And by “White House App” I’m going to assume they mean Twitter, since the article is REALLY light on specifics.

I find it stressful to live in a country where his goons can murder me or deport me for no reason at all. And I have no hope for any justice.

Fuck his stress. I hope it tortures him to madness.

Use a VPN and an operating system that doesn’t spy on you and harvest your info. Use 3rd party encryption.

I think the best way to turn people on to Linux is to give them a bootable live USB, so they can try it out. Otherwise, they have no basis for comparison.

Too many people just accept whatever Microsoft gives them, shrug and think, “Well, I guess this is just the way computers are.”

Same here. I have Windows 10 on a separate physical disk (sdb). I have Linux and GRUB on sda, so Windows has no idea that it’s not the only OS on my computer.

Look, It’s one of those articles again. The bi-monthly “China invents earth-shattering technology breakthrough that we never hear about again.”

“1000x faster?” Learn to lie better. Real technological improvements are almost always incremental, like “10-20% faster, bigger, stronger.” Not 1000 freaking times faster. You lie like a child. Or like Trump.

Steam has a native Linux client and every game I bought on Windows runs just fine on Linux.

All my older, non-steam games, like “Deus Ex” or “Giants: Citizen Kabuto” run great under Wine, using the default settings. Also, there are Linux versions of DOSBox, for older games.

“Do you have a life? --> No --> Arch Linux”

Lol.

“That’s harder than it sounds.”

Is it, though? Is it really? We’ve been making manual car door latches for 100 years.

It’s only hard for Musk, and only because he just doesn’t want to do it.

I think the new owners will fark NexusMods to death and you should start looking for a backup site to host your mods.

ICE doesn’t have enough people to intimidate a single blue city, let alone the country. They can’t even operate in Los Angeles without the backup of a small number of National Guard and Marines and they’re doing that illegal action over the governor’s explicit objections.

ICE are a bunch of cowards, doing safe, comfortable hits in suburbs and on people who are complying with the law. (Immigration hearings and workplaces.)

Trump already left G7 to supposedly “focus on the escalating Israeli-Iran conflict.”

That’s not the reason why he left. He’s leaving early because he tried to hijack the G7 conference with his usual, personal grievance bullshit and to make the entire conference all about HIM, like he always does. But they weren’t having it and they told him to go home and get his f*cking shine box. So now, he’s leaving in a huff because they hurt his childish, rodentine feelings.

Once again. Companies do NOT pay tariffs. They pass on those costs of those tariffs to their customers. YOU are gonna pay that extra 25% not Apple.

Once again, “if buying isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing.”

I’m only letting my latest Brother printer connect to my computer through the USB cable. No Internet connection at all.

I also recommend downloading StreetComplete, which lets you contribute to the OpenStreetMaps database.

The article was incredibly light on specifics. What were the hateful / threatening messages? Why would anyone have a problem with helping developers find new jobs? Why were those developers fired in the first place?

I like the SearX search engine. It gives old-school, relevant search results, not google ranked ones.

It’s also spread out over many separate instances, so you can pick the one that best suits your search needs:

It’s never too late to develop the valuable human skill of “empathy.”

Although most of us learn it at an early age.

As if I needed another reason to hate Microsoft.
