switching to a browser engine developed by a literal advertising company seems like a weird protest against advertising

servo is the only one I know of

sadly folks keep being told that voting for Party 2 is somehow a vote for one of the Party 1s and that the only sensible option is to vote for the other Party 1. wonder how the situation will ever improve 😔

mournfully flipping the counter back to “0” on the “it has been X days since a turbolib said something deeply homophobic” sign

ah yes the useless proprietary headphone jack (?) microphone jack (??) displayport (???) and ethernet ports (???) … which you can only replicate with USBC with expensive adapters 🤔

thinking back to the person who I know who (consensually) sprays guests’ backs with alcohol before they’re allowed to sit on any soft furnishings in their home

Sure, like any other wildly unethical job there’s a spectrum of different people’s privilege and ability to easily cut out to a less cartoonishly evil job – I would hold Person A with a background in cybersecurity and no dependants a lot more responsible for every day they remain a cop than Person B who joined police academy straight out of high school and is supporting 5 children etc.

But saying that Person B should be excluded from “fuck cops” – that is, that there should be an exception to the general cultural work of making it socially unacceptable to be part of a murderous, racist, unjust, reactionary paid army – is supporting the institution that you’re claiming to be against. Waiting until a complete societal transformation before campaigning for people to not take blood money (your euphemistic “consciousness price”) is valuing Person B’s economic solvency over the lives of the people they (or, being generous, just their colleagues) will harass, target, frame, and even kill.
