Unless this dangerous precedent is condemned and curtailed, it will enable US authorities to summarily shoot anyone they choose

Newsflash: they already do that.

And the child’s body could have naturally produced cocaine.

All this while systematically crippling our tax investigation departments.

If I ever meet Merz or someone like him, I will have choice words to say.

Boycot Intel? Okay, you got it!

Sure, throw some more marginalized people in front of a bus to keep things going!

Quite fascinating to be able to listen to such an ancient instrument, and also quite fascinating to see how much time has been invested by a multitude of different people over the decades since its discovery - even if some of them got it wrong on the first try.

Too bad only the words to the ancient songs survived, but none of the melodies.

Just got one of these and it’s such a life upgrade. Has an anti stink function, too. Filters the air through activated carbon, which means unless you are dumping something extra nasty, there is not even any smell afterwards. And my bottom never felt this clean before.

Welcome, Mr. Dobson. We have been waiting for your arrival. Waiting, and preparing.

I kind of feared this would be a shitfest.

In my hometown up in the north, there was a students pub that offered a “whore’s breakfast” (“Nuttenfrühstück”) that was just a cup of coffee and a cig, so…

“Anti-trans activist” sounds so much nicer than “hate freak”.

I believe in equal rights and opportunities for all, be they man, woman, in between or none of the above.

But saying (and perhaps believing) one is a feminist and actually acting like one are often two different pairs of shoes. We all are confronted with so much discrimination, with so much bias, with so much misogyny, it takes active labour to actually behave like a feminist, because no matter how you think about yourself, at some point and to some degree, all that shit we get confronted with every day will rub off on us, and we have to understand that and constantly check ourselves so that it does not influence us in our thought patterns. Constant mental garbage collection, if you want.

That is true for all kinds of discrimination, no matter what it is based on.

It’s all just distraction. Keeps your mind off the fact that the billionaire class are destroying the world and enslaving us all.

Leave it to old white male sports bosses to pretend they are protecting women, all while instituting policies based on purposely misinterpreted science that are not just transphobic but also misogynistic in the extreme.

ICEstapo? GeICEpo? GestapICE?

Did you watch The Bad Batch?

Nvidia compatibility had been getting steadily worse on x.org for the four or five years prior to the switch to wayland. It is getting steadily better on wayland now and I would pick wayland from a stability point of view right now.

Sadly, that has not been my experience. I tried using wayland on several different computers with nvidia cards (yeah yeah I know, would not buy them again today), and the result was pretty terrible. Random crashes terrible. The same is not true with X. It is also not simply the case of the nvidia propriatary drivers being terrible (they are), because on one of the machines, I installed the open source driver instead (mostly because the proprietary driver would spin the fan full speed all the time, and I found no way to stop it from doing that).
