Subtract the number of scammed people from that total and you’ll have your answer 👍

It’s really hard to time it just right but the theme to Jeopardy 👍

Get it wrong and it’ll really surprise you!

Just your average dead whale beheading to bring home the trophy. Nothing special!

Conservatives: This is how the zombie apocalypse starts… With one person refusing to let medical professionals know about their problem.

I’d use a very real scenario of immigrants and “merely visiting” foreigners who get sick spreading any given disease (e.g. How do you think we ended up with Zika in Florida?) but I know conservatives aren’t interested in reality. Even JD Vance knows that in order to get conservatives attention you need to promote fiction.

The correct response is for thousands of people to respond on Xitter with, “And no one is even trying to assassinate Musk 🤔”

Don’t ever change, Catholic Church. More and more people are starting to catch on. In 100 years there might not be a Catholic Church anymore and the world will be better for it.

This headline could’ve appeared every month for the past 2000 years. It’s just that only in modern times are priests and pastors facing actual consequences.

Is there a “consequence news” Lemmy community? Seems like this would fall under that category.

Oh my, what a crime: Insulting dead people 🙄

This is why the rest of the world thinks China:

• Obviously doesn’t have freedom of speech
• Is super authoritarian; in the dumbest ways

Back to the old days where only employees will get away with stealing.

The thing runs Windows so it’s not a Steam Deck competitor… It’s a has-been at launch.

Windows is absolute garbage for a handheld gaming device. When are these manufacturers going to learn and just ship the things with Linux? Many Chinese devices (made for running emulators) ship with some customized Linux so why aren’t more mainstream manufacturers doing it? Seems like a no-brainer to make a better device and save money on licensing costs.

Correct 👍

If you install Firefox Focus and make it your default browser on Android the Jerboa client (and others I think) will use it when loading links unless you have a specific app associated with a given URL (e.g. NYT app, NPR app, etc).

If you’re not familiar with Firefox Focus it’s a version of Firefox built for privacy. It basically makes it so that every URL you load behaves like a private browser tab. It also has ad-blocking built in which is sweet (though it doesn’t work on everything/not as good as uBlock Origin).

Oops: Just realized your question is related to Mastodon and not Lemmy. Though I’m certain that Firefox Focus would work the same way for Mastodon clients.

Actually, I just checked Tusky and yes, it does load URLs in Firefox Focus. So my advice is still good 👍

Of course they’re afraid! If you watched/listened to right wing media every day you would be too. That’s all they talk about: The other is out to get them. To make their lives harder. To turn their children gay/trans! To steal their jobs! To replace them, the true Americans!

If the world is too complicated for you to understand it sure feels great to hear someone simplify it for you like that. It’s not your dumb ass that’s causing any problems, it’s the others! The ones that aren’t like you! They don’t even look like you! They come from different places! They have strange and scary traditions and rituals you don’t understand! It must be a conspiracy! They’re out to take everything away from you!

The world can’t be that complicated, right? The Right believes that everything has a simple explanation. That’s why they love talking points. Right wing media embraces this to the extreme. A scientist listening to Fox News explain something like CRISPR might just barf; it’s that bad. Whereas non-mainstream right wing media wouldn’t even try and would instead just make something up like saying, “they’re using chemicals to turn the frogs gay.”

My thoughts exactly: Yes, Trump do please double down on the dumb! Expose the racism and sexism in your heart! Show the world what you really stand for! Don’t hold back, now: If you really think sharks are going to electrocute you and that the windmills are being constructed by liberals for the sole purpose of giving you cancer just let it all out. Use the world as your therapy couch 👍

It will force people like my neighbors–who already proudly display Trump signs in their yards–to reveal exactly the type of people that they are.

OMG! What’s it like‽ Did Linux become a mainstream desktop by then?

How’d you smuggle it back in time? And no: It doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that Linux maintained backwards compatibility for the ancient hardware we’re all running for that long 👍

This is just “learn by doing” 🤷

Works for me all the time. That’s how I learned parametric/generative 3D design, circuit board design, and embedded rust programming simultaneously. Ended up making this:

…but it’s just the latest in a long line of “ambitious projects that you currently don’t have the skills to complete.” Some worked out, some didn’t. I learned a shitton every time though (which is good because I’m a terrible traditional student 😁)
