That isn’t the whole picture. I was born in 1988. The sampling of music from the 70’s that I’ve been exposed to is completely different to the sampling of music from the same period that someone born in '58 was exposed to in their lifetime. They got to listen to a bunch of bad stuff (and probably some great stuff) that I don’t even know exists.

Old=good is a great mentality specifically when standing the test of time is an important factor. For the most part, the old code that’s still used today is only still used because it’s proven good, whereas it’s a grab bag with newer code. And that’s the cause of the unwarranted nostalgia thay you’re rightfully criticising.

It’s like with music. “Oh, the X’s were the best decade for music, today’s music is garbage”. No, 90% of everything is crud but unless you’re an enthusiast, once enough time has passed, you’ll only ever be exposed to the 10% that isn’t. 50 years from now nobody is going to be listening to Cardi B.

Termux has been a thing for years.

The only real difference is that Google pretends to be open and Apple pretends to be privacy-focused. It’s the illusion of choice. They’re both selling their users’ data to the same people.

privacy these days is really hard to achieve

Which is exactly why claims like this should be backed with evidence.

Unsourced claims like this do absolutely no good to anyone, ever. Which means that either right before typing this comment, you though to yourself “time to be a bad person for no good reason” or you’re a shill for some surveillance agency with an interest in scaring people away from privacy enhancing solutions.

~ resolves to your home folder only if it’s at the beginning of a path. /~ isn’t the same as ~. Go ahead and test it with something other than rm if you don’t believe me (this is the Internet, I could be lying).

LOL a productive member of society? Dude, unlike you I actually have a job in an industry that actively improves quality of life for people. While you live on dividends from marketing or subletting or whatever the fuck workless income source allows you to be a communist, I bust my ass in the recycling industry. I’m saving the planet while you jerk iff to AI porn of Furry Stalin LOL

What a surprise, you’re pro-gulag and can’t spell “liar”. I bet your own feces have a higher IQ than you.

Actually it won’t. And unlike you, I know that for a fact.

By the way, every neighborhood in Venezuela is a poor neighborhood thanks to Maduro. He realized the Communist dream of ending social inequality by making everybody miserable. Except for himself and his geberals, of course.

Unlike you I actually know several of them and have some idea what I’m talking about. All you get fed is propaganda, I get it straight from the horse’s mouth.

I can’t wait to “miss” Maduro. Neither can all of Venezuela.

Still a billion times better than Maduro.

I’d be insulted if a delusional commie like you did respect me. I know the people you respect: thieves, mass murderers, liars, warmongers. I don’t want to be bunched in with them.

Ah, if onky you lived in the real world. But you live in fantasy land where Communism works.

Bro, seriously. I oersonally know Venezuelans with a higher education - one lawyer and one engineer - who emigrated to Peru to work as a maid and as a bartender so that they could send money back to their families. GDP means nothing if the people don’t get to share in the wealth. In Venezuela, only the top government and army officials live above the poverty line. This isn’t your stupid little Marxist theory written by people who never actually read Marx. This is real people starving and being miserable because of Communism. How can you not understand that? Or maybe yku do and yku just don’t care. Fuck everyone else as long as you can play the part of revolutionary hero in your head, right?

Yeah, boo hoo it’s not our unsustainable economical model that’s the problem, it’s the sanctions! Those evil people with a worse economical model that somehow have the power to bankrupt our better model by oreventing it from participating in a free international market (aka the bad model). Because that’s nit completely fucking retarded.

LOL have you actually been to Venezuela? Fucking idiot.

I’m all for the “Chinese model” (aka market Capitalism) spreading around the world. Hopefully it will spread to Venezuela very soon.

You’re so mad it’s legitimately entertaining. Please continue to spout your half-digested and quarter-understood propaganda for my amusement. Just make sure not to mention a certain event that happened at ancertain square or you’ll be blacklisted from ever entering the glorious Communist utopia of China where everyone’s a millionaire who is free to have as many babies as they want and to freely express their opinions without fear of reprisal.
