Yeah waiting it out and seeing them realize the error of their ways through slow social isolation has definitely happened and there definitely aren't any ramifications to letting themselves simply spew their hate speech out into the world.

Nothing bad ever happened to us when we stayed out of the mud, except for, you know, fucking everything, you asshat.

The next time someone you love is murdered and/or harassed because the murderer/harasser was inspired by a Charlie Kirk wannabe, remember to be the "bigger person" and don't stoop to their level. 🖕🏽

Just replace "it" in the first speech bubble with "your partner" and the humor kind of sort of makes sense.

Even though this shit was apparent from day fucking 1, at least the Tech Billionaires were able to cause mass layoffs, destroy an entire generation of new programmers' careers, introduce an endless amount of tech debt and security vulnerabilities, all while grifting investors/businesses and making billions off of all of it.

Sad excuses for sacks of shit, all of them.

I love the Cyberpunk 2077 universe. Ive played the TTRPG, the Game from CD Project Red, and loved the anime. But no way in hell would I want to actually live in Night City...

Cyberpunk 2077, the video game, is a great story partially because Night City is practically more a character than a setting. It consumes and shits out all who are bold or stupid enough to think they can make it there.

The person romanticizing their world has somehow missed every theme of the story. Immortality is only achievable by sacrificing every last bit of your humanity through either replacing every part of your body with chrome (Smasher), or through horrific body snatching tech (Soulkiller).

Illness does exist in Cyberpunk, many characters through the story refer to their sick relatives. V themself is portrayed as being sick after installing Soulkiller after the Arasaka heist with Jackie. Indeed, Soulkiller is portrayed like a high tech, fast acting cancer.

The world in Cyberpunk reflects a kind of criticism of capitalism in showing us how excessive the divides in economic and power dynamics can become if capitalism is left to rule unchecked by governmental power (i have not yet played phantom liberty, which I assume addresses in part the corrupted and futile attempts to restore governmental agency in a world that long has handed off the reigns to unfettered capitalists).

The characters generally live in squalor. Vs initial apartment is little more than a glorified closet in a bleak concrete monolith. Quality Health care is only available to those that can afford an ultra Premium plan, executed by a Military Style Medical Corporation. Otherwise, you're lucky if your loved ones' ashes are dispensed via a Vending Machine, as seen in the anime Edgerunners.

Again, love the game, love the anime and TTRPG. NEVER in a million years would I want to live in that universe... unless maybe it was a choice between there and literal Hell, cuz at that point the line of difference befween them starts to blur...and they end up looking the same.

Rittenhouse has a hero complex, and can't accept he's nothing more than a deranged little shithead everyone knows is just a murderer that got away with it.

No one likes him, not even the right. The right used him when he was useful and then threw him away. How sad and pathetic that those were his "best" days, and they are behind him.

He'll now try to regain his "glory" days by reliving that time he murdered innocent people. And hopefully this time he's put away for life.

Look, the people over at Wayland made a solid protocol, sure. But for all the time and effort they've put into getting it to the state it's in today, it's going to take a long while for all the apps, DEs, and TWMs to be ready. It took so long for the Linux desktop to get to the state it is on X11, which, for all it's flaws, seems to be easier to develop for than Wayland.

Wacom Drivers, Nvidia Drivers, DE-Agnostic screensharing, screenshot, eyedropper tools are all in various states of not working/sort of working/working on wayland. This simply isn't the case with X11. They all just work. That's kind of a big win for X11 over Wayland.

It doesn't matter how light weight and more secure your protocol is if you can't use the tools you need to get the jobs you need done, whatever those jobs are. That is literally what computers are for at the end of the day, not to lord our superiority over others because our choice of tools are somehow better.

Yes Wayland is the future, but to say "Wayland is ready" while also saying "many of the apps for Wayland are not ready" ends up meaning that wayland is NOT ready.

Until the transition between X and Wayland is seamless (no adjusting environment variables), saying we should all just move to Wayland cuz ”is the future" are engaging in the same FOMO tactics that crytpo and AI bros have been doing for years. Fuck that noise.

You are not somehow better because you use Wayland. And yeah yeah, shots fired, down votes incoming. Come at me tech daddy.

One of my earliest wake up calls was when a certain president didn't outright dismantle the Patriot Act, allowing illegal privacy invasion policies on American citizens to continue and have now made the life of ICE officers a lot easier.

I wonder who that president was...

I've got a better idea, just never look her in the eye.

"You will not replace us!" shouted the white supremacists after centuries of erasing a multitude of other cultures, histories, and societies.

Let the infinite forking on infinite platforms commence.

I've posted this elsewhere, but it bears repeating:

Just use ddg bangs if you use Duckduckgo and you can search reddit directly.

!reddit search term

or:

!r search term

It still picks up latest posts related to reddit, it just searches reddit directly instead of searching Bing's results. It's that simple.

You can even use a redirect extension like Libredirect in conjunction with this Duckduckgo feature to redirect your search to a privacy respecting frontend like redlib.

A rapist who is not only sickeningly still walking free, but is the frontrunner for the Nazi party.

I'd say that it's a new low for the Nazi party, but we all know it's not.

Oh man, Trump...I had this thing I wanted to give you...where did I put it...oh yeah...🖕

Yep. I was worried this was coming years ago, and here we are. The next generation of young men both here in the US and abroad will have a large proportion of fascists.

Fighting this ideology is more important than fighting Trump or any individual authoritarian on its own. Encourage empathy and community wherever you are, especially among young children. Strongly condemn fascism wherever you are able. And shame Nick Fuentes and his ilk relentlessly. Let them never sleep.

Anyways...

Dear Erika Kirk,

Your late husband was a scourge on the world and he died a death too clean for his own good. We'd say it's disgusting you're using your husband's death as a platform to spread more misinformation and hate, but we suppose it's fitting that his memory is besmirched by your fucking lunacy. We wish you all the worst save perhaps your late husband's fate you pathetic pathetic excuse for a human being.

Sincerely,

Most of The United States Population

Well fuck you and your co² farting anus, Brian Niccol!

FFS people! YES, YOU VOTED EXACTLY FOR THIS!!

Admit that this is what you voted for and just say you regret it, you were wrong, and then do whatever you can to salvage what little is left of your community.

Jesus Fucking Christ, I just can't with these fucking people, it's as if their intestines have started to excrete feces into their skulls.

She's been groomed.
