I thought this was the university and REALLY thought tRump was going full fascist!

I had my first fuck up with openSUSE+Gnome a couple of weeks ago when impatient me killed my laptop in the middle of like 1600-updates. BRTFS was the only reason I didn’t rip my hair out and the primary reason I will be switching my daily driver gaming rig to Linux, finally! That FS is the tits!

The first rule of gen-x is you don’t talk about gen-x!

Switched to LibreWolf after seeing the message about Fakespot. It was a heavily used browser add-on I used almost religiously since 2020. Mozilla acquired them in 2023 and then did nothing with it, letting it die. I’m so tired of this bullshit.

Same. Soon as the headlines had two fatal air collisions in like the same week, I was good to drive or not travel at all. Then the harassment of people by federal enforcement further solidified that decision.

Omg, I think of this a lot when thinking back at the Covid response in early 2020. I really believe that these people never mentally developed past that of a toddler. They have no object permanence, no self-control, and no emotional regulation. They aren’t satisfied with some of a thing, they need ALL of that thing.

We are being driven off a cliff by the dumbest, most immature humans to exist in the modern world.

When all the joy in life is gone, I’ll take any joke that eeks just a little bit of dopamine out of my brain.

The screen with my Lenovo Yoga 720 (I think) is a convertible touch screen. The brightness never stays consistent in Mint. It constantly changes brightness no matter what I’m doing with it. However, I’m not sure it worked right, even with Windows 10. Still a decent machine.

Was he not wearing socks?

You forget the last time ATCs tried to stand up for themselves, Regan fired the entire industry…

Yeah but Reagan is dead this time!

My faith that things could be better was snuffed out during COVID. I watched the true empathy gap between myself and those who couldn’t be bothered to do the bare minimum without whining like a 5-year-old throwing a tantrum. What optimism I had for a better life for my child vanished in 2020. I’m a shell of the person I used to be.

I don’t know what the future holds, but if it gets much worse, I don’t know how I’ll survive.

This person gets it!

Does that mean we civilians should just execute shoplifters in the streets without trial or due process?

That’s not what I said, though, and I’m pretty sure that’s some kind of logical fallacy being used. I’m talking about tRump, not all people. That’s why I said what I said. Think of it as tit-for-tat or an eye-for-an-eye. Where if he doesn’t think people should get due process, then neither should he.

Also, that’s pretty extreme considering what I said.

Ok, so hear me out, if he doesn’t care about the rule of law, why should we?

Doubt Tesla will fail in the next two minutes, so sure.

Nah, that’s what we call the tool of resistance AFTER the peaceful action gets escalated to violence. Maybe H.A.M. (is that an acronym?) radio operators could help setup a system to facilitate the use the communication and education for setup. Keep in mind that the FCC has control of radio bands and frequency in the US.

Not sure what a you would call the equipment of the communication system.

Unless the org gets abolished. Their goal is the complete removal of agencies that help the people stay safe. They’ll remove healthcare last to keep their base placated as long as possible. Their goal appears aimed intentionally at hurting civilians to kill as many freeloaders as they can.

Fascism is just ultra capitalism in a trenchcoat wielding a flamethrower!

Thank you! I was saying this back in 2022 when we had “record inflation” but also “record profits.” That became too obvious to consumers so we had shrinkflation instead. But still the record profits.

Corps knew the average voter is dumb and used those prices to tank Harris’ campaign all because she had the gall to suggest a wealth tax, something they had snuffed out Biden’s chances with. Even if the president has no control over prices, people believe they do. It was over for this country the moment we got the Citizen United ruling. Things were being setup to make it easier to get, but that ruling allowed unmitigated greed to influence politics. Been a growing pool of unfathomable wealth and the leverage of that wealth since.
