I’ll wake up to socialism someday :)
The haruna video player can graphically open youtube links. Mpv can do it via cli. Freetube is generally a drop in experience.
Once they get server side ad injections working, I’m going to finally quit YouTube (until a workaround is found)
It’s a subsidiary owned by Google and they do market it as a way to learn a language via gamification rather than going to a class or textbooks. They definitely are trying to convince people that this app is going to be the most advanced way to learn a language.
The app has a lot of anti-features that require a paywall to bypass which is not a great thing for language learning which you’ll be doing the rest of your life basically.
If duolingo goes down (Google is notorius for killing projects) or further implements anti-features, unlike a FOSS program like Anki, your record of progress vanishes. Duolingo is a proprietary service as a software substitute.
If duolingo is helpful for you, sure, but remember what you’re supporting in the process.
When I was in high school my zionist peers absolutely hated these people. Like they would be called freeloaders who were piggybacking off of society who were going to replace the secular israelis and ruin Israel’s reputation.
Funny to see how fascism works.
Buy a framework laptop. The earlier gen models are <1000 and you can always upgrade in the future. Their intel core ultra laptops can solidly play baldurs gate III and their AMD models as well.
I believe in a multiracial democracy, one of economic rights, civil liberties, and that affirms the working class and the rights of women and LGBTQ+ people.
. If Nick Fuentes is gassing you up (even ironically) then you have failed as a human being lmao. Radlibs will say anything to get vulnerable people to side with them because they use people like Fuentes to threaten them.
I dream of the end of the US Empire and the destruction of the Global North. Fuentes and AOC are two sides of the same coin, they just want power and prestige.
edit: I guess critical support works here but she’s an USian radlib so it’s more complicated.
Duolingo sucks. This sentence has zero context to it and spanish is a context sensitive language that varies greatly.
You can get an older generation framework laptop, great Linux and Windows support and you can upgrade the computer down the line.
There’s like no coherent politics to the boys and i have accepted that. I like seeing homelander homeland people and superhero gore so he carries the entire show.
The Boys is capeshit just like marvel movies.
Aang’s never taken a life except all the times that he did and never felt anything about it.
I grew up thinking Patrick was a loser but he’s actually the happiest and most content resident of the Bikini Bottom.
Mr beast is just doing gameshow reality TV that’s corporate friendly. Pewdiepie is just a neo-nazi. Easy decision.
When the worst person you know is right type moment.
Proprietary antivirus software is a dirty bandaid they use instead of building sustainable supply chains on nonfree operating systems (because it’s all about grifting and conning people out of money and gatekeeping computers).
But yeah this was done probably because kaspersky was disabling anti-features on Windows and was killing the competition. Kaspersky’s full scale invasion of boomers’ computers.
You should watch vimjoyers series on NixOS as an introduction since he goes over a lot of the essential basics that may trip newcomers up.
Awkwardly looks at NixOS
NixOS is the most rewarding distribution to stick with, even though starting with it can be rough.
I’m convinced that the show was supposed to be an original story but in order for execs to sign on anything it has to be tied to an existing product/brand. So we end up with a wildly different tone but dressed in recognizable branding.
No need to pay script writers to revise drafts or costume/set designers for new designs. Just rename characters and make it vaguely like the source material.
It really felt like game of thrones when the brother and sister leads go to somewhere called “the cave of lovers”.
The only women here are trans women.
They say this like its a bad thing lmao.
Literally every joke has to be explained. Everyone here is either mentally a know it all teenager, or literally a know it all teenager.
They’re the adult in the room of course.
“just ssh the root config distro”
Yes linux support forums just say random stuff thay makes no sense, they’re the unhelpful ones.
Childrens programming, especially if it has gone on for long enough can radically change in tone/execution and the show in the movie has run for 5 seasons. But I personally think the Pink Opaque of Isabel and Tara never existed but were used as a way for Owen to disengage from their gender noncomformity. When Maddie returns, she asks Owen if they remember the Pink Opaque and the emphasis on memory can be due to Owen memory hole’d trans experience which get painfully dug up.
I mean, who hasn’t lived out their queerness in derivative media/fanfics? I personally head canon the tapes that Maddie sends as tapes of her acting out her own version of the show or something like that since queerness is so tied to self expression and creativity.
One part of the movie I really hated was how Isabel acted toward her caregivers/Owen treats their parents. Also the fact that Owen being half black is never touched upon. Race and transness intersect really hard so it was odd that it never came up (though Justice Smith is an incredible actor and played his role of repressed egg to near perfection). I also didn’t like Maddie/Tara, I think her character was too melodramatic for me personally. But thats probably due to the fact that the movie captures the trans zeitgeist of the 90s and early 2000s where transness was near invisible in western society unlike today (mashallah)
Mr. Melancholy represents the cynicism of a cishet society. The monsters that he sends to Isabel and Tara are children’s imagination (ice cream man) turned into nightmares. He ultimately sends Isabel to the midnight realm where she is forced into Owen who has to watch her own self be buried alive. He is the cruelty required to maintain cis-heternormativity in a capitalist society.
I’d argue it never becomes too late. Tara (Maddie) scribbles down “There’s still time” and Owen finally discovers Isabel trapped within him at his point of deepest despair. Director Schoenbaum said that they didn’t choose to write a explicitly “happy ending” because the trans journey for Isabel has just started as Owen can’t exist anymore.
I’m GNUing and Linuxing on KDE right now and I just realized I recreated GNOME without even realizing it until now. It’s not perfect, but it’s very amusing.
