Commodore as a brand has ruined every company that's ever bought it. Cursed brand some say.

Wine would still be better though, especially if they have the source code. Can be used like a dependency to produce a Linux compatible package like how Java applications either bundle or depend on a JVM in the package manager.

Shouldn't conflate the publishing of a health study with "telling" anyone what to do as an adult.

So I was on a bus that had been parked for a while before pulling into the station. It was was quite hot out and the bus had been turned off so the inside was pretty hot as well, but the air conditioning was working and I could feel it cooling down. Apparently this wasn't good enough for one person who opened both of the front windows, the ones that have big "Air conditioned bus. Open window in emergency only" signs on them. So the bus is now going down the road blowing in hot air from two gaping holes, so surprise surprise the bus stayed hot despite the air conditioning while that person kept fanning themselves without realising they were the one that making the bus hot.

Also, no I didn't confront them about it because I was sitting somewhat in the back of the bus and definitely don't have the personality to potentially cause a scene on public transit. I've literally seen people get into screaming matches over the windows on transit and didn't need that in my day. I did close them on my way out because I rode to the end of the line though.

I stopped drinking entirely as soon as I discovered cannabis edibles. Thanks Canada! Wouldn't personally "recommend" them or any other drug to anyone else but it seems to work okay for me.

People who say driving is freedom have never lived within walking distance of the amenities they need. You think driving to Costco/Walmart is convenient? I've left the house 5 minutes before the grocery store closes. When I want to make a recipe, I don't check the fridge for what I have until literally right before I need to start making it because forgetting something adds at most 15 minutes to the prep time. I've never had to haul ten grocery bags from my car because I never need to buy that much at one time and then watch half of it go bad in the fridge. I can go get snacks when I'm high as a kite on weed without killing someone on the road. True freedom for me is never needing to drive or own a car.

TIL your phone apparently does no or easily spoofed authentication of the identity of the base station it decides to connect to. Anyone know more about this and how it's possible?

The US praised the Nazis for killing the communists. They supported their "cause" riiiiight up until they started attacking western Europe AKA the countries that actually matter.

The US also hired tons of Nazi "scientists," including granting them immunity for their roles in the Holocaust. They also granted the head of Unit 731 immunity (specifically from the USSR who rightly wanted him executed) in exchange for the human experimentation data. NATO coincidentally also has a ton of Nazis in its leadership.

The US went as far as installing prominent Nazi figures back into West Germany in the same way they let confederates go back to their lives after the civil war. Whereas the Soviets executed Nazi leaders in East Germany because that's what they fucking deserve. The US then claimed that the executed Nazis were victims of communism and included them in their "communism death toll" numbers.

This isn't an error. The US has always been sympathetic to Nazis, before, during, and after the war. They only begrudgingly pitched in against them because they viewed western Europe as slightly more important.

Finally, the US didn't even fucking do that much. Certainly nowhere near enough to justify their claim that they "saved the world" in WWII. The USSR and UK each did far more yet the US seems to think the USSR was fighting for the Nazis and the UK was a scared poodle hiding in their island until the heroic Americans came to save them, when in reality, the tide had already turned against the Nazis by the time the US joined. They also nuked Japan just because they could, it had nothing to do with the war because they already had intelligence that Japan was about to surrender.

Freedom is not "being able to drive anywhere." Freedom is being able to go anywhere with just your own body without a giant metal cage around it.

Why not just use and support fully open source alternatives like Krita, Inkscape, Kdenlive, etc instead of giving money to Adobe?

There's no point in talking to Trump because he has shown time and time again that his words are worthless. He's also an attention addict and megalomaniac, so talking to him, especially if it's televised and on the world stage, is giving him exactly what he wants.

This makes me want to use GrapheneOS more. If the dataminers don't want you to use it then it must be doing something right.
