Finally, a church that’s in the news for doing something GOOD.

Right you are, updated accordingly. Thanks for the tip.

Oh yeah, my bad for not including what it’s about. I’ll edit that back into the post.

And for extra reading, learn about how the new pope covered up for priests that abused kids when he was a bishop:

What’s a Nazi’s favorite color smoke?

White smoke.

(For all y’all non Catholics, the vatican has white smoke to signal when they elect a new pope…and ya know…JD Vance is a nazi.)

Need X-kill replacement.

Yeah, that headline did the star of Real Genius dirty with choosing Batman Forever

It’s so they can track you better. If you’re in the US and using a Chromium based browser, so long as you don’t view “adult content” they usually don’t pop this up. But they can’t track in Firefox, and because of GDPR, they can’t track logged-out users in the EU, so it’s all about the money. I use Vivaldi and a VPN to watch youtube, works mostly fine.

EDIT: Well never-fucking-mind…this strategy has worked for me without fail for a lonnnnng time, and today they got me…same day the pulled uBlock origin from the Chrome store…dicks.

I’ve flirted with Linux off and on for 20 years, but MS forcing everyone to Win 11, stuffed with spyware, is the end of the road for me. Now on Linux full time. Linux isn’t about to take over the desktop, but I can see Windows shedding a couple million users a year as enshittification continues.

You can totally turn it off in a couple clicks or leave it on if you want it. Other tech companies take note, this is how you do it.

Every Texan I know has a generator to deal with the unreliability of the grid, and there’s never been an article about someone in Iowa getting a surprise $100k electric bill…and the average wage in Texas is substantially lower than in “left wing” states like California or Washington…so not sure you’re making an apples-to-apples comparison, but time will be the judge, we can all check-in in a year and see how this plays out. Does Lemmy have a remind me! bot?

There are so many breaking points:

• With software it was moving everything to subscriptions that made me switch to Linux and LibreOffice
• With hardware it was when Apple started soldering RAM in their computers so you couldn’t replace it
• With healthcare it was having to negotiate with 11 different companies my 11 bills for a single ER visit
• With the Democrats it was the head of the DNC saying out loud that the reason for super delegates was to prevent popular grassroots candidates from winning

Capitalism doesn’t just crush you once, it finds a new way to crush you every day.

Trump’s greatest accomplishment, surpassing the DuoLingo owl in being the most annoying thing to make me want to learn Spanish. Pendejo.

The one state that refuses to connect to the interstate power grid and has Uber-like surge pricing on electricity? Yeah, I’m sure this won’t result in regular people footing the bill for more billionaire profits.

Texas is a joke, but not a good one.

No, but they can remain solvent longer than you can survive on the streets.

And that’s how they get you.

What makes them (it?) good?

Being mad about this instead of Dave Coulier “dating” Alanis Morisette when he was in his 30s and she was 17 is like being mad at Obama about wearing a tan suit and not all the drone bombings or mass-deportations.

We’re bad at picking what to be pissed about.
