Change in Government 2025 General Election
And as a note, Trinidad currently has all female leaders in the highest posts of President, Prime Minister and Opposition Leader due to this election results and internal party consequences. https://web.archive.org/web/20250501142112/https://trinidadexpress.com/news/local/cheers-as-penny-makes-history/article_ebe9ee80-0740-4575-b47f-f890c966a5ca.html
This is a sure sign of social progress, and a sign of a healthy democracy by the citizens once again choosing a change of governance at the polls.
She was thinking omg he has the same kink as I do.
Omg is this the joke? Chalk in milk? So it took me 30 years to actually understand this Simpsons joke?
The golden years writers were so genius.
This was an entire episode of Castle (the guy from Firefly) except it was a Pizza shop.
There's only two things I hate in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.
I can only have an opinion when Fox News informs me of the new outrageous fad for this week.
Anyone? Anyone?
Hasn't the Supreme Court already ruled on this when Colorado tried it? It was pretty clear then that he violated the 14th Amendment. So what's the 22nd to them this time? The deed will be done.
The TikTok plan from China worked.

Reddit has been a an archive of some of the greatest collective minds of humanity. Besides the general algorithm up voting bots hogwash, there have been some really good subreddits with excellent information from learned professionals on topics. it I wish it was preserved rather than deleted. The AskHistorians is one of my favourite professional vetted and clean subreddits, lots of academic discussions there.
But all things have a Golden Era, and then it's enshittified and fades away. As Lemmy will be one day too.
Yes but the "American Dream" was never that. It was always to get richer than everyone else and so I can just say fuck 'em to the plight of the rest. Or in alternative terms, it only concerns me when it actually directly affects me.
I believe the results of the last election and the ensuing "executive orders" actions are direct proof of that. Also it was proof of the large stupidity of the masses, something the Covid years exposed, but was directly proved in the election results. It was just a matter of time before a high level professional conman was so brazen about it.
Goats.

The powers and process screwed over Bernie in 2016. It would have unquestionably been a clear victory over orange circus clown. He would have been one of the greatest leaders in the 21st century. Now he's too old, even though the fire is still in him. But we do know now that America hates women, especially of colour, for leaders. AOC wouldn't have a chance until a huge social upheaval to change such attitudes and core hatred has occurred, possibly the Civil War 2/WW3.
Just like how past world wars created the world we live in today. Before WW1, before men of all social classes bled together in the trenches of Europe it was quite a different attitude regarding the rights of people and classes compared to after the event. The schools of fascism and communism was very enticing to populations after such a wanton and colossal loss of life by poor leadership on the battlefields.
I think Toyota and Honda... maybe somebody else was developing a Hydrogen cell car. I remember seeing James May on Top Gear talking about it and driving it. It was in California. It seemed really promising and very exciting at the time that's why the memory imprinted on me a bit.
That's why I specified it's my personal computer at home on my desk. It's in a secure environment, not an office work computer. Obviously a 4 digit PIN is insecure for a password, but it depends doesn't it? Windows Hello doesn't replace the password and 2FA security on my PC itself for my Microsoft account. If it's somehow stolen through a burglary I can easily lock my Microsoft account through my phone to not accept the PIN. It's just a convenience for me at home. And for millions of other users. I wish you all would understand that most computer users are plebs like me, or worse. It's like you IT guys are in a bubble and keep braying that everyone should use Linux.... but can't understand that most people cannot until there are easy to use features like mainstream Windows or MacOS. TBH most people don't care about privacy or security that much too, like regarding the whole Chrome and Firefox debate. Most people watch ads on YouTube and accept it as a fact of life. That's just the way people are. People won't switch to any distro of Linux until it becomes easy, really really easy.
I can't tell if you're being a pedantic smart ass, or really don't know that Windows allows a 4 digit PIN on their system rather than type in the full password each time. And Linux does not have such a similar feature to simply activate, like Windows Hello. I got tired of typing in the 16 letter and characters password every single time for every single thing after 2 weeks. It's my personal PC on my desk at home, not an office. And I don't know why I should spend money on an ergonomic trackball with special features that works in Windows, and then just throw it out because the manufacturer doesn't support Linux. They don't develop an app because hardly anybody uses Linux in their market. So that's just me and my experience.
Like I said, Linux isn't for common plebs like me and it isn't easy to switch over when expected features that exist in Windows don't exist in Linux. The people that keep saying to switch to Linux here on Lemmy don't seem to understand that the majority of computer users are just like me.
I always imagined that portable future wizard (??nuclear??) power would be as simple as unscrewing a 5 gallon cannister from the back of a vehicle and exchanging it at the power/charging station for money. Like the small 20 lb LPG cooking gas tanks. I still think that electric cars are a phase of tech that cannot be sustainable in terms of money and environmental cost and waste for too long and that it is just transitional in our quest. Hydrogen power was always supposed to be the future in my mind.
Same. I have a Kensington trackball with a decent config and button mapping software in Windows that I will NOT give up. I tried Mint for a few weeks, but it just became too stupidly cumbersome to Google every single thing. Like I wanted to implement the Windows PIN thing for startup on my PC.... Yeah no.
Linux has come a long way but it's not ready for the commoners like me. And a free open source OS probably cannot be developed for the masses without some major funding with a dedicated team.
So back to Win 10, Enterprised with massgrave.
