KDE these days is better at being Windows than Windows. Dunno how long it’s been since you’ve used it (or how much/little you tinkered with it)

Seems like you might be the one who needs to get out of the house…

The nobel prize comitte has since long abandoned Nobel’s will in this matter

How long? Wouldn’t this just kind of suggest that criteria is simply different at this point? Maybe complex electronic devices didn’t exist back then, so one can really only guess as to what he would think. Because he’s been dead for a very long time…

The prize is named after the dude, he doesn’t get to decide the rules of its award in perpetuity.

Sometimes I try to imagine what life could be like if people weren’t constantly doing everything they can to break and exploit our system…

Another symptom of extremely silo’d educations. As someone in a STEM field who took a couple years extra to graduate because they didn’t declare a major for two years, I see this shit constantly. Clearly, very intelligent people who have been once again let down by our education system, but this time at the University level.

To the point where I will probably get downvotes and angry replies about how learning that other stuff is useless. But I can tell you that it’s absolutely not. I’m an engineer, and “Logic and Language” is still, by far, the most important course I’ve ever taken…

The person is literally talking about their real life job… Maybe it’s a foreign concept to you, but I’m not sure you can get more “grass touch” than that, bud.

Just use mullvad. Pay for it with Monero if you’re super paranoid.

Private trackers are no more “secure” than public aside from the barriers to entry… However, it’s not like someone working for the MPAA couldn’t pass an interview or whatever it is they do these days…

I’d still use a VPN if I were still on private trackers.

That said, I use a VPN always, so… 🤷🏻

Who do you send the complaint to?

Unless kids have changed drastically in the past few decades, these books will be vandalized within days. We can only hope.

EndeavourOS was the first Linux distro I used when I switched a little over a year ago.

I have not tried any other because I have felt no need. And I’ve gotten so used to using pacman, and Arch repositories for maintaining everything, that I have no reason to try anything else

True, there’s no nuance to be seen here. Move along everyone.

but it would have been so fucking easy for Harris to tell AIPAC to fuck off.

And lose millions of votes, ultimately handing the presidency to Trump? Smart move.

yt-dlp is the gold standard. Not only for YouTube either. Check out the man page, the amount of shit it can do is insane.

As long as people don’t think the part about the visa was sarcasm, because that’s definitely real.

Well she did get a “genius visa” or whatever it’s called, so she’s obviously brilliant.

/s not needed hopefully.

Just to lay it all out, because I was thinking about this earlier… About how far we’ve fallen (even including Clinton’s BJ, and JFK’s dalliances) with regards to what we are collectively willing to accept as character traits in our leaders. These are people that are supposed to be role models for our kids. Literal, unrepentant racists. Literal, unrepentant rapists.

The former (and possibly future) First Lady is a mail order bride/sex worker that a rich, gross old man (the President, btw) basically bought for all intents and purposes, by providing the means for her to fraudulently come to, and stay in, the US… Why should we give a shit what she has to say (unless it’s on a witness stand)?

No judgement for the sex work specifically (though the Republican hypocrisy is on full display as always). Her trashiness is independent of her past sex work.

Never raw dog the net like that…

Well yeah… That’s America for you
