Dude tried to argue with me that ECC memory is why windows is better.
Yes, he’s that stupid.
He kept trying to argue that anything open source is “commie garbarge.”
You can see me completely destroy all of his arguments and he runs away like the MAGA bitch he is. Pathetic.

Oh look, it’s Madthumbs, moderator and owner of the linuxsucks community.

God, what are you, a shill? You really do have no brain.
Just because you attempt to call something a strawman and downplay its importance doesn’t make it true. We live in objective reality you rightwing numbnut.
The crux of this entire argument is that the owner’s political ideology and decisions can be interpreted as synonymous with the company, given his control and that a significant portion of Mullvad’s profit will go into his pocket.
Here, let me translate that for you:
That’s not a strawman, it’s the main throughline of the entire argument.
Owner personal donation: is more clearly the individual’s political view, though people may still infer alignment with the company—especially if the owner is highly visible.
Dumbass, you conceded the argument because you didn’t use your own brain to make it.
Without spoilers, The Good Place is a good show.
In your hypothetical, it would be similar to a person buying a rose from a flower shop for their mother, but the money they earned supported a company that funds another company that bombs children and the flower came from a retailer that orders flowers from a garden in another country that uses child/slave labor to harvest the flower.
At what point is the person who bought the birthday gift responsible for the bombs dropped and the enslaved children?
But, essentially, this is the same question posed when looking at a health insurance CEO. He didn’t kill 640,000 people each year directly. Nor did the employees directly. Nor did the hospital or doctors refusing treatment without payment. The illness or injury did. But the health insurance CEO did make the decision to deny coverage as much as possible and to pay as little as possible for procedures and medications that would have saved lives.
At what point was the CEO responsible for the 640,000 deaths each year due to lack of health insurance coverage?
The difference, I believe, lies in severity and knowledge of/if a decision is being made. The person buying the rose does not have a severe impact on the outcomes of the choices made by these companies. They have a very high likelihood of not even being aware and that may even be on purpose, as the PR for said companies would do their best to avoid consumers understanding this. Thus in your nurse and bread scenario. The choice is minimally severe and the individual is likely unaware of the greater mechanisms involved, meaning they won’t be making a fully informed choice. Once informed, they likely could make a choice, and that could be the only bread they can afford or maybe they’ll switch to a local baker, etc.
The healthcare CEO almost certainly is aware of the impact of his decision and he is able to have a large impact on the direction of the company and on the massive amount of harm caused. He is fully informed and makes his choice anyway out of selfishness and greed.
The nurse and the rose gift buyer shouldn’t be held fully accountable, if at all. The CEO is, in my opinion, most certainly accountable.
In the end though, there’s no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism. Does that mean we should forfeit our survival and/or not attempt the best we can through the methods that we can control? (A lot of comments I’ve seen say you have no choice and it’s stupid to think about. Or better yet, even with extra knowledge, they say it’s “based” to “remove those invaders” and “need to support them more, it’s not like lefties support privacy and free speech.” Fuckin wild stuff from the r/SomeOrdinaryGmrs sub.)
Great video from philosofree on the ethics of vigilante counter-terrorism. YouTube took it down and now it looks like even Patreon did too.
The owner is definitely a Nazi. The bar staff? A little more suspect. He picked them out after all.
You completely ignored the argument above. Or didn’t read. Are you ok? Did you reply to the correct comment?
But no replacement?
Here:
72% of the party’s funding…also more than 27x their entire previous years funding…what would constitute financing the party?
It’s a founder who owns 50% of the company…he holds majority sway. He directs the company. Elon only owns 15% of Tesla for reference.
According to data collected by DonationWatch, 2025 was the most lucrative year in the party’s history, netting a total of 5.58 million SEK. For comparison, the party received just 202,000 SEK in total donations throughout 2024.
5·2 months agoI was just setting up my homelab 👀 looks like I was just in time to give it a bit before rebuilding lol
And we’re allowed to have our opinions too? The founder can do and say what he wants, but so can we? Right wingers seem to be all about free speech in one direction. No one is entitled to our money. And many of us would rather not have our money, a significant portion of which going to the founder, redirected to a party advocating for ethnic cleansing. Which would make people need a vpn more via persecution. Not to mention a founder with 50%+ ownership would have significant sway on the company itself.
For those looking for other options:
And before you try to downplay what the party stands for:
https://www.friatider.se/markus-allard-om-andra-generationens-invandrare-de-ska-ocksa-ut
Örebro Party leader Markus Allard goes to the election on expulsions. He opens to withdraw citizenship and also expel second generation of immigrants – even if they were born in Sweden.
“I’m prepared to cross corpses,” he said.One suggestion that he has is that citizenship and permanent residence permits can be torn up – with reference to “Sweden is the country of Swedes”.
In a section of Yoshi’s Podcast, Allard develops his view on expulsions and explains that he prepared to “go over corpses” to bring home unwanted immigrants. The host notes that there will be no beautiful sight when, for example, immigrant mothers who have been on maternity leave for 15 years are to be deported together with their children. “It’s not going to be pretty to send these people home,” he said. Markus Allard agrees, but says: I think you can handle that optics. Even the children will need to be deported, he explains.
He further explains that many of the problems relate to second-generation immigrants. They are going out too. Even if they were born in Sweden, because they have no natural connection to Sweden. They are not Swedes. They have not become Swedes. It says Sweden in the passport, but they have not been interested in becoming part of Sweden. There’s a difference. It’s a qualitative difference," Allard said
Enough that you had to go back and edit it.
And how is immigration control unrelated?

But…but I need the newest Call of Duty: Shoot a Man for the newest guns and skins!
And and I need to play the slots to build my ultimate fifa team again this year to feel cool and then do it again next year!
And I neeeeeed the Fortnite skins. Otherwise my friends will call me default and won’t play with me.
I enjoy gaming on my tv with a controller,
Me too. I know not everybody can do this, but I ran displayport over fiber cables from both my PC and my partner’s into the crawlspace and back up to our TV in the main room.
Another option that we used to use that worked fairly well was Moonlight to stream from PCs to our TVs
And as for controllers, there’s a lot of options out there. 8bitdo makes a bunch that work well and I’ve heard of Flydigi and Scuf as well. I have a Gullikit KingKong 2 Pro myself that I use for PC gaming. Played through Elden Ring and the Witcher 3 with it. Hall effect joysticks are pretty cool and avoid stick drift over time and being able to connect it to most devices (switch, xbox, pc) is nice.
If you want to splurge, the Xbox Elite and Dual Sense Edge both work via bluetooth. You can get wireless adapters for all of the above except the Dual Sense. Standard xbox controllers work as well.
Basically, there’s a lot of cool ways to game on your TV with PC lol
I’m sorry, Sweden bans preganant foreigners from travel and sterilizes foreigners before entry? Wtf?
You believe anything someone in power tells you, don’t you?
sigh there’s no point here
Maybe the Swedes should adopt these policies too? Sweden is for Swedes, right?
They REALLY like their privacy
