Blaze it

OK so I have used several DEs but right now I’m on Plasma 6 because frankly, it’s the best out there. It’s easy to use, customizable, intuitive and looks nice. Is it on the heavier side? Yes, but that’s okay. Also it helps that I have learnt the keyboard shortcuts on this.

I have used XFCE, Mate and Cinnamon in the past. If KDE somehow vanished off the face of the planet, I would likely switch to XFCE because it’s light, customizable and fully functional.

if you mute ads on Spotify they pause the ad.

Usually most sane people go “Hunger is used to extract labour from people so rich people can make money, so we should change this state of affairs” not “this is good and how we should continue, in an evil usually the preserve of 19th century British Imperial officials.”

Isn’t this what Anarchists and other Anti-capitalists have been saying for well over 100 years? That despite having the ability for abundance, we use scarcity to extract labour from people to make rich fuckers money?

Next stop, we will make installing Linux on a Dead badger a reality.

This is just absolutely fucking horrible. Like it’s just unnecessary cruelty.

Yeah no shit.

Breaking community and individualism is kinda a big thing billionaires want because that way people can’t organise to rise up against them.

If History is anything to go by, poor people threatening the rich.

Oh there’s several ways, especially if you have poor opsec. People used to raid people’s twitch accounts and bring down their internet connections by looking for their username on Skype which had a vulnerability which they could use to find a person’s IP.

For swatters on the otherhand, they tend to either know the streamer themselves or they tend to be groups like KiwiFarms who are a lot more organised and do a lot of research and detective work, like looking at the video, looking for usernames elsewhere, looking for emails, and looking for location clues. It’s really fucked up. They found Keffels’s Motel by the sheets in her room. It’s bad enough if you do not think about these things and just have sloppy OpSec, but even if you do, they can still find you.

A lot more regularly that they do in the rest of the UK.

So (not so) fun fact: Keffals, who was targeted by KiwiFarms for being trans (yes that’s all) and got Swatted. She then went to stay with another streamer (EllenFromNowOn) in Northern Ireland. Just for information sake, Northern Ireland is still a bit rocky security wise, Police there still carry guns on the regular. So when she went there, Ellen called up the police and explained the situation to them (they had never heard of Swatting weirdly enough).

Sure enough, someone found her flat, posted her address (with a message referencing a Unionist Slogan, Ellen was from the Catholic Community), and sure enough, the police came. Instead of raiding her all guns blasing (which they normally would) they saw the warning, knocked on the door, saw nothing was wrong, called off the squaddies, and came in to basically make sure everything was okay.

Bare in mind, this was in Northern Ireland, a place where the Police still drive Armored cars and have regular riots, and they handled this better than the Police in London, Ontario.

How people who say we need to ban cycling because “I can’t take a sofa on a bike” think they and everyone else drives on a daily basis.

Speedrun strats?

Hmmmmmmm, do not like that. do not like that one bit.

I mean unless Mozilla starts getting sued by Ad companies to force them to ban ad blockers, I don’t think that will happen because being able to have ad blockers is a major selling point.

But even if it does happen, Firefox is open source and has been forked, so the next alternative is LibreWolf.

Of fucking course Bloomberg would describe Blizzard as “Microsoft’s ‘World of Warcraft’ Gaming staff.”

You joke but this is genuinely what a lot of newspaper headlines read when talking about younger people these days.
