Blaze it

Developed Universal Translation tech LOL OBSELETE!

what.

OK so I have used several DEs but right now I’m on Plasma 6 because frankly, it’s the best out there. It’s easy to use, customizable, intuitive and looks nice. Is it on the heavier side? Yes, but that’s okay. Also it helps that I have learnt the keyboard shortcuts on this.

I have used XFCE, Mate and Cinnamon in the past. If KDE somehow vanished off the face of the planet, I would likely switch to XFCE because it’s light, customizable and fully functional.

You can tell Russia’s desperate because they’ve got the North Koreans involved.

Anyone who can look at a human being and say “this is what your just do no matter what because of what parts you have and nothing else” doesn’t see others as full people.

Next stop, we will make installing Linux on a Dead badger a reality.

Yeah no shit.

> say they reject civilisation 
> Ignore the resistance movements and organisations actively fighting Taliban rule
> Ignore the independent media organisations being crushed by the Taliban for speaking out against the Taliban
> Ignore the people fleeing Afghanistan every day because of the Taliban.
> Ignores the geopolitical fuckery that gave rise to the modern state of Afghanistan.
> Ignores that the Taliban was formed from the Mujahedeen, an organisation funded by the US to fight the Soviets.

Yes, clearly the Afghani people are savages who cannot be redeemed. There’s no external factors for the clusterfuck that is the Taliban. Anyone who says otherwise is a liberal hippy. /s

Oh there’s several ways, especially if you have poor opsec. People used to raid people’s twitch accounts and bring down their internet connections by looking for their username on Skype which had a vulnerability which they could use to find a person’s IP.

For swatters on the otherhand, they tend to either know the streamer themselves or they tend to be groups like KiwiFarms who are a lot more organised and do a lot of research and detective work, like looking at the video, looking for usernames elsewhere, looking for emails, and looking for location clues. It’s really fucked up. They found Keffels’s Motel by the sheets in her room. It’s bad enough if you do not think about these things and just have sloppy OpSec, but even if you do, they can still find you.

A lot more regularly that they do in the rest of the UK.

So (not to) fun fact: Keffals, who was targeted by KiwiFarms for being trans (yes that’s all) and got Swatted. She then went to stay with another streamer (EllenFromNowOn) in Northern Ireland. Just for information sake, Northern Ireland is still a bit rocky security wise, Police there still carry guns on the regular. So when she went there, Ellen called up the police and explained the situation to them (they had never heard of Swatting weirdly enough).

Sure enough, someone found her flat, posted her address (with a message referencing a Unionist Slogan, Ellen was from the Catholic Community), and sure enough, the police came. Instead of raiding her all guns blasing (which they normally would) they saw the warning, knocked on the door, saw nothing was wrong, called off the squaddies, and came in to basically make sure everything was okay.

Bare in mind, this was in Northern Ireland, a place where the Police still drive Armored cars and have regular riots, and they handled this better than the Police in London, Ontario.

Let’s be very Frank with you, republicans want that. Not the rank and file, but the politicians that want control over the United States.

What they want from Trump is a rubber stamp to do whatever they want.

No but they can experience existential fear (first time I took one of my cats on Holiday).

Let’s fucking go. Drag this fucker Infront of parliament.

We’re all going to be so smug.

Forgot how horrible KDE looked in the 2000s, thanks for reminding me, also thank god it’s 100% better and looks and feels amazing.

Lindows is literally an insult in linux spaces.

cis-het

Right right so DEI just means “anyone not white, male and cishet”.

You’ve not fought against it very well, have you?

• You have school “voucher” schemes for religious schools, which do shit like teach kids that Evolution is wrong because of the bible.
• You added “In God we Trust” do your money and added “Under God” to the pledge of allegiance in the 1950s (The pledge, with or without it, is in itself a form of state worship).
• You have had presidents (Reagan, Bush II) openly promote the idea that America is a Christian state through historical falsehoods.
• One of the most powerful factions in your government are American Evangelicals who have used their power to promote religious based laws, especially against women and minorities.
• Every President in recent times has had to show themselves to be openly Christian, with “not being christian (enough)” being a common attack strategy.

And that’s just Christianity, if I was going to go into how you worship the state…

• You have Four Faces of Presidents carved on a literal sacred mountain.
• You make your kids pledge allegiance to the state every morning (I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands).
• You have two (2) congress funded art pieces that depict George Washington as a God (Washington Enthroned and The Apotheosis of Washington), the latter of which is in the oculus of the Rotunda at Congress for everyone to see.
• The Lincoln Memorial is straight up designed like a Greco-Roman Temple.
• You have, as a social norm, displaying your flag outside your house.

How is that not going to be interpreted as “religious”?

Now, I know someone is going to be all “lol aren’t you from the uk where you worship the royal family” well guess fucking what:

1. Barely anyone in the UK worships the royals, especially where I’m from (Scotland) and the people who do even in England are considered weird. Our relationship with the Royals as a country is usually one of aggressive irreverence. My family’s nicknames for the king includes “The Jug Eared Dwarf”, “Chuckie III” and “Tearlach an Chluas”.
2. Despite having two (2) established churches (Church of England and Church of Scotland), non religious people make up the majority and the UK is aggressively secular.
3. Despite the established religion and having the (in practice) head of state also be the (in practice) head of the Church, none of our politicians try and use religion to justify their bullshit and those who do are considered wankers.

America, in the eyes of most of the world, is aggressively religious, not just in terms of christianity but also in worship of the state.
