last time i had to do this; i got around it by using another app that provided fake gps coordinates of your choice.

pizza hut in the small town i grew up in stayed like that until the 2018 when the sole owner died and his inheritors outsourced its management rather than returning to bfe to run it (i don’t blame them) and i feel like that’s how most older establishments enshittify.
there was no way he was making money, but he CLEARLY loved pizza & people and was happy doing it.
mine only had 4 pepperoni slices and never enough cheese so i had to spread it around more evenly to enjoy it and it was still 99% bread. lol
and you spend your entire tenure trying to convert it into another language while simultaneously adding to the pile.
and now he’s a “philanthropist”
emphasis on the quotes since he’s put his wealth into a charity; like most of the utlra wealth do; to avoid taxes so now he’s legally required to spent 5% of it in philanthropy.
they were trying to make a windows alternative since microsoft was using their leverage w windows to make corel lose money and courts were doing little more than slapping microsoft on the wrist for doing it.
they’ll not only shoot you; but each other as well. lol
bigotry exists in all forms; but it’s only the kind expressed by the uneducated & poor that gets rebuke and this one has been committed in plain sight since the 1980’s by the wealthy and educated.
i bet that the people who made this decision were dealing with the AIDS epidemic
tests have been available since the 1980’s; they just don’t want gays there.
I’m not allowed to give blood since I’m gay and have an active sex life
They want a device that “just works” and has their ecosystem.
i have friends that struggle to pay rent and they’re forced to pay apple’s extortion-esque prices when something goes wrong or when purchasing their phones and equipment.
witnessing them suffer like this hits close to home for me because i grew up poor enough to ration out the government cheese & powdered milk along with asking extended family and begging neighbors for food so that we could stay alive until next payday and also because i’m tech savvy enough to understand how unscrupulously apple has behaved at creating this well designed trap of an ecosystem that’s actively easy to fall into and passively difficult to leave; locking my friends into a seeming perpetually repeating cycle of new iphones and government cheese.
i think that the icing on this shit-cake is that they’re all atleast vaguely aware that apple is screwing them over; but they still accept it because it either “just works” or it’s “all they know” and that blows my mind because 5-year-old-me HATED government powdered milk in my cereal enough to switch to oatmeal for breakfast if it were an option.
if you’re referring to climate change and i would expect that it would cause the 4th near human extinction event at a minimum; so there’s a chance humanity will survive and there will be some sort of a society if it does.
perhaps since we’ve exhausted most of the easily accessible sources of energy; maybe the next society won’t be able to advance past the next stone age on-wards to develop the industrial or technological capabilities that enable such absurd disparities in wealth they can afford to bend the entire world to their will for a genocide; rending 99% of the world helpless as they can do nothing but witness palestinians culled into numbers small enough that isreal no longer considers them a threat.
Harris is Palestines best bet at continued existence. Sorry if that hurts your feelings or something…
continued existence is going to happen one way or the other. isreal is going for an american style genocide which means kill enough of the natives so that they’re a small, manageable enough number and then your country can spend the rest of its existence throwing enough $$$ at their reservations to ostensibly show you’re “super sorry” that you genocided so many of them; but not enough to for them to ever escape this newly imposed generational poverty and also without any promise that your country won’t ever fuck them over again in the future when another pipeline needs to be built.
It’s a matter of time.
i wish that timescale wasn’t in the centuries.
You’re getting down voted but this is what it feels like watching our gargantuan government help eradicate an entire people…
– again.
sometimes the sense of helplessness that comes from watching us repeat the history that everyone abhors and ignores makes me wish that i was a moderate so that i can fool myself into believing that voting for one genocider was better than voter for another genocider.
i also wonder if my existence at the intersection of several vulnerable communities would eventually dispel that world view anyways if i were a moderate since there are so many brown, immigrant, gay, autistic conservatives.
if that were all they touched, it would be fine; but i’ve lost track of the number of times i setup a linux system for newbies and got emergency phone calls that the install was broken only to discover that they clicked on some kde setting somewhere that they both forgot about and didn’t understand.
it’s sort of like people deleting the windows folder on a windows system because they don’t think that they use it.
If it’s you’re first install go with gnome since it’s intentionally simplified.
You WILL get lost in all of the customization options that are available in KDE and most xwindows environments if you have no experience w anything besides Windows or Mac
Which made them react by passing laws like doma and don’t ask don’t tell.
Best case scenario is that they pass respect for marriage act which did absolutely nothing but give legal protection for anti-gay bigotry since the supreme court already invalidated all anti-gay marriage laws almost a decade before hand.
Professionally/commercially they’re MILES ahead of Red hat, Oracle, or Suse.
Personally/free they do weird shit that usually doesn’t seem make sense on its surface if you’re not getting paid to learn it.
Take snaps for example: flatpak/app image/whatever makes more sense if you only care nothing beyond getting/running the software; but in a professional setting where you need third party info for something like an sbom or some sort of industry compliancy, snaps make it easy.
