eric5949@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•US cuts may affect FOSS projects funding (F-Droid, Tor, Let's Encrypt, TailsOS)English27·3 months agoF droid I don’t think specifically had yet, they had just won a grant I believe but I don’t think they got any of it yet.
eric5949@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•EU Members To Slap Tariffs On US Tobacco, Electronics, And Toys – But Not Bourbon.English61·3 months agoI tried installing it on win 10 WSL
Lol what? I can’t take this conversation seriously anymore lmao. It’s like me saying windows sucks because I can’t game under qemu. Microsoft says on their own site that WSL isn’t for GUI apps and even a cursory Google search would have told you that.
eric5949@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•EU Members To Slap Tariffs On US Tobacco, Electronics, And Toys – But Not Bourbon.English81·3 months agoThere’s barriers to mass adoption sure but the installation process of most distros since they all use the same GUI installer is…not it. Like I kinda just don’t believe you tbh, your comment is entirely out of line with my experience even a decade ago. Maybe in 2006 when I first installed fedora core 4.
Like I can understand having issues using it day to day and I’m not going to tell anyone to swap operating systems, but if you can’t get Ubuntu up and running idk how you install and go through the windows OOBE.
eric5949@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•EU Members To Slap Tariffs On US Tobacco, Electronics, And Toys – But Not Bourbon.English6·3 months agoYou’re preaching to the choir man I’ve been beating this drum with increasing volume for years. We need 20 million+ of us on the national mall demanding a new constitution and government under threat of 1789 and I don’t honestly know if that’s possible.
Michelle Obama or any Dem won’t be taking power in 2028, if the above doesn’t happen 2028 isn’t a real election and if it does the United States Government as it currently exists doesn’t anymore so who even knows what the structure of our government will be.
Idk don’t count on us getting our shit together, trump could literally genocide Hispanics on American soil and 1/3 of Americans would strongly approve specifically genociding Hispanics. Even if we recover from this, things will get worse for Americans as our empire crumbles, and in 40 years when I’m the boomer and my friends are all the boomers, we’ll collectively beg for the good old days we grew up in when the American Empire was still strong, and we’ll collectively vote for the new nationalists of the day to make America great again again.
I should mention that while I’m a fan of democracy and would never want to live under another system of government I do not and have never believed democracy to be long term sustainable. Maybe I would if I lived in a real one idk but y’all still got far right problems over there in most of the former empires so idk.
eric5949@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•EU Members To Slap Tariffs On US Tobacco, Electronics, And Toys – But Not Bourbon.English12·3 months agoFor the record, I’m american. Entire current situation aside, I would prefer my chosen operating system have more support and if I can at least get that out of the destruction of the only country I’ve ever lived in I mean that’s something I guess.
But yeah you probably shouldn’t be financing the Nazis of the 2020s that is true, and taxing people who do would probably cut down on that.
eric5949@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•EU Members To Slap Tariffs On US Tobacco, Electronics, And Toys – But Not Bourbon.English47·3 months agoThat windows tax sounds like a way to bring about the year of the Linux desktop and I like that idea.
eric5949@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump Orders Four Mile Military Parade for His 79th Birthday2·3 months agoIf you’ve already given up idk what to tell you. A military dictatorship is not what you want.
eric5949@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump Orders Four Mile Military Parade for His 79th Birthday3·3 months agoThe one out last weekend, and in the weeks to come, protesting. The people the government derives it’s power from the consent of. If all else fails, all other means are exhausted, and the time comes, you hope the military is on your side but you do NOT hope the military takes initiative to resolve the problem because my guy the interests of the military are not the interests of the citizenry and I would prefer not to live under a military dictatorship thank you very much.
eric5949@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump Orders Four Mile Military Parade for His 79th Birthday51·3 months agoLiterally the worst case scenario, idk why people want that.
eric5949@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump Orders Four Mile Military Parade for His 79th Birthday5·3 months agoJust more dictator shit
eric5949@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?1·3 months agoThey could see everything prior to like 3 days before I deleted the account. It was the last straw for me.
eric5949@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?6·3 months agoReddit has been getting worse and eventually they just stopped showing people my comments so I deleted my account. Pretty much the next day the warnings for upvotes started coming in.
eric5949@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•So this is it, is trump god? Will Republicans sacrifice their own well being to own the libs?651·3 months agoI mean yeah.
If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.
LBJ was taking about race but the quote “give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you” applies pretty much universally to a third of the population, maybe more. Probably more.
eric5949@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•California to negotiate trade with other countries to bypass Trump tariffs61·3 months agoThey did it during the pandemic, the union is quite literally dissolving before our very eyes.
eric5949@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Man tackled by parishioners, handcuffed at Kansas church after Jesus-like prayer -“He has long hair and a beard.”51·3 months agoSo burn me at the stake then, I don’t really care. His fulfilment of the law was as the sacrificial lamb for all of humanity who choose to accept it.
“The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” - John 1:29
Arguing about Christianity on fucking Lemmy, what a day. I always thought it would be advocating for love thy neighbor that would get me called a blasphemer but nope, it’s the most basic of basic Christianity.
eric5949@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Man tackled by parishioners, handcuffed at Kansas church after Jesus-like prayer -“He has long hair and a beard.”10·3 months agoI was raised the new covenant of the new testament overrides the old covenant of the old testament, the whole idea of Jesus saves doesn’t work otherwise. I don’t understand it, I was taught the old testament was basically context and prophecy.
No fucking shit, if only someone could have fucking warned you before you turned traitor.
