You can be anti-genocide and still have enough of a working brain left to recognize singling out one political party at a time on the genocide in Gaza is a disingenuous argument, cause they both suck, and that specifically targetting the Dems ignores the part that Trump would happily let his good friend Bibi turn Gaza into glass.
It’s a dumb pro-GOP propaganda meme, and people that think shit memes like this have value are dangerous because they encourage voter apathy.
God what a transparently lame pro-Trump propaganda meme. Boooorrring, next!
Are any “undecided” voters actually swayed by this useless garbage?
1·5 months agoOh that looks great, thank you!
Finally my Radeon works better out of the box than Nvidia? Amazing.
Glad to hear Mint is the way to go! That’s the one I already have some very basic experience with.
Is Steam necessary? I also use GOG because I prefer no DRM, but maybe that’s not possible in the same way? I’ll Google this one too.
Thank you for your help! And for the confidence boost to think this might be more intuitive than I fear…
Can you suggest a good write-up / walkthrough for how to shift to gaming on Linux? I’ve installed and run it before so I understand the basics, but that was basically just to keep an old laptop alive to watch YouTube.
Fucking Windows…just purchasing one big DIY spyware package these days.
3·6 months agoOh, HPPD is definitely a thing, but extraordinarily rare.
I may have misspoke about the brown acid - this was a legit warning resulting from “home-brew chemists” attempting to make their own LSD and failing to create it properly. Most of the supplies back then were direct from Sandoz (Novartis) and basically were being given away to the scientific community for novel testing. Fun stuff.
I’m talking about the hyperbole of “acid flashbacks” which was a narrative introduced to discourage and demonize LSD usage by the political and intellectual opponents of the Nixon administration. “Rots your brain permanently” and all that other garbage.
Turns out regular LSD usage by the “hippie” community and by many people involved in high-level education (particularly college and university professors) was making people feel more connected and empathetic towards one another, and that just didn’t do for the Republicans who needed everyone to fear “the other”.
What they also did with marijuana and heroin, and subsequently with crack cocaine, was truly abhorrent.
The information in the hallucinogenic section about acid flashbacks is incorrect. This was a false rumour spread in the 70s to demonize the political opponents of Nixon.
Sounds like a pretty big win to me? Who answers emails after hours, yuck

Which, to be crystal clear, they have never accomplished
Genuinely don’t comprehend why anyone uses anything other than Firefox. FF + uBlock makes the internet so much better
Ahh, after all this time, the Socratic Method still reigns
Since we’re all dummies and you know the answers, please go ahead and explain how Google goes about selling heavily targeted ads to uniquely identifiable groups, but that they also are not “selling data”.
Are we being massively pedantic and saying that it’s not actual user data, but rather leveraging said data to sell ads to the anonymized targeted groups, who are actively tracked by Google around the internet so ads can be served up at opportune times in their browsing?
Because that dumb argument is like saying Oxford Dictionary doesn’t sell words, they sell definitions; or that McDonalds doesn’t sell beef, they sell hamburgers.
Sorry if I miscommunicated. No, they’re not selling your home address. But the idea that they aren’t monetizing your personal data aggressively is laughably wrong and heavily documented.
Literally everyone. Have you been living under a rock?
A man’s gotta have a dream
Sounds like a pretty clear cut antitrust issue
Is there a good walkthrough of how to set up Jellyfin on Linux? If I’m breaking away from a shit OS, I may as well try breaking away from an increasingly crummy Plex
