I am not religious, at all, and I tend to think religion has caused a lot more problems than it has solved.. But they're not all the same. Many churches are tolerant & accepting of gay/queer/trans folks.

Happy #PortfolioDay! I'm hby here's some of my #pixelart.
The doctors are going to have some issues when they try to give him a blood transfusion and can't figure out what blood type Black Goo from The Fifth Element is.
I waited hours for this cloud to come near the lake #lightning strike reflection.
apt use of the word*
I think it's particularly use of the word since he's actively doing things he does not have the authority to do, such as using emergency declaration powers to impose tariffs. He doesn't have the EXPLICIT power to do these things But he does them anyways... So it seems to me a valid phrasing.
Well some people didn't like the slip-n-slide with water and fun times and health care and school and infrastructure... They preferred the raw slip n slide with rocks and dirt and dead pregnant women.
My bad I like calling them cons since their leaders are con-men and they should be convicts :)
You're either being dishonest or are extremely lucky, in my personal and professional experience macs are a massive pain in the ass. As much as windows? IDK. Maybe not. But NEVER have to troubleshoot software? What? BTW I also abandoned windows 100%, fuck that hot mess.
There's not a lot of physical newspapers left in the world.... But on the day it happens if you can snag one you should because it'll be valuable, guaranteed.
The entire internet is making "maybe maybe maybe" style jokes and the conservatives are having a real difficult time coping and pretending like the anti-trump people are just living in echo chambers when it's EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE other than them.
The con subreddit has some absolutely hilarious cope as they call the entirety of the internet an echo chamber for celebrating his death before it even happened. I think they really believe that outside of reddit most people are either indifferent or don't mind Trump. Too funny when reality hits
The truth is they are both power users, they're just accustomed to their environment so it doesn't seem like it.
People tend to dismiss the issues they tackle and solve with their personal computers because they grew up with them and fixing those problems just seems...normal. So "macs just work" for mac people and "near zero problems with windows" for windows people
Look at where China was 30 years ago. If they keep up this momentum imagine 30 years from now.
My god through all that cynicism have you even considered how many billions of dollars broccoli-headed techbros made? It's as if that doesn't even matter to you.
Totally agree, Apple employs a huge amount of toxic anti-patterns. But they aren't data brokers like Microsoft and Google are (perhaps I should say: YET) so when it comes specifically to privacy they win. That said? I use linux, so this is like comparing prisons when I've already escaped ;)
Meanwhile a cis white male gets fired from work and they gotta trick him, time it right, ya know so he doesn't bring an assault rifle into work and murder everyone in the office because he had a bad day.
Every politician and half the country tells trans people we hate them and wish they were dead... Despite this TOTAL disenfranchisement from representative government they RARELY do something horrible to other people.
The rich have positioned themselves in a way that if we were to remove them we will cause significant suffering to ourselves. Like a tick.
My MAGA mom: "Democrat cities are burning to the ground!!" Me: "Mom I live downtown San Jose it's simply not true" Mom: *believes fox news instead of own child*
I have $100 in untraceable cryptocurrency that is yours if you can make walkable neighborhoods happen.
ooooo neat topic, will have to give this a look
I'm no mac fanboy but it really doesn't. Mac has things like App tracking transparency, privacy labels, differential privacy. In general their privacy policy protects the consumer. Microsoft meanwhile has NONE of that, their policy allows blanket collection and they certainly do exactly that.
i hear we're drawing Watto
Not all hardware is both Windows and Mac compatible. Apogee audio products for example are only officially supported by Mac. Creative sound cards only officially work with windows PCs. Expecting linux to have 100% parity is unreasonable when it's not expected of mac/windows.
I was terrified to watch the musical episode but it's now my favorite episode of SNW...probably top 10 favorite episodes across all trek
I mean, let's not lose sight that you make 40 minute long videos about how to properly use a dishwasher...............and that legitimately helped people including myself 🤣
Contacting and delivering encrypted payloads to telemetry servers even with telemetry disabled? The battle against the concept of a local account? Default bitlocker and cloud-based key storage???? More managed services that never actually get MANAGED? Fuck M$ I'd sooner use a mac.
I dropped windows because I could no longer tolerate the abusive nature of windows 11 which is obviously only going to continue and get worse. Re-enabling disabled features during updates? Screenshotting your desktop for AI you have no intention of using?
