From what I hear, it’s left wing in the big cities, right wing everywhere else. And the electorates or whatever they call them are Gerrymandered so that the right wing areas have more voting power than the left wing. Basically the local government is doing everything they can to keep in power, shitty or not.

Don’t quote me though. I’m an Aussie and it’s only my probably biased opinion.

Conversely, failing to quick save us the bane of our existence.

God I swear the American Christians are fucking insane.

I’ve never heard such BS before. At least not from any church I know here in Australia.

It’s like the XP olive theme with the vista/7 style widgets sidebar - all you need is the RPM style CPU usage gauges.

Hey, that counts in my book!

It’s hypr-chan!

Honestly I would love to see a webcomic about hypr-chan, I wonder what the significance of all the Holo cat. And that bus looks super sci-fi, she must be riding the hypr-loop

I recognise that internet router on the right. That looks like the “smart router” Telstra gives their customers - we have one we used to use back when we had Telstra cable. It’s currently playing the duty of an Ethernet switch for dad’s office.

Yeah, it’s not really teaching kids not to use it, but it will be a great teacher for how to bypass internet blocks. Young people already lie about their age on platforms, I mean I did that when I was younger.

It’s only a few steps further to change DNS or VPN to an area that allows underage and doesn’t require strict age verification.

We really need to get these guys out of the office. Why are we caring about impeaching presidents, we need to keep a close eye, catch them doing illegal shit and impeach the supreme court justices. Obviously hold off until the US has a president that can appoint good, fair judges - I don’t believe Trump is capable of that, and Biden is at best borderline capable.

Huh, I didn’t know that. Well that’s fucked.

I guess it makes some sense though - you’d want some form of backing if you’re going against the establishment, so why not the enemy of the one you’re going against?

I already thought that none of them really deserved the prize, but I guess I probably shouldn’t have been ranking them.

Wat.

The only one who even remotely deserves the peace prize is Assange.

The rest have all been sowing more division among lines than bringing people together. At least Wikileaks was invented to inform the public about shady shit going on in government.

That said it’s not necessarily been a good thing as wars can easily happen directly as a result of leaked documents. Every government has secrets. And sometimes rooting out corruption can be pretty damned violent.

However Assange never meant to sow discord, only to inform people of problems and issues that were kept under wraps - the people deserved to know this information, even if it resulted in violent rioting.

The original post appears to have disappeared, but heres a post that was crosposted to !fediverselore@lemmy.ca

(Not sure how to translate post permalinks to the instance agnostic form, and the cross post shows more detail of the original post on the web interface)

I finally switched to AMD on my main desktop. Holy crap does it just work. I went straight for hyprland over my previous XFCE based desktop.

I enjoy tinkering so having some programs that just work and some that need a little push is great for me. Gaming is pretty easy these days - games that straight up don’t run I just don’t buy, and protonDB or even the proton issue tracker and wineDB for tips and tricks.

However with DEs I tend to set one up, and keep it how I set it up. I had XFCE for a total of 3 years with no changes. Hopefully I can do the same with Hyprland. I usually only try a new one when reinstalling Linux.

In a same but more drastic vein, you’d have to chop me up and shit In my corpse before I switch back to windows on my home PCs, it’s bad enough I have to use win10 at work imo (I ain’t installing win11 there untill I’m forced to)

I mean the main reason they do that is they have to take it seriously. If they decided to ignore anonymous tips, then how many actual situations would they fail to prevent and handle.

Swatting is just taking advantage of the fact that they have no choice but to take it seriously.

That being said, if it’s a place that gets swatted regularly or a place that’s likely to be swatted due to various reasons they should have precautions in place with people they can trust in order to double check before acting, or at least be prepared to go in with their guns still holstered.

Fork it on a different platform - GitLab or something like it - we really should diversify our code repos. Microsoft has too much power with GitHub

Nah the admins killed the instance before the Taliban could at best, kill it, at worse proxy it and gather information.

Seriously gaining control of a domain can allow you to do pretty nefarious things.

Did they at least ask before dismembering then?

“May we have your liver?”

“Might as well throw in the intestines, liver, brain and pancreas while you’re at it”

Android or some other Linux based os on iPhone hardware anyone?

Ah good it’s still open. Not the end of the world… or at least the end of America yet.
