  • I actually made three new friends on new years eve completely through mentioning Linux. We were at a party and I had a really bad year last year so I was rusty in the “talking to people” department, the few people I knew there, who are indie games devs that don’t use Linux, said something (can’t remember exactly what) that made me reply with a Linux joke and those three people moved their chairs closer to me with a “ooooh, a linux nerd, let’s fucking go” energy. We went on such a nerd dive that they party host told us that we aren’t allowed to talk Linux anymore or we’d have to leave.
    We talked a lot more through the night and had to really concentrate to not get thrown out, haha.


  • That really doesn’t fit here IMO. It took decades of bullshit, law breaking, blatant spying, hostile persuasion etc. of US IT being forced onto the world, and without Trump and the fucking nightmare circus that’s going on this wouldn’t have happened. The world would have kept bending the knee and even inviting all of it forever, it took THIS MUCH to get the world to take a step back and realise that this isn’t a good thing.






  • It’s not even about anyone daring to question the authority, it’s anyone who they decide in that very moment is a threat (based on no logic at all). There are so many videos of American cops demanding people to do things they clearly can’t do or just are impossible to do, like two different things that are exclusive to each other. And tons of other videos of people doing exactly what they’re told but no the cop(s) already decided that they’re a threat no matter what.

    Not at all, it’s mostly due to how easy it is to fake now. There are still lots of sightings, especially of UFOs but very rarely do they go “viral”. And the vast majority are pretty easily explained which happens a ton with both new and old ones. But then there are others where all we can do is go “huh, that’s weird”.
    I’m far from a conspiracist but there are things that are just so odd that it’s hard to explain. Doesn’t mean it’s aliens though, obviously. And as we can’t just go back in time to discover what it was there’s nothing to do about it.


  • Did you somehow miss the anti-ICE demonstrations throughout most of the US the other day? Something that’s been widely reported both in MSM and everywhere else (including here, being at the top of all several times). And I’m not even American and saw it everywhere for a couple of days. Yeah, there are some people who root for ICE, but it’s not even close to “most”. Same as some still like Trump, but the majority hate him.
