That fake Stalin quote isn’t wrong tbh.

When the 6 people in the titan sub went missing, western govts moved heaven and earth to mount an extensive rescue operation despite knowing full well they most likely imploded.

Meanwhile, thousands die each year crossing the Mediterranean, and the same governments show nothing but contempt for them.

Your choices are:

Tory,

Diet Tory,

Or as of recently, Tory².

“Yes, Falun gong is a reliable source for anything related to china” - nobody

Ryan Gosling in the upcoming Project Hail Mary

I’m sure it’ll be fine, but that casting choice wouldn’t have been my first pick.

Doctor Who.

are you my mummy?

Even in Stalin’s time, there was collective leadership. The western idea of a dictator within the communist system is exaggerated. Misunderstandings on that subject are caused by the lack of comprehension of the real nature and organization of the Communist power structure. Stalin, although holding wide powers, was merely the captain of a team, and it seems obvious that Krushchev will be the new captain.

In the UK, the only warning system we have is receiving a text message. And even that is a hit or miss because only half of the people I know actually received one when the govt was testing the system a couple years ago.

Yeah, absolutely. Pretty much all of my devices are on some variant of Debian, but that’s not always feasable for some folks, so with that method, at least you’re not paying Microsoft through the nose for the privilege of harvesting your data.

Get the laptop without an OS

Install a trial copy of windows

Go to massgrave.dev.

And a small loan of a trillion dollars!

Can confirm. With a dog who sheds enough hair to build a statue of himself every week, a robot vacuum has been a great help. Just make sure to get one with a self-emptying bin, or your gonna be emptying it yourself after every lap around the house, and it’ll be more tedious than just vacuuming yourself.

I hope nobody nearby has joint replacements…

Yeah, one of the early replies in the original 173 post was mocking them for being a ripoff of the Dr who monster

As well as this, GrapheneOS also supports automatic rebooting for if your phone is taken by force. As once you’ve logged in from a cold boot, your data is in a vulnerable state where cops can access it without needing your passcode. With GOS, you can specify an amount of time for the phone to wait since the most recent login, and once that time has passed, it will automatically reboot the phone, placing your data back into the cold and secure state, so that the cops must then acquire your passcode from you, at which point you’d be able to give them the duress pin and ensure that the data is removed safely.

Yes.

I just got a 4k TCL QLED TV from Costco a couple months ago. Have been quite pleased with the image quality so far, but I keep it disconnected from the internet, and only use it with my nvidia shield running the projectivity launcher as the home screen to switch between smart tube, Plex, and steam link.

Not an ad in sight.

If the phone rings, by the time I get to it they’ve usually already hung up or reached voicemail, so I only end up answering if its important enough to call me twice.
