The “vote democrat to save democracy, you must vote one party, … for democracy” seems like Orwellian doublespeak at this point, because if you look at the numbers, democracy is about to be heavily eroded over time by the democrats. I’m not even registered to vote, but it’s obvious to see the tactics being pushed and enacted.

Hamas’s entire goal is to kill all Jews, and take Israel back for themselves (“river to the sea”).

What do people think is going to happen if Israel just stops? Another Oct. 7th. At what point do people need to address this fact?

EDIT: Some of y’all should read a Qur’an sometime.

Seems more “anti-authoritarian-communism” than anything.

So that’s why I have these buying habits. I usually buy extra of things, because I know I’ll run out and need it at the last minute when I really need something. The medication only goes so far, doesn’t fully cure it.

What if your nature is in constant problem solving mode, my life and work revolve around solving problems so it’s a natural neurological pathway. Should someone like that work overtime to suppress how they think about a situation, and stay quiet until they formulate some method of discussion and acknowledgement of the problem, without offering solutions?

I really hope China doesn’t legitimately try to take Taiwan someday. Would be a terrible day for Earth.

Serious question: I’ve been using Krita to mess around with the tablet, but are there any good reasons to learn GIMP coming from a photoshop background all these years, given that I also know Krita somewhat?

I’ve done a lot of bluetooth work and know how terrible it is as a protocol, but do you see any issues with only using it for a speaker/earphone, assuming no other devices even within a valid proximity of the transceiver? If nothing can hijack or manipulate or listen to the session, is it that insecure? I disable it and use wired earbuds when I’m mobile for that reason.

100% true facts. I am basically permanently open source OS and firefox now. (Shoutouts to EndeavorOS, going to wipe this PC clean of ubuntu next.)

Oh my God the more I use it the more amazing it is already. The customization in the Plasma appearance settings is exactly what I’ve missed this whole time. I feel like I’ve wasted all these years now. Better late than never I s’pose.
