Good lord. So that’s why got me into trek as a teen

AI is 100% being trained using Lemmy.

I remember that too. I also remember reading a headline about a Brazilian far-right group travelling to the US to join a KKK meeting, then being upset that the KKK weren’t particularly welcoming towards them.

The stupidity is absolutely incredible.

Republican

advocate for people’s rights

You really can’t be both at the same time.

Of course you can, you’re just missing the subtext:

Advocate for people like me’s rights

Right wing beliefs have always been about empowering the “I’m alright, Jack” types (I don’t know if that phrase is known in the US, but here is an explanation if not). Purely for helping the powerful stay powerful, at the expense of everyone else.

Yeah what on earth? It’s not a health monitoring ring alternative, and doesn’t try to be. It’s a watch in ring form.

Smart rings/health monitoring rings are not the norm, I don’t see why any other ring would be automatically compared to them.

It’s not even like many people have heard of that brand of ring, so it’s not even the kind of clickbait that would attract people, like mentioning an Apple product or something would be.

I’m not much of a ring wearer, I don’t even wear my own wedding ring, but this one actually looks pretty neat to me. I hope the battery is as easy to replace as they claim it to be.

Because it shows that a sizable amount of people are at least anti-nazi enough to move platform.

Yes, it would be nicer if they moved to mastodon, but nobody even knows what that is, nobody is there (classic chicken and egg problem), and people get confused by the whole “choose an instance/server” thing.

Is it not ok to have a small celebration of people moving to a better, more positive platform, even if it is far from perfect?

Khan’s glorious chest not being featured is a disgrace

No shit? It’s run by ex-Twitter people, and Musk has brought a flamethrower to TwitterX.

“You’re serious? He needs a therapist with him to keep his anger under control?”

“That’s what our intelligence suggests, captain. And there’s more… he was once involved in a bar fight with multiple Nausicans. He was stabbed through the heart, then laughed at them. Should I answer his hail?”

“Oh fuck.”

Now show me these hundreds of others of US bases in Europe.

Oh wait, you can’t. They have 128 bases in total outside of the US, with a disproportionate amount of those in South Korea. Ergo, your claim that there are hundreds of them in Europe was a complete fabrication.

You evidently do not understand geopolitics if you believe Russia invading Ukraine is the US’s war.

And as for yelling slurs… mate, you literally just called myself and others mentally disabled for disagreeing with your pro-Russia tankie nonsense.

Now, I don’t know where you’re from, but where I live, calling someone disabled as an insult is definitely frowned upon, and considered a slur.

I have to say, that was a sub-par attempt at a straw man argument. I’ve seen far better.

Alas, the existence of US military bases outside of the US does not mean that Russia invading Ukraine is the US’s fault – It’s Russia’s fault.

You are also deliberately calling NATO bases US bases. They aren’t. They are NATO bases. NATO is a defence treaty where every member joined willingly. In fact, more are seeking to join, because of Russia’s aggression.

And yes, you are a tankie. Plain and simple.

Ok that’s actually pretty funny

I’m usually a defender of opt-out telemetry in Linux, what with it usually being trivial to untick in the installer, the telemetry not being invasive, the telemetry being private and not being able to identify people, it being used to actually benefit Linux rather than make money, and because opt-in telemetry is useless (as repeatedly stated by multiple Linux projects that I trust, such as KDE and Gnome)…

That said, holy shit this telemetry collects stuff it really should not be collecting. This is not what Linux telemetry should be. Doubly so from a distro with a troubled past in terms of management and security. This is a red flag.

American war

🥱

Yes, that’s exactly what they want.

“American war” is in their comment, and if you take even just a 5s look at their profile you can see them moaning about “Ukrainian propaganda”.

They are firmly on the side of Russia. A tankie. Lemmy has an unbelievable amount of them.

Whoopsié

No one in the last 25 years has ever seen it.

People didn’t just mass-destroy CRTs in 1999…

I bought an LCD TV in 2006 (a Sony Bravia that is still going strong) and that was earlier than most people I know switched

Ok fine. Why can’t cats play poker in the jungle?

Too many jaguars

Having to regularly plug your phone into a PC to back up 100GB+ of photos and videos over a USB 2 connection is not even remotely the same as automatic backups to iCloud that you can then access instantly, at any time, anywhere.
