See what happens when we allow unrestricted freedom of speech?
Our "freedoms" aren't as freeing as people think they are. I realize how dangerous that sounds, but I mean, here we are on the cusp of fascism because we allowed these horrible people to say whatever they wanted to the point where people started believing them. There has to be a standard that we hold speech up to.
Rich, privileged white people are free to do anything. The rest of us are oppressed, beaten, and thrown in prison unless we obey.
Also the fact Bitcoin is essentially a pyramid scheme. Get more people into it to artificially inflate its value, take the profits, leave everyone else with diminished value, build it up again, get rich, repeat forever.
Crypto should be illegal.
Windows and Mac rendering have always been ugly as sin to me and I vastly prefer Linux font displays. They always look cleaner and less processed.
Why.
To hell with anything using this AI garbage. Apparently I'm going to have to completely stop using computers because all these idiot companies are using this trash technology that just steals from other sites and presents it as its own. Time to move on from DDG.
Id Tech 1 (Doom) source has been available since 1997 under a restrictive license and under the GPL since 1999, so not "recently". But yeah, that's my answer. Original Doom.
How about winget or the other commandline package managers? winget does have VLC according to winget-pkgs. This is the kind of "stores" we need, ones that emulate Linux repositories instead of locked down smartphone garbage.
I have very recently after rallying against it for years. It seems like there has been a concentrated effort lately to get it working really well, which I only have to say "about damn time" after they've been advocating it for over a decade and it still was a buggy pile of garbage at that point. Plasma seems to have done a load of work getting Wayland stable lately, and with the latest Plasma6, I'm happy with it. There's some weirdness here and there but I can handle a little bit of problems vs. my entire system slowing to a crawl and then crashing after a day or two reliably when running Wayland vs. Xorg which ran fine even semi-recently.
Article promotes fucking 5G home internet but in the article states "[t]he only fix they had was splitting the cost of a Verizon 5G router with a roommate, but that was also too slow to be usable most of the time" before they go into their gushing about how these 5G home internet solutions are the savior of all.
Paid advertisements for shit services can't even keep from bad-mouthing these shit services. Technology is so fucked over by all these greedy corporations selling garbage solutions to suckers.
All about money. Instead of making good, solid, real games that don't take up 999 wtfabytes in textures and other graphical bling with other gimmicky crap even further bloating it, we get style over substance crap that gives these rich-ass console makers more and more excuses to crank out yet another iteration of their "NEW! 0.00001% BETTER THAN THE PREVIOUS GENERATION!" dead-ass consoles that should have died long ago when PC gaming took over -- not because PC graphics are better, but because PCs can do more and do EVERYTHING better.
Gaming is in a sad state right now and people don't even realize it. I honestly think if people would force themselves to see what old (80s and very early 90s) gaming offers and understand the difference in good games and style over substance trash, they'd understand how much of a clusterfuck modern gaming is. Sure, there's a small handful of good titles floating around these days, but nowhere near the amount and quality of gaming in, say, the NES days where there are more high quality games on that single console than there has been on every console in the last 15 or so years.
And I know modern gamers are going to cry about this post. Too bad. Has to be said.
You don't turn right on red when there are pedestrians in the way. Banning right on red is not a solution to people breaking the law in the first place.
Exactly. Countries are crying over this birth rate drop because of bullshit "BUT THE ECONOMY AND THE OLD PEOPLE AND RICH PEOPLE" excuses. Global population needs to drop, now. People will say "but we're not overcrowded, we're fine", yet we're seeing so many problems with the climate, distribution of goods and services, and so on that is directly caused by our current population levels.
Stop having kids, or at least only have one. Fix this world.
