Bill from XBill - He installs adware and malware which if long enough turns into Windows. If you let Windows update you die

The Gimp - uses photo editing tools to give people red eye and blind them, or stretch them horizontally so they look weird

Tux could be like Mario, maybe different items turn him into different distros like eating a mint power up turns him into Linux Mint.

It scares me that generations before and after millennials are not as proficient with technology. Before makes perfect sense, but younger people being unable to use a computer or tell if they’re being scammed really disheartens me. I blame the excesses of capitalism and ignorance of our lawmakers.

The way the web and services are structured is extremely unfair to the consumer. We pay for access to the internet, then we pay for access to premium content sources and to stop ads for showing. So many middle men… where is the benefit exactly? How is a podcast better than my community radio?

The ownership of digital goods is the worst part of all. Games, music, tv shows… stuff that is a formative part of your life you should be able to pass onto your kids isn’t yours. You own a “license” which is just a record in some database that can be revoked between company acquisitions.

Give it to Jeffrey Epstein post humuously! Make him the first ever Eternal Attorney General.

Yay ineffective posturing! I hope they spent millions on Facebook ads… /s

The worst part is when people call somebody lazy or make other assumptions about them cause of their lack of wealth or expensive things or tidy hair. Some people never grow out of that schoolyard shit.

Sounds like that sheriff aught to be in jail! What a cuntbrain!

The only thing more pathetic and limp than this law is the men who wrote it.

I think they’ve navigated a situation that looked hopeless better than anyone in the west could have expected. We all hoped economic sanctions were enough to elicit a peaceful outcome when negotiating with Russia failed, but instead it’s turned into things like BRICS.

Many immigrants are lured into moving to Western countries with promises of a better life—safety, prosperity, and even the allure of things as trivial as Coca-Cola or a suburban home. The promise of no longer living under the threat of being shelled with U.S.-made weapons is understandably compelling.

But once they arrive in the very countries that invited them to “save the economy” and fill labor shortages, they’re suddenly labeled a national security threat. They’re painted as part of criminal gangs or conspiracies, blamed for societal issues, and treated as if their presence is an affront. In reality, their migration often isn’t about seeking a better life at all—it’s about enriching local businessmen who refuse to pay livable wages, instead trapping vulnerable people with exploitative worker visas.

Yes! My apologies, I kept alternating between posting the banner image or the link… This is my first post ever on Lemmy.

Ah, I see one of the toxic family members is with us.

Anyone else see the MALP from Stargate?

This is exactly the kind of shit we must not stoop to. Let the Trumpers feed themselves to the leopards. They don’t need our help destroying themselves, they’re perfectly good at doing that themselves.

Threatening Europe so the apartheid inheritance child can get richer. The new lows from the new government start now!

How many women do the Republicans have to kill before everyone else is too outraged to let it go on?

Don’t you think he looks tired?

Makes sense, maybe he knows exactly what someone like himself is hiding!

He’s kind of given out the secret to defeating MAGA. Pity them, don’t hate them. Challenge them, don’t lower yourself to their level. Beat them at the polls, not with a pole.

The MAGA nuts are victims of the MAGA movement too. They’ve literally been tricked by a failed casino owner nepo baby into thinking that he and other rich people are gonna save the country, share the wealth and fix their sex lives.

I can’t back up that last part, but I feel like it’s implied by all the incel and anti woman shit they keep drumming up. Coincidentally they really are obsessed with penises which I’m sure says something about them I’m not qualified to determine.

That’s one area I’m proud of Australia for. We frequently deny travel for problematic people - most recently Candace Owens was denied entry. Most likely for saying that Australia should be invaded, but she’s said a lot of horrible stuff so who can tell!

Just Anne Frank? I won’t even tell them where I’m hiding. Who needs these people!
