Sure but they still wouldn’t have my email password or recovery codes, which was my point.

Print or write down your recovery codes, and stash them in a safe spot. And don’t store your primary email password in bitwarden either.

With your current setup, you’re one keylogger away from losing all your stuff.

Thing is, the Dems weren’t doing nothing. It was far too little, yes, and people were right to protest and put pressure on them.

But Trump literally said Gaza is destroyed (never mentioning why, mind you), and that the best course of action is for the Palestinian people to just give up on Gaza and go to Egypt or Jordan. He doesn’t care at all, except for the prime beachfront properties of course.

Trump lifted at least two sanctions imposed by Biden:

• delivery of 2000-pound bombs
• asset freezing of illegal settlers

So while Biden’s effort was mediocre at best, Trump’s approach is objectively worse, and will result in even more suffering for the Palestinian people.

As others have said I believe the meme didn’t originate in Russia, but was used disparagingly by its enemies. That said, a Russian author did write The Last Ringbearer, an alternative perspective on the events of LOTR:

Kirill Yeskov bases his novel on the premise that the Tolkien account is a “history written by the victors”.[1][2] Mordor is home to an “amazing city of alchemists and poets, mechanics and astronomers, philosophers and physicians, the heart of the only civilization in Middle-earth to bet on rational knowledge and bravely pitch its barely adolescent technology against ancient magic”, posing a threat to the war-mongering faction represented by Gandalf (whose attitude is described by Saruman as “crafting the Final Solution to the Mordorian problem”) and the Elves.[1]

Sounds familiar?

Yeah, it also says that they have a low opinion of the local government, which they blame when the reforms promised in the state press fail to materialize.

Regardless of the country, I’m very suspicious about such unanimous acclaim. There’s just no way 9 out of 10 people are happy with any given government. Have you ever been in a group of more than 10 people, trying to make a choice that’s OK for everyone?

Look, I’m not saying that the west is perfect and China is horrible, but maybe try considering the opposite is not true either.

Yes, I am aware that .ml lives in a fantasy world where there are no dissidents in China. It also helps that speaking ill of the CCP has never been harshly repressed in China.

OK maybe not started (couldn’t find a definitive origin), but they did use it quite a bit.

Additionally, the original image of Xi and Obama together as Pooh and Tigger, and the subsequent picture of Xi and Shinzo Abe as Pooh and Eeyore, emerged as group pictures of world leaders, but only the comparison of Xi to Pooh stuck.

Maybe because the others didn’t throw a tantrum about it. Or maybe because Chinese users have to use euphemisms and memes to avoid censorship.

Further, that doesn’t explain the immense popularity among westerners in portraying Xi as a yellow bear, nor why it seems to be especially popular among western right-wingers.

If you say so. I for one had not seen this meme for quite some time and had completely forgotten about it until you brought it up.

You’d have to ask the Chinese internet users who started the meme. Or there is a detailed wikipedia article if you’re interested in the backstory.

I think he meant SSN.

Bonus: Elon “fuck yourself in the face” Musk pretending to be shocked.

The title text mentions imagemagick, there are other examples in the wiki.

It’s the amount of data you can download from the usenet network. The data can be anything stored on Usenet servers, but the overwhelming majority of users use it for piracy: movies, tv shows, music, video games, you name it.

Wayland itself can’t crash, it’s just a set of protocol specs. The implementation you’re using (gnome/KDE/wlroots…) does. Obviously this doesn’t solve your problem as an end-user, just saying that this particular issue isn’t to blame on Wayland in itself.

Lots of modern indie or AA games are cheap and really, really good.

I went through all of these, and honestly plugging in a single cable into your laptop and having power, external display, network and input peripherals all connect instantly is pretty damn cool.

The point is also to minimize potential damages caused by a bug in the software. Just this year there have been multiple data-destroying bugs in publicly released software. If the app runs as a server it’s usually trivial to have it run as a dedicated user, with just enough permissions to do its job.

It’s just good practice, even though the risks might be low why risk it at all?

I used Ubuntu at work a couple of years ago. When they announced the switch to snaps I didn’t really care, but when they switched Firefox to the snap version it had quite a few issues like really slow startup, inconsistent theming, and problems with some extensions. So I uninstalled the snap, installed the standard DEB and went on with my work.

But then the issues came back, and it took me some time to figure out they had replaced the actual DEB package with an unholy shim which just installed the snap. THAT really pissed me off, so when I got a new laptop I just installed Arch and my only regret was not doing it sooner.

Like it or not, ads are still the most popular way to pay for online content. I despise ads and I hope some kind of micro-payment solution catches on and offers an alternative, but until then there needs to be a way to reward people for their work, so ads and full-on subscriptions it is.
