Europe is SO small

Depends on what you count as Europe. If you include Turkey, Caucasus and/or the western part of Russia, it is fucking huge (~7500 km drive from Vorkuta to Cabo da Roca). Even if you only count EU countries, it’s still not that small (~5000 km drive north-to-south). And it’s also way denser than the US so there’s more to see overall, you can’t even explore any single country comprehensively in two weeks time (apart from microstates, of course)

Most expensive military in the world, 50x military budget of your enemy

Advantageous position of a surprise backstabbing attack during negotiations

Kills enemy head of state on the first day in his own house

Commits uncountable war crimes

Still loses in just 3 weeks

It takes a special breed of a fucked up system to suck this bad, they can’t even do imperialist forever wars now.

The MIC is redirecting every cent it can toward profits, and so there’s nothing left for the actual military hardware. The pedophiles in charge can barely think anymore and are high on their own AI-generated propaganda. Truly the century of humiliation hallucination for the USA

I don’t think the pen input sensitivity/features on it is suitable for pro-level artists, but I might be wrong.

I also dislike Iran’s political system, but overall the US has killed, maimed, tortured and ruined the lives of many more people then Iran’s government ever could. US is currently the most evil country on this planet, and has been in the running ever since its founding.

But even then, let’s suppose for a second that somehow Iran’s government is more evil. So what? Bombing Tehran city center, destroying mosques and museums, causing an immense ecological disaster by blowing up oil reservoirs, and double-tapping an all-girls school with tomahawks will not help the people of Iran in any way. It made their lives measurably, verifiably worse for generations.

I can’t remember the site, now, but I literally couldn’t log into one this week because the email never arrived.

Well, email allows you to solve that issue by self-hosting. But what you can’t solve is that if you do self-host, gmail will drop your emails to spam or just discard them completely, just because it feels like it, even if you do the whole dance with DMARC and have used the domain for a good few years. It’s frustrating as shit.

Scratch that, get people to demand and vote for public transit and cycling infrastructure. It’s much cheaper per person than building&recycling batteries for all the EVs, and beefing up the power grid to support the exploding demand. Much better for the environment and society in general too.

It’s hilarious when you neoliberals of lemmy, post on your communist-built platform, raging about communists on our communist instance… just move. I’ll send you the URL, reddit is dying for people to move there. You and SatansMaggotyCumFarts both.

That list is missing like 50 countries that the US has majorly fucked up for money/oil/power in the last half century, do they not get a pass?

I think the meme is a cliche of “haha you are in a relationship so your partner takes up all your time and you don’t have any time for your hobbies”. Which sounds like a pretty toxic relationship tbh

I made a really cozy and usability-focused setup like 10 years ago, and since I made it with NixOS+home-manager I’m just carrying it over with me. It is going strong after three device swaps, two moves to a new country, and meeting a partner, with some minor changes (i3 -> sway, Nord theme -> custom base16-based, pulseaudio -> pipewire, etc)

I really hope “morging continvoucly” becomes a meme and is used to mock microsoft forever

you will get errors on your errors.

Python3: hold my beer

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Ah, it’s not the best for cases like that, especially if you need to make different layouts all the time. You can get it to do anything with enough packages and positioning hints, but at some point it becomes too much of a chore. If you just need a dozen of layouts and then fill them out with different content, it’s doable.

I haven’t seen any WYSIWYG document editors that are any good. Markdown/Org for simpler stuff, L^AT_EX for more complicated stuff, or mix them together with pandoc.

Only if the touchscreen also has a fluffy texture.

That’s true, for me the main issue with any automation under capitalism is that it brings yet more power to the corpos and the billionaires and takes away power from the labor.

In this particular case it also sucks because the end product of genAI is soulless slop, and video genAI is quite a power hog. I agree that it’s ok for assisting developers/writers/artists/video editors in boring repetitive tasks.

I think LLMs are neat and useful tools in some circumstances. So I don’t hate “AI”, I hate the billionaires who are pushing it down our throats, or trying to replace us.

In that case consider your accounts on “everything else” to be compromised already. It can be a pretty significant vector for identity theft for example.

I don’t think they’d ever get people to do the same for the newer OS’s

Just sayin, if you host a Linux install party you can get a copy of most Linux distributions for free. You can also get it for free if you don’t host a Linux install party, but that’s minor details.

The functional elitist is actually running Yi in XMonad on Guix.
