- Comment on Epstein details scrubbed from Mandelson’s Wikipedia page by shady paid editor— As the then-ambassador came under fire, an anonymous user tried to downplay his history of support for Jeffrey Epstein 4 days ago:
If I recall correctly, she was a drug addict working at a hospital, and almost died by OD on opiates she’d stolen from work. Vance claims publicly that it was those darned illegals that got her addicted to drugs and almost killed her

Revo Uninstaller is really good too.
Or as someone else mentioned, just ditch windows. It’s a sinking ship. I’ll end my spiel there.^irunarchbtw^
- Comment on Ubisoft Fires Team Lead For Criticising Stupid Return-To-Office Mandate 1 week ago:
I (begrudgingly) enjoyed the first season of Mythic Quest. Knowing that it’s meant to be a fluff piece to improve the image of Unisoft boggles my mind. It’s in no way flattering to the industry, and I question the intelligence of anyone who thought it would be.

Fuck yeah, I can already reliably recognise like ⅓ of the hiragana set…if there’s a multiple choice pick.
I’m taking a course, but if you want to just self study kanadojo.com is pretty good, and if you get anki there’s a load of free resources to practice listening and reading. Anki is free on android and pc, but costs a bit on iOS. Ankiweb.net
- Comment on 'I'll believe it when I see it': Windows 11 users are cynical about Microsoft's promises to fix the OS and stop pushing AI 2 weeks ago:
Nah, you’re good bud 👍.
Honestly, while I am hopeful, it’s hard to be positive about the current state of alternative mobile OS. Everything not based on android feels like a proof of concept. We’re at the early adopters stage, but I can’t bring myself to get on board when there’s not really a great option. And device support, I already have my current daily driver, plus my old phone as a backup, and the phone before that too. None of which are supported by any of the projects, and even as something to play around with I can’t bring myself to buy ANOTHER phone. 🤷 - Comment on 'I'll believe it when I see it': Windows 11 users are cynical about Microsoft's promises to fix the OS and stop pushing AI 2 weeks ago:
And lineage has pretty good compatibility too, but we’re talking about mobile OSs outside the big two, Android and iOS. In that context, the device compatibility list is significantly shorter, and even the newer phones listed are ~10yr old hardware, or if newer severely underpowered compared to not even flagship phones available 5 or more years ago.
I really really want a viable Linux phone, but the device range isn’t there, and there’s still a lot lacking in functionality. Currently what’s on offer isn’t ready for general population daily use.

But they do exist. It does give me hope that people are actively working on these projects, useless for daily driving or not. In a better timeline we’d have more than 2 properly viable mobile OS options.

I mean. There ARE mobile os options. Just you need to have very specific phones, and they’re all old and outdated tech.

Might I recommend Median XL?
An OG D2 mod, adds a load of content and changes things dramatically, vibrant MP scene, and even after having spent most of a decade playing D2 back in the day it’s changed enough to feel new and shiny again.

Looks like a fork of C-Evo, which has been in dev for around as long as freeCiv. Couldn’t find anything about shared assets.

Not me but my dad. He was friends with a guy who was loosely related to someone relatively high up at Google when they first went public. His friend offered him 500 shares at 50¢ a pop. His life right now would have been wildly different.

Just finishing off setting up ElementaryOS on my wife’s early 2015 MacBook Air. It’s based on Ubuntu LTS, but with a custom theme to make it macOS-esque. Seems pretty good so far, but time will tell if she enjoys using it.
