Would-be despots like this general should be tried in a court of law and executed rather than jailed. A stronger message must be sent to all that fascists meddling in the democratic process are not tolerated and will dealt with swiftly.

Do not give them any space to try again because they will over and over leaving large numbers of dead women and children.

Fuck fascism and fuck fascists.

Both of them audibly and uncontrollably fart instead of just Donnie VonShitzenpantz

I don’t want either. If I miss out on something, life goes on. Half the fun is finding things out for myself.

I put my mom on Ubuntu with KDE 10 years ago. I had far less problems with her on Linux than I ever did with Vista and 7. It got to the point she was calling me multiple times a week.

I didn’t have to but I did one Ubuntu reinstall in that entire time only because I made /boot the default partition size at installation and years later it filled up constantly. I got sick of going over there to clean it up and it coincided with her getting a new computer.

My mom installed printer drivers, and Cisco VPN software from run packages instead of apt and set up multi- monitors on her own after I taught her how to use the terminal, so it’s possible for the elderly.

Who cares.

Shit, I still have a physical DVR and even things I set to never delete will get auto deleted on a whim.

Congrats on getting out!

Huh? There have always sects of Protestantism that were more conservative, but by-and-large Catholicism is against birth control, abortion, homosexuality (maybe not this pope, with homosexuality) but trans rights, priests marrying, women worship leaders, etc. Sure not one Protestant sect is going to allow everything, but growing up Catholic and then converting to Lutheranism they didn’t have a problem with birth control, pastors having families and stuff.

And that not mentioning the more liberal small churches that didn’t had exceptions to everything.

Don’t get me wrong, they all have a long way to go still. They all teach we are all god’s children but then immediately backpedal

I’ll take my fucking chances. Whenever some right wing cunt makes some statement like this my first thought is they’re full of shit and the only they make stupid statements like this is because they stand to lose money

Don’t forget Catholicism spent centuries converting with a sword and their missionairies destroyed all remnants of native cultures history once they were converted. That’s an awful lot of discrimination from Catholics.

If you are curious look up the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther and his 99 Theses.

I’m paraphrasing and my thoughts on what I experienced this but it came down more to the idea that Catholics worship the pope and the saints more than god and jesus. If you were the leader of a nation that called themselves Catholic you could find the Pope telling you what to do when it came to war and if you declared war on another Catholic country the Pope could tell you to stop or to declare peace. To not do so was in danger of having all other Catholic nations declare war.

Not to mention the many saints you are required to pray to, Purgatory and praying for the dead, all of the rituals, services in Latin, worship of the virgin mother, the schism that split the church between two Popes who excommunicated each other, etc.

Protestantism did away with all of that. No single leader, the ability to create different sects that didn’t make you an apostate of the church, etc. Now don’t get me wrong even the same sect don’t always believe the exact same things and it can get pretty nit-picky, but Protestantisn can change with the times more easily than Catholicism can.

The goal was to make less of a ritual cult like Catholicism had become, and more of a focus on the meaning of the the actions of jesus, being able to actually get to heaven without all of the pomp and circumstance that really meant nothing, and all that crap.

The worry is the President would be more loyal to the other Catholics than the rest of the nation and would be bound by cult rules than the will of the people.

Ironically enough right now it’s the Catholic President trying to stop rights from being taken away while there are both Protestants and Catholics in the Supreme Court and other facets of the government that are working so hard to do the opposite.

If cable, cell, ISPs and companies of that ilk are any hint, we’ll have to pay the upcharge on the items themselves, all of the food delivery company’s fees and surcharges, and then get double-dipped from the driverless car company for those same fees. They’ll also tack on a fee to rent the car while it drives to our homes, another fee for each second it sits waiting for us to go grab the food, a fee for each second of cloud computing time as it updates to the network, a fee for the electricity it uses, and as part of the Eula, we must top off the car’s batteries from our own charging stations thereby incurring that cost as well.

Fuck off Google. This makes me think that RCS is a steaming pile that is easily susceptible to hijinx unless Google blocks power users from their hardware.

Hence the double quotes. During the ceasefire someone in Hamas will stupidly fire a rocket not even in the direction of Israel, someone in Hamas will use it as an opportunity to catch Israel off-guard and fire a rocket towares Israel, Israel will lie and say a rocket was fired at them, or an IDF soldier will fire a rocket and say it was a Palestinian.

In all cases the bouncer from New Jersey will retaliate by slaughtering a massive number of women and children and maybe a combatant or three.

Gee, I wonder what will happen the second Israel gets their hostages back and the “2 months” is over?

Have you learned nothing from paywalled articles and blogs from 2002? You get them interested in what you have to say. Make them laugh. Compliment them. Put in a little work first.

By then you’ll both be so into it that nicely asking for what you want to do is a mere (but neccessary) formality (consent is always required – Ed.).

Then after a few paragraphs you whip out the unskippable popup and stop the fun until they show you the goods, and they’ll give up that fake email address you want so bad willingly.

You don’t go right for it right out of the gate and shoot your wad immediately. It’s a good way to make sure no wants to check you out again. It’s just bad form. People talk.

The link from Lemmy takes you to an email sign-up page instead of actual content that requires you click “No Thanks” first before you can continue. I should have stopped there but I didn’t. To bypass the sign up page copy the link and remove the “r” variable from the query string first.

The only thing I saw referencing Nobaru linux was a link near the top of the page to who knows where. The rest of the page is filled with words haphazardly forced together against their will, and it shows.

Use whatever distro you feel comfortable with. That being said, there are definitely good ones and bad ones. I use Arch btw. That’s the beauty of Linux tho. You can try a distro and if you dont like it you can literally install a new distro over the old one by blowing away everything but the /home partition. Did I mention yet I use Arch? I use Arch btw. The package managers are such a great tool to get a system up and running in a short time, but you can always compile everything from scratch if you want. You can config your programs with the default settings and let the OS do it for you, or you can micromanage every single config option and take a little more time to personalize your machine. I’ve told you I use Arch? I use Arch btw.

Yeah, Linux is great! And in case you were wondering I use a distro called Arch Linux.

And to help keep GM from going bankrupt they took concessions a decade ago or whatever that they never got back. Now they want back what they had and some more to account for the ridiculous inflation and corporate greed we’ve seen since then across all of corporate America. I don’t see why that’s so unreasonable.
