Is that worth losing fries?

Do you realize you are also spreading “right-wing ideas,” such as “we should not mock them, it would be very mean”?

Do they? You’re the first one I read mentioning that.

I’m worried that by using their tactics you contribute to popularizing their ways.

Do you realize you are using similar arguments as the far right / masculinist by mentioning nerds, losers, mockery, charisma, soft boys, soy drinkers, display of power?

I said before I’m considering those who may still listen and the next generation. I know you can’t change the current maga-like with public education.

You have to compete with the content they produce regardless.

No, you can educate people from the start so they are able to weed out information by themselves.
Isn’t it what you do? You are educated so you are able to detect the far right bullshit.
Or are you really watching a bigger amount of content that ridicule this view in order to counter its effect?

As you can see, I said “reputation”. I hate how little they innovate while still selling at premium, but similar to Disney, it is enough for the casual mass.

But how much of their resources did that represent? 1%, 10%, 50%? This being a problem really depends on that number.
They are trying to find ways to earn money independent of Google royalties so they can keep making massive FOSS projects, that compete with FAANG technology, independently. For me all the community troubles and failed projects mostly show how hard this is.

Do it if you want to, but I feel like it mostly a feel good activity rather than something effective.

For me the only sustainable and worthy solution is massively reinvesting in public education. It’s the only way to lift a country’s average education equally.

The fact that the Nintendos are locked down, family friendly and with a reputation of good production quality (similar to Disney), are also important points for non-nerdy parents and casual gamers who don’t want to navigate the ocean of PC gaming and its risks.

The first step toward meaningful change begins with us. We must abandon our craving for glossy (and therefore glassy) devices, and instead embrace hardware that may not be as immediately pleasing to the eye (as it is the case with e.g. Fairphones or the PinePhone), but is built to be slightly more durable, somewhat repairable, and capable of outlasting even today’s limited commitments to software updates.

Fairphone and PinePhone being only mentioned anecdotally for being too pretty, and I guess not as sturdy as the author wants, is quite weird for an article about reducing fragility and improving repairability.

I’m skeptical about how efficient that could be. Are you going to compete with how much content they are able to produce to ridicule it? I feel like there’s some Brandolini’s-like law at play here.
What should I see about teenagers? Last I heard, masculinism is growing among them.

Would you have a source that details how Mozilla spends money on the software development of Firefox vs other projects? I couldn’t find it in the financial report, so I guess you have another source.

Mozilla Corporation, who gets more than 80% of its funds from Google, around $500 millions, who does that to ensure Google search remains the default and to avoid antitrust issue if Chrome because even more dominant.
Firefox forks will likely not be able to secure such funding and pay the engineers required to further develop a web browser fully independent of Chromium.

How exactly does mockery and ridicule help?

I’d rather put energy in the education of those who can still listen, and the next generation.

Looks like a cosmological cat traveling through nebulae.

I take the expression more as a warning to control it so it does not impact my mental health too much. Getting (properly) informed is good, but if I get so depressed that I can’t act positively on the system anymore or I make it worse for me and others, then it becomes counter-productive.

Idk the band much, but I was curious, found this guy.

Paul Bruce Dickinson (born 7 August 1958) is an English singer who is best known as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Iron Maiden. Dickinson has performed in the band across two stints, from 1981 to 1993 and from 1999 to the present day. He is known for his wide-ranging operatic vocal style and energetic stage presence.
…
Outside his career in music, Dickinson has pursued a number of other activities. He undertook a career as a commercial pilot for Astraeus Airlines, which led to a number of media-reported ventures such as captaining Iron Maiden’s converted charter aeroplane, Ed Force One, during their world tours. Following Astraeus’ closure, in 2012 he created his own aircraft maintenance and pilot training company, Cardiff Aviation. Dickinson presented his own radio show on BBC Radio 6 Music from 2002 to 2010, and has also hosted television documentaries, authored novels and film scripts, created a beer with Robinsons Brewery and competed at fencing internationally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Dickinson

Didn’t human communication exist before social media? Why would it die after?
Maybe your view of human communication is a bit restrictive.
I think people using social media less and having more real life hobbies where they meet real people would do good for everyone.
