At least Thunderbird configs are stored in ~/.config/.mozilla/thunderbird. Right? Right...?

If my laptop suspends (?), the graphics get scrambled. Like, I shut the lid, come back a few hours later, and it's a completely garbled mess. Happens with Wayland; doesn't happen with X11.

I love Linux, but I don't think that Linux users should promote it like it's a free Windows, because it isn't. You should learn Linux because you want to learn Linux, not because you hate Windows.

Frankly, I didn't go 100% Linux right away. I dual-booted for several years first.

"The flood of crap" isn't what people should be worried about. They should be worried about Meta embracing, extending, and extinguishing the Fediverse. There's a good article about this here. People are worried about the wrong things and don't realize what's at stake.

Both are open protocols for communication over the Internet. Both have been adopted by a large corporate interest.

Now, how are they different?

If meta was to pull the plug on federation it wouldn’t kill ActivityPub, there would still be millions of us here.

It's not about pulling the plug. It's about introducing proprietary features that break communication, forcing people off of an independent server and onto Threads.

If most of your IRL friends are on Threads and your experience with them has gotten janky due to Meta fucking with the protocol, it's going to be very difficult to not switch over to Threads.

Oh, and good luck trying to get your friends to switch over to some indie server they've never heard of. If you can do that, then you should run for president.

It looks like OP typed it with their forehead.

But what about Winidows?

FOSS isn't about "corpo hate". It's about freedom. There's a philosophy behind it. You can, of course, disagree with it, but I think you should know what you're disagreeing with.

If the users don't control the program, the program controls the users. With proprietary software, there is always some entity, the developer or “owner” of the program, that controls the program—and through it, exercises power over its users. A nonfree program is a yoke, an instrument of unjust power.

You can pop out menus with CSS.

Yeah, it's basically "If you keep calling all of the stuff I like 'communism', then I guess that makes me a communist."
