To be honest, most of the internet is dead anyway.

The good stuff is here in the Fediverse and there are a few havens out there where people can come together.

I can’t touch sugar alcohols.

If I even look at them, I’ll spend the next week on the toilet.

I have to avoid a lot of the low fat/low carb foods because they use this. Also almost anything sweetened with monkfruit has this in it.

As a descendant of Powhatan, I feel like I should call and report every white person I come across.

It’s my understanding that X.org has some fundamental security issues that can’t be fixed. Is that correct?

The major hurdle to that here are Republicans and their corporate masters.

We really need to heavily regulate corporations and apply a heavy tax on them. We also need to get rid of the Citizens United ruling, which basically lets them pump unlimited money into the political process.

The US is a whole lot bigger than Germany though. Each state administers their own election also. There’s no unified system or framework that they all have to follow, and if one was attempted to be forced upon them, they’d cry “states rights” and challenge it in court.

This country truly is due for a reset.

I love giving old hardware a new life.

Once I’ve finished tinkering, and if it’s fully functional, I give them to poor families who can’t afford to buy a laptop for their kids.

Sadly, there are a lot of those here in Appalachia.

We former military have ways of dealing with enemies of the state.

I’ll make Debian servers out of recycle your old intel Macs for you! Just pay to ship them to me. 🥰

No, I didn’t.

I use an anonymous YT client, and wasn’t aware it did that.

I can’t see the Reddit posts, but as an Army veteran - my money is on them using CS gas. The stuff really sucks, and can incapacitate you if you’re not ready to counter it.

Can we not link to Reddit? I get a page that says I’m being blocked and need to log in, which I can’t do because they banned me about 4 years ago for promoting punching Nazis.

I want an eye replacement with a few extra opsins options, and some EM sense like what birds have

That’s possible, but our brains haven’t evolved to interpret anything outside of the visible spectrum.

Hypothetically, we could guide human evolution by introducing such tech into newborn babies for several generations.

I miss glass bottles of coke.

They’re still available, but mainstream supermarkets don’t tend to carry them as much.
