XP: same as win2k, except a defrag is required afterwards. Also, Teletubbies color schema.

The Teletubbies color scheme was great, though!

Why would you even consider using Windows without a mouse, though?

Remind me what Metro was again?

Sure feels like that sometimes, LOL

Take any action movie and really focus on those kills, especially when it’s with melee weapons instead on guns. Don’t even need to go full splatter movie, just actually show the violence that’s happening in great detail and with maybe some amount of realism (people rarely die in one blow, and bladed weapons can get stuck in bodies)(obviously that doesn’t work as well for sci-fi and superhero movies). There are going to be a lot of turned stomachs.

A lot of spy movies, just don’t fade to black when there’s torture.

Yeah. Someone has to put in the work for packaging an application if you want it as a .deb/.rpm etc. package and deal with any bugs that might come up, and it’s not going to be me (speaking as a user, not a developer).

That said, I also painted myself into a corner when it comes to harddrive space. LUKS can be complicated, man …

I think Github is a relatively simple issue. There isn’t really a shortage of european (or just selfhostable) alternatives, and the way git works means that most contributors have complete local copies of the codebase. TBH I worry more about the ability of american contributors to continue working on a project if the code is hosted in europe - basically a lot of open source developer teams could end up being split or shut down entirely. And the bigger projects like Linux and a lot of the intermediate layers between the Linux kernel and applications are majorly backed and developed by american companies and their employees.

There is SearXNG, it’s open source and decentralized but AFAIK the different instances don’t really share information between them. I’m personally interested in trying it, but I’m apprehensive about the fact that it’s really hard to know whether a particular instance is trustworthy, and while it’s possible I don’t think it makes much sense to host it myself.

Rightwingers don’t usually care about whether immigrants have citizenship or not.

I’d like to point out that I’m european, not american - this is the opposite of calling each other hypocrites.

It’s not like most european countries are in a good position to justifiably point fingers here …

I guess apathy is slightly better than hate, but it’s kind of hard to be proud that so many people see all this hate and chose to not vote.

There’s a German word for that, Machtergreifung.

Being moderately well-off doesn’t mean anything when the government decides to deport you or otherwise deny you rights (abortions, anyone?). USA is also the country with (one of?) the worlds highest prison populations per capita, which is seriously fucked up. They even made inmates do firefighting in the LA fires, without proper safety equipment.

I go back and forth between lamenting that corporate propaganda created this state of things, and lamenting that so many people are dumb enough to fall for it. Calling voters dumbasses doesn’t solve anything, but I’m definitely thinking it a lot lately.

I’d assume they just don’t care.

They aren’t wrong IMO - if you don’t do anything that requires a lot of processing power or really need a lot of slots for peripherals, PCI cards and drives, you might as well connect your external display, keyboard and mouse to a laptop. It gives you the option to take the entire thing with you, and a lot of people have spare laptops anyway.

I know plenty of people who don’t even use their laptop much because they’re doing everything on their phones or game consoles.

Even without weed, they still had Bob Marley and reggea in general.

Rastafari isn’t actually that cool, especially not when it comes to gay people. They are also strongly opposed to oral and anal in heterosexual couples and are generally quite patriarchal. Have a read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rastafari

Also, afrocentrism is one of its core ideas, which makes it pretty weird when white people convert to it (e.g. Gentleman, a German reggea singer).

Also, weed is still illegal in Jamaica. I assume it gets tolerated somewhat, at least with the Rastafaris, but it’s technically illegal.

Also also, Jamaican rum is really good! It’s a very special style, no one makes it quite like they do.

OP’s premise is specifically that you cannot detect them easily at some point in the future. Are you planning on insulting every single person who wears prescription glasses?
