ai chatbots being kink shamed by the one who had that kink to kink shame... Only that the ai chatbot can have thousands of chats going on so they just start practicing their kinks with us..

You read my message as an accusation to you, but I was describing everyone else and all the downvotes you got!

Of course you, and anyone else, is entitled to their preferences!! That's the beauty of FLOSS. That's precisely my point.

You said it's not the best and then mentioned Hyperland as a panacea of customization... It is almost implied. Meanwhile the arguments against you go a little bit in circle. This seems like the typical internet people polarizing themselves. We are all enjoying our distros, text editors, DEs, and WMs. No need to start making up factions at all... But it's way more fun to do so because we are humans and our society conditioned us to this. *shrugs*

I’ll probably never trust anything they’ve touched until I’ve taken it apart and put it back together again.

Me too. But the vast majority of users need guardrails, and have a different threat model. Even those that also care about privacy, if they just want a solution that comes by default, this adtech 'fake' or 'superficial' solution does provide something. And anything is more than nothing.

What's his crime? Drinking a succulent beverage??

Please, mother, stop slutshaming yourself..

Uh, how brave of you. /s

Peasants? In one of the top capitalist countries?? Haha, good one... They certainly have farms, but that's just one end of the production ..

I do read the docs. Even before trying software, to judge if ot will fulfill my requirements... Rocky Linux is one such example. Great docs, I'd love to try their distro one day :)

That's not true if you were to use off-chain transactions (i.e. lightning network)

Shitpost. Indeed... From Wikipedia:

In a letter to Yvonne Davet, Orwell described Animal Farm as a satirical tale against Stalin ("un conte satirique contre Staline"),[7] and in his essay, "Why I Write" (1946), wrote: "Animal Farm was the first book in which I tried, with full consciousness of what I was doing, to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole".

Instances can close registrations if there are too many bots, and somehow it could be okay. Bots aren't impossible to fight, the problem is that capitalist platforms support or ignore the issue since for them is somewhat convenient driving engagement... Or whatever ad-revenue system is behind that.