How exactly did giving your login keys to microsoft make windows login any more difficult to bypass? Bitlocker made it harder to get the files, sure--Which also means the hundreds of people per year who take their broken drives into a data recovery expert are SOL
If you have some extra time, and care at all, you should take a look at Linux Mint-- It's at a similar state of usability to windows and mac. I've been on it 8 months now and I haven't used the terminal for anything, every issue or customization has been doable via GUI like win/mac.
That's totally fair we only have so much bandwidth in our lives for dealing with things. I don't think modern linux takes much bandwidth but it does take SOME because it doesn't come pre-installed like windows does. So one way or another it takes SOME effort. Not everyone's got time for that
What should be disturbing is the idea that what microsoft does to us is acceptable behavior. When someone proudly declares "I use linux" like a vegan announcing their veganness you must understand it comes from a place of pride "I escaped the prison!" - Linux users declaring they use linux.
It's wild to me that people have accepted that Microsoft has both the decryption and login keys to all windows desktop systems outside of a corporate network....and virtually no one sees this as a problem .... at all..
I don't understand? I lived in Japantown (San Jose) for years, on 2nd st. I'm not Japanese but I've recommended Gombei to many people... I even got one Japantown sticker left :)
The overall experience of just USING Linux Mint is more aligned with how users experience windows and mac; Not having to pull teeth just to browse the web. What their capabilities are is never going to be in 100% parity.
There will always be some things that can't be done or can't be done easily on one system versus another For example good luck gaming on a Mac, sure some games run fine but uhh .. If you're a hardcore gamer? You're gonna need Windows. Meanwhile Mac's have tools Wintendoes doesn't.
- Just install Linux Mint and enjoy a hassle-free linux experience
"It's solid gold!" -Most truthful person on earth Don't forget he owns a website called truth social so you KNOW he's very truth-oriented! Big strong men come up to him, tears in their eyes and say SIR you are just so truthful it makes me cry.
artists, qrp with your favorite portrait you've drawn! 💕
For a FOSS video converter (also browser-only) there is ffmpeg-web.netlify.app Do you ever think that making a front-end to other people's FOSS projects (e.g. ffmpeg wasm) and charging money for it is kind of .. slimy ? Like selling repackaged goods for a higher price?
Noodle!
His stupidity is so far-reaching, so profound that I don't even need to give you a name and every single person knows exactly who I'm talking about.
I just imagine some 400 lb MAGA person watching the "news" announce the black paint and clapping like a seal and going off for like 10 minutes about how this is genius because it's so simple yet so effective. We live in a very stupid timeline.
Those who do not know or understand history are doomed to repeat it.
Let's not pat ourselves on the back too hard. Everyone outside of Republicans knew what was happening could/would lead down this dark road. I'm not an anarchist yet I warned my maga parents of exactly this. It was obvious to anyone with 2 functional brain cells.
QRP some badass art! 😈
Can we confirm this? Has anyone done a wellness check on Pluto?
Ya'll sure are complaining a lot for a duo that are _still friends_.
A collage of past pieces. #art #artist #digitalart #digitalpainting #cocktails #flowers #artsky
Not every free online converter = your files sent to server. This is a FOSS image converter that does all conversion in browser, images are not sent to any server, does not require installation of binary application, and it's open source: dinoosauro.github.io/image-conver...
As a heads up this is a free open source converter that does not send files anywhere, all purely in-browser conversion, no installation required: dinoosauro.github.io/image-conver... It's for images only, though.
But what was she thinking of in the 2nd frame? 🤔
Modern society (for the purposes of selling us more trash we don't need, of course) promotes the ego to the status of god and tells it to kill all other aspects of ourselves. It's no wonder that people watched the matrix and suddenly "omg bro we're all living in the matrix it all makes sense now"
TIL what wall-mounted garage door openers are Why not go further and bury it underground and just have a stealthy little connection to the door LoL 🤣
His whole demeanor&tone was that of someone trying to impress a new friend too OMG CHARLIE I AGREE SO MUCH PLZ CAN WE HANG OUT MORE Fucking bitch
Charlie Kirk? Really. He really fucking did an interview with this douchenazi? I'm so frustrated. Like being completely honest I don't even expect him to be pro-trans, he's a politician--But he went full anti-trans here? WHY? Fuck him. What an asshole. For charlie kirk, too? Fucking Weak & Pathetic.
