  • I love these “millenial” memes because you can always tell about how old the meme maker is.

    There are millenials that are in their mid 40s, and there are zoomers that are almost 30. Assuming they were just going for a round number, the creator could have said 50, 45 or 40. But no, they chose 35, presumably because they are around 35.


  • To the people saying it’s a skin color/race issue: yes, but also no. The people who put the authoritarians in power did so for reasons of deeply ingrained racism, and the power hungry narcissists gleefully abused their supporters’ easily manipulated fear of PoC to amass more power, but…

    Just like every other clique, cult and fascist regime, it’s really just about creating an in-group and an out-group. The important thing is that to the brainwashed in-group, the group’s membership seems immutable, but to everyone else (including the cult’s leaders) it’s clear that membership is entirely contingent on favor. That’s why ICE has been given the power to deport anyone and everyone, but is not doing so: it’s about maintaining control.

    Which is all to say that the deportations don’t end with eugenics. Even if the nazis remove every last person who fails the skin color check—or is just too recently descended from “non-whites” (the moving goalpost)—the deportations will continue. Just make yourself an enemy of the regime and they’ll figure out a way to brand you “an illegal” regardless of skin color or race or ethnicity or heritage; their supporters will bend over backwards to believe the lies, and their opposition will stage peaceful protests and wring their hands about “law” and “constitution” to no avail.




  • I’ve tried KDE on both Debian and Fedora. Neither have allowed me to do what I want to do: add a secondary storage device to my steam library. Whenever I try to, it just pops up a separate Dolphin window that doesn’t affect steam once a folder is selected (almost like it’s a separate process and not a child process of Steam).

    The flatpak works, but 1. Ew; 2. It runs steam on Xwayland; 3. Being a debian nerd, I want to be as much of a <default package manager> purist as possible to make life easier down the road

    I’ll switch once this is fixed, but I just gotta stick with Gnome until it is




  • Never heard of him, but if he’s like Bernie, I’ll endorse that.

    I’m sort of assuming that this comment can be aimed at me, which I think is accurate

    Nope, just responding to OP. I fit 3 of the items on their list, 5 depending on who you ask, and I take exception to having my issues with the party that’s supposed to represent my interests dismissed as “maga cuckoo infiltration.”

    If it is as you say, then that sounds like bad faith actors posing as 3rd party alright. People will do anything to get you sucked into engagement to drain you and keep you from being productive. I guess reminding everyone of that is a public service
