This instance has been demoted to my secondary Lemmy account if instability is going to become a problem here in the future. I'm promoting lemmy.wtf to my main Lemmy account, and I'll link it below.

FreeBSD has been on a bit of a glowup arc too though, at least for general desktop use. No, but really, there needs to be a viable third option other than Windows and Linux in the desktop PC space.

Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC

Yeah, the OEM deals in themselves are shady as fuck once you think about it for a couple seconds.

One more reason to restrict Windows to a VM and run Linux or some other *nix on the host for a baremetal OS if you want or need to run it at all.

Should sneakers with lights in the sole exist for adults?

Haven't bothered to look, they sell it in full-sized though.

Good morning Mr. President! You wake up after a snap election in the US to find out that you are the new POTUS, what are the five first things that you focus on to reverse the current course of the US

Restoring funding for public media and making it permanently untouchable by anything, meaning no rescissions packages can claw it back ever again, would be nice too.

This is going to be way more than five points but here goes:

Restore rights that and make them ironclad and impossible to take away again in the future, basically, make the Bill of Rights really be as inalienable as it claims to be and turn it into something that no one can touch without facing harsh consequences.
Eliminate privatized healthcare and replace it with a universal scheme.
Eliminate Citizens United and hold corporations under the same laws as normal people and under the same penalties for breaking them as normal people, maybe then they'd actually have to stop their abusive tactics.
Raise taxes on the rich while cutting taxes on everyone else, and cut military spending in half or deeper, and put the added funds and savings from cutting military spending towards restoring public media funding and earmarking said funding in a way that cannot be clawed back in a future rescissions package, as well as funding education, science, arts/humanities, and healthcare, and also reworking the public education system to where it's not the joke of society anymore and it's actually competitive with the rest of the world.
Actually regulate AI before it destroys everything, and also count MLMs under the same definition as illegal pyramid schemes, Ponzi schemes, etc, and actually make running one a jailable offense just like those other scams.
Eliminate privatized and especially for-profit post-secondary education, make predatory student loans patently illegal under the same scams listed above, and actually offer free post-secondary education like most of the other countries do.
Raise federal minimum wage to where it actually catches up with living costs, and actually put stronger affordable housing programs in place than Section 8 and make them applicable to anyone who needs them.
Make for-profit prisons illegal and reform the prison system to where it actually focuses on rehabilitation rather than punishment, which if done right will greatly reduce recidivism rates (that means no more 'diesel therapy' among other things), and finally.......
Actually hold anyone who tries to straight-up turn a republic into a dictatorship accountable for their actions, and also stop the manufactured 'border crisis' and actually allow the country to be the accepting bastion of freedom it bills itself as, basically let it do as it says on the tin, as it were, and start actually treating marginalized communities the same as everyone else, that means PoC, the LGBT community, the disabled community, and especially the AuDHD community has the same rights as everyone else as opposed to being discriminated against.

As an added bonus, outlaw mandatory online ID checks and code it into law that such things be strictly optional.

This is a hypothetical so I might as well go ham.

Bedding and sheets with fun prints

Technically there's no one and nothing stopping you from buying Pokemon bedding, for example.

Clothes with dinosaur/unicorn/etc designs

Also, cute clothes have been trendy since MLP:FiM at the earliest.

What's a good FREE music streaming service that isn't run by the devil?

Jump

DFX4509B @lemmy.org 4mo ago

Start stocking up on CDs and ripping them to FLAC yourself, and self-host those rips on an MPD server. Free streaming from a server you own and control the content on.

Why don't Americans impeach Trump?

Jump

DFX4509B @lemmy.org 4mo ago

And also free speech, free press, rights in general.... And I also can't shake the feeling that the government shutdown was a ploy to attempt to delay or cancel both upcoming elections.

Because the vote was rigged and Elon Musk basically bought Trump the election.

I only counted Jobst for how quickly everyone turned on him after the lawsuit loss, so it's purely for being a rapid downfall, Iiiluminaughtii is way worse.

Why are AI companies suddenly opening up coffee shops?

Jump

DFX4509B @lemmy.org 4mo ago

Really? AI companies going Herbalife now? Because this reminds me of how Herbalife fronts would typically pop up.

I mean, this is straight out of Herbalife's playbook for luring new marks fresh off the street into their pyramid scheme, c'mon now....

What technologies were ubiquitous ten years ago and are much less common now?

Jump

DFX4509B @lemmy.org 4mo ago

I'd say audio CDs, but those have been back on the upward trend since streaming and download services started getting hostile and people started wising up to that hostility, in other words, people want to own their music again and so started buying CDs again recently vs. having a streaming or download service randomly yank content they paid for from their libraries.

What do you still use reddit for?

DFX4509B @lemmy.org 4mo ago

I don't have an account anymore and don't plan on setting one back up (I killed my account before shit got really bad over there), but I still browse without an account via Redlib from time to time.
