Nope…might have made it worse 🤷

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.)

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.

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?

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.

For anyone who doesn’t already know the good FOSS alternatives:

• Local: Libreoffice
• Cloud/self-hosted: Nextcloud Office

Probably preaching to the choir on Lemmy but…reminder to boycott Facebook and Instagram.

Wow, this looks really cool! I see a reddit icon on there, but not a Lemmy one…is Lemmy support coming?

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.

Perfect. This will now be how I watch. Thanks!

Who is the dude in all the user-friendly distros? Kind of looks like Tom Cruise’s stunt man.

Amazon really loves co-opting anti-capitalism.

Next we’ll be shocked to hear Temu uses Uyghur slave labor 😐

That’s what I say. So far, nobody around me has adopted it 🦆

Reminder that nothing will change without public pressure.

If you’re in the US, you can easily find and write your elected reps here: https://www.270towin.com/elected-officials/

You can also find local groups like the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (in the UK) https://palestinecampaign.org/get-involved/ or the DSA (US) https://www.dsausa.org/chapters/ organizing protests you can participate in as our voices are louder in numbers.

Yeah, Mailspring is what I use currently, but the sidebar pretty much just shows the list of e-mails, no other data, but it is the best of what I’ve found on my own.

Fully customizable task bar, PlasmaTube (based on Invidious), and a new version of Plasma Mobile…this is a good looking release.

Looks like he blue himself
