No, and I’m sure the various OS’s that have been made by Governments have their (sometimes severe) flaws. But it is a potential solution to government reliance on corporate technologies nevertheless.

Yeah, Oracle.

I have a weird take whenever stuff like this comes up but its in my humble opinion that world governments shouldn’t rely on corporate developed software or even maybe hardware.

This is definitely hindsight is always 20/20 sort of thinking but governments should have long ago realized that trusting the likes of Intel, Microsoft, Oracle, etc. would leave them reliant on their innovations and also subject to their whims, mistakes, and more.

Basically I’m saying World governments all need their own internal OS developed and maintained internally by an official subdivision of said governments, and maybe even a separate branch developing internally utilized hardware.

Never gonna happen, and I’m sure there are issues with this solution, but its a hypothetical I think about whenever something tech related and the government comes up in the news, which is pretty much every day now.

Sadly this just means Trump wasn’t far right enough for them. They’ll listen to whichever Nazi sounds “bout right” to them next and it’ll just go on and on like this until…

Hey look, it’s a miracle. A sack of shit has started to speak!

Oh…wait…it’s just Andrew Tate, my mistake.

Why has nobody cleaned that thing off the surface of the Earth yet?

Its another Lost, we’ll be saying that for every season, lol.

I love Severance, but it’s obvious every season is going to end with an escalating series of increasingly higher stakes and further down the rabbit hole questions.

I’m here for it, but I also have to admit there’s a level of dissatisfaction I find myself in when engaging with this style of show writing. All I can say is I hope the ending wraps it all up nicely.

As far as Ben Stiller leaving the show, we’ll have to see if the other writers can pull it off, of which I’m fairly confident they can. Ben wrote some great episodes, but IIRC there were great episodes all around with all their writers, so I have no worries the series will remain high quality.

Just use LibRedirect extension to redirect to an invidious instance. Take the URL of the video you want to watch and download the video using yt-dlp. Watch it on your desktop using mpv.

On Android, use Newpipe or Tubular Fork of Newpipe to download video. Better yet, use Seal with Sponsorblock flags to download and watch without sponsor mentions. Watch using mpv.

On iOS, use Brave browser…

I’ve been using IronFox since it came out and I don’t think it has been out for 2 years yet… are you thinking of Mull from which it was forked when DivestOS stop being maintained?

Also, I’ve been using Librewolf since its early days too, and their updates are always only 1 to 2 days behind an updated Firefox. I know cuz ai update daily on my Artix Linux machine and have both browsers. Whenever Firefox is updated its usually the same day or a day later that Librewolf is also updated to the same version number.

I get the concern, but honestly the Librewolf devs have proven themselves at keeping pace with the upstream for quite a few years now. Hopefully the Ironfox devs can do the same.

Damn, Microsoft rolling out the “Fuck You” hits lately. Allowing hate speech against Transgender people on LinkedIn, and now this shit on Github, not even mentioning the absolute bullshit their Desktop is these days.

Never been a better time to be eying alternatives. Fuck you Github CEO, fuck you LinkedIn, fuck you Microsoft, and fuck you Satya Nadella! 🖕🖕🖕🖕

Been using this for years. Followed them from Github to Gitlab to now GitFlic. There are ways you can get the filter list to work with Ublock Origin, but this extension is more consistent. Bless magnolia1234 for continually keeping this gem up to date.

Many in the past, but the most recent is Project Zomboid. That game would quickly take away decades of my life if I let it.

Exactly.

The easiest thing to do is make friends with plenty of people IRL through a shared hobby or interest. Those that are interested in being FWB will make themselves apparent over time. Just be honest and when appropriate, let people know you’re DTF, but not looking for anything more than sex right now.

There aren’t many people not looking for long term monogomous committed relationships. There might even be none in your area depending on your age and other factors. But that’s the best advice I can give on the matter.

EDIT: I know you said dating apps and IRL aren’t working for you right now, but honestly, there really are only two places to find people: online and IRL, so my advice still stands.

“Man dies from dehydration while defecating on former President Donald Trump’s grave. Friends say man intentionally consumed many McDonald’s Hamburgers and bottles of laxatives prior to death.”

Heliboard does have emojis. You may not have the key enabled in your settings. Its a toggle under the Preferences menu.

That’s because Power Users on Windows tend to avoid the terminal like the plague. You cannot do that on Linux.

Pile on the Trump hate while you can, folks. Really push the Narcissist to die of a heart attack any day now.

Keep on shoveling those stress McDs Donnie, you sure you can’t stomach just a few dozen more? How about some bacon? I hear the Epstein files are getting released. That stressing you out? Your ol’ ticker feeling that strain as it struggles to pump oxygen to your single remaining brain cell? Good Donnie, good. I’ll need the address of your tombstone BTW, gotta know where the bathroom I’m gonna use for the rest of my life is.

Don’t worry Donnie, I’ll be sure to be right next to you in Hell watching you burn and scream. I can’t think of a better way to spend my eternal afterlife than watching you suffer.

I know I’m a misanthrope because I don’t find any silver lining in this truth.

Meh, I peaked late, so 30 was like I turned 25. It felt awesome. Now when you turn 40…well…I’m sure its different for everybody, but I definitely no longer felt young when that hit.

Only advice I have is stay as active as you can mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually. It all adds up. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been like “Oh fuck you past me!” And also “Good job past me!” depending on the situation. So try and do right by your future self today if you can.

What the actual fuck kind of society let’s a proven in a court of law rapist pay a financial settlement and walk free? Oh right, I forgot, we’re all dead and in Hell. Silly fucking me.
