I can only have an opinion when Fox News informs me of the new outrageous fad for this week.

Anyone? Anyone?

Hasn’t the Supreme Court already ruled on this when Colorado tried it? It was pretty clear then that he violated the 14th Amendment. So what’s the 22nd to them this time? The deed will be done.

The TikTok plan from China worked.

Reddit has been a an archive of some of the greatest collective minds of humanity. Besides the general algorithm up voting bots hogwash, there have been some really good subreddits with excellent information from learned professionals on topics. it I wish it was preserved rather than deleted. The AskHistorians is one of my favourite professional vetted and clean subreddits, lots of academic discussions there.

But all things have a Golden Era, and then it’s enshittified and fades away. As Lemmy will be one day too.

Yes but the “American Dream” was never that. It was always to get richer than everyone else and so I can just say fuck 'em to the plight of the rest. Or in alternative terms, it only concerns me when it actually directly affects me.

I believe the results of the last election and the ensuing “executive orders” actions are direct proof of that. Also it was proof of the large stupidity of the masses, something the Covid years exposed, but was directly proved in the election results. It was just a matter of time before a high level professional conman was so brazen about it.

If you know anything about the music industry and publishers today it a complete shit show. No I’m not talking about the artists out there, music will always evolve and art will always be expressed however. The industry is fucked and enshittified. Ticketmaster is a scam, concert prices are ridiculous and a scam, the market for artists is only about huge consolidated record publishers, everything is Spotify and subscription now. No the 90s were definitely peak if you’ve lived it and could access music on tapes and CDs and had a Discman. If you haven’t lived it you only have today’s experience and exposure to music. Content on Radio today is also shit. YouTube is the only a forum for independent artists with no chance of airwaves exposure.

1990s was the peak prosperity of US civilization. From best music to best promise of hope and wealth distribution. 9/11 attacks were the point of the beginning of the end really.

Goats.

I think Toyota and Honda… maybe somebody else was developing a Hydrogen cell car. I remember seeing James May on Top Gear talking about it and driving it. It was in California. It seemed really promising and very exciting at the time that’s why the memory imprinted on me a bit.

I can’t tell if you’re being a pedantic smart ass, or really don’t know that Windows allows a 4 digit PIN on their system rather than type in the full password each time. And Linux does not have such a similar feature to simply activate, like Windows Hello. I got tired of typing in the 16 letter and characters password every single time for every single thing after 2 weeks. It’s my personal PC on my desk at home, not an office. And I don’t know why I should spend money on an ergonomic trackball with special features that works in Windows, and then just throw it out because the manufacturer doesn’t support Linux. They don’t develop an app because hardly anybody uses Linux in their market. So that’s just me and my experience.

Like I said, Linux isn’t for common plebs like me and it isn’t easy to switch over when expected features that exist in Windows don’t exist in Linux. The people that keep saying to switch to Linux here on Lemmy don’t seem to understand that the majority of computer users are just like me.

I always imagined that portable future wizard (??nuclear??) power would be as simple as unscrewing a 5 gallon cannister from the back of a vehicle and exchanging it at the power/charging station for money. Like the small 20 lb LPG cooking gas tanks. I still think that electric cars are a phase of tech that cannot be sustainable in terms of money and environmental cost and waste for too long and that it is just transitional in our quest. Hydrogen power was always supposed to be the future in my mind.

Same. I have a Kensington trackball with a decent config and button mapping software in Windows that I will NOT give up. I tried Mint for a few weeks, but it just became too stupidly cumbersome to Google every single thing. Like I wanted to implement the Windows PIN thing for startup on my PC… Yeah no.

Linux has come a long way but it’s not ready for the commoners like me. And a free open source OS probably cannot be developed for the masses without some major funding with a dedicated team.

So back to Win 10, Enterprised with massgrave.

Facebook and unregulated social media. Up to now most governments in the world don’t even have a clue or idea that the internet is a very powerful tool that should actually be regulated because there are very evil people who will always act in bad faith to manipulate others for power and control. The Golden era of the internet is definitely over, I think 2016 was a defined shift that will be recorded by historians.

Yeah well got some news for you…the Dems ain’t gonna do shit. Just like the 4 years after Jan 6th 2021. And then when it’s time to make a proper choice they’ll just send their worst people for the polls to vote on. They are very much part of and very integral to this system right now. All this… All this is collectively AMERICA.

When you had hex with a bear last night but can’t remember.

Google “Musk ISS astronaut” and click on the News tab. The manchild billionaire already seeded the stupidity, it just spreads now.
