Jesus christ, it’s been months! Why aren’t ee protecting our selves? Ban and sanction Elon! What’s with the wait? We rarely wait THIS long to act on Russian or Chinese bullshit, and THEY TRY TO HIDE IT!

Nope, but yes, it was even worse while I still had windows.

YouTube on Firefox is a complete no go as far as I’ve tried. And not sure how much Firefox is to blame since other video players work just fine on it.

But no, I’m using Opera or other chromium browsers for Youtube nowadays. Still jitters from time to time.

Honestly feels like that’s necessary, with how much youtube jitters on my gaming rig. At least before I remember that YouTube runs like shit on every machine.

Quite so, just felt it was an important caveat to add.

In extreme cases sure, tho I feel the need to point out the context of the vats majority of criminals being conditioned into crime by their surrounding. Poverty and discrimination come to mind among others. I my opinion the best way to prevent anything is to hit it at its source, in this case making every day life more livable. Not only does that mean life must be comfortably affordable, but mental health should also be a top priority.

I hate how this race to the bottom makes China look better and better each year. Fucking China! Good job assholes! The US is getting dangerously close to becoming just as bad… Well, except for the about to be fucking poor like Russia part.

The trans aliens ofc.

Oh awesome, can’t wait to explain how I got a porn site email.

The US has no extradition treaty with China (or similar). So that would likely fall under spying and the “coercing a New Jersey man wanted by Beijing into returning to China” part is very much a major step over the line.

Edit: Also jeez people, he’s just asking relatively reasonable questions form ignorance, stop tearing him a new one! Being wrong shouldn’t immediately be cause for such backslash.

That’s the kinda logic used to defend the upper class. “What did he really do?” Hyper focusing on specifics, rather than the actual act.

Acting as a foreign agent, directly operating under the orders of a foreign government under the jurisdiction of a sovereign country is a bit of a no go. No matter if it’s China or not. We here in Europe have similar events with American spies every dozen years (and Russian and Chinese too ofc).

The stuff you mention about handing out valid Chinese IDs is mostly irrelevant flavor text. It’s iffy maily because it was an unofficial station in the eyes of the US. Official embassies fulfill such roles too without issue.

How’s this news? That’s literally what MAGA was selling the entire time. The so called “Temporary Hardships”. They promised and they’re going to deliver some economic hardships, that was the sales pitch and people voted for it. Anybody shocked is just not paying attention.

Not voting. If we combine harris and non voters we get a similar number to the poll. Of course that’s a major simplification, but it still has something.

Shortage of bus drivers solved by a fleet of regular drivers. Lol. I’m at a lose for words at how badly managed the US is.

Syria is quite a long ways from China. Makes me wonder how serious they are. Then again, such operations aren’t a foreign concept in the middle east, so what do I know?

Do you really enjoy throwing out meaningless quips? I’m genuinely curious since I don’t see any engagement, but a surprising amount of replies.

Not earing the turnip?

An all out attack on thousands of people’s lively hoods without warning, how will they ever get out of thi…oh wait, it’s America, right, they’ll not only not face punishment, they might even get a pat on the back.

America is a cult of suffering. If you aren’t suffering you’re either freeloading or not working enough. Everyone is responsible for them selves, and so “paying for someone else’s healthcare” is an absolute no go.

The nice thing is, you can pretty easily run both and switch around. Just get a distro with one, and then it’s usually just 1 or 2 commands to get the other as a choice on the login screen. KDE and Gnome apps are also largely compatible, regardless of desktop environment.

I’ve been using KDE mostly, it’s just nice being able to customize it so easily without too much technical knowledge of the environment or hoping someone already made an extension for it like on Gnome. Then again, some may like the simplicity of shopping around for extensions and calling it a day, or later even editing the extensions.

Recently, for my tiny laptop I switched to gnome, it’s also just pretty :)
