Radio stations used to have actual, human DJs. They were smart, funny and they knew what people really wanted. After the ClearChannel takeover, almost all of those stations are automated. The music playlists are decided by corporations and have no connection to the real world.

“I didn’t vote for this!”

Boost and Connect are my favorites for Lemmy.

People who need constant background noise to get through the day are afraid to be alone with their own thoughts.

A VPN is the quickest, easiest way for me to avoid having my data sucked up by my ISP and Google. I’m using Thunderbird for email instead of Google. I use DuckDuckGo for searches, and it allows you to block search results on a per-site basis. I mostly use that feature to block AI-generated search result sites.

The RAM prices will come down when “AI” finally implodes and the tech bros have finished extracting every last bit of venture capital from idiots.

I have NEVER uninstalled “Deus Ex.”

Being able to use my magical talking rock to talk to people on the other side of the planet.

If you look like a fascist and talk like a fascist and act like a fascist you are probably a freaking fascist and that’s the way people are going to deal with you until you give them evidence to the contrary.

Congratulations! If you feel you need further tip on safe driving habits I would start with

• Assume that everyone else on the road is a total maniac who doesn’t know what they’re doing.
• Don’t drive faster than is safe for current road conditions (rain, ice, fog)
• If you see a bunch of car taillights light up ahead of you, slow down! There’s a reason why they’re all doing that.
• Check out youtube videos like, “Idiots in cars.” There are plenty of examples there of what NOT to do. :)

Anyone who thinks Charlie Kirk was just some nice Christian who loved the First Amendment needs to get MUCH better sources of information than they currently have.

The 5-layer burrito is delicious and it’s only $5. It’s a bargain, even with the extra meat option.

“I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” - Charlie Kirk

Would I have just a regular tiger brain while I was invisible, or would I be a smart tiger?

UPC product labels, tied to your “rewards” number. And then, the list is printed on your receipt.

That list is then shared with “interested third parties” and any concerns about your privacy is buried several pages downstream in the usage agreement for using the rewards card.

This. The question marks and ampersand in youtube URLs are separators and can include your entire playlist, as well. If you just want to share the video, then everything from the first ampersand onwards can go.

Yeah, let’s try voting for candidates who were born AFTER the Battle of the Bulge next time. None of the incumbents take their jobs seriously and they are way too comfortable in their phoney-baloney jobs.

We haven’t had an actual progressive President since Jimmy Carter and that was fifty YEARS ago.

I recommend downloading a Live Linux distribution and booting it from a USB stick.

This let’s you try out linux without making any changes to your Windows setup. It also lets you make sure linux detects all your computer’s hardware. If the live session works fine, the it will detect all that same hardware when you install it for real.

Plus, once you get done de-bloating Windows, the next Windows update will undo all your hard work and reset everything back to “allow all bloatware and spyware.” It’s a battle you’re never going to win unless you ditch Windows completely.
