxic waste than actual usable material.
Also also, you know these icons? The plastic industry deliberately chose a symbol that looks like the recycle symbol to trick the public into thinking almost all plastic is recyclable. They just indicate the type of plastic, and there is no practical way to recycle the majority of the types.

If it’s a device inside my house and I can’t communicate with it exclusively over the local network, hard fucking pass. Goes double for “smart” home stuff. Triple for printers that handle your sensitive documents.
We’ve figured out how to do this since before the cloud fucking existed. If a company is pushing the cloud as a way to control local devices, they have ulterior motives.
