About to leave my job that I hate and start a new one :)

The 1993 Super Mario Bros.

As campy and crappy as it is, it never fails to put a smile on my face and make me laugh, that movie rules.

That sounds fucking awesome

How difficult it is to remove Google’s bloatware.

Firefox with ublock origin for both desktop and mobile.

Those two programs alone block out like 75% of the annoyances and dangers of the modern internet. Near-complete removal of ads and a couple nice healthy adware and malware guards on top of that.

Add on a VPN and a few more Firefox extensions and I feel that I can browse the net anxiety-free.

The EXACT same thing has been happening with me and google captchas. I just switched to Proton VPn, and while I like it, the amount of capctchas I’ve had to poke through is ridiculous.

This is extremely helpful, thank you!

Is there anything you’d recommend as a migration tutorial from someone who’s used windows their whole life?

I still use the same gmail I made when I was 10, roughly 2005-ish.

Here you go! My fault, I forgot the proper title.

There’s an extremely good Alternate History Hub video that just came out about, what if John Adams died before he became 2nd president?

It’s REALLY good and goes deep into the divide between Jefferson and Hamilton. Awesome video from an awesome channel.

My world, Radia, which centers around aura manipulation and those skilled enough to turn said aura into magical weapons and spells!

Does Lemmy have a Rimjob Steve yet? Lmao

Midtown Madness, holy fuck there’s a name I haven’t heard in like 20 years. Hell yeah.

I personally know one individual who was going to write-in RFK who will now be voting Harris. So far, it’s definitely having a positive effect.

That’s a really good point. Perhaps I am thinking too defensively. If someone as progressively strong as her does run, it will give them the excuse to ramp up their attacks on her, but also ramp up our attacks on them.

True, but there’s also a VERY loud dissent against her on the right, which they would be happy to run with in their ads up to the election. The right - and the sponsors behind them (Russia, chiefly) - ate experts at loudly dispersing disinformation with their rhetoric (see: anti-vaxers, everything about trump, etc), and having AOC in the spotlight would give them a lot of ammo in the form of ThE rAdIcAl LiBeRaLs “talking over the executive office” etc. I just don’t trust that the milquetoast voting public wouldn’t buy into that loud rhetoric enough to not siphon more votes than they would gain. Unless that’s too pessimistic of me?

The American public isn’t yet ready for AOC in executive office, as great a she would be. Her time is yet to come.

That’s very true. I like the play of "more than a bit of chaos on both sides rather then stubbornly try and defy the headlines and possibly fail. As we see with Trump’s truth social post, whining about getting back the money spent campaigning against biden. They’re just as unprepared for this than the democrats.

Definitely should have happened 6 months ago, but better late than never - something about planting a tree.

This also robs the GOP of the hE’s ToO oLd argument, which is one of their only effective attacks.
