I’m surprised we haven’t sold it off for raw materials to the Chinese yet

And what’s the number of international students at those Chinese universities? I doubt it’s anywhere near what the US has even on ICE raid day. China hates immigration. But they also got the money. The victors of globalismo are the ones who play the dirtiest with human lives.

Yeah it’s rough. Ukraine could become another Hungary somewhere down the line so limiting it’s powers to affect the union is important, but also protecting it is paramount. Between Putin and Trump, Europe is dying, whatever happens it must happen soon.

I think I’d be fine, I have a massive offline media library on my Jellyfin, endless game backlog, meme folders spanning content since 2014, YT videos from my favourites playlist (like 2k of them), endless projects to take on, and I have an offline backup of Wikipedia (both as kiwi reader and official tar with the offset file iirc) so if I need to look anything up I can do that there. Last time my ISP’s BGP shat the bed I just had a really chill day reading, chatting with my gf and playing some games during the workday, then making some music and portscanning my ISP’s upstream gateway (only thing I could actually reach lol). I loved it, and frankly even during power outages I’m very good at keeping myself entertained even without all that. I also have some Roland boutique synths that are battery powered so I could always just make my own music if I was really desperate for some entertainment and things got apocalyptic.

I also have dozens of books, manga volumes and more I’ve been meaning to read, lots of physical cassettes and a late 90s cheapo walkman to listen to them on to and some charged batteries I’m always able to throw in the walkman there.

Not meant as a flex, but more as a comparison for what solutions I have and a demonstration of what someone without an internet addiction of any kind might do if the internet went down.

I am an actual drug addict though (I have ADHD and receive a medication on prescription via the govt health service), because of amerikkkan pharma kkkartel rules I can’t build up a stash, only 30 capsules per month, only one month at a time, so I’d need to switch to my backup DNM amph to tie me over, though amph w/ds are very chill, you just feel stupid and sleepy for like a week or so. Procuring nicotine and estrogen might be more problematic though.

By that definition sure they are, but that’s a really odd definition which would include basically all internet websites with some forum-esque component and images, including Lemmy and Reddit and twitter.

I would use the “List of imageboards” from this article instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imageboard

Hah I meant Instagram and Pinterest, obviously 4chan is an imageboard

None of those are imageboards

He just repeats what he heard elsewhere, he doesn’t really understand what the words mean, just fancy text prediction

I’d even say most western European and other big country capitals have pretty good data coverage underground. Wikipedia lists Hong Kong, Delhi and Copenhagen as examples but I’m certain I’ve experienced it elsewhere.

Even in London where there are many no signal spots on the underground the data connection is better than some city centres and urban areas above ground just standing around on foot, like around the Brighton centre and Guildford edges.

Limb biscuit or whatever idk I’m not a 90s kid

People can’t and won’t use it because it sucks. Middle mouse click is for two things:

1. open in a new tab
2. scroll/pan

See how they’re both navigation related? Because the mouse is a navigation tool, not a text tool.

A keyboard is a text tool, all pasting should reside on the keyboard. Eagle-eyed readers may notice that there are actually letters on all the buttons they keep mashing at random, those letters are a hint that the keyboard may be used for text-related operations.

Windows sucks now, but it won desktops for a very good reason initially and as Linux is making inroads into personal computing, there are no reasons it can’t learn lessons from why that was the case.

Old Linux GUIs suck and the user experience in general absolutely sucks on anything before Debian 8. Gnome classic was nuked because it sucked, and new Gnome was an improvement in every way, and it was only very recently that KDE got to a similar level of polish.

No one is saying the feature should be completely removed, just like KDE’s insane defaults of “Peek at desktop” in the bottom right instead of “minimize all windows”, it just needs to be hidden somewhere because 99% of users don’t expect a computer to work this way and with good reason.

Leave the legacy toggle in for people who cut their teeth on OSes made by companies that went bankrupt shortly after making them and expect all computers to work like that until the end of time.

Heck - just for them, create a separate clipboard that always holds the user’s nudes and dedicate left mouse click to a shortcut that emails them to their dad for all I care, because it’s how it worked on a random hack of AmigaOS they used in the 1800s, I don’t care, just leave us out of it.

X11 is a protocol that Xorg implements

This. Only correct comment in the entire thread. Rest are people who probably don’t even use computers and have no idea what a mouse is.

Happens all the time.

Oh cool I didn’t know that

I don’t believe ur mom adds much to the discussion xD

If you’ve never accidentally pressed the mouse wheel while using your mouse you must just not use computers very much, especially not for work

Post literally describes who and how it hurts. You need to read.

It’s so over for Europe holy shit, they would sooner give up Denmark altogether along with any other union member than suffer the “”“economic damage”“” of a US decoupling.

God forbid we have our own arms industry with all the jobs and economic growth that will create here in the EU.

Hey OP, can you try running a nested gamescope session to see if that fixes the issue? I usually always do this as a rule of thumb for all full screen applications due to the many QoL features like real Vsync.

Actually, can you even do that on Wayland yet, or is that Xorg-only?
