Everyone feels like the economy sucks. But stock buybacks and ai have been great for the 1% who have the means to manipulate the stock market. Everyone else should just buy less avocado toast or something, I guess.

Honestly, this article, like many other articles just like it, is just gaslighting.

Too much responsibility, too many expectations. Even when I’m not working I feel it. I need a long vacation.

The DNC actively funds the most far-right, Trumpy candidates of the Republican party. It’s on opensecrets.org

Biden’s horrible handling of the genocide will be his undoing. If I had to bet, I’d bet on Trump, because this country is too god damned brainwashed to vote, as I will, for De La Cruz.

Nice. Take that, adware installers! Web exploits and phishing are still (minor) risks though, since they’re mostly platform agnostic.

That’s fair – it’s not great for your lungs if it’s smoked/vaped.

I was thinking of the other entheogens, but I admit those are harder to get a hold of because of our backwards and frankly, racist drug laws.

My back pain is returning. It woke me up at 5am, so I’m having an early day today. On the plus side, that meant a nice sunrise breakfast with the wifey. Overall I feel like I have a lot to be thankful for, but the state of the world and especially the thought of election day 2024 makes me feel uneasy. I try not to think about it.

there’s nothing wrong with getting high every now and again – as long as it’s with one of the good drugs and not the ones that can ruin your life

Sounds like a lot of hot air coming from the guy who bypassed congress to float an extra $106,000,000 so the IDF can use more guns and bombs on civilians.

I used to be a vote blue no matter who, afraid of Trump fascism, but a statement must be made that this is not okay.

This would have been helpful in, like, 2014, but better late than never I suppose. Interestingly, a recent skeptoid episode covered a similar topic

nomachine works well in my experience; it’s pretty straightforward to set up. And it offers nice performance. It’s free (as in beer), but it is proprietary software – they make their $$ selling enterprise features on their website.

I taught myself some shell scripting and unix commands after being gifted an iMac running 10.3. I then decided I wanted to fully immerse myself, so I dual booted that thing with OpenBSD.

The installer back then was pretty barebones; I used a scientific calculator to set up the partitions. After install I was dropped into a root shell and had to recompile the kernel to apply the latest system patches, then set up my user account, sudo, and bootstrap the package installer.

Getting the latest Firefox meant compiling it from scratch, which took about a week. Setting up flash involved configuring a Linux emulation layer. It worked on most sites, but not others.

I began pining for the binary updates, native flash support, and huge package libraries available in Linux, not to mention the cool wobbly window cube that compiz fusion offered, so I made the jump to Linux.

I’ve switched distros and even switched to other unix-likes, but in the end Linux won for me.

Didn’t know about the forward party – thanks!

It’s not enough. It’s better than nothing, but it’s not enough.

reddit has noticeably gone downhill since then, and it already wasn’t great.

We need more alternative candidates for congressional seats. I would love to see the current body get replaced.

It makes me feel sick that Biden is sending more money to Israel, with no conditions, knowing that all of that money will be used for genocide.

It’s also upsetting (but not surprising) to see so many Israel apologists on social media.