How many websites are dedicated to facts or science? Like pubmed, but run by a corporation or individual. Wikipedia is nice... How many websites are dedicated to falsehoods? I dare say the bullshit outnumbers truth at LEAST 10 to 1.
Trump: "I don't know anything about the FBI going after John Bolton" That's worse. That you don't know about it. You do see how that's worse, right?
If only we had this whole system of investigators and evidence gathering and like a judge could evaluate all the evidence and it could be a whole thing where the judge is like "go collect evidence" and then even though these people are billionaires the investigators go anyways? Wild concept, I know
Fuck Ticketmaster. Fuck Livenation. Fuck AXS. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
I've switched to linux mint for the last few months and so far every issue I've had I've been able to solve via the GUI, not using the terminal, at all. I'm not afraid of the terminal but I find it impressive that it's gotten to this state of usability via the desktop GUI alone.
When someone tells me they are a Christian I hear "I'm a cultist, and I may be very very dangerous depending on how I view you."
Who is "They" in this context? Also: Is it not factual that Israel has tight ties to the USA? I mean, I hate it, but that doesn't make it less true...
Beautiful chompers, makes me quite afraid to be within arms reach of them
Does it have to be cheating? Maybe he's a cuck 🤷♂️ 😄
Hey everyone when you see a person like this check out their profile on clearsky and click on "lists blocked by" because you'll find a bunch of new blocklists to subscribe to! I love bluesky!
I love Hank and it's an absolutely great app I don't believe Apple's lies, though. Threads>Facebook&Tiktok? Yeah, right. Google top 5th installed app? What does the "Google" app even do?
I love to see this! That place does everything it can to destroy one's mental health.
I wonder if the german media during the rise of the nazis were posing such faux questions.
I love smart devices but I hate cloud-connected devices. It's a tough situation because there's no such thing as a cloud-free washing machine with smart features, for example. Several others that would be nice, but are only offered as a cloud-connected device. I'm done with the cloud devices.
Mine looks like your 2022--But for 20 years.
Check out the sub r/GROKvsMAGA it's hilarious. It actually feels like this might be a solution to dealing with these people because Grok never gets upset at them it just diligently responds to their bullshit. Their 'shotgun of lies' doesn't work cause grok will address each point one at a time.
Yes they "fixed" it, it only lasted a day or two. It's also important to note that while it was going mechahitler it was also saying some extremeist shit on the other side; It was saying Russian invaders should be chopped up and used as lawn fertilizer.. Which is like, hell yeah fuckin' dope
#pixelart #aseprite Touch the orb? (2024)
"SEE? The bot is so woke it quotes liberal left wing lunatic sources!" Grok: "How bout you share your source with me, and we'll discuss it?" *crickets*
So now we're in the disinformation age: The free exchange of information was like steroids to misinformation peddlers. Now almost everyone believes easily disprovable bullshit and has less access to factual information than ever before. We're returning to a time when knowledge is only for the rich
I remember growing up in the 90s early 2000s thinking "This is a new age, the age of information--The end of ignorant conspiracies being actually believed as truth, the end of religious propaganda having so much influence, the end of lies having power, now liars are merely entertaining stooges."
Yeah, agreed. I'm always pleasantly surprised when an artist or venue doesn't use ticketmaster/livenation/axs.
Antitrust lawsuits have reached the supreme court and they commented along the lines of "it seems to be problematic but we have better things to deal with right now"

What does it mean?
Dang that makes my pizza-place-basement-adrenachrome seem mundane
Hands comm from vgen🤍 2 more slots still available for booking✨
There's not a lot of physical newspapers left in the world But on the day it happens? Those papers are gonna be SUPER valuable. "What are you looking for?" "An obituary." "The obituaries aren't on the front page?" "The one I'm looking for will be."
MYB I deleted my reply, I don't discuss with people who start with "That's stupid", I had a momentary ex-facebook moment. Have a good day.
AI like "oh god he wants text..." FIRE UP THE METHANE GENERATORS ohh crap it's a lot of text!! BUILD A NEW COAL POWER PLANT there we go, whew, thought we were going to have a problem. Here's your image, boss!
I'm not going to give anything the benefit of the doubt these days unless it attributes a human creator. That being said there's an artist's mark in the lower-right and I've been unable to find an associated artist.. Maybe you'd have better luck?
I'm so sick of people who are immune to facts and addicted to lying deciding how society should run.
