Good riddance. I’m so tired of FOSS projects using that platform as their main communication channel because it’s completely disconnected from the Web.

They’re up today, unless I’m missing something. Is there another Nvidia besides $NVDA?

Sounds like a shitty bank.

Fabianism

I don’t think there’s much of a point unless person A actually wants to make a change in their habits. It’s like trying to convince someone to switch to Linux.

I really, REALLY wish the Affinity suite would work on Linux. They are the only ones even remotely comparable to Adobe.

I don’t know about fitgirl specifically, I don’t actually pirate a lot of games.

How is it possible that it draws 100W at idle? What is it even doing?

Oh nice, I’ll give this a shot! I tried installing the EA app through Lutris — it worked, but I can’t install any games.

I use CachyOS on my gaming rig and it has been outstanding. The only ting that doesn’t work is the EA app.

I like NMS but it’s just about the opposite of the polished writing that the first 2.75 Mass Effect games delivered.

JFC, this is terrifying:

The view of young people and TikTok users is particularly frightening at fundamental scientific findings.

For example, only 71 percent of those under 29 years old agree that vaccines have helped save millions of lives. Among TikTok users, the approval is even lower with 69 percent. More than 20 percent of young people, and around a quarter of all TikTok users, even openly doubt this decades-long insight.

Young people and the population as a whole seem to be shockingly agreed on the issue of climate change alone: only 64 percent of respondents and 67 percent of young people agree that climate change is caused by human activities. Among TikTok users, it is only a little more than half.

And the corona pandemic also remains a source of conspiracy theories. A quarter of the total population agrees with the statement that the pandemic was deliberately created by governments or elites in order to be able to control the population more. This dangerous narrative seems to be particularly widespread on TikTok: there, almost 44 percent of users agree with it.

I don’t owe you anything, and your sophistry is embarrassing. Why would Trump refer to his people’s blood being poisoned by immigrants if he didn’t consider immigrants inherently inferior? Do you consider labeling other ethnicities as being poisonous to be a neutral statement?

Give me a fucking break. This is from the preamble to the Nuremberg Laws:

purity of German blood is the essential condition for the continued existence of the German people

And Trump:

They let — I think the real number is 15, 16 million people into our country. When they do that, we got a lot of work to do. They’re poisoning the blood of our country. […] They’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia, all over the world.”

As far as I can tell Trump can only be deemed a Nazi by association - he’s not been going around spouting stuff about people’s races making them superior or inferior to others like an ethno-Fascist

He also said Democrats are corrupt and that the GOP is the party that represents the little guy. At worst, he’s MAGA. At best, he’s a credulous buffoon who shouldn’t be running a company that vulnerable people use to protect themselves.

It feels like it would be a bit like IBM working with Hitler and saying “well he’s right on this one specific policy issue.”

“As the owner of an asphalt company, I think this new Reichskanzler’s autobahn-building initiative is fantastic!”

I use Filen, and unlike Proton they have a Linux app.

Meloni certainly has a whiff of fascism to her but in a chaotic, haphazard way — sort of a Muskian case-by-case fascism rather than anything coherent.

I know this was a throwaway comment:

a country that still hasn’t managed to shed all the fascism it obtained during the World War II years.

But it shows the author doesn’t know much about Italy, and may be surprised to learn they nearly elected a communist government in the 70s.
