Also, the fact that those conspiracies were real severely eroded trust in institutions both government and corporate. For example, does anybody really believe the FBI stopped suppressing leftists in 1971? Hell no; they just started calling it something other than COINTELPRO that’s still classified.

Because the articles are written by capitalists for capitalists to manufacture consent for capitalism. Of fucking course they’re going to downplay or ignore the Free Software/non-profit aspect of it!

That’s how you get monetized spying enshittified email. Do you want monetized spying enshittified email?

There’s plenty wrong with credulous dipshits who give lying propagandists and conmen a platform.

Fun fact: it turns out that all those LEDs rely (in Windows at least) on a super-insecure driver written by a hobbyist who last updated it in the mid-2000s and has since disavowed it.

I’m pretty sure biodegradable/compostable kitty litter is a thing. As for the floss, switch to a water pik, I guess?

I feel like the $190 they want for the Pi 4/microSD version would’ve been a reasonable price for the Pi 5/NVME version.

These are people who absolutely lay down to go to sleep at night and fantasize about getting to bug out.

In other words, they correctly realize that society as it exists sucks, but are too deep into right-wing propaganda to consider that less drastic measures than a collapse (such as voting for socialist policies) could fix it.

Look, I’m just saying, to be the “certified Most Fuckable Twink” being infinitely submissive isn’t enough; you’ve got to be attractive too. This asshole meets that first criterion, but absolutely fails on the second.

That guy certainly isn’t an “alpha male,” but calling him “fuckable” is going way too far.

You’ll have to start recycling and composting.

For example: In work and social life, I’ll give my phone number away to people I meet. But I’m not interested in relationships, so I’m far less likely to give it to women, since I don’t want to give anyone the impression I’m making romantic advances by doing that.

As someone who is relatively active in volunteering/local politics, I’ve been thinking about printing up some old-fashioned “calling cards” (like business cards, but not for a business). Maybe you could do the same, and seeing that giving out your contact info was such a routine habit of yours that you had a ready-made solution for it would stop women from getting the impression that you were leading them on?

…then again, maybe not. Hmm.

But is it because of being trans in general, or because of the direction of transition?

To add to this: If both men and women are allowed to have multiple spouses (which is the only fair way to do it), how do you deal with situations where a husband has multiple wives who has multiple husbands who also have multiple spouses? This sounds like a nightmare

That sounds Denobulan, LOL.

I’m still only a little over halfway through the documentary, but here are the main new things I’ve learned so far:

1. Even if all the uncertainty and instability stops right now (which it won’t, short of Trump being removed from office entirely), we are going to be absolutely fucked in 3-6 months not only with higher prices, but probably also outright shortages just because every business will have a big gap in their procurement pipeline due to the couple of weeks of uncertainty that already happened. And it’s not just going to be computer components; it’s going to be consumer goods of every kind.

2. Everything about this seems almost designed to murder small businesses.

Watch the Louis Rossman segment of the video, where he actually makes a pretty good point about why the price doesn’t go back down: https://youtu.be/1W_mSOS1Qts?t=5774

Mozilla spinning off control of its development to an independent group the way they did with Thunderbird would be the best thing that could happen to Firefox.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Thunderbird :

Operated by MZLA Technologies Corporation, a subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation, Thunderbird is an independent, community-driven project that is managed and overseen by the Thunderbird Council, which is elected by the Thunderbird community.

Chrome self-destructing because of stupidity like AI would only ever manage to be a close second, at best.

[black] resin printed keycaps and white air dry clay pressed into embossed lettering in the keys and finally sealed using nail polish to create a professional double-shot looking keycap.

Oooh, that’s a neat technique. Gonna have to remember that one for later.

Plus “AI” bullshit is sucking up all the fab production capacity.

Last time I saw any movie outside of my house was at a drive in. My city still has one, and I prefer it to the indoor movie theater.

Admittedly, that was several years ago (probably even pre-covid), but that’s not the drive-in’s fault; that’s because all the movies these days are shitty sequels, prequels, remakes, and live-action versions of perfectly-good animated films.
