  Didn’t they start some crypto nonsense a while back?

  I’ve learned to be highly skeptical patriotism in general, because it’s a fertile breeding ground for racism and fascism.
  My reasoning being that, except in very few cases, those flying the flag had no hand in them being whatever nationality they are flying the flag of. They were simply born there. Thus any pride they take in the accomplishments of that nation is completely unearned, again with very few exceptions.
  This unearned pride often leads to them taking personal offence at critique of “their” nation, even if it’s warranted.
  Additionally their perception of what that nation is and represents is often anchored in the past, in the best case, or in euphemised half-truths and outright fabrications, in the worst case. This results in them acting as either a conservative force, in that best case, or start slipping into fascism. Because that’s what happens when you believe your country is perfect, can do no wrong and everything would be much better if everyone were just like you.

  Weren’t they? If I see someone flying a German or Bavarian flag I automatically assume they’re racists.

  Right? He’s not even in his suit!

  Not exactly a claim to fame, either.

  I’m suspecting a straight question à la: “Are you a terrorist?” didn’t yield the desired result.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone have experience with Mumble?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Mumble never tried to get feature parity with discord. If all you’re using discord for is voice mumble is a perfectly adequate replacement.

  That makes more sense.

  And nothing of value was lost.

  Why would anyone need a moving clock?

  Happy to hear it.

  Are you? Is anyone?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive”⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This article is based on verified sources and supported by editorial technologies.

  Well then, list the sources, you twits. Also “editorial technologies” sounds suspiciously like “AI”.

  To detract from the confusion the European Union is Union Européenne (UE) in French.

  I wouldn’t mind skipping those

  Maybe it’s because it boots as fast as Windows wakes up?

  4D graphs? Who cane up with this legibility nightmare?

  Annie?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft announces it will automatically install the Copilot AI app alongside desktop versions of 365 products like Word, Excel and PowerPoint this October⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s really wild is that people put up with this shit.
  For me the straw that broke the camel’s back was finding out that system32 is owned by the installer user and I’d have to jump through a bunch of hoops to make any changes there.
  And here people are like: “Sure, show me ads in the OS I bought.” While the apologists go: “You can disable those in the registry.”
  I SHOULDN’T HAVE TO!

  The moment I have to wrestle the OS for control over my computer it ceases to be useful and becomes a burden.

  Some noise, desaturation, maybe a few scan lines, add a date and runtime overlay and you’re probably most of the way there.

  Given previous more or less similar projects this is likely to get sued out of existence by Google.

  Why would you not want containers managed by systemd?
  You get the benefits of containerisation and you don’t have to learn the arcane syntax of some container engine or another.
