WAFRN WAFRN WAFRN!

If only running an appview didn’t require VC level money… I mean it’s still way better than twitter, twitter would have never allowed fed.brid.gy or alternative clients and whatnot but it would still be nice if there was more than one service on the protocol

I think that maybe losing his job at fox news phased him more than he let on

Wow, the emerald mine heir that wants to go to mars is getting support from the ex-KGB agent with a penchant for poisoning. I honestly don’t know why I expected anything different

🤣

RIP Cohost

Totally unexpectable!!!

OOH

So that church that I heard was using its non-profit status to create an untaxable 32 billion dollar investment portfolio that got exposed for using 13 shell companies to hide the holdings from the public was a Mormon one! Who could have guessed!

So like, when was the last time someone said they needed to handle the “enemy within”?

Oh wait

I remember this from history class!

1. Idiot proofing
2. Automation, integration and premade scripts and GUI tools for the use of tools such as wine and other pain point relief software
3. Idiot proofing
4. Decrease choice fatigue by decreasing the number of choices visible by default as much as possible (Ubuntu is an okay example/starting point in my opinion)
5. Make a one-stop-shop wiki or equivalent with the specific purpose of giving explanations to non Linux-savvy people

I think that the proliferation of software/app centers is a great development when it comes to package management. Guides should mention them as an option to install whatever packages are needed, as a lot of people are clearly afraid of terminals.

Which leads to the “more GUI tools” point, which I’m sure everyone knows by now.

Also, you know how Windows update is so aggressive with getting you to update? That’s for a reason.

The opposite is true as well! Some people literally can’t read white text on a black background.

Including both light and dark mode is a matter of accessibility!

If you have arachnophobia then it’s understandable 😔

🥺 not the spiders

Ah yes, free trade, the thing that improved the economies of ex-communist countries after the USSRs collapse and is on the path to fixing almost every African nations poverty.

Ah yes, NATO, the “we will only call for (and maybe possibly do something to enforce) human rights if it’s convenient for us” alliance. And I’m sure all it’s member nations have squeaky clean track records when it comes to international politics.

We must ban anyone against these things! That’s dangerous extremist ideology

Ooookkay,

what

Wow, who could have guessed

You have a point. It really depends on how much the Admins enforce this rule.

Wow, a normal person on the internet. Thank you for existing.

Scientific consensus is still a thing. You can find out what a majority of well accepted studies say, whether something is controversial or not. Sure, some all new discovery in nuclear physics might not have consensus yet but whether you can feed cats a plant only diet should. If it doesn’t thats probably because everyone assumed that was a dumb thing to research that wouldn’t provide any unexpected results.

I, and I’m sure many others, will not take someone who thinks COVID is “controversial” with no “clear harmful position” seriously.

I’m not sure what your opinions on COVID are but if you’re anti-science on this one then I disagree with you.
