That might be true but voting in fascists (who will make every single one of the problems worse) was the rational response?

Idk if it was a royal pain in the dick but you can be sure it was a peasant pain in the dick.

The problem is that the rest of us suffer along with them.

The ACA is not just about the marketplace. It also gives protections for preexisting conditions and sets minimal requirements for what must be covered in a health plan. So if the ACA gets repealed, everyone is affected.

Do better? Hahaha. It’s cute that you think we have a chance to do better. That opportunity was this time and we (doesn’t really matter who the we refers to) blew it. They’re not gonna let us do anything; there is no more next time.

Wtf you have to login to use notepad now? Wtf???

GlaDOS can run on just one potato.

Shit, if a porn star can score a triple double, I’ll take it.

My BIL is a Google engineer and he gave me (an iPhone user) a pixel 8 pro to test drive for feedback. The hardware is pretty darn solid and felt good in my hands and to my eyes. I really liked that it had both a fingerprint sensor and a facial recognition system to unlock. This made contactless payment a lot easier to use than an iPhone in my opinion. In general, the software is not as polished as iOS, but is more customizable and you can side load apps from alternate app stores like f droid, which is great. The killer feature as far as I am concerned is Firefox with uBlock.

Americans are fucking amateurs. In Japan (they also have stores in Hawaii and Guam) there is a retailer called Don Quixote (it’s like upscale Japanese Target). They play one song and ONE SONG ONLY on repeat during all business hours. 365 days a year.

Some people like the Apple ecosystem.

Ok I know this is c/bertstrips but I think imma turn off the internet for the day.

I don’t get it but I love it nonetheless.

What’s burritos, precious?

RIP 😭

I had the same problem - see this thread for solution (you have to scoll down to the middle)

in short, delete or rename this file: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules

I think it’s funnier that JRD got labeled as Gimli tbh.

Dude, a conservative headcount for COVID deaths in the US is a million.

I’m not technical enough to think it through carefully but I’ve always thought there was an opportunity for an organization like USPS to develop email 2.0 - something that gives people some kind of verifiable and secure email address so that users can easily find each other whilst filtering out spam (or to have spam taken into consideration in the design at the outset). You would design it based on strict standards that would be difficult to get around so that big tech could not easily co-opt it, and adopt for some kind of critical function (taxes, voting maybe?) so that it would encourage adoption en masse. Make it distributed so that users can selfhost it easily, safely, and securely.
