I mean, ICP’s cultural impact metastasizing is certainly part of it.
But also clown is a strong aesthetic, and we’re detached enough from unironic clowns being a fairly common thing that it can be repurposed for new ideas. Not many people hiring party clowns and most remaining circuses have moved on from clowns as a central element.
Yah, but we forgot about it for over 10,000 years. We were all winners for quite some time.
Ahhh, Neil, gotta be one of my favorite niche internet micro celebrities.
Step one: target a marginal group, push the public in to cruelty so as to make them complicit.
Step two: target a less marginal group and use the public’s complicity in the last to prevent them from pushing back.
Because they’re based on delirious vibes, not any meaningful policy goals. Keep the base happy while they steal everything that isn’t nailed down.
It would be easier to list the things she didn’t do.
Long and short, screwed over a lot of minorities, oversaw a lot of violent conflicts, and reshaped the UK economy and government to benefit the financial sector and ultra wealthy at the expense of everyone else.
I use librewolf just because it’s privacy focused.
But, there is also waterfox, floorp, and mercury, just off the top of my head.
Frankly they should probably split off the ad side from everything else.
Safari had its own web engine, WebKit, which chromium’s web engine, blink, is actually a fork of.
Opera Used to have it’s own web engine, presto, but they rebased to blink in 2013.
But yah, your options these days for the basis of your browser are basically WebKit(Apple), Gecko(Mozilla) and Blink(Google).
looks like you dropped opera about the same time it rebased to blink (chromium) from their own web engine, presto.
or even better, use librewolf.
“colors running” is an issue with dyes or paint not staying where it supposed to on something, so like washing a piece of clothing and the colors fading or staining some other part. Originally it references paint “running” off something in small streams, like if you applied to much. Running being a word commonly used to describe the flow of a stream or river, so if paint is coming off something in small streams, it would be described as “running”.
“The colors” also being a euphemism for a flag or standard on a battlefield, historically formations on a battlefield having a flag that would act as a clear point to focus around during the chaos of a battle, hence the saying “rally around the colors” meaning “ find the flag of the unit and defend it, if you don’t know what to do”.
So shirts with a flag that say “these colors don’t run”. it’s a double entendre, saying that “those that this flag stands for will not run away from a fight” and that “the dye on this clothing will not get distorted”.
In the context of a trans flag, it is a parody of vocally/excessively patriotic people who would wear an American flag shirt with that saying on it.
“Seed oils” is used by this crowd of wackos to refer to a bunch of oils that aren’t from seeds, like palm oil which comes from the fruit of the oil palm. The actual definition is stuff like sesame, sunflower, and rapeseed oil, but these people use it to mean basically any thing that is commonly used.
Ah yes seed oils bad, as supposed to… what? Animal fat? Butter?
Like, I’m sorry, olive oil counts as a seed oil if half the things mentioned are seed oils.
As more and more games are built on 3rd party engines like unreal, unity and godot, it gets easier to have them run natively without proton or wine. Obviously there are compatibility issues that arise beyond the engine, but it helps a lot. Godot is particularly cool because it is FOSS, even if it is less developed than unreal or unity.
As cool as these developments are for Linux gaming, I am a bit worried about engine development becoming a lost art for studios/devs. Some kinds of game need specialized engines to work properly. Eugen’s proprietary engine, iriszoom, is kind of amazing in how well it handles the huge detailed maps and hundreds of units in Steel Division, Warno and Wargame. I was able to get their latest game, Warno, running just fine on integrated graphics, albeit at minimum settings and through proton. On the other hand, Cities Skylines 2, a game with similar scale to Warno, is built in unity, and it runs like a pig even on high end machines.
I really hope we can get more stuff running natively on Linux without having to go all in on these 3rd party engines, more stuff built in Godot would also be cool.
Ugh, of course the NY Dems that voted for it are from long fucking island.
“Huh? The people I’m not directly targeting don’t approve of my actions targeting a group? It must secretly be the targeted group making them not like me! I don’t experience empathy, ergo it is impossible for anyone else to experience it.”
