Large chunks of the EU are hurtling rightwards too, unfortunately.

RFK Jr. is going to be in charge of US health policy. They won’t survive long.

As a Canadian I urge the same for Canada.

Bird flu is coming and likely to be far worse than COVID, while antivax fools control US health policy. But Trump’s supporters will always blame someone else.

As long as AI is owned by billionaires, I’d rule out the first option.

Even if you’re right, why bring this up in every single thread? What’s it contributing?

How does that force him? He demands unreasonable things. He’s an unreasonable man. Pointing this out won’t make any difference.

True. Not everyone needs to chase the latest stuff, apart from security patches.

Recently I’ve used OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, PopOS! and Ubuntu, as well as Mint, and all of these have comparable graphical software managers. Which ones are you thinking of that don’t?

Mint is not really for tinkerers. It’s a distro designed to work out of the box without the need to tweak anything, and it does that well. The downsides are that it’s not always the most up to date, and it bundles a lot so it’s not a slim distro.

Sorry to be a pedant about little things, but while you’re fixing typos, it’s “aid” not “aide”. I just mention it because it really changes the sense of “holding aid hostage.”

Why is the water consumed? Can it not be cooled and recirculated?

Short video formats on all platforms make me very quickly feel like I’m going crazy. Just one voice after another, trying to cram whatever they have to say into your ears, or one joke taken out of context, or one simplistic moral, or absurdist humor that wouldn’t hold up for longer than a few seconds. My partner watches endless “reels” on Facebook, and that hurried talking they all do, with all those cuts to make sure there’s no gap between words, makes me fell very weird and agitated. It’s like everyone has the same voice. And then it keeps looping. I waste far too much time on Lemmy but the short video stuff seems like another level of brain melt.

There has been an update:

Israel has received names of the hostages set to to be released on the first day of the ceasefire agreement, Israel’s channel 12 station is reporting.

Right now he’s using a computer with Windows on it and he couldn’t remember the details of where he got Linux from. He said he never managed to get it working. So no useful info, I’m afraid.

To be fair, it’s easier to be ignorant of neo-Nazi numerology than of their use of the swastika.

I’m just aware of how these people signal to each other. I don’t know anything about the Proton CEO’s politics, but numbers like 14 and 88 in usernames are common dogwhistles.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn’t know about that good luck meaning.

Oh OK, that makes sense. Still, an unfortunate choice of username that could add to the confusion.

Is he really using u/andy1011000? And he just started now? That’s binary for andy88, and isn’t 88 a well-known neo-Nazi dogwhistle as idiot code for “heil Hitler”?
