Too real.

Windows 11 out of the box experience is terrible and getting worse.

If you're wondering how people in Gaza are online, they are able to use Egyptian and Israeli mobile networks with donated eSIMs:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connecting_Humanity

Apparently about 10% of Gazans have an eSIM through this org. Gaza is very thin (about 6-12 km wide) and has very long land borders so it's within range of multiple towers in neighbouring countries.

eSIMs don't require a physical SIM card, and phones are low power devices that can be charged through solar panels etc even when there is no mains power.

Personally I would recommend switching from saying antifa to just saying the full thing: anti fascism. By using the shortened version the fascists get to obscure it's meaning and trick people into not noticing how absurd it is to be anti anti fascist, and we shouldn't let them have that

That's what my screen reader says when it encounters a picture or screenshot of text with no alt text.
Just wasn't sure if some of you knew that.

KDE's shake-to-enlarge-mouse-cursor feature did not need to keep making it bigger as long as you keep shaking it with no upper limit. That was not necessary. But it was 100% the right call. Whoever wrote that code: I salute you.

I gotta tell you I will take the whole furry/alternative/LGBTQ++ scene over LinkedIn absolutely any day of any week of any year of my entire life. For one thing the opsec is far far better.

Light Mode this, Dark Mode that… not enough people are implementing Windows 3.1 Hotdog Stand Mode.

@skyfire747 what an awful interpretation. you act like the teacher is completely abstracted in this metaphor, but the danger is not just "the rumor," it's the rumor spreader. in this story it's the teacher, today it's fascists spreading xenophobia, racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. and back in salem it was the leaders of the witch trials.

if you knew anything about the history of the witch trials this would be glaringly obvious. the women designated as witches weren't arbitrary targets, randomly chosen to sow distrust, they were any women deemed too powerful, community leaders. the witch trials were a violent enforcement of patriarchy, so that the men leading the witch trials could claim more power.

rumor spreaders materially benefit from spreading rumors, they garner power through this mechanism. and i'm sorry to inform you but today's fascists aren't bipartisan, they're all on the right.
