I’m tempted to assume you’re a Labour equivalent of a blue MAGA, but I will assume you’re actually confused so I will clarify.

Several years ago, many postmasters were charged with criminal charges for stealing money that never existed, there was a bug in the Fujitsu software. Badenoch maintains to this day as far as I am aware that the postmasters DID steal the money and perfectly conspired to frame Fujitsu. Perhaps you are unaware of this incident or her position on it.

I’m not debating the definition of neoliberalism with someone who doesn’t characterize a pro-privitization “centrist” who extirpated all the labor advocates out of Labour as neoliberal and then goes all patronizing in a frankly asinine way, sorry.

I am also not debating if it is possible for one of the two major UK parties to regain power within a decade while Starmer’s Labour is already underwater in polls. You’re a VERY condescending person, you might want to work on that if you actually want people to engage with you.

Wow, a jackass I need to block on .world. SHOCKER!

I love her Fujitsu postal bug truther stance. It’s so wonderfully unhinged! Given how Starmer’s neolib Labour has decided they want to be the Truss/Sunak Tories on policy, she has a non-0 chance of becoming PM this decade!

God, that guy is the biggest asshole on the planet. The fact that he is a mod is such an indictment of Lemmy.world… I actually suspect they’re not even human, but a K-Hive bot from the 2020 primary they plugged ChatGPT into and it went mad.

Take the plunge! It’s honestly better here blocking .world

No sweeter sound than “Hello, this is Linus Torvalds and I pronounce ‘Linux’, Linux” although in 90’s Linux’s defense, sound on 90’s Windows was also a zoo. At least once it was working on RedHat, it worked. Same box with windows 95, every boot you’d fear the sound driver was magically broken again necessitating a full wipe and reinstall…

It’s possible that it’s inferred off the digital footprint of you pirating the content, also. People freak out a lot about being listened to, but I’d argue that’s an inefficient spying mechanism they probably don’t lean heavily on if they can avoid it. We’re all living on platforms that are knowably spying on everything you click on or read or do online and feeding that into giant AI models with everything about you. Like just by watching a pirated video on a Google TV device, Google’s hashing that and phoning that data home, possibly even matching that to the specific file, and adding that to an ad profile.

Anything I need to actually write code on, Gnome, because I’m addicted to mac-style gesture controls, but hate the holier than thou design philosophy Jony Ive bullshit; anything casual, KDE; but I am planning to try out Cosmic on something soon

Don’t forget those lucky duckies deemed unworthy of even having the opportunity to compete in our meritocratic job market!

Hard to say with an unknown unknown. There’s no way to know what exact vulnerabilities exist or how they could be chained with other exploits. Think of it like not having your brakes promptly serviced. It’s probably fine, but it’s also possible 5% worse breaking leads to a 30 car pileup that causes a fertilizer factory to explode. In all likelihood nothing would happen, worst case, Frozen Bubble introduces an old library, opening you up to a chain of attacks where the attacker totally owns your device, plays the long game, using it to own your home and work networks, and steals your life savings, has you fired, and sends your nudes to all your grammar school teachers. Or something in between.

💯😭💯

Frozen bubble is a joy, and I really don’t see how it’s a big vulnerability. Just don’t give it internet perms (which it shouldn’t need). I guess in theory it makes the device less secure, but in a world where they purposefully leave vulnerabilities in the chips for the cell connection itself, nobody with the resources to do so is going to bother engineering a chain attack utilizing a 20 year old FOSS game installed by .00005% of users.

Imma be a total dweeb and give the correct answer. Jesus is just Josh in Greek. There’s many meticulous Roman records about messianic rebels in Judea, not a single Josh among them. One possible interpretation would be that the Romans were so invested I’m erasing Jesus from history, they removed the Joshes, but Christianity was a NON-factor before 77AD, so doubtful Roman clerks were furiously burning records to cover up a messianic figure nobody would give a shit about for a century.

The earliest 1st century CE images have Jesus portrayed like a little Harry Potter of indeterminate race, which seems weird since he’s supposed to be 30, but maybe it’s a Michael J Fox situation, where he points his magic wand at images of the miracles (like loaves and fishes) but it’s more likely he never existed (thus the absence of that Josh in the meticulous records).

Rome around this time was religiously divided between an ostensible state religion of the Roman pantheon we all know and love and various “cults” such as The Cult of Saint John, which predates Christianity – you can think of his appearance in Christianity like how Munch from Homicide: Life on The Streets carried over to Law & Order: SVU. Other cults were influential among various groups – Cult of Isis and Osiris was for the nerds, Mithraism was for the jocks, Cult of Cybele was for the ladies.

Constantine, when he came to power, desperately wanted to reboot the Roman state religion with more of that slick theocratic energy they saw in Judea, so he decided the answer was scrapbooking: He’d call the religion Christianity, but Jesus would be sexy Apollo, and God would be bearded Zeus, both of Greco-Roman imagery. The marriage ceremony would come from Isis and Osiris, and they shoehorn in mother imagery from Cybele and Skandamata, creating Mary iconography. Throw in a dash of baptism from John the Baptist and Mitraism’s bath in bull’s blood, and voila! Christianity as we know it.

So the tl;dr is that’s not your Jesus, that’s Sexy Apollo with a Jesus skin mod, and there never was a historical Jesus, he never existed

If you move to the I-95 corridor NY or north you don’t need to deal with this. All the classic rock stations play Dirty Deeds and 3 other AC/DC songs and Teenage Wasteland on a loop, and have for 20+ years.

I’ve seen them work on Freetube in the past although idk how, and maybe they no longer do

I hear ya

Get up in the dark, go to work, get out in the dark… 💀😭💀

Uh… Okay… How is saying it’s fair for Hezbollah to do the same to Israelis with the evacuation BS “Zionist?”

I mean, if you can just command citizens of other countries to evacuate their homes so you can blow them up… What’s good for the goose is good for the gander…

There really are only two because the states, except a few like Vermont, legally recognize and run elections for the duopoly parties. That confers legitimacy you don’t have when you’re running your own internal primary like a UK party, and makes it logistically impossible for third parties to actually challenge the duopoly. That’s why the elites shit a brick when we protest about Palestine but dgaf if we bother to vote or not, because it’s a CCP picking the options for Hong Kong situation.
