making sure to escalate things that will affect tens of millions of people because you don’t want to end up in court – and I don’t say this lightly – is straight-up evil.

Very true.

What is with this end-times porn?

I really wish people who believe in such nonsense would be shunned by society at large. These people are divorced from rationality, reality, and reason.

Look at that, the shooter was another old white man.

Color me surprised.

To be honest, most of the internet is dead anyway.

The good stuff is here in the Fediverse and there are a few havens out there where people can come together.

I can’t touch sugar alcohols.

If I even look at them, I’ll spend the next week on the toilet.

I have to avoid a lot of the low fat/low carb foods because they use this. Also almost anything sweetened with monkfruit has this in it.

As a descendant of Powhatan, I feel like I should call and report every white person I come across.

It’s my understanding that X.org has some fundamental security issues that can’t be fixed. Is that correct?

The major hurdle to that here are Republicans and their corporate masters.

We really need to heavily regulate corporations and apply a heavy tax on them. We also need to get rid of the Citizens United ruling, which basically lets them pump unlimited money into the political process.

The US is a whole lot bigger than Germany though. Each state administers their own election also. There’s no unified system or framework that they all have to follow, and if one was attempted to be forced upon them, they’d cry “states rights” and challenge it in court.

This country truly is due for a reset.

That’s every day that ends in a “y”.

There are as many Autistic people as there have always been. The only thing is that we have become better at screening and categorizing them.

There has always been that person who was all about trains, and could tell you anything about any train from memory. There have always been “Lennys” who have been caught up in the prison system or worse. Now we just know that they are/were autistic.

Yeah, the ones with dead ports become part of my network as either storage or some sort of home server.

The Republican Party is all of those.

I’m inclined to agree. It will take longer to count them, but you can’t easily hack paper ballots.

Absolutely!

I love giving old hardware a new life.

Once I’ve finished tinkering, and if it’s fully functional, I give them to poor families who can’t afford to buy a laptop for their kids.

Sadly, there are a lot of those here in Appalachia.

We former military have ways of dealing with enemies of the state.

I’ll make Debian servers out of recycle your old intel Macs for you! Just pay to ship them to me. 🥰

They’ll just pretend like they don’t know each other when they cross paths at divorce court - just like they do at the liquor store.

No, I didn’t.

I use an anonymous YT client, and wasn’t aware it did that.

I can’t see the Reddit posts, but as an Army veteran - my money is on them using CS gas. The stuff really sucks, and can incapacitate you if you’re not ready to counter it.

Can we not link to Reddit? I get a page that says I’m being blocked and need to log in, which I can’t do because they banned me about 4 years ago for promoting punching Nazis.
