Hmm this is a good idea. Getting every day users to use Linux didn’t work out, but focusing on desktop gamers seems to be catching on.

Why are they getting so much support? Is it just a protest vote against the liberal status quo that people feel fed up with (like with Brexit, Trump, etc.)?

Woah, wasn’t expecting that one

Yeah the oligarchs around him would have to want him gone for him to go.

I swear I see those old 1280x1024 monitors everywhere. I have one just like that at home. Also came from my dad’s old job

I love that gold reflection

That’s true actually, I didn’t think of that

Purely my opinion, but: no, because your notebook is finite. You will eventually run out of problems and also be bored.

I agree with this. Although I admit it is imposing one group’s opinion on the whole of society (in the village at least)

I think there’s something very human about a ton of people being bored, but mentally present, together. I was just thinking about how current technological advancements are creating a very easy path for us to spend less time experiencing our shared reality and increasingly recede into our own, personalized ones (think VR/AR + AI generated things). And not just media bubbles but actual experiences. Look at how detached Casey seems, and now imagine that the entire city is wearing these. VR/AR might be a fringe topic right now but if it becomes the path of least resistance for something, like living via Zoom became during COVID, it will eventually become mainstream.

It’s trivial now but I think it will come to bite us in a few decades’ time

I’m Czech and I never understood why our country has such particularly close ties with Israel. What’s even stranger is that I’e noticed this with both the populists and the liberals in power. I haven’t seen much coverage of the alleged war crimes in the media here (I have not done my resarch)

The British government’s website is genuinely the best government website I have visited

This title is missing a comma

I like Khan because he is one of the few remaining politicians in power in the UK who are unashamedly pro-European

Damn, this is starting to sound a lot like the Tories

Who even votes for the FDP? Is it the FinTech bros? Or is it small business owners?

Yeah, that’s the price they pay for not acting while the disease hadn’t spread yet

They still ought to use the official mechanism rather than this which is just blackmail

I still think it would be cleaner if they used the official mechanism for this, ie. stripping then of voting rights, rather than resorting to extra-legal tactics like these which is essentially just blackmail.

Intra-EU trade war? That wasn’t on my Bingo card for this year

I jave a feeling they used to have a (semi-)presidential system?
