I gave myself a headache trying to write chapters of a fanfiction I’m working on.
Of course this had me staying up way past when I had wanted to go to bed. Again.
Here’s hoping everyone else is having an easier time with their creative outlets.
Have you tried using the BIMP plugin for GIMP? It might be an option? https://thegimptutorials.com/how-to-do-batch-processing/
HAH! HAha Hahahaha… I’m not laughing because I’m happy she said that. I’m laughing because she’s lying and everyone knows it.
They want me to hide everything about myself. They keep moving the Overton window. I refuse to humour them. I won’t be driven into a corner. If they don’t like it, that’s their problem.
So, a gang of white supremacists.
That looks like a gang, operates like a gang, and should be kicked off of the turf of any self-respecting gang, imho.
I like your reply more than the 5g conspiracy theory one.
Get out of my head, lol. I do this as well.
Fascists don’t care about the courts. If a judge is in the way they’ll just arrest them.
Depends on how much /swap you’ve got.
Dave wants to wear a dress to school. Donald doesn’t like it because he thinks only girls should wear dresses. Dave says he’s a girl, too. Dave says she wants to be called Samantha. Other girls are perfectly happy with Samantha wearing a dress and playing with them, until Samantha chooses a doll which Marjorie wanted to play with. Angry that she can’t play with her doll, Marjorie tells Donald Samantha is bad. Donald says; “See? I told you it was bad!” Meanwhile Kevin stole the doll Jocelyn was playing with and started kicking it around the schoolyard, breaking it as he does. Donald says “Dave caused that!” And half the other boys agree with him. Now Samantha gets sent home from school by the teacher for fighting with Donald, while Samantha had done nothing but wear a dress and play with dolls. Neither Dave in boy clothes, nor Samantha in girl clothes show up at school the next day. Donald keeps shouting that kids like Dave are the problem. Marjorie agrees with him. Kevin destroys another doll, but they’re fine with that because he’s not wearing a dress.
What an absolute loon that woman is. What a hateful article to write out without mentioning the woman’s obvious victim complex. What an islamophobic report. What bad journalism.
Of course it fell apart. All these people do is lie, cheat, steal, and so on…
Social rules are made up by neurotypicals. I never signed a contract to be governed by them.
Right, because UEFI is open sourced and can be checked by anyone. Oh, wait, no, that’s why Libreboot is a thing: https://libreboot.org/ I will agree that TrustedComputingGroup and the way they use TPM have a more open standard, but I still don’t trust some of the companies behind it. Especially Microsoft, who have completely lost the plot with recent Windows versions. There is definitely a reason to be wary of it, as cryptographer Ross Anderson is quoted here on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Computing#Criticism Software Piracy is a direct answer to greedy publishers who burn out developers and force them to make crapware which they then force DRM on so people can’t play it even if they own the original release. Better people than me have written about how awful DRM is in games. See https://www.gog.com/blog/what-exactly-is-drm-in-video-games-and-why-should-you-care/ or https://expertbeacon.com/why-is-drm-bad-for-gaming/ for exaples. DRM is bad for game preservation purposes or simply to allow someone to install and reinstall the game they own several times. Better people than me have written out about the various issues which DRM caused in the past, most notably safedisc and securom which were well-reported upon. It does not belong in gaming. I can explain a lot, and can attribute a lot to stupidity and greed on either side of the argument. It’s not FUD when it’s a slow crawl to further enshittification and overzealous identification and exclusion of individual users and systems while giving false reasons for why we should put up with it.
Ask yourself why TrustedComputing became a thing, why UEFI and TPM are required for newer Windows versions and what they actually do. And each new step they add something more restrictive to prevent your system running unidentified code. Ask why kernel-level DRM is employed as an anticheat measure. What other kernel-level DRM is on your system? Do you know? Do you care enough to stop using the products pushing it onto your system in the first place? We’re slowly but surely letting the dystopian futures we were warned about happen by not protesting every single time they lock some part of your life down “for reasons”.
I’m not a lawyer, but I would expect so.
The 8-bit guy is controversial. From VICE’s article ( https://www.vice.com/en/article/8-bit-guy-ibm-7496-executive-workstation-computer-reset/ ) “[…] touting open carry in Texas, antagonizing the anti-gun Moms Demand Action nonprofit, and statements about gun control that have made many fans question whether they can keep watching his computer content.”
