As an outsider, I don’t blame the people who voted for him the first time but the second time? Nope. People had a choice to be less gullible because there was evidence that he is not fit to lead: felony charges, nepotism, incompetence, derangement etc.

It’s cognitive dissonance from the top down.

HACK THE PLANET!

I don’t believe that.

It’s likely because the market has consolidated to a small number of companies who can dictate the means of production and how their consumers interact with their product.

When the personal computer market was young, entries from all sorts of manufacturers flooded in. Some failed, some succeeded. Everything had to be configured by the user because universal standards hadn’t been developed yet. This allowed for some people to be exposed to the back end, which have them some understanding of how their technology worked. It enhanced problem solving skills.

If anything, 'Plug and Play" probably had more involvement in enshittification than Google. Taking out the problem solving and moving the goal to consumption.

MADness.

Hopefully someone drops him beforehand.

Ohoho… I have seen those rules and having visited both California and Texas last year, I can safely say that I don’t want any of that where I live. California was marginally better than Texas though but not by much.

It was insane to me that it was a 3hr public bus ride to NASA, and that included a 20 minute walk from where the bus drops you off.

…And those Stepford Wives-like suburban hellscapes with nothing but roads and freeways for miles.

Madness.

This almost reads like teenage high school drama. Queen Bee giving silent treatment after subpar birthday bash.

I actually saw a shop that developed film the other day in my local area. Genuinely surprised and delighted me. Got a brief trip through time and space to nostalgia land where I was constantly being told off for taking photos of landscape.

That’s why you need public funding to support and nourish the industry. We’ve got that in our state where we can get grants to start up studios. This allowed for studios such as Massive Monster to be created.

VC funding isn’t great because they can pull out if the project or investment doesn’t suit them. See League of Geeks.

My hard line opinion is that roads are dead spaces. There is no opportunity for anything to grow or flourish; this includes things like community. More roads = more dead space.

If you want to activate a space, i.e. bring community back, reduce road space. And, of course, with reduced road space you need to counter balance with better infrastructure for other modes of transport to get people moving to and from.

Basic town planning! Looking at you… Local council…

I’m a few months into Linux Mint on my gaming PC and love it; 99% of my games work. The only one that doesn’t so far is FiveM but that’s because the devs appear to be very anti-linux unless you’re hosting a server.

Yeah but my W10 shoved a giant full screen ad telling me to get rid of my PC and get a new one with W11 twice. Support might be ending but if it constantly nags you to upgrade, that’s just BS.

Do you not get mental health days?

My guess is that the American working system has drained so much from their working population that leashes are required because they have no energy left to pay full attention to their children.

Did we? My scientific search the other night proves that false, and I’m not on VPN.

Our right leaning is more in line with your Dems, though.

Makes me mad, though, seeing that cunt pop one off like that. Bring him down here and he can do a 1v1 fisticuff against our red kangaroo. That’ll learn him.

I don’t think that’s what they meant. Ok -> acknowledgement that it’s shit that the journalist also got shot.

If it’s any consolation, most of us not from the US know your system doesn’t work for the people and deliberately makes it difficult for people like yourself to contribute to your country’s democracy.

In my country, if you deliberately choose not to vote, you get fined.

Who’s to say that they’re not doing both?

I sometimes go on these critical mass rides and I am heavily involved in the local council meetings here when they discuss infrastructure. Unfortunately, you have to be squeaky wheel in order to get the grease.

Yeah, people are trying to get home etc. But it’s a minor inconvenience compared to cycling on bad infrastructure.

Because of the desire for infinite growth. The line must go up 💹
