  1. @nixCraft I know several cases where minors got prosecuted and/or penalized for using #Linux's #CLI & #bash and wrongfully suspected and accused of doing nefarious activites when they literally did nothing illegal ir wrong at all...

    Because #TechIlliterates are allowed to knowingly spread #lies and #FUD:

    And then we get weapons-grade #Cyberfacism:

    Because #WhatYouAllowIsWhatWillContinue!

  2. @joshb @EposVox EXACTLY THAT!

    #Discord is worse than #Mailingists, #IRC and #Forums combined because those - like #GitHub #Issues or any other public site & server - can at least be #crawled and #archived in a #searchable fashion.

    Whereas Discord is peak #Enshittification and not only #AntiAccessibility but also the worst kind of communication solution, as there isn't even any option to export stuff from within it - something even #Slack & #MicrosoftTeams can do [#Zulip has been able to do that from the start]...

    Discord is a bad and wrong excuse not to provide #public documentation and/or downloads.

    #GithubPages is free & #DDoS-protected #Webhosting and for fast downloads on the cheap, #BitTorrent exists for almost two decades now...

    I mean, do people who use Discord know how many times people like me needed to use @internetarchive / #InternetArchive's #WaybackMachine to access contents?
    How many hours of labour have been collectively saved by #DuckDuckGo #InstantAnswer linking to the correct #StackOverflow / #ServerFault thread??

    Discord is an #InformationBlackHole and should be regarded with the same public accessibility as a intelligence agency's database: Don't use it and don't contribute to it - period!

  3. @sjmulder @landley sadly a lot of #TechIlliterates seem to accept the #Enshittification of #tech because they don't know better and rather believe marketing lies than ask #InconvenientTruth|s.

    The fact that a lot of #Apps are so outrageous #Bloatware isn't a law of nature but a result of #WhatYouAllowIsWhatWillContinue applied to the masses...

    There is no reason for a website (w/o images and other multimedia content OFC) to be bigger than OS/1337 and taking longer to load than #OS1337 needs to boot on anything that isn't a severely choked #Iridium satellite internet connection...

  4. @mshelton or better: Look at your #IT #Refurbisher...

    Chances are they have a ton of cheap #Lazer multifunction units for less than a full pack of #Ink needed to scan (!!!) with those shitty #Inkjet machines.
    infosec.space/@OS1337/11182203

    Also don't just ditch #hp for printers, but also #PCs and #Laptops, because their #ProBook series of machines do #VendorLocking of #RAM and will refuse to boot without manually confirming by pressing F1 on the devices' keyboard every single bootup (!!!), bricking #PXE-Boot & #WakeOnLAN / #WoL in the process just to #FUD #customers and #IntependentRepair service providers!

    The problem is in #IT that #WhatWeAllowIsWhatWillContinue and we allowed Corporations like #Apple to sprearhead the #Enshittification with #GluedInBatteries, #SolderedDownRAM, #SolderedDownSSDs and #AntiRepairDesign!

    The only winning move is to refuse to buy such shit!!

    Get a @frameworkcomputer and a @fairphone / #Fairphone if #BuyUsed & #UseLonger isn't an option, because in #capitalism, your reciept is your vote - EVERY SINGLE TIME!
