Yeah, happens to me all the time as well. People specifically ask me not to commit acts of genocide in a specific population, and I just accidentally bomb them anyway a few hours later.

It’s truly tragic, but there’s really nothing I can do about it, and I honestly wish people would stop bitching about it.

Yeah, the zoomers I know who make an effort with regards to fashion all dress in a very fun way. I dig it.

If I’m upset by it it’s just because young people are not wearing the same clothes as me and more, implying that I’m getting old. It stings a little.

Also Telegram is growing shadier day by day. Signal is the way to go.

Honestly, I think this might be on to something. RFK jr was not always a lunatic - before he went insane he did some truly great things in his career. He then gradually made a turn for the worse, ending up as the mentally insane candidate we know today. It honestly explains his political platform pretty well.

It also reminds me of that great infowars interview with a Sanders supporter (correctly?) observing that they have worms in their brains.

Is Linux Mint well adapted for touch screens?

I think I would go for GNOME if I were to use Linux with a touch screen. Then again, I’m using it anyway, so I’m probably biased.

As a leftist, I find them annoying because they make me look like an idiot by association.

50/50 leftists and Russian troll farms or worse, by any charitable outside evaluation.

If you don’t have any luck dumpster diving it might be worth checking if any of your local supermarkets (or even bakeries) are using Too Good to Go. They decide how much to put in the package, but a generous place will give you a bunch of food for very little money.

A worthy cause - keep it up!

Full beards are great. I can go a week without any maintenance and still look presentable. Any other style of facial hair is just too much effort.

I think zoomers are young enough not to have the generational memory of how creepy mustaches are, so suddenly they’re cool again. I’m afraid it’ll last until the zoomers are old enough to be the creepy ones.

And make damn sure it’s an underground railroad. It’s far too risky to put them on a plane.

This one is amazing. The expressions, the attention to detail, the colours, the typography. And relatable as hell of course. Thanks for sharing!

The Simpsons gig is of course beautifully referenced to in Banksy’s couch gag.

A fun industry fact: Have A Cigar was sung by Roy Harper, as he happened to be in the studio and the members of Floyd thought he could be a good fit. Roy Harper is perhaps more known in the mainstream through the Zeppelin song Hats Off to (Roy) Harper than through his own recordings, though he’s still alive and active.

Harper didn’t feel like he was appropriately compensated for his work on Have a Cigar, which is ironic considering the overall thematic.

Gillian Welsh - Everything is Free.

Great song about the difficulties of making a living off music now that everything is available for nothing. Father John Misty recorded a version when he was invited to the Spotify Sessions, which was a nice little fuck you to the people inviting him.

The world is full of surprises!

Clearly Mike needs to stop being absurd.

Let’s see if Loops can fill the gap. Not sure if an open source alternative could generate enough hype to be viable - maybe if TikTok is banned in the US or something.

It’s just an app, yeah.

OpenStreetMaps is amazing, but it is a map, not a whole ecosystem like Google Maps is. As a map I find it’s often better than Google Maps, but what is still lacking are good front-ends implementing a wide range of functionality in a user friendly way.

On desktop I often use GNOME Maps, but it leaves a lot to be desired still and is obviously intended for Linux users running GNOME.
