Ah, that makes much more sense. Going back to double check things, I article I saw user the wording “he banned them at the inauguration”, which I understood as “during his inauguration, he signed a bylaw which banned raspberry pi devices”.

Thanks for the correction!

I believe he banned raspberry pi devices, which is dumb.

Edit: they were banned from an event, not banned in general.

I willingly learned excel in the past 15 years!

I have since moved on to open source replacements.

Peter Thiel

A right-wing billionaire who is responsible for a lot modern evils, but he sometimes likes to pull the “I’m not evil or racist, I am gay, so I can’t be”.

You may have heard of Facebook, or Palantir, or JD Vance.

For those unaware, this isn’t something like replacing a slur with removed, he edited users’ comments, turning them into insults to other users.

I don’t care that those original commenters were (likely) pieces of shit, and the people who he made the comments insult were definitely pieces of shit, putting words into people’s mouths to make them fight each other is unforgivable. Even if you put out a shitty apology.

The biggest weakness is multiplayer games with aggressive anti-cheat. So those are the types of games you play, continue to stay away from Linux.

But for most games on Linux, it is just install and play now through a platform like Steam. I haven’t run into a game that I want to play that doesn’t basically “just work”.

I would say that most people who own a computer use local apps, and that the experience, and long-term costs, of using a local program is often better than doing something completely cloud-based.

They use data from webtraffic to make their charts, so talking about local apps doesn’t really have much to do with this website.

The problem is that ! links only work if you click them on a comment while you are logged into your account.

That lemmyverse thing you linked doesn’t seem fully functional,

You’re on .ml which is blocked by, and blocks, a LOT of instances. You can’t interact with .world communities.

In English, it has to be any of the Contronyms. We have so many, and it really makes it hard for newer speakers to understand some things.

You dust a cake by adding powder, you dust a table by removing powder.
You seed a field by adding seeds, you seed a fruit by removing the seeds.

This isn’t really a question, but a very thinly veiled accusation.

Maybe post this somewhere that it belongs.

Infowars was/is a media company, Alex Jones’ show was on TV and online.
They are known for peddling and creating far right conspiracy theories, and because of this were often banned from social media websites for breaking their Terms of Service.
Because Elon is a right-wing conspiracy theorist who likes Alex Jones, he unbanned infowars from Twitter when he(Elon) bought it.

Inforwars was recently sued into the ground because of the claims he made to his audience about the victims of school shootings and their families. Because of this, he was ordered to have his assets liquidated.
The Onion (a satirical news/comedy website) won the bid for Inforwars and its assets, and Elon isn’t a fan of this, so he’s trying to not allow The Onion access to the Inforwars Twitter account.

I know that other services, like the trending community bot, that recent had issues in the same vein. The trend bot only showed like 3 communities, and it normally shows about a dozen.

So, there is likely a federation issue, or something wrong with however these services get their data.

If you bought a house at the very top of your budget and the payments went up, it doesn’t really matter how much money you make.

I don’t smoke weed, but you may want to break things down to be more specific. Because currently, the answer is “they die” or “They DUI someone else, they go to jail, then they can’t get a job when they out, so they become homeless. While homeless they start doing survival sex-work, and they are forced into dangerous and unwanted kinks. They then die, of starvation in the gutter, full of debilitating STIs”

Are you smoking a derivative, like shatter?

Are you smoking the actual plant? wrapped in paper? from glass?

Are you vaping something glycol-based?

Are you using a dry-plant vaporizer?

Are you buying your weed from a legal, controlled source?

Are you getting something that’s laced?

I went with the Razr (2023), and it’s great. It was cheap, it gets small, and the screen is on the inside, meaning I don’t need to worry about things scratching it, and the battery lasts a long time.
If there is another similar phone when I go to replace mine, I will grab it.
If all the market offers me is an expensive phone with a giant outer screen, I won’t.

The three “normal” suggestions are:

• Pop!_Os - https://pop.system76.com/ ; and
• Bazzite - https://bazzite.gg/

I think it’s because they are emulating chaos-based reality tv shows.

These garbage reality shows had people using speaker-phones in public so they can record both sides of the conversation as easily as possible.

It’s tiny, about 2% too small.
