i still think you’re assuming what my actual, real-life views are from a silly what-if scenario! i am never gonna be in control of anything more powerful than a barbeque.

but if somehow i got to mind control the president or something, yes, i’d take advantage of that brief control to eliminate as many capitalists as possible

i’m not going to get into a debate about it, because i have better things to do, sorry.

i would agree that the USSR was socialist, but very quickly stopped being so, and now it is capitalist. that’s not what i call a success.

permenent? can’t plastic get melted down and recycled again?

once i put some plastic container in the dishwasher and it got too hot, it kind of melted a bit. it didn’t totally melt but the lid doesn’t fit anymore.

i dunno if it was injection molded though

any marxist who thinks that the USSR or China is an example of a successful revolution is either ignorant, delusional, or worst of all, a tankie.

they had some early successes but were immediately co-opted. motherfuckers need to learn about permenent revolution.

now neither country is socialist, both are imperialist and well on their way towards fascism

yeah, the USSR and China are not examples of successful revolutions, neither of those countries are communist

yeah you’re not a leftist, you have no fucking idea what fascism is if you think what i wrote was fascistic, lmfao

violence against oppressors isn’t fascism, it’s justice.

don’t get me wrong, if the choice for a non-violent revolution is there, i would take it every time.

but if, somehow, i magically became the president without any kind of revolutionary effort, that’s what i would do, and i would be totally justified in doing so

yes, i am. i know how horribly evil capitalism is and i would gladly make that sacrifice.

uhhh, maybe you should?

left wingers have zero respect for laws and will make the world better and fairer by any means necessary.

as a leftist if I somehow got control of the state I would immediately order for the rounding up and execution of every single person in the country who is either a corporate executive for a top-250 corporation or in possession of assets worth 100 million or more.

because that would be the most efficient way of rapidly reducing the risk of the wealthy wresting back control.

and it would be totally ethical

as for gandhi and MLK, well, india is a fascist dictatorship and, well, how are things looking for black people in the US?

it’s been one for at least a year. redditors are the fucking worst

you see? this is why we didn’t want redditors to come to lemmy to begin with. you brought the fucking astroturf campaign with you.

thanks, i wasn’t aware of the specifics :3

the sliding stuff generally wasn’t a problem unless you buried your phone in sand or something, that would probably make the slide a bit gritty, but it was fine otherwise

the keyboards back in the day were generally dustproof, yes, with only the gap between the keyboard and the rest of the phone being an issue. the keys weren’t like the keys on a laptop, generally, they were more like buttons under a solid plastic sheet, that’s how they kept it from gettng dirty!

you’re misinterpreting that list, it is not exhaustive - it’s a list of banking apps which someone has tried and updated the list. the lack of a specific country or bank on that list doesn’t mean it doesn’t work, it means nobody has tested it, or nobody has added it to the list, at least

The bank doesn’t need to manually support GrapheneOS, the app just needs to behave appropriately - which, as you can see from that list, the overwhelming majority of them do.

If my bank stops supporting it, then I will move banks. But I doubt it will ever really become an issue.

i’m a person with bills to pay, but if i paid those bills by endangering people, i’d be a bad person.

corporations exist to protect people from the financial and legal repercussions of their business activity.

they should not exist, and so, I will celebrate if Mozilla goes into bankruptcy.

we do not need them. control of firefox should be in the hands of a not-for-profit group, not a company.

FWIW, banking apps work fine on GrapheneOS.

GrapheneOS is pretty good, as a more private alternative to Android, though the downside is that it’s only available for Pixel phones. I bought a used one on ebay.

It sounds like a bullshit excuse, to me.

If they wanted to cover their ass, they could have changed their ToS any number of different ways than what they went with.

Let’s not be naïve. All corporations are the enemy, including Mozilla.
