I understand that I am perceived to have some manner of technology reach and influence based on my shitposting, for which I am grateful!

But I do not understand where people think they will get yelling at me if I even just mention using something that's a tech product instead of idk, as a classic example let's say, using some open source thing I have genuinely never heard of run by 2 strangers in a basement, one of whom has a years-long history of bigotry online. I will not do it.

@jessieJess Rose Shaolin Soccer is my perennial favorite in this category. And just in case anyone out there hasn’t seen it:

In Shanghai, a young, down-on-his-luck kung fu master turned menial laborer is inspired by a disgraced former star soccer player to set out on a quest to reunite his lost Shaolin brothers in order to show the world the incredible benefits of kung fu by forming a soccer team and (he hopes) using their martial arts skills to win the national soccer championship

and THEN the movie gets completely bonkers.

ETA: Get the subtitled original edit if you can; English version shaved off a bit of the wacky

I did not know we could add/edit ALT tag text!

I had tried before but could not. (2018?) This must have changed at some point since then.

Great to know, thank you!

Wer glaubt, dass eine #Klarnamenpflicht das Internet besser und höflicher macht, war noch nie auf #LinkedIn.

i love this sauce so much i accidentally caught a #wildredesign in my house! the new design is on the left. there are some very subtle design changes here that i’m very curious about! i’ll leave it up to you to spot them.

And sometimes people wonder why I am so vocal about wanting my devices to be *my devices*, and using Free software because I want to be left alone.

Because companies pull off this sort of nonsense.

People shouldn't have to do this.

"We were paid to install someone else's software on your tablet" just shouldn't be a thing.

Not everyone has the money, time, skills, or interest to buy a Google Pixel tablet and install GrapheneOS. Nor should they.
