My first distro was Debian, probably back around 2008. I used that and Ubuntu for years without having even looked at a desktop environment. For me, Linux was a server OS and I had to teach myself how to use it to spin up Teamspeak/Mumble, webservers, VPNs, etc.
I first started using Linux as a desktop OS in 2016. Tried SUSE and Fedora, but really liked Manjaro and eventually gravitated to Arch. I tried out NixOS a year or so ago and liked it, but I still go back to Arch with KDE Plasma.
Google and every other tech company say they keep their algorithms secret for commercial purposes, but that’s a bit convenient isn’t it? I certainly don’t trust any capitalist to be responsible with that much unchecked power.
From around 2022 until just recently YouTube Shorts was heavily pushing Tate on me (an almost 50 year old man).
No matter how many times I disliked and/or blocked the poster, the YouTube algorithm just kept throwing more Tate at me. I don’t know what I did to make YouTube think I’d be interested in that clown.
On the plus side, it made me a lot more aware of what’s going on, hence my efforts to get Google out of my life. I can spot someone trying to manipulate me, but I have young sons who might not.
I’ve been using KeePassDX for years.
If I were in the 0.1% I’d be able to build my own small but highly skilled militia by giving a job to all of the so-called “DEI hires” Trump is getting rid of.
Would have been a lot more memorable if he just repeated “these are not normal times” for 25 hours straight. 😂
I was just about to cough up for a Banana Pi R4, but I might wait for this now.
Seth Meyers’ jokes at Trump’s expense during the 2011 White House Correspondents dinner have been identified by those close to Trump as the moment he decided to seriously run for President.
Seth Meyers made this problem, it’s up to him to fix it. Bonus points if he gets Trump to quit using only jokes.
This! If Trump leaves office in anything but shame and universal disapprobation, a new Trump with a different name but the same tactics will emerge. Americans need to learn the lesson for this madness to end.
This is the “fuck around” portion. I fear for ordinary Americans when the “find out” part comes.
It is the 41st Millennium.
For more than a hundred centuries Donald Trump, the Emperor of America, has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Washington. He is the master of the US by the will of the nutjobs and master of a million tariffs by the might of his moronic followers. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Generative AI. He is the MAGA Lord of the vast Imperium of America for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day so that he may never truly die.
Yet even in his deathless state, everything is still Joe Biden’s fault.
🎵Journalist caught me on Signal (It wasn’t me)
He saw me schemin’ on Yemen (It wasn’t me)
Even list of ordinance (It wasn’t me)
He even caught me on a screenshot (It wasn’t me)
He saw the bombs dropping on Sanaa (It wasn’t me)
Heard the words the CIA told me (It wasn’t me)
Late night host laughter getting louder (It wasn’t me)
Shouldn’t have drunk that vodka!🎶
This is pretty much a real life remake of the Good Shepherd (2016), but stupider.
