This is real?!? When I first heard about this, I thought it was a joke.

Win 11 is the reason I finally decided to switch. My work gave us all Win 11 machines and I hate it.

Fortunately I don’t do too much on my computer besides gaming so Steam can do all the heavy lifting for me

I built a new gaming PC and installed Linux on it. After years of threatening to do it, I finally followed through and made the switch.

Isn’t that essentially the plot to The Langoliers?

I need you to rephrase all news to make it not so depressing.

How about they publicly warn about it as well as follow up with some criminal charges. We have systems in place to stop all of this but it requires the officials to grow a spine and actually use them.

The app I use to browse Lemmy doesn’t show banners so I never noticed but once I pulled it up in browser I agree 100%. That’s a really bad banner.

Apparently CEOs like living more than they like making money.

I would say that the issue is not who is doing the pardoning but who is being pardoned. There’s a clear difference between Hunter being pardoned and Russian assets being pardoned.

If the past is any indicator of the future then we can expect the next four years to be non-stop Trump posting.

The real problem is that these people get away with it. There are no consequences to their actions. If no one is going to hold them accountable then it’s not just a belief they have, they really are above the law.

I imagine what they’re trying to contain are angry Puerto Ricans living in the US from going out and voting. The higher the voter turnout is, the greater the chance of Harris winning. Making Democrats angry enough to actually go out and vote is definitely something the Republicans want to contain.

Not sure when things changed but all I know is that when I bought mine years ago the Kobo site redirected me to Walmart and that’s where I had to buy it. My e-reader even displays the Walmart logo on it when I power it off.

Kobo was sold exclusively through Walmart in the US (at least when I bought my Kobo). I think they recently ended the partnership.

The joke is so obvious there’s no need to comment on it so others, including myself, are using this as an opportunity to post our opinions on the difference between sci-fi and fantasy.

I would argue that science fiction and fantasy are the same thing and the only difference is the explanation for how all the cool stuff works.

Functionally, there’s no real difference between a portal that takes the characters to another world using a wormhole and one that does it through through magic. Just like how there’s no difference between Vulcans/Klingons/Wookies and Elves/Dwarves/Beastmen. Both are intelligent non-humans.

They think when the chaos hits they’ll be the ones climbing the ladder instead of the ones being used as a ladder.

That’s what I’m hoping for as well. The Switch is a great console and the only thing it really needs is upgraded hardware.

Her quote never really felt that outrageous. She wasn’t even calling all Trump supporters “deplorable”. Here’s her quote

“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?” Clinton said. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.” She said the other half of Trump’s supporters “feel that the government has let them down” and are “desperate for change.” “Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well,” she said.
