@Demolishun I don't believe that they did that, but oh boy do I believe they exploited the hell out of it. like with covid, I don't believe it was made in a lab, but I believe it was used as an excuse to test a lot of mass control strategies.

@SoldierOfCode the difference is that they _tried_ and not succeeded in most jurisdictions. US didn't even bother to ask their citizens -- they just went for it, succeeded, and then won the cultural war as well by making what CIA does socially acceptable as long as it's CIA who's doing that.

@Demolishun I heard that microbiome was important and even affected mental health, but mine straight up became sentient. When I don't eat, I indeed don't go #2, and I don't feel bloated at all, but should I DARE to eat something, no matter how little, even one bite, and my gut goes like LETS FUCKING GOOOO, and I gotta RUN to the bathroom

@devJs I'll either buy a membrane keyboard, or a hall effect keychron. hall effect switches are supposed to be eternal

@Demolishun btw, formats mean nothing. If "memes" contain CP, ppl who post them _should_ be jailed.

@retoor heaven.

@hjk101 here, fixed it for ya

@Demolishun uk is if windows was made by amazon

@jestdotty govt will bail it out

Wired Always Wins. I went all wired a while ago

@Demolishun isn't it funny how the kind of surveillance they have on hand can definitely prevent 95% of CP production, and yet nothing is being done? I guess it's hard to fight CP as a FBI/CIA officer when those who pay you are big CP consumers themselves

@Demolishun comparing apple to microsoft in terms of spying on users is like contemplating whether you'd like to be shot with a 9mm or a 7,62x39. Sure, 9mm probably sucks less, but you're still being shot. If you ask me, I would prefer to... y'know, not get shot at all? :D

@donkulator oh, all that snitch culture shenanigans... so funny to me as a russian. our propaganda loves to say "look, they snitch on each other for mundane things"...

when people snitch on you in switzerland, govt fines you. when they snitch on you in russia, govt cops abduct you, then connect electrodes to your earlobes and keep rotating the field telephone crank until you confess to god knows what

angular increases complexity. complexity demands more people, more people mean more jobs, more jobs mean better economy. angular is good for the economy.

what 10 idiots broke requires 100 idiots to fix. what 100 idiots broke requires 1000 idiots to fix. what 1000 idiots broke requires 10,000 idiots to fix. and not a single idiot is fixing things, they're just adding more bugs. an ouroboros of terrible code that keeps the economy going

@antigermanist how does it enable smooth scrolling in browser? By the way, all of those shortcut actions are configurable in KDE

@retoor kde supports pinch to zoom in browsers, xfce doesn't

kde supports smooth scrolling

kde supports off-screen bouncing when scrolling in browsers

kde supports autoscrolling

kde supports fractional screen scaling that isn't blurry

those are reasons why I switched from xfce to kde. I tried every env under the sun

@angerydev name one app from standard Debian KDE installation that has that out of the box

@iiii I didn't like cinnamon env

@Lensflare

@BordedDev the word "no" knows no position and no allegiance. it's universal

@retoor working on it too. constantly.

it's a digital bonsai -- bonsai doesn't like haste. it's also an art project made to prove a point. it will be done when it's done.

@SoldierOfCode all models are wrong, but some are useful. I think that distracting ourselves with whether the almighty entity exists prevents us from examining entities that, in practice, just as almighty to us

@jestdotty your bad experience with applying the tactic says more about the recipients than the tactic

@Demolishun for bonus points, fuck up the lens of your main webcam.

@retoor I never read Harry Potter.

Just say "no", and don't explain. Explanations can be picked apart, but the word "no" can't. Works every time. If they ask "why not?" just don't answer.

@galena cars are the dominant species on this planet! No other species influenced the world quite as much.

@ANTIASYLUMIST so Bluetooth never worked for you on Debian?

@ANTIASYLUMIST
> plug
> bluetooth

Wait till you realize that Pirates of the Caribbean were released 22 years ago
