This is gonna be so good. I loved the first season.

I wish the video were of that crowd bashing that person’s brains in.

I dunno, man. Texas is a human rights violator through their prison system. I imagine it won’t be a picnic.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Agreed. Handing over personal info is not unlike handing the wrong person a loaded gun.

@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Also, the big tech bastards haven’t managed to kill off emulation, so that’s encouraging.

Same.

I actually keep a small amount of TP in my briefcase for when it has to happen.

Sounds awesome.

Might have been a bad idea to just let the bots run rampant on his platform.

This is a great thing.

There need to be material consequences for Nazism.

I’ve been on Linux Mint for two weeks now AND I LOVE IT. It feels like computing from back in 2010, just the way I like it.

It’s glorious, and as more people are driven off Windows by MS’s shady practices, Linux is only going to get better and better.

Hi there.

And no. I haven’t been aske dto pay for any updates.

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back (www.windowscentral.com)

It’s a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

That’s usually what I think too, but after watching how Twitter’s gone to shit since the two big user departures, I think this could legitimately affect Microsoft’s bottom line.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Yup. It’ll depend on how they handle Recall at the institutional level.

It’s a given that hospitals and law firms will have to turn it off, as they’re required by law to honor privilege. We’ll see what choices they make.

I find the nosedive in Twitter’s stock price these last few years encouraging. It seems for many there is a red line.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Respectfully, it’s not.

The user departures, and response to further enshittify, have driven their stock price into the ground.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

That’s definitely going to be a problem for them, yes, because it’s also going to drive a ton of traffic to Linux and Linux is going to get even better.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

They say that every election year.

Don’t just sign a petition.

Delete your facebook and instagram.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Nice!

I did not, though my facebook is deleted now. I just got sick of how it was making me miserable every time I opened it, so a year ago I nuked it.

I still have an instagram for my business, but once I have Cara up and running, I’m going to delete all the content there as well.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Same, doing what I can within my own little slice of the world.

I actually switched to Linux Mint two weeks ago and do 95% of my computing on that OS. (And ANYTHING requiring privacy) I’m a gamer, so I opted for a dual boot, and the only thing I use windows for is playing my games now.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Glad to hear it!

For me it’s been hit or miss. I’m fairly tech savvy and able to work through things with the info on Proton DB, but I’ve had several games that just simply weren’t compatible.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Yup.

My last flight a year ago was so bad I’m just going to drive from now on. I don’t care if I have to take an extra day of PTO.

Don't you all get tired of the constant negativity?

Despite not subscribing to political communities and having a large number of content filters based on keywords, my feed here is still for a large part all negative articles and ragebait. Elon Musk this and Israel that. Microsoft ruining windows, AI ruining internet, right wingers and capitalism ruining the world, police being...

@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Of course.

I just turn off my socials for a bit and it’s all good.

Yes you can, and should, ignore how crummy the world is sometimes. Outside of the good you can do with your own two hands, there’s nothing you can do to change it unless you’re a billionaire and a legislator will actually take your phone calls.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

After watching how similar business practices torched Twitter, I think this dude is underestimating the general public’s commitment to just sail the high seas.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Yup. All the big guys will enshittify.

Luckily, there’s Linux and you can use Brave or Firefox.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Christ, that’s so horrific to consider, all around.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

There’s no ‘want’ to it.

They already have. Idaho got away with criminalizing abortion, which means 2/3 of the states will do the same next session, just like how 2/3 of the states still allow for you to be paid $7 an hour.

In the absence of a true opposition party, the wolves are feasting.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

That’s the thing.

You used to be able to count on Democrats to fight for social issues, at least. The Dems we have now are only concerned with increasing their own wealth, and that was very well-evidenced by their response to the Roe vs Wade leaks. Do you recall their response? They used it to fundraise and did nothing else. ($80,000,000 was the cost of your rights to bodily autonomy, in case you’re curious.)

And now 2/3 of the states will get away with criminalizing abortion within another year or two, tops.

I remember when, in his first SOTU, Joe Biden mocked the Defund The Police movement, and called for increased police funding, even though the police are overtly fascist in most of the country and we all had just watched them proudly execute a man in the streets.

Now he’s sending more bombs to Israel.

If you’re telling yourself the Dems are the answer, I think you’re just asleep at the wheel here.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Not unlike all the excuses we’re seeing for genocide now that it’s Biden shipping the bombs over to Israel.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

I only switched this week, and I kinda disagree with the meme.

It’s both.

I’m only dual booting because I’m a gamer and some games only run on Windows.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Yep, I know. I have to log into Windows to manage the files on my Huawei tablet.

That’s okay. I can do 99% of what I want on Linux without Microsoft snooping on me.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, about half of my library already runs on Linux.

The problem I have now is that, soon, I’m gonna want to do a reinstall so Linux can have more disk space. :) My PC’s pretty fast, so the reboot doesn’t really bug me all that much.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Sounds awesome. I average 12k steps a day, might as well do so while enjoying a fun game. :)

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

It is remarkably silly to go to a Madonna show and then complain about sexual themes.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

It’s so weird to read a positive headline. :)

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

So what you’re saying is that you’re a-okay with fascism and genocide, provided it wears a blue jersey?

FlashMobOfOne , (edited )
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

I’m shouting into the void and I know it. Nothing I do or say will change anything.

I can look at the last 40 years and be astonished at how little American voters care about their own welfare, and rest assured that the election in November will likely be 49% to 49%, because for some reason they all are just exceptionally well-programmed to vote for the candidates that the wealthy want them to vote for. All of them are poorer now, both economically and socially, than they were even just ten years ago. They can see with their own two eyes that they get poorer no matter which party we elect, and it doesn’t stop them from voting solely on team color anyway.

Hell, the Democrats had Marianne Williamson, an anti-war, pro-living wage, pro-universal health care candidate who can actually form a coherent thought in their primary. They decided overwhelmingly that they wanted the old, addled warmonger to be their president, even though he’s done nothing meaningful to try and fix their poverty, opting to spend his time keeping his scumbag son out of prison and the war money flowing to other countries.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

I see a whole lot of excuses flying form Democrats to try and distract from the fact that they’re voting for Genocide Joe in November.

This thread is littered with them.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

As if you’d ever diverge from your partisan programming.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

That’s okay. Thanks and god bless.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

If your reflexive response is: “But they suck too!” you should realize it’s not the fantastic defense you think it is.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

No.

The bombs are the result of Democrats in the White House and Congress, seeing as how they’re the ones in power and they support arming a genocidal apartheid. What people write on them isn’t of any real consequence to me. I’m angry about the fact that we’re still sending them weapons.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

The evil of the right is self-evident.

But I count it more evil to pretend one is progressive and then do exactly the same things the right-wing people are doing.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

You will never see me say ‘Let’s go Brandon’.

Genocide Joe is an appropriate nickname though. Joe’s done everything he can to earn it.

FlashMobOfOne , (edited )
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Not at all.

Democrats, by and large, don’t accept any criticism of their party, preferring instead to make excuses or feign powerlessness on the part of their elected officials. (They share that trait with Republicans, in fact.)

And then an instance happens where having the same position as the Republicans means you either have to accept genocide or pretend in your head that you’re still morally superior while the president you want us all to vote for sends the weapons over to make it happen.

It’s like that meme with the red button. Your cognitive dissonance is impressive.
