There was a joke in Germany during the war that Mein Kampf was like the Bible. Everyone had a copy but none had read it.

I tried to read it once and couldn’t. If you’re not super into Hitler’s racial grievances and Weimar politics, it’s hard to understand.

People on a budget can just slow the fuck down. Speeding tickets are not cheap.

Because most people have a parasocial relationship with media personalities so it kinda feels like it’s happening to people you know.

I love this. The Luddites were an early labor movement and their reputation is pure capital propaganda.

It’s not obvious to people who like evidence. What you describe is called suspicion.

Suspicion is a reason to start look for evidence, not a reason to stop.

Your opinion is that secret assassins killed a man in prison. And you aren’t interested or even curious to back that up with anything.

I’m not going to just buy “secret prison assassins” without any evidence that they even exist. Especially when ‘jailbird kills himself’ is reasonable and likely.

What you should take away from this is not that suicide is difficult in prison, but rather that suicide is so common they have specific policies in place.

It makes 10000% perfect sense that Epstein would kill himself. He just got busted down to the justice system tier for mortal Americans and his life was over. People killing themselves in this situation is so common that it’s a trope in media.

The idea that some CIA-Mossad-Legion of Doom joint operation to assassinate him is the claim that’s short on evidence.

Apple products are great. The Apple ecosystem, not so much. If you’re into FOSS computing and FOSS media formats, you’re not going to have a good time.

IDK why you feel that way. But I don’t know you inside and out, like Google or Apple does.

Fun Fact: Thích Quảng Đức, the monk in the picture was not protesting the Vietnam War, but rather the Catholic oppression of the Buddhist majority by the American puppet government.

Somebody got me RBG by Dead Prez for Christmas, and it’s still in heavy rotation.

Heat Pump guy get’s “mad as Hell”. I love it.

It makes strategic sense to decouple from American tech now that they know we’ere an unreliable ally. Microslop won’t guarantee your data won’t go through American servers and jurisdictions. It’s also resistance to Tariff wars and Greenland bullshit that pokes the US in it’s conspirator industry, Big Tech.

I don’t think the proliferation of bad press is anything other than a chronicle of the decline of Firefox.

I’ve been ride or die with Firefox since early, and I’ve never daily driven Chrome. But I’ve had to keep Chrome installed to look at the sites that don’t play with FF. Little by little, FF get’s worse, and most of the “worst” these days are features, not bugs. Though their are plenty of bugs. They certainly deserve praise for keeping faith with ublock. And I appreciate that they respect privacy more than Alphabet.

I want Mozilla to succeed. I just remember when Mozilla made the case with the quality of their software, rather than the quality of their ethics.

To be honest: Windows has been free (for home users) for a while now. To be brutally honest: Most of the users who’ve abandoned Microslop did so with free plugged into the value proposition.

Gnome get’s up and out of my way. 9/10.

This is a weird way to say that PC tech is stagnated and improvements between “generations” is incremental.

It’s not a reverse solar panel. It’s not a solar anything. It requires a difference in heat…

The solar part is because the Sun is responsible for the heat differential.

What do you call a fly with legs without wings? A walk.

Two men are lost in the desert weak from thirst and starvation. One of them spots something and says Hey man, there is a bacon tree over there! The second man says “no such a thing as a bacon tree, that’s just a mirage”, but the first is already running toward the tree. Just then, a hidden soldier under the tree shoots the first man with a machine gun. As he lay dying, he shouts to warn his friend: “it’s not a bacon tree, it’s a ham bush”.
