Now seems like a good time to do a backup.

Unfortunately I can't vouch for either of these instructions as I followed instructions from a now defunct privacy podcast.

That's a mighty deportable first name. Would be a shame if people reported him to ice until they managed to find someone so ignorant they try to arrest him.

It says shitpost, but I 100000% believe this is a real thing.

Seems fine to me. I hope they start feeling "threatened".

In general, yes. I'm not super old but there's never been a time in my life when that hasn't been the case. Hard to think of a developed country where this is false.

I mean not as much as Russia or China, lol

Audiobook shelf is great, and they have several good client apps in addition to the browser app.

No, fuck dumbasses who think a dash makes you a computer.

Nice attempt at both sidesing. I'm assuming you're mostly focused on the us, so there is one party in power in all three branches of government and the other party has close to no power (the current shutdown demonstrates how the democrats are damned if they do and damned if they don't).

In terms of citizens, a broad portion of the us population has spent the last 50+ years hating the government, but now that it's small enough to fit in pants they seem mostly content.

Another broad portion has historically viewed government as trash but the only way to get things done that benefit the population. Since the government is now heavily focused on doing whatever it can to hurt the population (whether you're a farmer, immigrant, elderly/sick, or whatever, this government is actively trying to hurt you), that portion is now unhappy but with no realistic approach to solving it.

My perception is that outside of 20-somethings, people are more or less in the same bucket they've always been in. Nothing going on here is remotely new. I don't see any real change in people wanting anything other than the status quo.

Oh hey you're right, you are two separate people. Fixed the text of the post. I do wish this app made people more visually distinct. It's not 1990. Well either way you seem to be well aware I was referring to the other person's comment, so we should be good to go.

Well I moved from having no account and seeing this stuff pop up all the time to making an account...so no, I haven't yet tired of it. But it's only been a day so let's see.

Wow an anti windows meme on lemmy getting votes? Shocking.

Never be above that sort of thing 😍

Go away troll

Lol fair

That's fine, but it's always the same meme over and over again. Can we not find new ways to hate windows? Ideally ones that are actually funny?

Well to start, the effectiveness isn't possible to measure at this point.

However, the comment had nothing to do with that, and instead was about you comparing attempted protests to "participation trophies" which is a conservative dog whistle for "kids these days don't have that dog eat dog capitalist spirit, do we need more lead in the air again?"

For context, WW2 was faught and won with participation trophy snowflakes. If it was good enough to defeat Nazis then, it's good enough to defeat Nazis now.

What was even the alternative at the start of this meme? There was macos being mediocre and bsd...being for bsd people. Linux wasn't around yet for real.

As much as I wish I could agree, I think he looks more like Patrick Stewart at around the same age (maybe less sunscreen). I mean in a health sense, not in actual attractiveness. Hair loss can happen as early as your 20s if you're a male.

Given how much he "melts down" shouldn't he look more like trump by now?

Wait what do gay dogs say??? I must know!
