  • Trump Cancels a Debate With Harris on ABC News and Pitches One With Fox News Instead

    Jump

  • Yes. This is blatant misinformation. Nobody "agreed" to anything. The actual nyt article doesn't even use this word. This post needs to be deleted.

  • The growth of Linux desktop marketshare, in percent of total, since 2009

    Jump

  • I had dabbled in it off and on since LONG LONG ago, but I only went full time (no dual boot) since windows 11 release. So yeah, I bet there's lots others like me.

  • Sofa so bad for JD Vance as Trump’s VP pick faces swirling speculation

    Jump

  • Yeah he basically wrote a book full of a bunch of lies in which he shits all over kentucky, but also the entire appalachian region with just a whole truckload of baseless claims and completely made up "stories" of his upbringing that never happened. It's all lies. Like @eestileib said, it just preyed on the prejudice big city people all over the country had about this region, having never actually been here at all. They think of Appalachia and think no shoes, inbred hillbillies who can't even speak and don't have running water. Vance wrote a NY TIMES BESTSELLER (how on earth did they approve that) that just made up a bunch of lies confirming all those prejudices. In reality Appalachia is one of the most unique, gorgeous, creative, wonderful places on earth. Of course it has its problems, but Vance would never write something about how beautiful and wonderful something is. He'd much rather write something that tears down and belittles people he knows nothing about.

    As I said: he's probably the #1 most hated human around this region.

  • Google Chrome warns uBlock Origin may soon be disabled

    Jump

  • It was indeed buggy, which was when I reached out to support. They immediately asked if I was using not Google Chrome itself, but a Chromium offshoot like Brave or Vivaldi. I was using ungoogled chromium, so they told me it won't work. I switched to regular google chrome and it worked great. I wonder what on earth they're using that's part of Google Chrome that makes it work and not part of any other chromium projects.

  • Rivian Now Selling EVs With Software-Locked Batteries

    Jump

  • man, I used to be interested in the pickup, not so much anymore. If I buy a car, it's mine to do whatever the F I want to do with it, I'll never buy any vehicle I don't own. (In this case no consumer ever owns a rivian)

  • Sofa so bad for JD Vance as Trump’s VP pick faces swirling speculation

    Jump

  • I'm from central KY and my wife's from Appalachia. I think the entire region would have a massive week long party titled "FUCK JD VANCE FOREVER" if this happened. He's one of the most hated people around here. You even bring up his name and you can see people's heart rates and fury and anger go up even before the ranting begins.

  • Ladybird looks great! Very much looking forward to an alpha linux release so I can use it and give all kind of feedback.

  • Google Chrome warns uBlock Origin may soon be disabled

    Jump

  • There's already plenty of business web apps that require chrome. I specifically use a business focused web app that not only requires Chrome, but ONLY CHROME ITSELF and no chromium derivatives. That's the first time I've come across that. I had previously seen chrome requirements, but they worked just fine on ungoogled chromium. Not this one, nope. Regular Google Chrome and nothing else. wtf is that garbage.

  • PSA: Libraries

  • I use my libary card to download and read free ebooks on my Kobo all the time. Absolutely love it.

  • Just tried it out with my proton account. Looks great! It's very simple, but I also like that about it. And of course being private is wonderful.

  • Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling

    Jump

  • Windows 11 was what finally forced me over to linux for good, no more dual booting. I know it sounds strange, but the straw that broke its back was the taskbar. I have an ultrawide monitor, so I ALWAYS have the taskbar vertical on a side. It makes zero sense to have it at the bottom. Massive waste of space. Windows 11 DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO MOVE THE TASKBAR. I was flabbergasted. This is a feature that has existed for decades in every OS. I just couldn't comprehend the stupidity, so I just didn't. Formatted the drive and went to Arch, then to Tumbleweed. Couldn't be happier.

  • All those tiny penis trucks are so funny, there's never a single spot of mud or dirt inside the wheel wells, and they put mud tires on to drive around on pavement! It's like ........ hmmmmmmmmm what happened to your brain?

  • 700 years worth of compute to do about an hour of gaming that I just did on my pc at home in realtime ... damn.

    Did I math it right? I was averaging about 100 fps in hogwarts for about an hour.

  • Been using standardnotes for years and absolutely love it. My fav is the quick note-type changer. Can go from base text only to markup to checklist etc so easy.

  • New Study: At Least 15% of All Reddit Content is Corporate Trolls Trying to Manipulate Public Opinion

    Jump

  • I was really surprised recently when I was searching for some help with a mod for a videogame and a result popped up on my duckduckgo search page for a thread on reddit about it, so I clicked it and BAM: "error, this subreddit has not been reviewed, so it is not possible to view it. Either use the app or go to home page" ......... wtf? I mean, this basically destroys the entire site right? I was 100% unable to view whatever content had been posted in that subreddit. So I just closed it and went somewhere else. I don't see how reddit can even continue to exist if they don't allow people to view the site. How did this happen?

  • Researchers jailbreak a Tesla to get free in-car feature upgrades

    Jump

  • hmmm yes I suppose that's true. Okay so let me rephrase: I'm amazed it's legal for a car manufacturer to even HAVE a TOS like that when you purchase a car. It shouldn't be legal to write language like "you are purchasing this but agreeing that you can't use it" ... wtf?

  • Researchers jailbreak a Tesla to get free in-car feature upgrades

    Jump

  • I'm amazed that it's legal for a car company to sell you something, and then after you own it, remotely disable xyz aspects of the functionality unless you pay them more. How can that be legal? I own the car, it's MINE now, how can I not use every single thing that's in it?

  • Gaming handhelds, like the Switch and Steam Deck, will need to have a replaceable battery by 2027 in EU | overkill.wtf

  • This is a very good thing. Thank you EU for forcing us dirty heathens in NA to have consumer protections.
