  • I'm a huge fan of RSS, it's how I get 90% of my media now.

  • Can't think of any times when "undesireables" have been sent to prisons/gulags in other countries. Nope. Nothing springs to mind...

  • I think even UK common law has something to say about that, some kind of Magna Carta? We regressed right back to pre-constitutional monarchy, do not pass go.

  • Dude literally pointed to his friends who made a killing on it, and posted "buy" info on his socials before reversing.

    If we had any kind of system of laws, that'd be jail time.

  • That's a good suggestion, and I will look

  • I feel that. I'm currently using a laptop from like 2017 (with a 1050) and honestly... if it dies, I'm pretty well hosed.

  • See, that's real prep, not buying 2,000 cans of beans and 20k in ammo :D

  • I can't afford to get any real last-minute stuff, unfortunately. What I did do was stock up on rice and the spices that I largely use, and got some new shoes from walmart earlier than I normally would.

    I put off the things I had been saving for (like a vero v), canceled everything but my basic phone service, and I'll be seeing how much stuff I can get by with repairing/cobbling.

    What's sad is that the billionaires who control the only grocery options for 90 miles will be getting a LOT more of my income, and the small businesses (music stores, thrift stores, things like that) will be getting left. Thereby amplifying the wealth extraction already happening.

    F this, and f everyone who voted for it.

  • TBF, Target largely brought this on themselves before the DEI stuff. They're more expensive here than a proper dept store, and everything is locked in plastic and takes forever to get.

    Can't boycott what I already wasn't using.

  • I've always assumed that was the whole point

  • Ars technica ProPublica BBC (US) Joan Westenberg XKCD Questionable Content Fireside Fedi

    Probably my faves. There's a few others on pixelfed/mastodon that I follow as well, but more special interest

  • KDE. I've been using it as my daily driver for roughly 10 years now, and barring any unforeseen excitement, it'll stay that way indefinitely. Proably until I stop using Linux, anyhow.

  • Well, there's certainly some rallies. I've attended a couple, but we're certainly getting low on polite options.
