TIL that you can get much lower online prices if you use a local library computer. Another reason to hate retailers.
Lora Kelley took a trip to the New York Public Library for us and compared prices against a personal iPhone. The results? A box of Apple Cinnamon Cheerios and a pack of toilet paper were nearly 20% cheaper on the library desktop.
That’s simplifying things to the point of being useless. Seriously, can’t we have just a bit of nuance?
There are legit, actual neo-nazis out there. I don’t have much sympathy for Daniel Berntsson, and he clearly has some shitty ideas and positions, but calling Mullvad browser a “Nazi supporting browser” because Mullvad’s rich co-founder made a donation without telling the company is just conflating everything into a big muddy thought soup.
Linux’s inventor said that AI coding tools are fine and helpful. Those tools are made by openai and the likes, which are run by some of the worst people in history, many of which are fascist supporters. Therefore, using that same logic, Linux is a fascist os that should be abolished.
-_- Seriously. I wish people would use their own brains to think critically and logically through these paths, and stop echoing into the chamber.
Edit.
Mulvad is not a fascist company or product just because a co-founder used his own money for fascist things.
It’s hard to say, but they do call for ethnic cleansing or “remigration” of citizens. That means concentration camps. What the US is doing now but worse. They also have socialist policies. So by combining nationalist and socialist (populist) policies, they are kinda reinventing Nazism. They are a serious threat.
It really is fucking sad because they were allies in the war against privacy, but you have to draw the line at ethnic cleansing.
