It’s absolutely worth watching - still the best TV I ever watched. The problem is that the book Author is an absolutely amazing writer, and the show runners were not good writers, so when the show surpassed the books, it was obvious (this is essentially the last two seasons). The show runners also rushed the ending because they were told Disney had a Star wars trilogy waiting for them. GoT easily could have been another 3 seasons to have a proper ending

Rising fascism all over the place, what can possibly go wrong

Same donors, same team.

You are clearly a fucking little teen or something. I have tons of old systems that do the job fine and will run until the heat deah of the universe. Not everything is about the latest and greatest gaming system.

Look at username

Huh?

Let’s bring on the 4chan etiquette… 😅

So what exactly is wrong with X11? I find X to be absolutely great, and it is great for me to use POSIX apps across multiple architectures and systems.
Like what is it about Wayland that absolutely shits on X11 and makes people want to ditch X?

This is it right here. I can’t believe the nonsense I’m reading in this thread. Just goes to show how absolutely uninformed most people are when it comes to security and privacy

I guess I find it confusing because (for me), the term liberal was used as a synonym for a lefty. I know left of US “liberals” don’t like liberals, but that’s more of a recent revelation to me

Fuck off Benny. Either answer the question or move on if you have no desire to have a conversation

I think the world liberal is used… Liberally. I usually equate it in the US political term for left of center (or rather the opposite of conservatives), but I know the entire US political system is hijacked - both “sides” answer to the same overlords

Why do you use the liberal label? I’ve been hearing this “China bad” shit from the right for years

My experience has been that computer science is a huge umbrella term to normies. Many people, including hiring managers seem to thing computer science is more of a trade education where people come out knowing everything about excel, windows, PowerPoint, file conversions, obscure knowledge of ancient software, expertise in setting up enterprise printers, etc

I was developing software for a position I was in, and everyone was shocked I was a developer… (It was a devops job where everyone basically edited yaml or json files all day long…)

People who disagree with you are people who never spent time with the ultra rich. I’ve had the pleasure to hang in those circles and it was absolutely eye opening the complete disdain that social class has toward the working class. It’s so fucking crazy that one has to see it for themselves to truly appreciate the hate they have for everyone not in their economic circles.

Preach on brother, but I also understand why the plebs don’t believe you

We spent way more than one Trillion…

The dictator thing doesn’t mean much - the Chinese dictator seems to have the best interest of China, it’s economy and it’s people at the top of his priorities as far as I can tell, whereas the US’s wanna be dictator cares about nothing but to enrich himself and his rich friends - not the long term success of the US or it’s citizens.

I would happily resurrect Augustus and have his as the dictator of the US - but the problem with dictators isn’t exactly the fact it’s a dictator (assuming it’s not a bad one), it’s more of the fact that succession doesn’t really work and you never know what you get next.

After Augustus, Rome had to deal with Tiberius and Caligula, then after Cladius, Rome had to deal with Nero. And so on and so on.

If the Republican/Conservative party wasn’t so utterly broken and filled with the absolutely worst fucking people, maybe this democracy thing would work better, but here we are

Never underestimate the stupidity and mental gymnastics of conservatives

I can’t speak to “emotional state”, but the thottening is a real thing (I’ve spent weeks trying to stop having all these ass models from cluttering up my feed, it’s impossible)

I’m convinced insta knows your a guy and will blast you with reels full of chicks no matter what you do.
