That keyboard looks really nice, but the placement of the R CTRL would cause me fits.

~~WAT~~

I thought you meant that the right wing was covering up the religion of the attacker, not the hero, sorry.

I think graduation ceremonies should include a speech from the lowest ranked graduate. Let's hear from both sides.

Every time I hear someone using slavery as a metaphor, I'm reminded that an overwhelming majority of people don't know jack shit about slavery.

I understand that it's just the click-bait title and not super related to the actual text of the blog, but that's my point. This trivial rhetorical device is insulting to everyone who suffered under chattel slavery.

If you're still not convinced, realize that saying Americans are slaves because they're stupid (spoiler for the article), you're implying that enslaved people were likewise stupid and probably responsible for their condition.

don't put shit in people's food. It's a serious felony as it should be.

In my town a waiter put eyedrops into a rude customers drink. He went to the hospital and she went to prison.

My favorite cop jokes:

  1. how many good cops does it take to change a lightbulb? I'll let you know when good cops change anything.

  2. The cops are like a box of chocolates. They'll kill your fucking dog.

  3. Cops be like: You can't call me a racist! Look, my wife's eye is black.

AI doesn't exist. This is like asking an atheist why they hate god.

If you're talking about LLMs and the like, they're unpopular on Lemmy because tech people are over represented here and tech people understand how these technologies work and why all the hype isn't just false, but malicious.

You know how you right click something and can choose "save" or "copy"? That used to be two hole jobs.

Competition in the games industry causing the slop to fall to the bottom!

Do you really believe that markets and competition creates better products and services? How do you square that with basic observations about how the world is? If success was linked to quality, then Subway would be the worlds best food; Clash of Clans the best video game; and Tesla the best car.

The markets of the world say that Nvidia is worth more than the Pharmaceutical Industry.

Isn't this the reason Epstein and Trump broke up?

Every-time the owners try to pass off their revenue streams as a human right we need to remind them that "public squares" are publicly owned.

Nationalize Facebook!

 
 
 
 
 

I own Windows 11 and my computer and preferred OS (Fedora) support TPM and Secure boot. Is it worth the time to configure that stuff to run W11, or should I just continue to run W10 since I don't do anything but run a couple games?

I have a robust backup, so even a system wide Nuke is a day's worth of re-installing, worst case.

Honestly, since I boot W10 so rarely, it'll kinda be nice not to have to update it every time.
