Inertia mostly, people are lazy. If they're family or friends, install uBlock origin for them and they'll probably thank you. You can, as an alternative, ask them to use brave browser instead (after disabling the annoyances), it's chromium-based so the functionality is identical plus it blocks ads.

If it's android, they'll mostly use the app. If you want to get them to use NewPipe or Grayjay, tell them it can play audio when you close the app without having to pay for YouTube premium (yes that's a thing)

If they're not friends or family, forget about it. You can give a light suggestion I guess.

You're on point, imo

Yeah, people on the internet usually don't double check or give a lot of time to things, often taking Twitter screenshots and article headlines at face value. I often find myself doing this too. Everyone doesn't have the free time to factcheck everything they see, and we are especially vulnerable to having our brain fill the gaps with biases.

Saying "Idk man" and moving on is the best strategy for these cases. Second best is probably digging through the internet for clues like some deranged idiot.

Plus, he wants us to react to him. Doesn't matter if the reaction is positive or negative. Don't feed the troll and all.

Watched it, loved it. Thanks for the rec.

Was this the movie which prompted the mythbusters episode where they tried to see if a bullet's path could be curved by swinging the barrel really fast? Immediately reminded me of that lol

I checked all of his twitter posts from 2025/11/21 till today (bad idea, please don't do the same), and didn't find this particular tweet.

I tried the wayback machine, but his twitter page hadn't been crawled in or after November.

I dug a bit more with DuckDuckGo, out of the 6 or 7 webpages I checked, most of them didn't question its validity.

One of those pages[^1] confidently claimed that it was a real post which had some user interaction before it was deleted. The page even mentioned a username, which stood out to me:

Now I wondered if I could verify whether the post was real by finding this user named "Biscuits" and checking his activity throughout November. I have no idea how Twitter works, but I was hoping to find an old reply to the original tweet. There was one prominent user named Biscuit on xcancel. However, I couldn't find any replies or mentions to Andrew Tate[^2]

[^1]: Link to page WARNING: Use an adblock or filter like Ublock origin

[^2]: Link to xcancel.com, with Biscuits's activity on November

TLDR: Idk man, maybe not?

I don't agree with you, but I think it'd be pretty rad if dark matter was GHOSTS.

I've only played the OG Super Mario Bros on an emulator, and it was pretty fun imo. Short and sweet.

Haven't played anything else

I mean yeah, you are biotic, unless you're an LLM or something

That is the coolest history fact I've learned in months. Thank you!

It's literally just someone else's computer! I find so many people believing it's some sort of ethereal space where data is arranged neatly by advanced druid magic or some shit -- solely because it's called "The cloud"

Disclaimer: he was most likely not actually masturbating in his final moments. A more probable explanation is that the hot pyroclastic flow from Mt. Vesuvius forcefully contracted his muscles, leaving him in that state.

 
 
 
 

I had installed Fedora KDE for an older relative on his old Dell laptop. I had already upgraded it from 40 to 41 before, but this time it seemingly refuses to upgrade at all.

I tried upgrading through the "KDE Discover" program at first, no success. I would click the "Upgrade to Fedora 42" button and nothing would happen.

Then I tried upgrading manually using the instructions given by the fedora wiki, and I get the errors from the attached image. (Image below is the continued output)

On top of that, to make things worse, WiFi literally disappears at a whim sometimes. I mean all GUI options for WiFi disappear. I have to restart to make it work again. This is frustrating, can anyone give some insight? Should I just wipe and reinstall something else?
