The Internet gained steam through hobbyists and is now that corporate shell as described. In my opinion it absolutely was a better place 25 years ago. Today the internet is filled with social engineering everyone’s trying to influence something and it’s terrible.

Looks like a good way to break your ankle or wrist.

There I was … lotion at the ready … then … suddenly … I have a strong craving for soup and cigarette.

It tasted fishy though but hey … it was good for me.

Thank you.

Does Lemmy need a “people of Wal-Mart” group to remind people who the real American voters are?

We’re here. We’re fat. We’re voting.

Pew Pew Pew … 'merica.

Win11 is why I’m using Linux Mint. Gaming was the last barrier for me and Steam is doing God’s work.

MS is positioning Windows as an ad platform. Start menu is now a cluster fuck without regedit and deep dive into settings.

I prefer an OS that doesn’t ask about advertisement IDs on install.

Is there a FOSS option to turn something like a pi zero into streaming device? My assumption is a flavor of Android is required?

Edit: referring to streaming services such as Netflix. I’m aware of that home plex and jellyfin servers exist

…the Bard. Duh.

Never had a problem with Brother printers

Takes a special kind of asshole to target a children’s hospital. Such a shame.

The current situation is dogshit. But let’s not gloss over the fact that President Obama had a chance to fill Scalia’s seat and he capitulated with the assumption that Clinton would win.

Do not take anything for granted. Everyone must vote.

Patrick Stuart with hair…just seems unnatural…

Perfect start … embrace chaos.

Where we disagree is in saying Hamas didn’t start this current conflict. They certainly did. Has shit been going on here for millenia? of course. The “strawman” was to remind you of the fact this opened with mass rape and murder at a music festival – that’s a fact.

You seemed to argue that thousand years of history seemingly justifies that and I’m telling you that it does not. " If Hamas did "… So you’re absolute when it comes to Israel but when it comes to Hamas there’ are modifiers. Your bias is showing.

Israel has done plenty of things that they should not be doing. The warlike bombardment of a city is not justified and has soured world opinion against them.

Yeah, so mass rape and terrorism is OK in your book if the ends justify the means? Hamas did start the conflict.

Israel was in talks with Saudi Arabia to normalize relations and Iran didn’t want that at all and they gave Hamas the green light to attack.

Everything that happens in that region is about Saudi Arabia and Iran.

The point was we need to take care of citizens first and we haven’t even done that. That’s the first order of government. I guess one could argue that giving everyone people who are not here legally services are protecting the public. Anyway, I was trashed last night so sorry for the rant but I still feel that the government isn’t doing all its can for its citizens first.

I’m a caretaker for someone with schizophrenia and the mental health services and coverage available in this state is completely inadequate. So politicians go on stage and say things like we’re going to give everyone healthcare and it is all shit.

Great step for what? Mental healthcare in the state is horrible. Can’t care for its own citizens but here we are.

Speaking with some authority here as I am guardian of a mentally ill family member. California vs Texas both are equally shitty when it comes to dealing with crazy. Housing is part of the major problem and no one dare fucking tackle that.

Fuck Newsome soundbite cowboy ways.

… as a Californian this is bullshit. Solve mental health and homelessness crisis. This is smoke and mirrors shit. Gavin is all about image and little on substance. This coming from a person who wouldn’t vote Republican either. We are literally in the darkest timeline. A turd sandwich versus a douche

Biden bitching about news media not covering the economy properly meanwhile this is the reality we all live in … and people wonder why Democrats are not running away with elections.
