Trump holds no convictions outside filling his ego hole. He will go with whatever the most influential person that talked to him last. His u-turn here doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
Don't forget the billions in US taxpayer money shovelled to the weapons contractors. Those in power are making a killing.
I want to see Ukraine win! I think those in power see this as a cash grab more that the necessity of a promise we made to the people of Ukraine when they gave up their nuclear weapons. We can't let them down. Same for Taiwan. Our alliance's must not be of convenience and our word has to mean something.
Those in power defiantly turned a blind eye toward Israel, supported genocide and made a killing in the process.
The blue bubble is as heard to burst as the red bubble. My mom lives on msnbc. There is not a moment that its not on just like my dad lives on fox. They are completely in their own different worlds made of fiction. Dad thought there was no way Trump could loose to Biden just as my mom thought there was no way Hillary/Harris could loose to Trump. Both had no moment of realisation, no moment of reflection just disbelief that they live in a bubble. Its always someone else's fault. Dad blamed the Democrats and mom blames the left.
To me it's obvious that Chomsky was right about manufacturing consent.
If they made a PS5 controller that could last more than a year I'd be alright with it but they are just e-waste after about a year. I don't want to throw my money at Sony just end up buying more planed obsolescent garbage.
The best thing about the PS controllers is its control stick symmetry, I hate Xbox like cock eyed controllers and their inverse button placement. Not only is it ugly as hell but ergonomically uncomfortable to use.
Never forget that Joe was "The Senator from/for MBNA". He had been selling us out long before he was even vice president. He was part of the neoliberal takeover of the Democratic party.
There are countess stories like this one that never ended in riot's. One that comes to mind is Kelly Thomas a mentally I'll man, schizophrenic if I remember correctly. I remember Thomas cried out for his mother as they beat him to death.
Welcome to lemmy! For the most part lemmy is nice place to be. You will still see the occasional crazy though. Defiantly not something you see all the time. If you find a user, community or instance popping off a bunch of crazy the best thing to do is block them. You won't be missing anything without them.
I would bet your right. One of the best collections of screensavers out there. I know they work on X but I haven't yet tried on Wayland. Guess when I get home I'll give it a try.
Coming from the Mac world transitioning might be a bit easier as you already have some experience with how the filesystem is setup. Root and users home folder.
I know its a bit intimidating at first glance but installing is really not that hard. The first step is choosing your distro. I think mint is a great starter distro. One thing that you might not like is the default windows close, maximize, minimize buttons are on the right. Not sure how easy it is to change it back to the left anymore. Below is a link that should get you started with mint.
Or you like your close, maximize, minimize buttons on the left I'd recommend using KDE as everything is very customizable. You could use kubuntu which is KDE + Ubuntu, just like mint is based on Ubuntu but with the cinnamon desktop enviroment.
However I defiantly recommend using KDE fedora spin.
All three of these choices have great documentation and communities, relatively easy to install. They should have almost all the software you will need from their repositories as well.
If you are familiar with the terminal the dd command can easily write the image to USB. Be careful with the dd command and make sure you are writing to the USB drive and not any other drive as it is not very forgiving if you make a mistake. There is an example in the link above.
This is the hardest part, burning the iso to USB.
3: now you have to boot from USB. here you will have to get into your bios. Most computers use an F-key, you can probably search boot from bios + your computer model to get the right key.
Then look for a setting in there to boot from external drive and boot from your USB.
4: here you will be greeted by either the installer itself or a live desktop environment depending on what you picked. If you choose a live iso you can test drive the distro before you install it to your computer.
5: follow the install steps, you can refer to the disteo you have chosen documentation if you have any questions. Or post back on lemmy and someone will come along and help you out I'm sure.
That's about it. Pretty easy. Sounds worse than it is!
For sure, if way more people used them the fingerprint would get smudged. That being said noscript would break the internet for the average user and degrade their browsing experience so I don't see mass adoption of that awesome add-on. Ublock however is so simple it should be in everyones add-on list.
I'm making an assumption here but I think its the new release in production. Might not be as stable as they are probably building it, might be working on fixes and adding or removing things.
Just to add to this a bit with some visual context, you can visit proton's github page and look at their releases to see the improvements valve has made to each version.
This can help put what Eldritch said into practice.
If you are having issues playing a game you can visit https://www.protondb.com/ and search for your game. Here you will be able to find what versions of proton others are using. Look for people with similar setups and match the version of proton that works for them.
