The democrats didn't argue with any of those
And big oil paid scientists for years to claim lead in gasoline was fine actually and the government nodded along in agreement.
Or that AIDS wasn't that bad because it csn only effect homosexuals.
Or that there were WMDs in Iraq.
Sorry there's plenty of reasons to question govt narratives.
Right we should just listen to bad actors unquestionably, it's working out great for Maga.
Proof from the democratic party isn't proof, they're also corrupt and take lobbyist cash. There's also reason to believe the ties between the US and China specifically researching these kinds of viruses in a lab in the same area as where the outbreak started is very suspicious and more reason to not believe the "old power" in the US.
Not that Trump and Co is any better, they want to topple the old power to bring about even worse things.
Or that others can be useful, even if you don't care about them.
I happened to get one of each, ironically it's the smaller of the two who is the hunter.
I've tried to turn a pc off to go to sleep, only to realize in the morning it's still on because some program refused to close.
Now when I see the prompt to force close, I just say yes.
I used to live next to an apartment complex called the Laurel, my wife would always sigh and roll her eyes when I called it the Yannie.
I currently use Bazzite on my old laptop, just wanted to try out immutable distros and I like to stream games from my rig to it sometimes so completely functional steam was a nice addition. Plus learning about flatpaks and app images over installed packages has been interesting.
Then on my servers Debian/Proxmox and usually Ubuntu server in LXCs for more updated APTs then Debian, though I mostly run docker for my web apps rather then native APTs.
I work for a company that has a java program that functions on Linux but is nowhere near the level of support provided for mac/Windows, so I'm the Linux guy for our dept and when a customer is running into issues on a distro I'll spin up a vm on my homelab and see if I can rum through an install and get it functional.
So far the only one I literally couldn't get installed was Slackware lol I even figured out how to get it functional in ChromeOSes Linux subsystem.
Same on both counts, except with a little creamer/sugar, it can taste good!
Beer big nope, no amount of flavor will remove the smell/taste of piss for me.
Funny you'd think most of the democratic party* would be on our side. Just look how few are speaking out now.
Yeah, it's one thing to make it known that it is a possible explanation, it's another to claim that it is a fact without evidence.
This is kinda off topic, but there's a show called Kevin Can Fuck Himself that plays around with sitcom tropes, wife and I enjoyed it a lot.
But that would require them to have more then a surface level understanding of the culture they're making fun of lol.
You're correct
Look fuck Google and all that, but is it really the search engines job to do this? What happens is then they'll require age verification of some fashion or attempt to block and sexual content entirely.
That's a great point, yes, the majority of my podcast listening was on my longer drive before covid then I was wfh for a while but also moved closer to my eventual office.
For me, at the point where I'd need to ask someone a question, the amount of information I'd have to provide for context is usually too much of a burden to even try asking lol.
Sacapuntas
I was planning similar, but just for me instead of allowing registrations at all, not sure how viable that actually is though.

Emojis and Lemmy
Does anyone else think having emojis as a response to a comment/thread would be a neat addition instead of only upvote/downvote?
Reddit seemed to sorta do that with awards but thats not quite what I'm suggesting.
Something similar to GitHub for instance, except we keep the upvote downvote system as-is.
This would hopefully discourage the use of upvote/downvote as a "I like/dislike this" button while also adding the ability to more accurately express the emotion the post/comment illicited
Additionally, there are a lot of people who are mostly just lurkers and have no desire to post, but they want to be able to emote further then just a upvote/downvote but DON'T want to actually post a comment like "I love this" or "You're so right" or even just commenting an emoji, because making a comment is a whole extra action that makes them visible, opens up to comments or upvotes/downvotes.
