I do and will share via PM if you promise to seed!

There is and I will share it with any and everyone willing to seed it, just PM me.

I’m imagining an NFL Redzone-like stream on PBS.

some truly world-shattering human-altering tech

Maybe say…climate change?

So really The Matrix should have taken place in a two dimensional world.

Alternatively, I would also accept renaming the trilogy to The Array, The Matrix, and The Tensor.

to bring in as many conservative muslims and Indians as possible

The fuck are you on about?

I’ve always got music on in the background. Less gaming nowadays, doing my best to read more books.

Disagree; the Patriot Act had plenty of easily determinable ways things could and did get worse.

If they could st[w]ill get away with doing this to gays and blacks it would be happening to them instead.

With the word “Princess” spelled out in diamonds washed in the blood of African children!

You fucking rule. Remember that. Even if somehow, some way this doesn’t go hot you are still a compassionate, empathetic, loving human being and I’m glad your personal community has someone as caring and alert as you.

Agreed. The media hasn’t been entirely compromised yet and reports on some of the more blatant corruption. There’s still absolutely corruption happening in the background (check out the OMB) but the true worry will kick in when the reports stop.

That said large portions of the population have been silo’d into echo chambers. That includes us (the royal us), frankly. The reports we see come from sources conservatives have written off years ago. Same for reports we see coming from sources that we have written off; Fox News et. al.

I believe our grievances with conservative sources are more founded in reality than the grievances conservatives have with “liberal media.” I also believe corporate- and billionaire-controlled social media eclipses traditional reporting in scope and engagement. They are the true arbiters of what is truth or mis-truth and that scares me more than Fox News.

I moved away from that exact situation so I feel for you. That sort of isolation from your immediate community feels so fucking terrible.

If you own the property you could act as a safe haven for less isolated, nearby friends/allies/good community. It may feel far-fetched now (or not, sounds like you’re in the shit) but better to plan and prepare now. A spare room in your home, a weather-proofed garage or shed, even some tents and sleeping bags could make a difference for a vulnerable human.

His second term is roughly 19% complete.

Project 2025 is approximately 48% complete.

ICE is still set to “Government black-bagging.” I’m not looking forward to the “Government death squad” setting, personally.

Make friends with your neighbors and watch each others backs.

At this point I’d nearly appreciate the removal of old.reddit or RES. My desktop browsing experience hasn’t changed in roughly a decade and a half and that’s a shitload of inertia. A few trims of my subscribed list has limited my exposure to the worst of the slop and botting.

Mobile is absolutely a different situation for both Reddit and Lemmy alike. I found Jerboa shortly after the API disaster and have stuck with it since, but I probably need to look into tweaks for desktop/browser Lemmy. RES and old.reddit are a killer combo but fuck their ‘official’ app and the ‘new’ interface.

Regardless, I no longer participate on Reddit and highly prefer interacting here; more interesting and informative conversations by far.

Keyboard and mouse input for the phone is a gamechanger for me. Having a manipulatable window that I can drag and drop files to is super nice as well.

Also since Slay the Spire doesn’t have cross-saving and all my progress is on my phone I can play it without staring at my phone.

Might I suggest EUAD for the anti-Russia play?

I agree with you in spirit but would also like to shill for scrcpy in general if you aren’t already using it. Mirroring phone screen to my laptop is fucking amazing.

Expensive to process safely and in an ecologically-conscious manner. Aka expensive in money but it’s important to note the environmental damage these processing plants can do when unregulated.

I dunno about thriving but Psyopus - Insects definitely nails the chaotic shitshow…
