our oligarchy now has control over a majority of this planet compared to control roman control over the mediterranean and the decline will likewise be proportionately slow and destructive as rome’s was.

i suspect that the next reset is going to involve whole new climate changed induced civilizations from the fallout and that’s presuming that humanity can survive another population bottleneck.

and all simply because we keep repeating the oligarchy’s talking points to each other like they’re unassailable logic.

understand that comparison and expectations are the thieves of joy and learn how to appreciate the things you like about your situation.

also, understand that doing this is a lifelong effort that you’ll keep fucking up spectacularly; happiness has be created w effort.

and look at shit things were back then. lol

Which one?

I’m the future we will know who defeated which laws because if shit like this and people will still patronize them

Games used to hold me back also but sometime around 2005, I stopped updating my repetior and now even dirt cheap gpu’s have caught up w my needs; my last 2 laptops and desktop had Intel integrated graphics on the motherboard

Almost the same except we have so many things wrong PlanetSide that it makes the stars almost irrelevant.

People needlessly suffer and die painfully simply because VERY few of us want control and many more keep repeating the lies that those few have created to control us.

Watching it play out ad naseum once you’re aware of the farce makes it depressing to watch and it makes you realize how easy it is to control human behavior to the point where repeated genocides are ignored enough to allow them to happen.

I want to know if there will ever be a time when manufactured narratives & consent doesn’t control the lives of humanity and it might make the nothingness of death a little bit easier to stomach knowing that it’ll come to pass.

i just got my first amd/ati hardware and it was nice not having to take an extra step to reviewi/set-up better nvidia support; the best available was automatically provided like the article says.

With the great upstream support for AMD Radeon graphics in the Linux kernel and Mesa, most desktop users / gamers / enthusiasts are best off just using the latest code shipped by their distributions

it got so bad for me in the past, that i just avoided nvidia the last 2 times i bought hardware.

I feel like I have a very different experience of YouTube than most people on here. UBlock on desktop and Revanced on mobile means no ads / sponsored bits, which is absolutely essential. But I also don’t have a problem with the dreaded ‘algorithm’.

i do something similar with the adblocking and it think its the 3rd biggest reason why i haven’t yet completely degoogled myself since youtube is a nice experience without that enshitification.

i also use firefox’s containerization feature and that along with only viewing my subscriptions list seems to help with the algorithmic recommendation creep of fluff & propaganda.

I’m half-convinced they did this whole project just so they could call it COOL.

can you blame them? lol

You forgot that french juges have used the facts that people installed Linux, Signal, /e/OS and GrapheneOS has evidence to charge them!

this sounds insane but common for judges; do you have any sources for this?

both are golfing-centered movies; you can be forgiven for it since they’re essentially the same story. lol

mostly bald; sad, tired eyes, permanent 5-o’clock facial hair; he’s definitely got more than 5 years of experience. lol

should I consider getting checked out for autism??

do it because it’s much more common than people realize.

also, it’s called a spectrum for a reason; there are varying degrees of “strengths” and “types” of neurodivergence. (there’s actual words for them but my memory is useless before coffee).

it’s impressive how much work they put into that video; they deserve it.

it felt regurgitate to me, but probably because i tried most of these arguments in the past and they all failed to convince anyone.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it came out that these companies lobby for lax regulations for data brokers

h&r block & turbotax

adam ruins everything spent some time on it.

your employer doesn’t provide you with one?

i liike mac’s too and i’ve been using them for work since 2008; but i would never buy one for myself unless linux starting working on them better than asahi does rn.

he definitely did some damage to american soft power, but i suspect his goal was to concentrate it from several agencies into a single one.

that plus very clear indicators like von der leyen’s capitulation to trumps trade demands; macron’s & starmer’s refusal to comply w the arrests warrant for netanyahu; germany and the uk criminalizing support for the palestinians; and the spanish, greek & irish government’s public theater supporting the global sumud flotilla only to betray it at the last second suggests that europe is still doing what the united states wants it to do.

pixels are non-starters for me; i don’t want to make google any richer than i already have by being stuck in their ecosystem and my main concern is privacy from commercial entities.

i can recognize that i would be hopelessly outmatched by the american or isreali governments who have ultimate weaponry like prism or pegasus no matter what i did.
