The tofu eating wokerati want to trap us on our homes! They want us to wear ankle trackers that ensure we don’t travel more then 15 minutes from the house!

They’re trying to ensure all the most important amenities are within walking distance so they can lock us down forever and control how we breed and what we think!

Then they’ll slowly replace us with the foreigners they’re shipping in on their small boats, and before you know it we’ll all be French! It’s an invasion from within!

Wake up sheeple!

Damn, I don’t even weigh 21 stone, he lost more than I weigh! That’s wild.

Honestly people keep saying this but I just don’t find it to be true. Google is a vital daily resource for me, and usually the best way for me to find most things.

Is this because I don’t use social networks? Are people somehow using Instagram or TikTok as search engines to find what they’re looking for? It feels like people just use social networks these days and nothing else, so maybe that’s it?

YouTube is fantastic but it’s a video platform, all you’re going to find there are videos.

If I need to find a business or product page, I’m not going to look on YouTube. Same if I need to find a driver download, or a PDF manual, or the local weather, or information on a historical event, or…we’ll, you get the idea. They just do videos.

Similarly Reddit has a lot but it’s mainly centered around discussions of things. I use it as a very valuable resource, but similar to the above, it’s not where I go when I’m not looking for the one thing they do very well - discussion.

It sounds as if the main thrust of this idea isn’t that Google (or a search engine in general) is any less vital in daily web life, but rather that for some things you can go straight to the more centralised source and search there. E.g. if I want a video I’ll search on YouTube, rather than searching Google for aggregated results from many video hosts.

In that sense Google is slightly less relevant sure I agree, but only a little bit, and only for very specific things.

I always find it odd that Americans pronounce it so weirdly, but that’s different cultures with different fresh takes on our language I suppose.

You know what? You’re absolutely right! We have no future, if climate change doesn’t get us in the next 50 years, or the endless crushing of the working classes under late stage capitalism, then the rising new wave of western fascism will when it takes over.

Nothing matters any more, let’s just do whatever we want <3

To somebody in the USA this might sound uplifting given how bad things are there as a baseline in healthcare and women’s rights, but to us Europeans this situation just sounds horrifically dystopian and deeply saddening :-(

That guy’s weirdly obsessed with what other people do on social media. Doesn’t he know nobody’s making him browse other people’s profiles and read their conversations?

I thought it was Obama they blamed?

Thanks Obama!

We’ve all agreed that when he dies it would be disrespectful to keep using Linux so we’ll pack it up and switch to Windows from them on.

They just need to pull themselves up by their borgstraps!

If you love piracy you should consider voting/joining your local Pirate Party (pp-international.net)

From wikipedia: “Pirate Party is a label adopted by political parties around the world. Pirate parties support civil rights, direct democracy (including e-democracy) or alternatively participation in government, reform of copyright and patent laws to make them more flexible and open to encourage innovation and creativity, use...

They absolutely have to cover everything. The idea of voting a politician into office knowing they aren’t competent in all aspects of their job is wild to me.

Am I going to vote for an MP that has no knowledge of policies on healthcare, welfare, etc? Of course not, that would be deeply irresponsible.

It would bug me to no end that the trackpad is off centre haha

My man, I can barely afford to pay to heat my sick, elderly parents living room (yes just that room, the rest of the house stays cold, can’t afford it).

I’m not donating money to anyone at all and won’t for the foreseeable future. When I do, it’ll be to cancer research <3

But I believe FOSS is a noble cause and if I were wealthy I absolutely would.

We’re talking about our fucking habitat and ecosystem we need to survive.

Are we though? I see so much “The earth is gonna die!” and “Life is doomed!” everywhere, but as this guy correctly points out, the planet will be fine.

In fact, humans will endure too. It’s just our current civilisation that’s in danger, that’s all.

But people do like to hyperbolise all over the place haha, and people start to believe it. It’s important to make the distinction.

So say we all

Any way to add an "It's now safe to turn off your computer" message at the end of shutdown?

I want to do this for my raspberry pis since they don’t have an ACPI system in place. I think it would look really nice combined with XFCE and the chicago95 theme. So I would prefer it if it were showing it like the windows 95 shutdown screen, maybe using an image file? There’s a lot of information on the shutdown process on...

Once you’ve figured this out, tell me about it please! :-D

I was just thinking about how I miss this screen the other day haha

Home solar installations however remain just as expensive ):

This actual real life monster of a human being can feck off :-(

Yeah, I don’t get it. Just looks like shiny legs.

Without more context clues, I’ll never figure out what it’s supposed to be, alas.

It just looks like legs to me.

Is this a nightmare where I’m dreaming that I’m in a hellscape where healthcare isn’t free
