I hate antichrist meme template.
two people wearing helmets with logos of big corporations are raiding a house. The text below them reads, “we’ve got you surrounded, use our dis-services”.
the person whose house is being raided is hiding, holding a gun with logos of GNU, Linux, Lineageos, Firefox, and Lemmy. The text above him says, “I hate corporations, I hate crony-capitalism.”
I agree with the message but holy hell I hate everything about this image lmao
Everything about Lemmy makes more sense when you realize it’s user base is 95% people with good intentions and absolutely no fucking clue what they’re talking about or how life works outside of computers
yeah, the meme template I used is intentionally like that with the trollface and such. sorry if it bothered you. I had to recently interact with one of these dis-services and it made me think of this.
Oh you don’t have to apologize, I’m fully aware that’s the point! I just thought I was immune to ugly memes by now I guess haha.
I’m not even sure what the message is. FOSS has never been more attractive or easy to use (on the large scale at least, never mind the weirdos freaking over xz). There’s FOSS for most everything, in some cases better than most paid options.
Corpos gunning for FOSS? That’s always been here.
They’re gunning for the user, whom they wish to exploit. The user clings to FLOSS alternatives in an attempt to avoid having their data harvested, analyzed, weaponized, and leveraged against the user for profit.
Crony-capitalism is redundant, it’s just Capitalism.
*capitalism not crony capitalism
fr tho, cronyism is the inevitable result of capitalism. there is always a tendency towards oligopolies.
My eyes auto-correct “crony capitalism” to “capitalism”
Capitalism and the state have been intertwined since the birth of capitalism, overtly and forcefully.
Holy shit, is that lineage logo? I haven’t seen that since I had my nexus 5, god I miss that phone
yes, though if you can’t wait for lineageos to be available for you device, you can flash a GSI
