Facebook: makes a system where the only way to get engagement is to hatepost.

People on facebook: hateposts

People: “How could this happen?”

I bet most of them are affiliated with a Christian church of some variety, at least 60%

What is a sissy hypno mode?

Also, with Linux, do you really need the whole potato?

Give me the internet and about 2 hours

Yeah, and?

Do you honestly believe there’s a single person on lemmy with enough gravitas to be worth being tracked by the elite?

Also money, which are just political points in tangible/fungible format

Long story short, people that use it get really used to using it.

You know?

You made me think about this for a minute and I think I figured it out.

Use the circle pin to draw the circle.

Then use the select tool to select the circle that you drew.

Then use the grow/shrink tool to shrink the selection by however many pixels thick you want the circle to be.

Then use the erase tool to erase all the parts of the circle that you don’t want.

Easy peasy.

Thank you. I was afraid I was being a little too subtle.

Kubuntu isn’t too bad

You can also use the brush tool and just draw a circle that’s completely filled in at whatever size you want and then remove the inner portion that you don’t want by switching to the erase tool and then shrinking the size of the circle brush to what you don’t need and clicking directly in the center of the circle.

I wouldn’t necessarily trust that. I have used Xfinity for a long time and my IP address often went months without changing.

If I want to scream into the void, I can do that anywhere and anytime, and I do not need a web server to do it.

To quote Ariel, I want to be where the people are.

Just so that I get this out while it’s fresh on my mind, what’s wrong with the internet right now is cyberfeudalism.

The internet is essentially an infinite world, so no matter how much the large companies gobble up, we’ll always be able to go somewhere else.

That being said, it gets really fucking exhausting to move over and over again to different apps and different locations just so to talk to people without some greedy, megalithic corporation there, snooping on everything you say and ingesting your words to feed some abomination intelligence simulation or to figure out the best way to sell you a new pair of fucking socks.

All of that being said, I’m just saying it fucking sucks to continuously be a refugee, and what sucks about apps and companies and programs that end up selling out for a dollar is that if you don’t emmigrate to a new platform, you become nothing.

The word trans means across, or on the other side, and gress once again would mean step, so to transgress is basically to cross the line, right?

I did a quick search, but there isn’t really a word to describe the people that don’t cross the line.

The opposite of the prefix trans is the prefix cis, which means “on the same side”

There is an etymology word joke that says something along the lines of, “if “pro” is the opposite of “con”, then is the opposite of “congress” “progress”?”

And if you don’t know etymology, then that seems to make sense.

When you break down the word Congress, you get the prefix con and the root word gress, con means with, and gress means step, so it means to step with or to walk with.

The opposite of walking with someone is to walk apart from someone, so, the actual opposite of congress would be digress, and the opposite of progress would be regress.

Etymology is great at ruining jokes, but it’s also great at helping you understand what words mean and why they mean them.

I think the specific is that 40% of adult Americans can’t read at a seventh grade level.

Probably because they stopped teaching etymology in schools, So now many Americans do not know how to break a word down into its subjugate parts.

One of my co-workers switched to UBlock Lite instead of UBlock Origin and now the ads are back.

Now he’s working on switching to a non-Google browser.

Good job, Google. You have killed Google for yet another former customer.

What’s optimistic about telling a multi-million dollar company that if they don’t operate with principles that I agree with that they won’t get my business?
