At which point the enlightened will protest by… using a different distro.

Yeah, “sharing information” on irrelevant Lemmy threads is going to make so much difference. You’re so brave.

I don’t waste time denying baseless accusations.

You misspelt slacktivism.

America sneezes and the whole world catches a cold - not just because you blow up international trade, but because you see your grievances as the most important thing, so that they are relevant in every situation, so we’ve all got to suffer through your self-absorption.

Do the internet equivalent of wearing a face mask.

Those responsible are foreign nationals, and regulators. Fining ofwat is just fining the country, and individual people at ofwat can’t cover the price.

It’s gone. It sucks but it’s a fact.

You’re making it my problem to block every one of the thousands of people that post off-topic on their grievances in every light hearted thread, so no. I am going to make it your problem, because you’re being annoying and socially inept. I’m sorry that that’s not nice to hear, but I don’t say it to be cruel, only in the hopes of achieving a better outcome for everyone.

Restricting yourself to posting about privacy and politics in threads that are relevant is not a big ask.

They’re already nationalising rail.

The rest is sensible too, but don’t kid yourself: it won’t be as big a change as you want. Water, for instance, is fucked due to decades of the country being fleeced, and that money is gone. It can’t be clawed back; it needs to come from peoples pockets one way or another

Well now I’ve got that in my head

Because nobody cares that people can tell what store they went to for some DIY supplies, and the OP isn’t even lauding the place.

We get it, it’s your special interest. It ain’t ours.

implying that Arch is niche at this point
