10 years ago I wouldn’t have imagined this, but this is me every time I have to use Windows (e.g., occasionally for work) or help someone else with it.

If I believed in a god I’d ask them to save me from the baby communists who see a sickle and hammer on a flag and insist they must have represented utopia.

First, I dig this meme. I’ll probably share it elsewhere.

Second… “POV” just means “hey look at this,” now?

Remember, kids: Don’t do genocide, or else after only two years of murdering people wholesale the UN might say something about it and let you keep murdering.

So this is saying Palestine originated with Nazis and Soviet-style communists. I guess some people just missed all that critical thinking we keep trying to put in the education.

Not in my experience. Liberals criticize their parties and communities constantly, at least in the circles I know. The criticism is most often about treatment if others in ways that don’t affect the person themself. Sometimes it even seems like status seeking and gets obnoxious. But I’ll take a movement where status can be had by advocating for others over over where it comes from selfishness.

They have access to it if they threaten/indimidate/blackmail you into giving them access. Dummy phones are a real thing; saw a post today on masto by a company… person (?) who said they keep a stash of clean burner phones for when employees travel through US borders. These are all reasonable, and maybe even CalyxOS’s decoy partition (does it still have that?). The larger problem is that few people will use these things, not even bringing a clean phone. And once they start threatening your family and your long-term safety and freedom, it’s highly likely you’ll give them access, if they know there is any access to be had. Which they increasingly do, because universal surveillance blah blah.

This is the best thing I have seen all week

Ohy god it took me a full minute to realize that I wasn’t looking at three stylized vaginas.

To be fair, I have seen several neolithic Venus figurines lately.

This comment right here is going to make somebody $50. From me.

1080p less than content?

Even Muad’Dib started out small.

Of course you’re an engineer. I could tell you didn’t have to take gen ed courses from the punctuation mistake.

No, Yemen declared war on Israel. It’s war, so it’s cool.

Professor here: do this all you want. It’s not a page requirement, it’s a word requirement. And it’s a maximum, not a minimum. You have some tasks to accomplish in 1,000 words or less. Anything more than 1,000 words gets deleted or (if in hardcopy) crossed out/torn off and thrown away. I grade what’s left.

Works in XFCE, too (well, Thunar/XFCE, anyway)

You win the “most mind-numbingly predictable reply all day” award. Congrats.

Yeah, people who grew up with boomers as parents, teachers, bosses, weird aunts, etc. Find the ultra- reductiveness to be very silly. The labeling of the entire post war generation as incompetent neocons has never fit well except in the minds of people whose only knowledge of history comes from tiktok. Where do they think their anti- establishment ideas came from? Do they think the hippies and civil rights activists were millennials or something?

Technical question: how did Israel cut Gaza off from cell networks? Is there some kind of jamming technology, did they literally destroy/disable all cell towers serving Gaza, or did they get Verizon or whoever to stop providing service? Or something else?

Thanks for checking. I’m sad to be right about this.
