CW: Trump, uspol

Trump separating families at the border. Children being put in cages. Americans waving the fucking nazi flag.

It’s one thing to read about genocide. Another thing is to see it with your own eyes, even on TV.

And if any of you fuckers tries to tell me that both “sides are the same” or that “democrats did the same” or something in that vein, they are obviously doing this in bad faith and they can go fuck themselves. 🖕🤬

Well, I have opened commands prompts, but only because because they’re fast at doing stuff with files and I like that.

But I haven’t NEEDED to open them to fix or configure stuff.

Back in the early 00s that was pretty much par for three course.

For me the turning point was when a failed Windows forced upgrade ended up deleting me important files. I had backups, but I lost days of work because Microsoft felt so insecure in the face of piracy that they had to upgrade my computer despite me constantly telling them not to do so.

That was around 10 years ago. I went through various KDE distros; in the end I settled for Kubuntu.

The recent developments in KDE plasma are excellent. I haven’t had to open a command prompt in years. I hadn’t had a tech problem until this year when my tmp folder got full.

Not just that; at this point it’s impossible to dismiss that State-sponsored actors are a thing and must be considered in our threat models. If an instance is unmoderated, be sure for-profit trolls will arrive and start wreaking havoc there.

Worse: When you watch a short that appeared in your search results, all related videos are general shorts and NOT more search results. It’s too distracting, and for a person with ADHD such as myself, it kills my productivity. 🤬

Thanks! Now I can use Connect™ for Lemmy without problems. 👍🙂
