Russia has treaties with Britain since like 1904 that obligated it to engage in WWI. Thats how the murder of a Serbian devolved into a world war

Outcome of leading to the downfall of the regime regardless, it was a little different than Afghanistan or Ukraine

Time is weird. A few years ago, I would have agreed. Now I feel that everything from March 2020 to now was just yesterday, and everything before covid is ancient history

Did you read the whole thread? It was more than just saying “I’m skeptical” with well reasoned and sourced data correlating ERAS region preference signaling

Thought maybe Lemmy would be a return to og Reddit style discussion rather than brigading downvotes as per the last few years…but nah

I use Merkur shaver with Cremo cream. Here’s my process:

turn faucet on until hot water running. Wet face. Apply cream. Shave. Rinse and dry

It literally isn’t different from shaving with a cartridge except a better shave, more pleasant, and cheaper. OK, it probably takes 10 seconds extra to change the blade vs popping cartridge, but that’s it

I shaved with an electric for a couple years, bad shaves and bad skin

Sabayon linux. Like Gentoo but without the compiling. shit was always broken. Though the guy who made it had a good sense of humor and was very enthusiastic

Sidux/aptosid: great distro, absolutely worst community

The mixed blessing of GPLv2

I’m gonna rip the process out of memory and piss into your dead inodes! You fucked with the wrong sysadmin!

don’t care about absolute performance, more interested in performance/watt

given Android, it might even be that most linuxes aren’t GNU/linux

When Android came out, it really hit this and the limits of the GPLvII home for me

for sure. I listen to a number of podcasts that instead of having dynamically inserted ads, still have the hosts do an ad read. I don’t mind that at all

Makes me nostalgic for when I got really excited for Ubuntu releases (circa 8.04-10.10 era)

What are you, a rival DCL school alumnus? I mean, not Weston obviously, cause that’s a thing. It’s a better name for a display server than Lincoln-Sudbury or Cambridge Ridge and Latin

Or are you just traumatized by the 128/Pike interchange traffic?

*looks west to Egypt. hmmm

Alternate browser engines

EU save us

Have you read the book by Nick Hornby?

lol, that brought back memories

Well there are/were systems like that, Crunchbang bring the one that pops into my mind most immediately, but there are others. I think they’re the minority though, even something like MX which you might say is just Debian with a nice xfce has the option of not using systemd, pop and mint don’t ship with snaps…so a bit more than just themeing…where to draw the line?

Firefox focus. It can be set as ad blocker not just as a history deleting browser. I use Firefox as my main browser on ios, but I don’t really see ads anywhere phone-wide

Wealthy enough to exercise? Wtf?

Ain’t even going there
