Yeah, that account doesn't exist on Twitter.

Unfortunately, I feel that switching to Bluesky is not the correct move if we want to defend against "musk-ism". They've already banned a tonne of people for political reasons. The larger they get, the bigger a snack they become for "investors" and businesses. It'll just turn into "Twitter with different logo" and eventually fall into the same exact pitfalls as Twitter did.

With all its problems and shortcomings, Mastodon seems to be the only sensible option.

I'm fairly new to Linux, so I might be missing something obvious, but I'm super confused by some of these.

Photos, the image viewer that works both on desktops and mobiles

Not available for either Android or iOS.

Merkuro was built with the idea to be usable on desktop, on mobile and everything in between

Not available for either Android or iOS.

So, what do they mean by "usable on (...) mobile"? Is it only for mobile Linux distros?

While I hate what's happening in the US right now as much as the next guy, let's not over-inflate the language used. It doesn't help anybody.

If we start calling what's currently there "ICE death camps" because 10 old people died across the whole country, people will get jaded, will start ignoring the cries for help as alarmist. And THEN the actual death camps will show up, but by that time nobody will be paying attention.

Exactly as it happened with Gaza.

It would be absolutely hilarious if Musk actually set up his own party, financed it all the way to the Congress, got offended because people didn't lick is arse deep enough, got kicked out for being annoying and accidentally created an actual pro-people alternative to all these corporate vampires.

It could

If it were done right. Just as Communism really really would end poverty and save the world and bring equality for all if juuuust done right.

Yeah! All it takes is a fundamental change in human nature where we eradicate greed. Funnily enough, that one little trick fixes both Capitalism AND Communism and allows us to finally reach utopia.
