Trump is the disposable face of something much darker. He is a tool.

Yessss…show us you fear…we feed on it.

We will just have sketchy apps we download happily that trick the phone into thinking we are looking, further bloating them.

Maybe Jon can tucker carlson elon.

Hahaha, that is really funny. People in red states dieing because of a disease we wiped out almost entirely. I really gotta open a “child coffin” plant in Texas.

Got it in 1

The world may never figure this out.

Bend the knee

“unexpected”

I wasn’t calling you out or anything, but yeah, culture changes, what people are used to changes. Also, people have always moved to the path of least resistance through history…hell we don’t use metric in the US because the easier metric system was too hard for boomers and change is frightening.

That is a disconnect the Linux community has. A complete lack of understanding of how little everyday, well known, base terminology is understood by newbies asking questions. They want to help, but are very bad at it until the asked has a certain level of understanding, and people don’t want to make it over that hump without help. It has always been a roadblock into onboarding more Linux users, and a wall many bounce off of.

Yeah, this one gets me, but you are exactly right with “years of experience”. Something goes wrong on my GFs MacBook or Windows PC and she just googles fixes, something goes wrong on her Steamdeck and she hands it to me “I don’t know how to get around the desktop mode”…GOOGLE IT, LEARN, YOU ARENT STUPID! sigh

It’s simpler that all that. Turn on new computer, open browser, install steam, install games, play games. Anything more complex than that makes it unusable. People have zero time to deal with even a slight hiccup. It is annoying to watch as people are getting into steamOS on Steamdeck and every little thing is the end of the world. I have seen “oh, to get that one to run smooth you gotta set the FPS locked to 30” met with “nah, I ain’t got time for all that, I’ll play it on the Xbox”.

I don’t know what the fix is, outside cloning windows GUI and making an ultra safe and familiar entry Linux (the replies will be various lists of “just use x,y,z” and “get this one and technobabble the dilithium crystals into the frondulator” and that just pushes people away instantly…there has to be a tiktok-dumb entry level OS before any real migration happens.

I would never claim involved conservatives are capable of learning.

Do not underestimate how little the VERY VAST majority of people know about government or politics. I recently explained blue/red, left/right, lib/con, progressive/regressive are all related and blew someone’s mind. Then they asked “which ones are the bad ones” and I said “that is subjective and it depends on your views”. After very little explanation, they were socially liberal but fairly conservative fiscally (keep in mind, this was a disconnected completely normal person just going from day to day). It is hard to imagine, with the news and all, people not knowing the basics, but that really is the default. They often only know what they have been told growing up and nothing else.

With violent criminals running the government, yeah, I kinda do. You can’t trust police body cams to work when they come knocking. Also useful for package thieves and people that deface your anti-nazi sign.

NGL, I am for a future where we survived this and calling someone trump is the modern equal or replacement for Hitler. We already are echoing Rome.

Ok, I don’t support these clowns, and I hate that this is the way the public is finding out, but isn’t it nice that people are starting to truly see how incapable, incompetent, and corrupt our elected leaders have always been?

I gotta dust that boxed set off and watch it again.

Hire contractors? They can just ask, I’ll even link them the bad things I’ve said.

I love my Jeep, but I couldn’t imagine why anyone would buy a modern one.
