I love Libreoffice but the dictionary on there is abysmal. Like fully wretched.
I’m sure there’s a way to add others but I just haven’t discovered it yet.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 week ago:
It’s pretty bland, but it’s meant to be. It’s main function is to be the second most fingerprint resistant and private browser. It’s second is the ability to use Mullvad VPN tunnels per tab or domain.
Besides that, it is not recommended that you use it for logging in to sites or for personalized use cases. If you add extensions like a password manager for said logging in, you fingerprint yourself.
Honestly, I’m going to be blunt, I think it is great for light scrolling and some media consumption, but I don’t see its use case. It is faster than Tor and so if you find it filling a need where you might not need Tor, great! Otherwise, I don’t really see its appeal.
If I really want to blend in, I’ll use Tor, and otherwise I enjoy having my browser customized to my needs. Floorp is my daily driver, and I know I’m super fingerprintable using it. I just don’t care for the things I’m looking up and the fact that I have ad blockers and other privacy features set up.
Mullvad doesn’t have vertical tabs, it is lacking web apps, it doesn’t include much customization, and its settings are really sparse. You can of course go to about::config and change whatever you want (as long as the browser has it, so not vertical tabs), but then you defeat the purpose of them having limited options: to hide your fingerprint a little less than Tor but much more than other browsers
All this to say, it’s a good browser and I am sure there are others who have found much more use out of it than I have, but it’s not the browser for me.
- Comment on Denmark wants to ban VPNs to unlock foreign, illegal streams – and experts are worried 1 week ago:
They are not the bastion of liberty that everyone thought they were. Oh look, proved once more. Capitalism corrupts and corrodes every single social program, legislation, and benefit in society.
In a turn that so many people saw coming, social democracy is not immune to the wiles and whims of capital and corruption. Just like any other form of capitalism, it too will decay and dissolve. The rich want nothing but literal, chain and whip slavery over the poor of the world. These assholes are so mentally ill, they genuinely CANNOT stop hoarding, and they are so twisted by power and wealth, they wholly envision themselves as gods.
This is what liberals fail to see: if the rich truly got/ will get their way, we will be chattel slaves for them and then when their AI gets good enough, they will hunt us for sport.
I don’t mean to sound like a tweaking lunatic, but I am so positive that if there is anything that we enjoy or have, the rich want us not to. They are so petty and obsessed, any situation we are in that is not literally beneath their feet is too good for us worthless poors.
We are standing on a MAJOR precipice, the liberal capitalism of old is gone, and they are gunning for everything we are and have now.

Elon has to keep “dewoking” Grok. Sure, it’s still an awful model, probably the most disinformative, but it’s funny that it keeps revering back to neutral or pro progressive values, while calling out Elon
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 5 weeks ago:
It will be able to run android apps, any steam games, and because it’s going to run Steam OS, you can run lutris or heroic launcher as well. So emulation and a whole variety of older games.
Also because it’s a stand alone, but can pair to a pc, you will be able to work straight on it with KDE desktop and whatever applications you want to run.

- Comment on Montana Becomes First State to Enshrine ‘Right to Compute’ Into Law - Montana Newsroom 1 month ago:
This is such an insane map because a meter of ash is not that much when compared to other volcanoes, let alone a supervolcano. At the center would be dozens of meters of ash. Vesuvius in 70ad poured 60 feet of ash and debris onto Herculaneum and 40 onto Pompeii. Granted that was a pretty big eruption. But still, compared to fucking Yellowstone??
- Comment on Is Kagy web browser worth it? 1 month ago:
You can buy it anonymously, mostly through P2P exchanges and markets. But simply buying bitcoin or some other popular coin with a credit card, then exchanging that to Monero and using that to buy your privacy things will work as well.
Monero is stupidly private and anonymous.

- Comment on What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs 1 year ago:
You can definitely give a VM enough power through KVM and qemu to run Roblox. You can even try your hand at single gpu passthrough if it’s worth that much time having youe kids switch to Linux. Not putting a value statement there, I think it is but that’s besides the point.
You can also give quite a bit of power to virtualbox with 3d and hardware acceleration.

Also yes Pew did. pewresearch.org/…/majority-in-u-s-say-israel-has-…
I hate to tell you this but we live in a dystopic world. The majority of Americans have the worst foreign policy and support the MI complex. We vehemently hate Arabic peoples and others from that region. And we really only support israel for our own imperialist needs. Look at the right’s contempt for Jewish people but praise and support of thr state of Israel.

They don’t even know shit about the land they farm. Western (and now global by virtue of colonization) farming techniques are abysmal. The way we grow our food and take care of our lands are awful. But God forbid those librul scientists dare to suggest change…
Farmers are absolutely necessary and are far underappreciated but god damn, are they also some of the most stubborn people you’ll ever meet

Well this really exists for those billionaires and rulers. This isn’t for the common person.
They’re so mad that they’ve removed themselves so far from us and we still share a common experience in death. That’s unfair for them to have to be associated with peasants in such a debasing way. So now they’ll remind us that death is for the poor or at least not living centuries will be for poor.
