  • The Minneapolis Siege Is Even Worse Than the Videos Show

  • What's happening in our country is a political genocide. Us citizens that don't agree with the administration are getting hounded by federal masked agents. I'm just glad in my relatively unpopulated and very dem area I have yet to see ice or any nonsense. The "city" I live in wouldn't qualify for a small town in neighboring states so I get a bit shielded from all the crap going on, but I fear that means I can make no meaningful impact before it's too late because by the time they come for small America there won't be an America as we would like to know it.

  • While I see your point, I will say there is no such thing as freedom of movement in any city anymore. Every business you pass, every intersection, every few street lamps (depending on ur city) will be monitored by camera. Every major roadway is camera monitored in or out of a city (check ur local 411 traffic cams). In any urban area trying to minimize your contribution to mass surveillance is in vain, it's already been taken care of by the govt and businesses and what we consume! It just seems to be a product of being in a technologically advanced society. What needs to happen is more restrictions on those performing the mass surveillance, although I doubt they'd listen even if our govt tried to restrict them.

  • Nice. Unfortunately for the USA, I believe we have more right wing morons than your country has a population as a whole. It is very hard to beat out our loud minority (magats etc). Unfortunately I believe our population has been far too complacent to billionaire interests for far too long and now we're reaping what our fathers sowed. It's tough. There is a lot of unrest. I live in one of the most liberal states in the country, where our president is threatening to pull federal funding for not bowing down to the supreme leader. But you bet your ass I can't skip out on paying the fed taxes this year. We have people on the other side of the continent telling us who is and isn't allowed in our communities. I fear we're beyond redemption at this point, and we have a whole generation that will have to attone for our ancestors sins.

  • This is a flawed argument. Your walking around with a phone in ur pocket, they don't need your camera to track you. That and just about every intersection has a camera on it. The network to track you has so many more data points than my ring camera. They track every penny you spend, where you work, where you buy groceries, the porn you watch. Yea my camera is contributing to mass surveillance, but as long as you own a cell phone getting rid of your ring camera isn't going to help you the way you might think. If you want to stop mass surveillance you need to boondock on public lands. Once you own anything and get connected to the internet, it's game over!

  • Shit the sub 1$ drive through meals were the shit. I remember being hungry and being able to crape through my floors and center console for a handful of quarters and cheffing up a mcgangbang off the mcdanks 1$ menu. When fast food was actually cheap instead of costing what a real meal at a burger shop would be. We didn't know how good we had it when Obama was in office.

  • I had just moved from Texas to RI as my father took a severance package from the military. We went from a family of 6 surviving on one military paycheck, to my father making almost 4x what he made in the military as a professor. When we moved north I remember my parents talking about how the house they got was twice as expensive as the house we lived in in Texas, so you can imagine my surprise when we got there and it was almost half of the size! My father being a professor ment my mother, and us 4 kids had the opportunity to attend higher education. Our lives changed a lot! No more moving every 2-3 years, things were tight being 2008 but not near as tight as we were used to.

  • Right and what are they gonna do with the information that I am or aren't home? That I got oil delivered? That some random prick was banging on my door a few weeks ago? It's on the front of my house covering my driveway and the street. Anybody can hop on Google maps and see what my camera sees right now lmfao. Like I said I'd never get one in my back yard or in my house, but I'd rather have big brothers eyes on my driveway than none! And my mom was born in Venezuela so let ice pull up they'll see what the 2nd A is for.

  • The only thing worse than giving info to Amazon, is having no security for your home. I have a ring camera that was a gift from my previous employer when I moved states and I'm very glad to have it. It faces my street, where anybody can see anyways so privacy is not a concern. I'd never put ring cameras inside or in the rear of my house, and would rather not use ring but given what a life saver it has been since i bought my house several times, i will not be doin without until I can replace with a offline system. But being able to check in at work is nice, and any security is better than no security. Hell just bolting an old cctv camera to the side of your house without hooking it up is better than nothing.

  • Americans are paying more than ever for cars. Cheap models are disappearing

    Jump

  • Yes they can, but most (let's use Subaru for example) said they had life time fluid despite having a replaceable filter, as they don't give a shit if it grenades at 100k miles cuz if it's out of warranty you have to buy a transmission from them! They later back tracked and said oh yea actually u should service your transmission. And this isn't just a cvt issue, bmw was doing the filled for life crap back in the early 2000s. Automatic transmissions are hydrolic devices, and any hydrolic device is only as good as it's hydrolic fluid.

  • Cars today are simply not more reliable. I have drug a 48 Willy's out of a barn that had been sitting for decades, adjusted the points and drained the fuel and put in new. Marvel mystery oil down the plug holes and bar by hand to ensure not seized and cleaned out the carb and she fired right up. Old cars may require more frequent service due to old mechanical systems, but they will far outlive anything made in the last 20 years. Automobile reliability peaked between 1990 and 2005 or so, anything made after is over complex (think can bus, one frayed wire and ur cars whole network goes down and immobilized you) and anything earlier still needs frequent attention yet very robust in design. Long service intervals =/= reliability, their just making them disposables after 100k miles now. See: low tension piston rings, cvt transmissions, "lifetime" fluids (no such thing...), carbon issues on intake valves and engine internals from direct injection and overstated service intervals to keep projected ownership costs down, oh I could go on and write a book about how new cars ain't shit.

  • We have been propping u domestic car manufacturers since they started making cars domestically. Pretty rich for a "capitalist free market" if you ask me. I forget we don't get to be part of socialist America if we aren't billionaires...

  • Car prices were on the rise long before the tarrif crap. Yes the tariffs continue to make it worse, but this was a trend already! As long as people are willing to pay 50 grand for a rav4 with leather seats they will continue to pump their numbers up. I know VERY few people that drove a car more than 10 years old, their afraid it will break down on them when the reality is their newest 700$ /mo POS techno trash on wheels will be dead long before my 87 gives up the ghost.

  • Honestly, I love having a w11 rig AND a laptop with zorin and a laptop with w10 and a old all in one with mint. Variety is the spice of life, I need a Windows laptop to tune my cars ecus. Simply not able to do it in Linux, but my Linux laptop has stuff my windows doesn't. Real ones can't just live with one os B)

  • The support is getting better by the minute! I do think steam os has helped catapult Linux ahead from where it was just 5 years ago in terms of hardware support

  • I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows

  • No kidding! I never feel like I have enough time, always feel like I'm behind on all my projects and spreading myself thin. When I had less money and less projects and didn't own a house I played so much more video games and messed around Linux installing new distro every couple weeks on my old rigs or laptops that had fallen into my lap. Now my times all tied up with all the messes I have gotten myself into, speaking of which I should probably be putting the new exhaust fan in my bathroom that's been sitting new in the box for 6 months or something instead of fucking off in the fediverse :'(

  • No kidding! W11 and w10 always worked with all of my printers (Canon) out of the box, once the printer was connected to WiFi they always just picked them up and worked! Last time I tried to get a cheap wifi card (Linksys) to work on Ubuntu however, not so lucky lol.

  • I'm white and I caught that shit almost 20 years ago because I was in an ESL program (despite English being my native tongue) because I moved to the states from Italy. Mind you I lived in USA before that and am natural born citizen, just father was stationed in Italy so I lived there for 3 years. Moved to USA in time for 2nd grade so had never been in an American school system yet. Mother is an immigrant sure but they didn't even know that, just saw me in the "Mexican kids class" and struggling with reading and spelling so I was one of "them". Mind you I'm talking about early elementary school, so kids just parroting and learning what their parents say at home. I can only imagine what darker skin people have to deal with from racist pricks raising racist children.
