Maybe he just needed a nudge in the right direction, like a Supreme Court ruling that presidents were invulnerable.

That's an angle that more people should talk about, honestly.

The mistreatment of the American populace isn't just to keep a steady supply of cheap labor for the rich people's investments, it's to keep a steady supply of cheap lives for the government to do their dirty work.

My generation's dead and disabled veterans fell in service to that sweet Iraqi oil. Oh and the Saddam hidden underground meme, can't forget that one!

Yeah their website says "up to" 12 hours, but that IS only from the 10-minute charge. Full charge is supposed to be several times longer.

But, the Null Hypothesis generally IS that X does not exist until you receive evidence otherwise.

That's pretty much how we all work, we just have very different sources and standards when it comes to which evidence is taken seriously.

I had two different reactions to your comment simultaneously.

First, yeah the meme is political but you went hard on the American angle. But the image is of israel, it says israel in two places, it's joking about the pope which is not an american thing, and then it mentions the name of a dead american.

Second, I just don't think Lemmy has enough users and enough content to be picky and granular about categorizing all memes into the appropriate community. And that's before we even get into the realities of federation and how there could be multiple active "memes@*" communities.

If these are just little low-powered PCs where you can pop in a USB drive and install a real OS, I could see some uses for them. Hopefully we aren't entering the wonderful world of phone-like locked down firmware with these things.

But I already have old PCs that are great at, you know, running software on their actual hardware. So realistically I'll never consider one of these unless they do something awesome like subsidize the cost and sell them as normal little x86-64 PCs with some janky stripped down version of windows installed.

I think it's more of a way for those of is in the US to hang on to some shred of optimism. Surely somebody somewhere will continue to make nice things for normal people, right?

I've spent just a little bit of time in Europe, with most of it in Sweden. I have seen with my own eyes how civilized societies can have nice things in shared spaces!

I just wonder if this horrible shit was done to distract from the Epstein files or because of the leverage provided by the Epstein files.

I mean, if Epstein was a Mossad asset and therefore the president of the united states is a Mossad asset, they can really get some dirty work done with somebody else's bombs.

Yeah seriously, $Billions and $Trillions are too common in the media to have the impact they should have.

This one headline is discussing an investment of $110,000 MILLION Dollars. That's enough to let an entire football stadium (either US version or everybody else version) of people retire tomorrow.

40 years of 100,000 people working $15 an hour would just barely make that much. Before taxes. And unpaid sick time. Of course. Sorry to be US-centric but we seem to be leading the way in this whole Road To Dystopia thing.

Excellent! It's hard to believe how much easier the Linux experience can be than Windows. Take your PC and boot Linux Mint from a thumb drive. If you like it, it can be installed in like 5 clicks. (assuming you already prepped the machine, backed up, etc. I dual booted at first but that only lasted about 2 weeks before I wiped windows)

I have personally since moved to Debian KDE Plasma. It's a target platform at work, and it's more of a server machine at home. Plus doing a few more things via CLI or via finding old forum posts or documentation is fine by me.

I might try Garuda on the new PC we've been putting together, though. It looks like a well polished gaming-focused OS that is also Arch-based to get me into that whole family of distros. (because Valve went that way of course, and in the future I'll always want a PC that can seamlessly run SteamVR. Plus computers are fun.)

Eww, friends I know it's ok to say fuck on the internet, but some words are just yucky to read, you feel me?

lol

Things are crazy enough that the last term might need to be more like... ProjectPedoPhilia?

And that could double as a nickname for Project 2025!
