Thanks for sharing this!

It really does appear that the "Proton is MAGA" thing is just quote taken out of context nonsense.

Covid-like shortages for US consumers ‘within weeks’ in c/politics@lemmy.world

[–] pool_spray_098@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I agree.

90% of toilet paper is apparently domestically produced in the USA.

Doesn't matter. The shortage wasn't rational then and it won't be rational this time. It will just be the first thing people hoard.

Dodge Chargers Now Have Pop-Up Ads at Every Stoplight... Just What Nobody Asked For in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world

Hmm.. Good point. I just like Sync and used to use it with Reddit so I'm used to it. Checking out Voyager now and it seems pretty slick.

Lmao, meanwhile I'm reading your comment about ads in an article about ads in a car, and your comment appears on my screen right under an ad for Bumble. (I'm on Lemmy Sync)

AOC says she's worth less than $500,000 after kickback claims — and seems to get kudos from Trump fans in response in c/politics@lemmy.world

[–] pool_spray_098@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

It's about what you'd expect honestly since she's been making $174k per year for a decent length of time now.

That game is hard to beat even with a fucking game genie, it's insane.

USA comparison in c/actually_infuriating@lemmy.world

[–] pool_spray_098@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (3 children)

FYI, many Americans do have many of these things, they just aren't mandated or evenly distributed to all citizens.

It's still fucked, though.

I see the Reddit hivemind has arrived in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

I was no fan of Ubuntu. It made me think about the OS nonstop.

Why is Firefox taking like 8 seconds to load the first time I run it? Much slower than Windows.

Why do all of my PPA packages break for months straight after a major OS update?

Why is my CPU using 100% of a core when I connect my Xbox controller? Turns out that was a bug in libusb that had been fixed OVER A YEAR AGO but Ubuntu's packages were so terribly out of date I couldn't have the fix yet. That was the last straw.

Moved to OpenSUSE and never looked back. My system is basically pristine now.

I love docker.... I use it at work and I use it at home.

But I don't see much reason to use it on a laptop? It's more of a server thing. I have no docker/podman containers running on my PCs, but I have like 40 of em on my home NAS.

So you tried to move a few screens down and accidentally deleted a few lines?

I don't know what you're talking about, to me it sounds like they've perfectly nailed the vim experience!

Well that would be even more impressive.
