I feel this existentially, part of it is the sheer absurdity of existence, but part of it is the consequence of social media and doom scrolling.

I find it helpful for myself to take breaks, go for a long walk, or a run, stare into some water, lift something heavy a few times, or make some silly craft with my hands.

Regardless if the whole world is a fascist hellscape, or a communist utopia, we’re all going to the same place in the end anyway - our dead bodies decomposing into dirt, so grass and mushrooms can grow out of us and live. And long after that our sun will burn out, and the remains of people grass and mushrooms will be cold minerals floating in the vast emptiness of space. And the universe will slowly entropy, until it forgets anything that ever happened here. Good or bad, all is temporary.

Going out won’t magically make you feel all good and okay, but it could help stimulate some of the nice neutrotransmitters and help you feel a little less funk in a very funked up world. Keep being brave, comrade!

“subsidize costs”

Costs for the capitalists, not for the consumer.

I mean, let the US have air superiority long enough and I’ll threaten to airstrike itself.

Wonderful to hear!! I’m so glad it went well!!

Thank you for sharing your good news that makes my day <333

And what do you do with the humans who are relentlessly murdering mass numbers of other humans regardless of what you say?

Valid, all valid, and I think everything would be so much better if they just listened to your concerns and cared - which should be a baseline expection in healthcare! - but it really does feel like covid plus the degrading neoliberal hell we live in means we just get what we get.

Continue to be brave, you did great to get this far already, it’s going to be worth it to get through everything!

I wonder if your comment history shows you standing up for immigrants or Palestinians or trans kids like you stand up for literal Hitler.

IIRC Falkon is just using the Qt packaged version of Chromium on the backend so it’s hardly going to be lightweight anyway.

You really hit the nail on the head by including GNU. The philosophy of free software is embedded in the GNU components, Linux was basically just about making an OS kernel that’s practical and useful, nothing more and nothing less.

Do you think they’re all aware that if they are the next one popped off, everyone else will use them just the same way?

Lolllll not me reading this while sipping on bota box wine about to take a bubble bath.

Wow, comments actually kinda cooking in this thread

What if your genocidal terror organization had a smaller secret terror organization with matching Nazi tattoos and secret handshakes.

As long as you’re not posting FSM because FSM IS a diety.

For like a month last year I saw a bunch of them around my city, contemplated making some Nazi stickers to slap on them.

This year, nothing. I assume none of them made it through the winter. But I wouldn’t even consider Nazi stickers now because apparently that shit is suddenly just normal.

Bazzite promotes itself as a “gaming” Linux OS, but it works fine as a solid desktop that is practically impossible to break, it quietly self-updates, and it has a slick “app store”. You can literally just install and forget.

The only issues that will cause you problems is if you need some specific proprietary software like MS Office or Photoshop, or a game with kernel-level anticheat.

I quit Linux distro-hopping for 2 years because I got tired of messing with my system and just wanted to be able to boot reliably and get business done, then with windows 10 I moved back to Bazzite/Universal Blue/Fedora Atomic and stayed since. I use Bluefin on family computers and they just work without me running tech support for them.

It sucks that the one person who could consistently crack Denuvo (probably with insider knowledge/help) ended up being a TERF Nazi.

This has been a meme for a couple years now.

Elections in the US will be gone very soon, replaced by a Mr. Beast style challenge. “SURVIVE 100 days LOCKED in the Oval Office to become PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES”. Combined with some UFC style wrestling, commentary by Joe Rogan. And then finished off with a McDonald’s mukbang.
