I really like Tumbleweed. Sure it updates a lot, but it doesn’t force updates so you can take it at your own pace.

It’s not private given that they require your phone number to sign up.

Wait preorder tools? For Janthir Wilds? I must’ve missed that that was a thing.

Surely that’s Firefox BS, not something added by the Librewolf devs?

It wasn't well balanced but it was a good RPG experience. Oblivion had a bunch of elements stripped out, but it was still an RPG, the wonky alphabetical voice acting aside. Skyrim felt like a cookie-cutter action adventure game, all the roleplay had flown out the window.

First is financially successful, it generated some decent profits for the stockholders.

This is the only sort of success they care about. Anything else is secondary. These companies gladly burn bridges with their communities so long as they believe it'll benefit their bottom-line.

Wow. Took them fucking long enough. They’ve been doing that with LGBTQ+ videos for ages already, so it’s not like the tech hasn’t been there. For shame.

I mean, Winston Churchill most definitely was a villain. He wasn’t the villain of WWII, but undoubtedly a villain.

He was intensely racist, had no problem using Indian people in his army while censoring their letters, as a famine he had a hand in creating killed over three million people.

That’s no excuse for peddling propaganda-Nazi propaganda, though. I thought that was kind of this guy’s shtick?

This is an interesting read. English isn't my native language, and while I'm quite proficient, I lack a lot of cultural context, particularly when it comes to American English. My partner is American, and through/with them I've learned a lot of problematic phrases and expressions. It's baffling just how much language is used to dehumanise, other, and discriminate against people.

That's not to say it doesn't happen in my native tongue, it definitely does, but I guess it's more baffling when it's something that's unfamiliar to you.

Marijuana obviously sounds like it's rooted in Spanish, but I never thought much about it. If you'd asked me, I'd just wager a guess that it's the Spanish term for it. I hate how oftentimes when I start poking at these preconceived notions, an uglier reality reveals itself. It's never as benign as I initially believe.

Wow you unlocked a memory in me. I recall doing something similar but using some send command to do the same with any computer logged in and on the network.

Week after that I met a dude from municipal school IT support and that’s when I first learned about Linux. He had Red Hat on his laptop and he was happy to talk about it. Very cool dude.

But the fascists want to spy, how else are they supposed to control our thoughts? :((

Aye. I didn’t look deeply into it but it’s nice that it exists.
