Just a reminder that Buck v Bell was never overturned. The government can forcibly sterilize people. Look it up. Shit is fucked up.

They develop software on Marshall Full-Stack amplifiers, rather than the smaller, less powerful Half-Stacks.

Hope that helps clear things up.

If I offended anyone, I apologize. But man… People like you make this shit look bad (I know this is old, I just saw it).

I respect people’s choices with respect to gender expression. What I don’t respect is people who use that shit as a cudgel to censor opinions they don’t like that are entirely unrelated to that subject.

That person had NO pronouns listed next to their name. I frankly don’t clock people’s usernames before commenting so had no idea what their username even was. That said, one could argue that the name Emily implies nothing about a person’s preferred pronouns. Unless you know them personally, or they complained personally about this, then YOU are the one assuming gender and pronouns. Fuck dude, why am I even assuming that the person’s username is their real name? Oh no, I just said “dude” are you going to ban me?

Two people who have never seen/heard/spoken to one another discussing something on the internet, and one is supposed to, what, intuit the other’s preferred pronouns? What if Emily did not identify as a woman, and you just corrected me? It’s almost as if “cool man” isn’t gender specific anymore, and you know that.

Wish this woman could be our president.

it took an infernally long time to open the store, search for an app, and then install that app.

After about a year of Linux and using package managers/AUR to install and update software, it blows my mind to think that I would ever choose to do it a different way.

I don’t know how I put up with that shit for so many years.

Goddamn can this man be any more GOATed?

I hope this doesn’t awaken anything in me…

Ooooohhh can’t wait to see the idiotic conspiracy theories about this…

Also, just more shit for crystal mommies with no scientific literacy to use to try to explain “energy” to me.

I will add that, after getting my first Pixel as my previous phone, I’ve found the Google vanilla Android experience is better than Android on other carriers that fill the phone with bloat that you can’t get rid of without rooting.

American isn’t turning anywhere if people don’t vote down ballot too. Regardless of what the Supreme Court said, the President is not royalty.

All you need is the ability to write at a high school level, and as long as you’re confirming their biases, you can convince these people of literally anything.

A group of hundreds spent weeks (months?) hanging around Dealey Plaza because they were certain that JFK was going to appear and, I dunno, rescue them from communism or whatever.

Nobody is going to SIM swap you unless you have a shitload of crypto and let everyone know about it. It’s not an easy attack, so it would have to be targeted. Pretty easy to not be a target (not having millions of dollars of crypto on a wallet helps).

Dude, same. I cannot understand it (for games. I’m sure people have valid reasons if they’re using the Deck for some other purpose). It seems there is a cohort of otherwise relatively tech savvy people who are just terrified of all things “Linux.”

Maybe they heard horror stories from friends or family while growing up and aren’t aware of just how close to complete compatibility Proton is. In fact, in some cases, it can somehow run games better than if one were to dual boot and install in Windows.

Even Valve’s own Steam Deck verification should be taken with a grain of salt, it seems as though they’re being extra conservative with those. I’ve gotten several "unsupported " games working (very easily), for example , Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition is listed on Steam as “unsupported,” but it works great (with DSFix even) on my Deck.

ProtonDB is a far better resource for anyone reading this who hadn’t heard of it.

But yeah, it’s almost like this subconscious aversion to Linux. And they want to be in their comfort zone I guess.

Not to mention, if you actually read the Bible (particularly the Old Testament), if you need to choose a “good guy” and a “bad guy,” it is very clear which would be which…

Yahweh was a jealous, petty, genocidal maniac.

Lucifer only told Eve she could actually eat fruit from a tree that god said she couldn’t (it being the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil isn’t relevant here im sure. No reason why this specific god would want to prevent his creation from discerning good from evil right??).

Without him, if you are to believe the Bible (which you absolutely 100% should not), we would literally not have the knowledge of the difference between good and evil.

And somehow that’s a bad thing? Ignorance is bliss?

It’s really not.

And you do realize that you just demonstrated my point, right?

I feel like everyone is talking about this as if it was a PR thing, but I imagine these guys (and their families) started getting death threats immediately after. They could be getting specific threats about violence at their upcoming concerts. Now isn’t really the time to not take that kind of shit seriously unfortunately. Yes, it’s right-wing terrorism. Yes, it works. Unfortunately.

I see this as being more about self-preservation, and the safety of their families (and fans), than about PR. But maybe I’m wrong.
