- Comment on How would you actually tax the ultra wealthy? 4 hours ago:
That’s just progressive tax brackets with extra steps.
- Comment on How would you rate your country's constitution? 17 hours ago:
On the other hand, Trump’s been busy trying to rule by decree. Being able to do that at all is an issue.
- Comment on How would you rate your country's constitution? 17 hours ago:
As I understand it from there, it’s the government that works, but the PMs that can get dismissed often. Unfortunately, the right-wing populists like to stay over time.

- Comment on Chuck Norris haven't go gently to the dark 1 week ago:
To be fair, I liked the jokes too. I found it rather sad that he decided to spend his life backing heinous movements instead.
- Comment on Dumb bitch 1 week ago:
Or is it the large companies’ and the capitalist system’s fault for not focusing on general wellbeing, instead looking at profit for everything, even if that means pollution?
- Comment on Chuck Norris haven't go gently to the dark 1 week ago:
He wrote columns for a far-right website, was a Reagan “fan”, wanted to ban same-sex marriage, disliked criticism of Jehovah’s Witnesses’ practices and shaved it off as “but but look at black people!”, was a conspiracy nut on Obama’s citizenship, supported Israel and Netanyahu the Genocider, and signed a weapon deal with Glock when school shootings happened recently.
- Comment on Do people actually need a place to confess things anonymously? 2 weeks ago:
Given the fascist regime, privacy is an absolute right.

Cyanide as well, rather dangerous for dogs.

Bro I have to thank you for making me laugh irl, a brain urinating on itself. I nearly spat out my drink

- Comment on What differentiates Lemmy, Kbin, Mbin, and PieFed? 2 weeks ago:
Communities are largely similar, but the underlying hardware and tweaks are slightly different.
- Comment on My mom really love NBC Good News tonight. How come there isn't a show where they report on the good news of the day instead of all the bad crap all the time? 3 weeks ago:
If you only ever hear bad news, this can also demoralise and disincentivise people from taking action. That’s why I usually balance them a bit, to avoid doomscrolling.
- Comment on I suck at reading comprehension... what the heck does this law even mean? [8 U.S. Code § 1451 - Revocation of naturalization] 3 weeks ago:
Isn’t Signal readable through Israeli spyware the US bought?
Threema then, I’d say.

Like a gift economy thing?
- Comment on Which Linux Distribution has the best Community Support? 3 weeks ago:
Live image and test?
do you mean I’d download a distro, put it on a USB, and then extract/open it in there, and test it out?
(and ofc, saving my data on my own desktop on an external hard disk, before committing to switch)?
- Comment on Which Linux Distribution has the best Community Support? 3 weeks ago:
Would it work for general usage too?
Within Linux I see ‘beginner’, ‘intermediate’ and ‘advanced’ users mentioned, but I’m not sure where I’d fall, or what those would roughly denote.
Like I’m familiar with what a terminal is and how it can be used for commands, I’m not like an old grandma not knowing what the big red X button does, I know not to delete system32 or to avoid sudo rm rf, but I’m not familiar with a shell, setting up an IP of your own, that stuff. I think this would label me as an average user for whom intermediate distros would be possible, but I’m not sure.

Re: the EndeavourOS, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed also has a nice installer, no?
- Comment on Awkward interaction with my doctor 4 weeks ago:
This is honestly the answer.
- Comment on What do you think of Paramount merging with Warner Bros. Discovery to create a new media company? 4 weeks ago:
Terrible, it should never be allowed that companies can grow this large.
- Comment on Apologies if I'm making an incorrect judgement, but does anybody else get dystopian propaganda vibes from the Working with Cancer Pledge? 4 weeks ago:
Definitely dystopian, yes. It’s your classic “Go work, you’re not ill at all” bullshit. I recall the story of a mum who had to work while having to undergo stressful chemo, being in the hospital. All because if she took more than a few days off, she’d be ineligible for health reimbursements etc.
- Comment on Fresh dystopian hell from Samsung fridges with ads. 5 weeks ago:
Why’d one buy a “smart” fridge with spyware? Wouldn’t it be better to buy a dumb fridge?

getting progesteron :3
- Comment on Anon learns the dangers of polyjuice potion 1 month ago:
Polyjuice would be a nice thing tbh. I could imagine it being OP for people who want to permanently swap bodies. Just collect a lot of hair, cut in tiny snippets so you can last a lifetime with it, wait for each others’ hairs to grow back, and let’s go.
