Company-wide email: “We’ve had our best year EVER and it’s all thanks to YOU”

Me: “Great. Can I have a raise?”

“OH. We can’t afford THAT.”

Banks are not willing to shoot themselves in the ass for Trump. They would fight to the end to hold onto that sweet transaction money.

Yup. If your employer uses the, “we’re all one big family” then you’re in for a real bad time.

Because sooner or later, they’re going to make you choose between their fake “family” and your real one.

Collect all your evidence into one large archive, upload it somewhere and make it known that if you die of anything other than natural causes, that information will become available to EVERYONE.

Read up on how “dead man’s switches” work. If you don’t send a signal online, log into a particular account on a regular basis, that sends the release signal.

Authoritarian regimes must control the flow of information if they want to continue to exist. Just because they can disconnect themselves from the rest of the world doesn’t mean they’ve "taken down the Internet. "

6.5 gigs. “Proceed with installation? y/n”

Yeah, I guess. Fark getting any work done today.

I agree. This is NOT a drive in theater. The screen is way too small and it should be rectangular, not square. Also, about half the cars are parked in ways where they can’t see the screen.

This is either a car storage area that had the screen shopped in or someone told an AI “make me a vintage photo of a 1950s drive in,” and the AI added the screen and the (badly parked) cars without understanding how a drive in is supposed to work.

That’s a tiny screen for a drive in theater.

Rich people have special access to the legislative machinery that you and I don’t. Through bribes “contributions” they can craft laws that let them avoid paying their fair share of the tax burden. They can also “modify” pending legislation to remove the penalties for breaking those laws. It must be nice to live in a consequence-free environment.

I like the SearX search engine. It gives old-school, relevant search results, not google ranked ones.

It’s also spread out over many separate instances, so you can pick the one that best suits your search needs:

AI writes stories / storyboards. Hollywood continues to make trash. Nobody buys it. Hollywood: “Wow. Why didn’t THAT work?”

It’s like watching someone hit themselves in the nuts with a mallet.

I’m showing it from a basic search. Are you using a fork of F-Droid?

Organic Maps is available on F-Droid.

I grew up watching WW2 movies and the Nazis were never shown as being anything other than Bad Guys. I would love to know how anyone grows up here in the U.S. and doesn’t know that.

Yup. We need to get away from Google, if we really want privacy. I’m glad I switched to a Linux desktop, but Google collects a crap load of info.

This. It feels to me like driving a stick shift when you’ve been using an automatic transmission for years. You have to do a little more fiddling but I honestly don’t mind learning a new OS that isn’t actively working against me.

With Windows . . . on the other hand . . . every time I’ve had to go “under the hood” (tweak Registry settings, Config files, etc) it’s been to prevent Microsoft from doing something crappy to me.

You might want to check out Libre Office. It’s document compatible with MS-Office and I think it comes pre-installed on Linux Mint.

I checked out Mod Organizer 2 recently, but it didn’t support Subnautica the last time I tried it. I only use mods for a few games, line Stardew Valley and the Fallout games.

Same here. If I could get Vortex Mod Manager to work under Wine/Proton, I wouldn’t use Windows at all.

It’s never too late to develop the valuable human skill of “empathy.”

Although most of us learn it at an early age.
