    Its so hard for these people to understand that when you spew hate at others, whether through your actions, your words, or through your ballot, that people have less empathy for your than other people that might experience similar hardships and haven’t been spewing hate.

    The whole comparison of “you laughed at Charlie thing, and now we’re laughing at ice killing” is so hard for these people to understand why most sane people view these deaths differently.

    Person C spent his entire life spewing hate and saying some crazy shit that puts other people down, or in danger with his gun laws thinking, etc.

    Person R was just a normal person, not spewing hate as a career.

    Cue the shocked Pikachu face when they realize I care more about person R, than person C.

    Similarly, if this person voted for Trump and lost his farm, I’m gonna have a lot less sympathy for him, than someone who voted against Trump, and lost his farm.

    Friend’s brother was like this during the 2016 elections, he absolutely would have voted for Bernie, but after the DNC prioritizing Hillary, he either didn’t vote, or voted from Trump, not sure which. There is truth to the contrarian angle to this. If they feel they’re being manipulated one way too hard, they’ll vote the other way out of spite, or not vote out of spite. And they don’t care about the effects, they’ll take an accerationist angle, stating the whole system has to come down, so it might as well happen sooner than later.

    I guess it’s easier packaged in a torrent rather than individual downloads, but I do question why anyone would need this if all they were doing was training AI, as everything is already available on YouTube for free. You don’t need to hack a company to get the audio. Now if you’re a human trying to actually listen to the songs, obviously the Spotify torrent will sound much better, assuming the hack captured the higher quality audio streams from Spotify. All the youtube downloaders sound like crap because its like 128kbps m4a (at least on newpipe, though you can do 160kbps opus if you want)

    If you install Ubuntu Touch on it, everything works because its using the vendor’s android kernel for hardware drivers. PostmarketOS is using the standard Linux kernel and a LOT of volunteer hours have been spent by people reverse engineering the hardware without manufacturers help, to get working drivers added to the Linux kernel. That’s why not 100% of the hardware works yet on most phones postmarketOS supports.

    My gripe with ubuntu Touch is I like the app ecosystem and desktop interface (gnome mobile) better with postmarketOS, so I’d rather run that instead.
