“Treat every computer like you’re in a library and the head librarian is stood behind you with someone in a very plain black suit next to them”

Pretty much another bit of “Don’t put anything personally identifying on the internet, you don’t know who wants that information or why, but you know they’ll be able to take it if they want to” kinda advice. (Thankfully haven’t learned that one the hard way, just heard it and now it’s stuck.)

The frame rate on high refresh monitors

I’ve got friends that say they can’t tell the difference, who’ve only ever used 60hz

Do you think there will be safe places on the internet?

If it’s connected, it’s accessible. Won’t matter what human level security we put in place when the datacenters these clankers run on have enough GPUs to brute force their way through.

Offline communication will make a resurgence, and will become indespensible when the resource wars the billionaires are funding reach the rest of the world.

Children of men.

Plastics that have accumulated in our bodies are going to have massive impacts on our bodys regular functions. Covid ran rampant causing mental decline and increased weaknesses to milder diseases, leading to further degradation of our body’s regular function. Authoritarianism is deep set into our politics Climate change is forcing more and more people into refugee status. The rich and wealthy continue to violate our planet for their own gain, building themselves bunkers and personal armies to defend themselves from the consequences of their actions.

Well. Shit. Now I’ve got no excuses.

At least the kid is getting charged but what the fuck

So a boy made child p**n of a classmate and wasn’t punished but the victim of the crime was?

Americans really living up to their president’s standards eh

They don’t want to know why there are so many dual citizenship pedos taking shelter from prosecution over there

I’m not in your walls

I’m in your walls

I’m in your walls

I’m in your walls

I’m in your walls

Maybe it’s time to start taking baths instead of showers.

Every single electrical item on the planet stops working, because every generator, turbine, and motor immediately stops running.

Car batteries never charge, starter motors won’t turn, and any hall effect sensors cease to operate.

Kitchen floors would be covered with souvenirs and notes.

Society would collapse

To be fair, the last multiplayer game I was massively into was Warframe, but haven’t been on that in years at this point (if No Mans Sky doesn’t count lol)

I’ll probably end up loading Bazzite just because gaming and general browsing online is all I use my rig for these days (I may branch into freecad at some point for the fun of it but we’ll burn that bridge when we get to it)

Heard good things about Bazzite, how does it work out with .exe game files off the internet etc?

Ive got a boat load of games that aren’t on steam/are from GOG or itch and run as their own files instead of being run off a service

After spending the past ten years or so being exposed to videos of Ukrainian, West Papuan, Hong Kong and Palestinian civilians being brutalized by their neighbouring countries, it certainly felt like a foregone conclusion that I was going to come across the video at some point.

It was one of the reasons why I left Reddit back in the day, their userbase’s obsession with posting, upvoting and even celebrating uncensored snuff shit (especially during the 'rona times when half the posts were people celebrating the deaths of antivaxxers and random members of the American public that’d fallen for the antivax propaganda.)

Even with the ‘this contains sensitive content’ filter being put on almost every insta post, one account straight up played it uncensored in the middle of a few memes, so now it lives alongside countless other fucked up things I’ve seen over the years of being online.

It’s almost like these social media companies know what they’re doing, and they’re doing it intentionally. For what purpose, I can’t begin to speculate on without either sounding like some kind of schizotypal tinfoiler, or diluting the real societal problems by failing to address the millions of issues that have compounded until we got here.

Hey linuxmemes, I’ve got a question, can I straight up install linux on a windows computer and have access to all my files as they’ve been laid out by windows, or am I going to have to use an external backup to move my files ‘out of windows’ and ‘into linux’?

Like I’m getting sicker and sicker of windows pulling their whole attitude of " Weve got an update for you, give us all your data. Give it. What do you mean “right to privacy”? That’s only for companies and billionaires."

Fuck this then. I guess I’m going for linux
