Thank you daddy Trump for temporarily slowing down the financial disaster you caused. I barely even remember that the economic wars you started were completely unnecessary and counter-productive.

18/f/cali is a mindset, not a statement of fact.

I hate what's happening but I enjoy the righteous schadenfreude.

I voted for the guy who said he would do all of this, but I didn’t think he’d do the parts that harm me.

Doing something like that might unify the silent opposition against Trump, giving them strength in numbers. Letting his allies break one by one means that the first several will be destroyed by Trump before the opposition gains enough momentum to work.

I’m downvoting you because nobody asked about silver

FAQ

What does this mean?

The amount of karma (points) on your comment and Lemmy account has decreased by one.

Why did you do this?

There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to:

• Rudeness towards other Lemmites,
• Spreading incorrect information,
• Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.

Am I banned from Lemmy?

No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.

I don't believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?

Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Lemmy PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.

How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on Lemmy. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Lemmy is privilege, not a right.

Hey now, you could be the person to force manufacturers to add a new type of warning label to random products!

Google only checked out and cashed in after getting a monopoly. Mozilla let themselves fade into irrelevance.

Go cry to Trump again.

Yes and no. It would solve some problems, but because it has no (non-hacky) graphics acceleration, most DEs wouldn't use it anyway. The biggest benefit would be from not having to use a DE in some circumstances where it's currently required.

Businesses doing April Fools was fun until every gigantic corporation started doing it. Now it’s just bland, thinly-veiled marketing.

“I don’t want to learn/use the CLI” is equivalent to saying “I only want to use features that have a GUI”, which you can already do on any operating system (including Linux).

Actually it’s a low budget western movie starring Alec Baldwin that resulted in the tragic killing of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins due to inadequate safety practices on set.

Evidently many American companies are ashamed to be associated with their own country.

That's editorializing. Companies want to make as much money as possible, and right now hiding their US origin increases sales.

Each monitor should have its own framebuffer device rather than only one app controlling all monitors at any time and needing each app to implement its own multi-monitor support. I know fbdev is an inefficient, un-accelerated wrapper of the DRI, but it's so easy to use!

Want to draw something on a particular monitor? Write to its framebuffer file. Want to run multiple apps on multiple screens without needing your DE to launch everything? Give each app write access to a single fbdev. Want multi-seat support without needing multiple GPUs? Same thing.

Right now, each GPU only gets 1 fbdev and it has the resolution of the smallest monitor plugged into that GPU. Its contents are then mirrored to every monitor, even though they all have their own framebuffers on a hardware level.

My thermodynamics professor made so approximations in his derivations that all of his equations had an “O” term to represent the inaccuracy. Every time he made another approximation he’d say “and, of course, the O sucks up the error”.
