Who are the morally bankrupt execs who wrote this? I want names.

You’re actually 100% right, I despise coffee.

Honey, the proprietary operating systems are quarreling again!

*sips coffee in exclusive Linux user land.

Oh, Android does this to me too. It constantly suggests I want to call my old boss from 13 years ago who I honestly hope I never see again.

It gets the point across SO WELL though. XD

It’s not and we’re not enemies and I’ve seen your username around and remember your situation. I’m sorta sorry for getting bombastic, but I also have REALLY FUCKING strong feelings about this. I don’t think you’re shilling for Nazis, I think you’re playing right into their hands when you say stuff like that and it just triggers the fuck out of me. Sorry. Mostly sorry.

Let’s hang out at Burn. I’ll share my booze with you, maybe you’ll forgive me.

I fail to understand why people think a bunch of rational corporatists who primarily want economic stability and who’s party contains a number of very progressive voices, some of them QUITE loud and influential are substantially the SAME as a bunch of INSANE RELIGIOUS MANIACS who think the End Times are coming and are literally stripping rights away from trans people, non-white people and women as fast as they can while looting the world around them as quickly as possible.

I’m so fed up with it. Are you guys self destructively nuts? Your apathy and “both sides are the samisms” have SUBSTANTIALLY enabled our slide into fascism. I don’t care if you disagree. I hold you partially responsible and I’m not gonna stay quiet about it,

I grew up around the donor class and they are NOT a monolith. Yeah, they’re shitty, out of touch and their wealth makes them crazy, but some of them are just VERY problematic while others are FUCKING NUTS. They ARE NOT THE SAME. I promise you. I know them very well, some of them personally.

You know what? I’m wrong, because I DO understand. The right wing media LOVE to say things they know will trickle down to people like you and get you to stay disengaged and not voting. The defeatist attitude and lazy thinking lead to a self sabotaging apathy that helps the Overton window get dragged further right. You’re not going to get anything kinder from me than a “Shame on you, sir or madam, for falling for it and DOUBLE shame on you for amplifying it.”

so tl:dr; STFU cantchangemymind.

I was seeing a whole bunch of Oracle people I know suddenly “open to work” on LinkedIn, posting about how they were all “ready for my next opportunity” or “excited to discover my next project” and immediately correctly guessed what had happened.

This is the way.

or do they often fail and vanish?

No. Niche, hipster, “latest hotness” distros sometimes vanish. Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Kali, Qubes, Mint are all examples of community maintained distros that have been around for a long time.

Since you’re looking for “stability” highly recommend Mint.

Now is an excellent time to make a donation to the Tor project.

No.

Doesn’t it sort of defeat the purpose of gasoline being used because it’s so energy dense? Like, this seems to suggest little more than the benefits of electrification in transport.

It allows you to extend the use of gasoline vehicles into an electric future. Fueling gasoline vehicles for $1.50 a gallon is also a wonderful eff you to the oil companies (I’m sure it won’t be allowed to scale).

This has been true since forever. As soon as people other than them want to carry guns, especially people of a different skin color, religion or sexual orientation, they are 100% pro gun control.

Exhibit 1: California, Ronald Reagan.

Steve Rogers, when the monkeys flew.

mander.xyz for science articles and memes. startrek.website and tenforward@lemmy.world for star trek memes. cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works for cybersecurity news, but not a lot of discussion.

The self hosting communities on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world are pretty active and good at answering questions.

I have kind of the opposite experience. When I go on reddit, I feel depressed and angry, when I go on Lemmy I laugh and learn stuff. Probably the communities I subscribe to though. I get political and regional news from Reddit (and don’t have an actual reddit account anymore). I get funny science and Star Trek memes from Lemmy and cyber security and tech news.

When any criticism of the Israeli government or expression of solidarity with the Palestinian people is “antisemitic”, you’ve damaged and weakened the very meaning of the word “antisemitism” and the moral authority of those who wield it.

I got it and it’s funny, but I think lots of people need that /s tag or they don’t process it correctly.

Thank you. You saved me a Google search.
