That’s what all the crazy ones say.

The day after: “Republicans break pinky swear – “No one could have seen this coming” says Fetterman; Democrats sigh, throw up their hands, and collectively go ‘whaddayagonnadoaboutit?’; Schumer writes strongly worded letter.”

Oompa Loompa told the nation
have no fear of escalation,
I am trying everyone to please

Though it isn’t really war
We’re sending 3,000 more
To help save Trump from Epstein

Whatever this person is smoking, snorting, swallowing, injecting, and/or boofing, I want some. I’m already self-medicating with as much pot as I can afford to get through this assclown fuckery we call an administration; I want/need stronger drugs that enable this kind of magical thinking and optimism.

seems more likely, being it’s 4chan; that they’re 100% aware and in-favor of the slaves, just that they believe they’ll always be in that lucky 10%. Same goes for idolizing Super Earth – it’s never them that’ll be sent to a freedom camp, until it happens, it’s always something that happens to someone else who “probably deserved it”

“amazing quality of life”

Sure, if you’re the right kind of super citizen.

see my other comment, the framework includes “MPP 2.0 and USI 2.0 stylus support”, so it should be able to use other pens it if the one they sell isn’t to your liking.

The Framework 12 lists “MPP 2.0 and USI 2.0 stylus support”, so you can use other pens with it, I think. Your stylus won’t be repairable, but perhaps if you complain at Framework loudly enough they might eventually release a higher quality stylus themselves.

If it’s a limitation of the machine’s hardware/the protocol they support, complain at them for that instead. I’m not an artist so I don’t actually find myself needing/using a pen often, thus I don’t know whether that means it has good or bad pen support, but it certainly sounds like it supports SPs.

The Framework 12 actually seems really ideal for this, being that it has a 360 degree hinge and works properly with Linux.

It’s also expensive as fuck, but then, you can repair and upgrade it, and I’ve heard Surface tablets are an absolutely miserable experience to try repairing. So up to you if the upfront cost is worth less pain down the road.

it continues to amaze me that we can cure diseases, go to the moon, reflect on all of human history, and still the “best” we can collectively achieve in societal progress is elevating a select few while crushing the majority underfoot. The means of repression differs from feudalism to capitalism to communism, but the underlying failure remains constant: someone benefits, most do not.

I honestly don’t remember, a cursory search told me $70 but regardless of which it wasn’t worth it then and it’s barely worth $15 now, from what I know of the game. Tons of different games (No Man’s Sky, Outer Worlds 1 & 2, Elite: Dangerous to name a few) do different parts of Starfield 100x better than Starfield does it, often for less money. I can have a far more enjoyable time playing a mixture of those games than by playing a half-baked Bethesda attempt that does all of it – from the roleplaying to the space exploration to combat in space – badly.

if by that you mean people were not ready to pay $70 for a giant steaming pile of shit, then yes, they were “not ready for it.”

I am so goddamn tired of having to vote for the least awful choice instead of even a decent choice. Compared to the literal snake oil sales king of TV, almost anyone else looks good – but we can see how that’s worked out.

every now and again, I fantasize about living in the far north of Canada with fiber internet and a warm cabin miles away from the nearest living soul.

Then I remember reality, where I am poor, gay, disabled, American, and probably going to die here either to an Iranian-linked terror attack or my own increasingly christofascist government.

I don’t necessarily hate everybody, but I don’t go out of my way to interact with others that much already and over the past couple years I’ve felt far less inclined to, both online and in real life. Nowadays I mostly just interact with pets, family, and the people I have to interact with to earn money. Lemmy’s a nice, impersonal social outlet. People in person aren’t necessarily more trustworthy, the veneer of civility is just thicker.

That’s an insult to President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho, and you will speak of that fictional moron with respect. He was still a leader that wanted the best for his countrymen, and knew well enough to defer to the smartest man in the room. That’s about as far from Trump as you can get in terms of “vibes”.

I choose to blame the stroke.

Actual, factual brain damage is no joke, and there was a reason he won the election he was in. He was genuinely not insane/traitorous before his stroke.

The more cynical option is that he was always like this and merely wanted to screw over the leftists of Pennsylvania by running under a D ticket, but frankly I think brain damage from stroke leading to sudden onset fascist sympathies is both more likely (brain damage can have really fucking weird effects) and way funnier in a certain context

I don’t know either, but I’d say my original point stands. “nothing” is still shorter than saying “everything”

I think it’d take less time to write down the things that aren’t.

Sure, but you said intolerance for any non-Linux OS, and that’s just simply not true as there are several non-Linux OS’s we love. If you were to say Lemmy is intolerant specifically of Windows, that would be more accurate, but I’m also aware of at least one subset of die-hard Windows aficionados on Lemmy who vehemently hate Linux. Definitely a minority, but they’re there.

Also, the db0 instance is pro-AI as I recall, so anyone who’s keen on that sort of thing is (to my knowledge) welcome there.

On the contrary, I believe everyone here holds a special place in their heart for TempleOS, even if it’s not a practical choice. Also most everyone here has mad respect for anyone rocking some other niche nerd shit like FreeBSD or ReactOS etc. (I do, anyways)

Mostly it’s just that Windows has sucked for at least a decade and macOS is just starting on its suck arc.
