I appreciate where you’re coming from. I said it the way I did because for some, at least from my observation, there is a sick sadism to it rather than fear alone.
Academic definitions would agree with you and it does hold true for the general populace; however I wanted to add the caveat so as not to mistakenly give the impression that fascists should be pitied, in any capacity.
Sunshine is also pretty active and good with recommending/promoting the fediverse and comms
The individual episodes are like, 10 minutes apiece. Take it in tiny chunks!
I feel like we need a Windows-98-VHS style Peertube video to accompany signups now.
One can only hope they’ll have the mind/willingness to.
It’s been said better by other people but the general understanding of the right’s use of “DEI” is as a convenient blanket slur.
It’s typically used against Black and Hispanic people the most, followed by trans people, but any/all women are convenient extra padding under the bus tires of their bigotry and insecurity.
Remember that their fascism is based in feelings of superiority in addition to fear. Use that against the cowardly bastards. They can’t stand to see someone “undeserving” do as well as or better than them, so they try to mow it down.
Fuck ‘em.
EDIT: It seems like Rose Ferreira is of Hispanic descent, hailing initially from the Dominican Republic then moved to NY and eventually secured an internship at NASA, and is now an astronomer and aerospace engineer. It seems like her NASA page got reinstated, maybe after backlash. She’s awesome. Hell yeah for the Streisand effect.
If you’re a “well acktchually” type of nerd who adores exceedingly granular control over things like choosing from twelve different versions of a driver via a command text box, then Arch is for you.
I say this as a user of an Arch-based OS; EndeavourOS is probably the closest to user-friendly as Arch gets but it still requires some nitty-gritty. Don’t worry too much about which choices you pick during installation though since it doesn’t really matter as much as it pretends to.
KDE Plasma is a desktop style close to that of windows that Arch usually defaults to, where Ubuntu’s typical desktop style is closer to Mac.
That said, once you get past the pain in the ass hurdle of figuring out your big basics in the command line, installing packages (programs/apps) is pretty easy. You can also use something called Flatpak which is like an App Store and usually easier for installing stuff.
This started out as a joke but turned into an essay. Thanks for bearing with me.
Yeah I can hear the slurs from here.
This gives ADHD comm vibes. Approve
I’ll never understand people who knowingly come to a currently bare-bones community (said with love!) and then complain that it’s bare-bones, and not bother to engage and help it grow.
Like no shit it’s nowhere near as huge as Reddit. Guess how content and engagement happen? By posting content and engaging! Ugh. /rant
Like a funky fabric birth.
So tight it resembles a sphincter.
That’s also a fair point. The other side was always listicles and quizzes and celebrity gossip which is never high quality. Now it’s just the slop + AI.
Regurgitated articles from 4 years ago still pop up on my Apple News app (I only use the free stuff though). They can’t even make new content.
Oh god I’m so sorry. I haven’t willingly touched my Win11 boot in probably close to a year so I didn’t realize things were that bad.
Yeah I was gonna say rare Worcester W
Also the next joke was “unfortunately they have to live in Worcester” but considering where they’re leaving from it’s harder to make that land.
Tbf it was half decent when they still had Buzzfeed News, which was actual journalism. They shut that down in 2023 though.
How Buzzfeed of him.
Yeah I don’t trust this.
Umm Satan’s asscrack backwards is “stob kcuf.”
You’re welcome OOP
I totally forgot about explorer just s****ing the bed randomly in 7 lmao.
XP was bloated to hell and back, and yeah 10 was okay overall but the “kiddie gloves” hostility towards users sucked, especially hiding away control panel and trying to get rid of it altogether in 11 is what pushed me to Linux.
