  • I was flying to south East Asia, looking at the digital map of the plane. From above, you can kinda see the country lines.

    What made me feel that incredible sadness is that within a 1000 mile radius, a child born might live in a world where they struggle with starvation and have worms in their stomach, or wake up each day with anime and toys. Some countries have so much wealth and resources. Where others barely have anything. I think about all of that as I fly to my vacation destination, having been incredibly lucky to have been born in a pretty wealthy country.

    One could argue that you can be poor/abused anywhere. But there’s a clear difference in quality of life here.

    Only if they include the link.

    I prefer the screenshot to a webpage because

    1. If it’s a shit site, I don’t want to give it clicks and revenue

    2. News sites have a history of manipulating the title over and more to maximize views

    3. Images are easy to scan within the Lemmy app. Versus kicking me to a browser that has to fetch data somewhere.





  • As a Linux user, I shit on Linux tutorials being obtuse because the solution is often like “then sudo [command]” and now run these 8 other commands. But at least with Linux commands, a smart person can piece together what’s going on.

    Windows, it’s even worse. It’s like a bunch of black boxes talking to other black boxes so after you right click to enable that property and add this registry key, you then have to reboot into your bios to turn on “Fuckboi” mode and take photos of your asshole for verification, then log into your Microsoft account to get this Powershell script and now you can finally see your children again.








  • Id prefer if he faded to obscurity. I liked his music growing up, but fuck Ye.

    How many 80s-2010s musicians do we still see in the news? When was the last time you heard about the band Sugar Ray?

    Instead, I have to see this idiot pop into my feed at least once a week. The racist fuckface is also wandering around Tokyo making an album. I know about that because of these random stories on social media.
