These are the times that try men’s souls. They are also the times that put the “Fuck You” in “Fuck You Money."

Nothing but 😍 for the KDE team and everything you do!

Huh.

Seems like there’s a weekly article about how it’s dead or an echo chamber because there’s less tolerance for hatred.

Guess not.

Cratpound?

I had the same recollection. Turns out it’s common-ish.

His last words were:

You mother fuckers!

I expect this to have broad bipartisan support and to pass with little opposition.

And we could hope the Supreme Court would look out for us, but, well…

😬

It sounds so dramatic and I know people roll their eyes when I say things like that, but it’s absolutely true.

The deeper I’ve gone with Linux over the years the more Windows seems (aside from the obvious privacy concerns and generally being trash corporate citizens) like an intentionally convoluted and overcomplicated mess.

I feel pretty much the same about anyone who complains about something being “woke”, no matter the topic - if perceiving and objecting to harms against and struggles of others not like yourself offends you, if seeing others actively try to work in support of those others is something you just can’t stomach, then you aren’t someone whose opinion I care about.

Plus the folks making those complaints can rarely define what woke is, or struggle to without using language that will immediately “out” their actual objections.

Every time I use my ereader I just luxuriate in the eink screen, warts and all. The very moment I can get an extenal eink display for my computer that is both of reasonable resolution and also not exorbitantly expensive, I’m doing it. I wouldn’t want it as a primary monitor but I’d love love love it as a secondary.

I definitely want an eink phone, but I doubt I’ll have the bucks to be an early adopter, which is fine.

The people cheering it on think it’s patriotism. Then there still seems to be maybe a third of us who think this was just another election we had in 2024.

The rest of us know, and are appropriately freaked the fuck out.

This might be the new high bar for scary action by this admin.

Stupid mother fuckers.

Anyone old enough to remember knows - politicians have been stupid and reactionary about public access to the internet from its earliest days.

Section 230 of the DMCA is probably the only reason social media as we know it was able to emerge past infancy. (You could argue about whether we might want to put that cat back in the bag, but the earliest discussion forums, leading to sites like Lemmy and Reddit, also could not have existed as we all knew them.)

And frankly, this looks like another part of the march to oligarchy to me. When the only social media sites that can exist are those with owners that have big enough pockets to hire enough people to become responsible for what users post and aggressively control it… (or, shudder what if the end goal is literally nationalized social media)

My bad for not being in circles where this behavior was common the last 20 years i guess?

When people talk about privilege, and checking it, doing that before your other comment is what they are talking about.
