Not everything done so far has been legal and there are multiple ongoing cases suing Trump’s actions. Book bans, healthcare, and anti-trans legislation are the first that come to mind. People and organizations (e.g. ACLU) in positions of power are trying to stand up for the common person where they can. If I had more money I’d donate to them.

unfortunately this is not free on GOG right now, just 75% off. I see this a UK community though so maybe it is free, but only in UK?

they love the poorly educated

I’ve also seen people turning to Mastodon for fundraising. Kinda wish the headline would say “social media” in general instead of just insta and tiktok but the point gets across. Shit is fucked.

I’ve been using Showly a couple months now and it’s not so much the trakt features that bother me it’s the fact i can’t backup or import/export a csv file or something i could store in a cloud. I’d rather take a year or two to teach myself how to fork the app and add what i want than ever sign up for another service.

another +1 for Heroic. Lutris never worked for me, would only install games but not launch them, and I’m not skilled enough to figure out why. Almost certainly something specific to my setup. But Heroic makes things easy-peasy.

And yeah, if Heoric doesn’t work for some reason, Bottles usually will.

I have PopOS on one old HP notebook and Fedora with KDE Plasma on another. I barely use the touch screen capabilities but when I do I haven’t had any problems on either. Smooth all around, at least for my uses.

ah I see what you’re saying, more efficient ways to get the same data. Makes sense. Thanks for explaining.

I understand completely. It’s happened to me too many times now to be a coincidence. For a while there whenever I talked to myself “alone” I would sometimes pretend I was also talking to LaMDA, the AI. Now I know it’s probably not LaMDA. But it’s not outside the scope of possibility for Google or Meta to be listening 24/7 if it’s an AI overseeing the panopticon.

I said it has happened to me mulitple times, and I have done experiments. I have given the listeners false information to see if and when it will spread. I have seen whole products pop up out of nowhere in nearby stores because of this. I have seen shitty half-assed tv shows and movies suddenly show up on billboards, as if with only an understanding of the bullet points of my overall speech, and even then with the shaky understanding of an AI trying to fill in the blanks.

Only thing I can think to suggest (that hasn’t been suggested already) is to purposely poison the well by sometimes loading it with falsities for obscuration.

The last edit in the history (“it was nothing really”) is grammatically incorrect and it’s killing me

anyone else watch Nexpo and think about KinitoPET? nope nope nope…
