@Phelan That guy thought he was being really poetic when I think what's on the mind of most angry Trump voters is "Leavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealoneleavemealone"
@Its_Not_Gay_If_Bore_Soy_Does_it Deeply apologizing for... kitler?
Maybe people need to calm tf down. The people who actually fought the nazis are looking down on us and they're disgusted. "We fought and died and watched our friends die and we suffered for *this*?"

Liar, liar, liar, liar, liar!
All these people are lying liars who lie!
Everywhere that is mandated solar has some of the highest electricity prices on the planet. Australia went from having some of the cheapest electricity on the planet to the most expensive. Ontario Canada mandated green energy and that has created the global adjustment charge that represents half of an industrial customers Bill and 75% of the residential rate. that has once again but Ontario from being one of the cheapest places for electricity in the country to one of the most expensive!
In terms of being a proven solution there's exactly one green energy source that works: Hydro. Compared to Ontario, Manitoba is fully run by hydroelectricity and their electricity is dirt cheap. Similarly, Quebec is almost exclusively run by hydroelectricity and their electricity is dirt cheap. Reality doesn't care about your ideology!
One guy I knew in Ontario was ultimately paying 400 a month in electricity to heat his home, and then he moved to propane and his heating costs dropped in a quarter.
Then Trudeau brought in a carbon tax because we can't have people not choosing between heat and food!
If solar was the cheapest energy production in history, then places with the most solar would have the cheapest electricity. Simple as that. And we know, we can look, the numbers are publicly available -- it's simply not true! Quit lying!

I just opened my #ewj2 package containing the new earthworm jim 2 comic. It's like Christmas morning! There's 2 embroidered patches, some stickers, a couple of smaller softcover comic books, a really cool poster, and then the main event: The book is beautiful, gilded pages, two colours of foil, embossed, really something special.
Doug Tennapel is someone I strongly disagree with on political issues, but it doesn't matter. His stories don't require you to agree with his political views to enjoy them. It reminds me of a better time.
His love of the craft of bookmaking and the details of a well made book have kind of worn off on me. I've been trying to build a library of well made books for my kids.

@boilingsteam @Ertain I'm sure that soon you won't even be able to say the N-Word on discord. Heresy!
@boilingsteam If only there was some pithy three phrase motto that Microsoft was well known for employing.
Naw, they're just good guys being good guys because they're so good.

Dear #fediblock, it is now several weeks since I self reported myself to the ministry of truth for erasure for wrongthink, and I have yet to be disappeared. This is doubleplus ungood and must be made doubleplus good immediately. I'm certain I have opinions you disagree with, let's do this shit so everyone can walk away now without any hurt feelings!
@Vivernu ngl I'm more interested in the story in the "up next" box than this one! That sounds hilarious!
@hund The new religious right just wants to destroy, just like the old religious right. It's just that now, instead of claiming someone worships the devil or is a witch, they'll claim that a long haired hippy who has dedicated his life to making the world a freer place is actually a nazi.
If egg salad sandwiches became a taboo, they'd accuse people they want to disappear of loving egg salad sandwiches. It's sad because I've grown up progressive, but these people aren't allies of that cause, they're remoras clinging to the most powerful force of the time. The same people saying RMS is homophobic in 2021, would have accused him of being gay in 1971 had they been alive. Anything to destroy.

@fribbledom My first computer didn't have a hard drive. My first hard drive was 5MB and you had to calibrate it to the proper interleave. It was also large enough that it could be used as a lethal weapon in a fight.
Try explaining that to a kid who grew up with microSD cards!

Hey! Found my first brush with the societal rot that took over twitter on the fediverse.
You guys who go out of your way to argue with toxic bigots like that have different temperament than I do.
The scariest thing is that they think they're the good guys.

Randomly, I don't know how the left can seek out to beat anyone who looks Asian up in case he's Andy Ngo, and claim Asians are basically whites and they need to be oppressed, then pretend they care about violence against Asians.
I guess it should be obvious they don't believe anything that they say...

Woo! My earthworm Jim 2 comic is in the mail!
Doug Tennaple is someone I fundamentally disagree with on a lot of things, but he keeps the preaching out of his books, and I'd like to return to tolerating people we disagree with.

I played with sailfishos a little too. it was also very nicely set up, but I don't think I had much luck installing desktop apps, and to run sailfishos required running a really strange and unstable dual boot setup that pretty quickly destroyed itself.
I've been playing with all sorts of Linux distributions on a nexus 5 I bought for the purpose.
So far, Ubuntu touch works really well and the interface is really well designed, but I feel like you're replacing one cage for a other. You're meant to be in their ecosystem. I couldn't get a web browser to run in either libertine or anbox, and their store is pretty sparse.
Plasma mobile was broken and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't unbreak it. The install scripts didn't work out of the box.
Postmarketos has high points and low points. It is the only phone is that will let me natively install desktop apps, but on the nexus 5 any environment using the Wayland environment crashes shortly after startup. XFCE and mate work reasonably well and didn't crash, but they're not mobile centered to the point that I don't see how you'd use them without plugging in a keyboard and mouse.
At this point, I think the phone I'm using is the limiting factor. I think postmarketos is where the interesting stuff lives right now, and without a phone that's a bit more compatible, I won't be able to play with the most interesting stuff.
In the few glimpses I was able to see of a mobile Linux distribution, I like the potential. Phone CPUs and GPUs are fully capable of running full power desktop Linux programs, and I think they could be largely usable with minimal tweaks. Companies keep on assuming that convergence will be into the mobile space, I think the more interesting convergence will be mobile platforms becoming more like desktops. #foss #mobile #ububtutouch #postmarketos #linux

@malin I'm not hating on the article, but rather the horrid people who want to knock a guy like Stallman down because he isn't "nice enough".
I lost it at the one person's quote that they definitely would have for sure contributed to open source, but they just weren't nice enough.
Sure, there are ways you can have advantages, but especially for the past 25 or so years, the information is out there. Nobody programmed in the little industrial town I grew up in, but I managed to make some games and utilities and I was even able to contribute to the community I was part of online. Nobody needed to know I lived in a little industrial town where nobody programmed as long as the code worked.
