Apparently, in Germany, there is a church tax. If you belong to certain denominations, i.e., many evangelicals and catholics, you have to pay the tax. Great idea. If you're an atheist, you get a raise.

So why doesn't the FCC go after Fox News? www.usnews.com/news/world/a...

I have mentioned before that Miller gives off strong serial killer vibes and like...yeah. This doesn't undermine that idea.

There are many causes and forms of autism, some genetic, some environmental, and some a combination of both. There is little evidence that it's caused by Tylenol or vaccines. The problem is that HHS and the CDC are led by quacks who mistake their asses for holes in the ground.

I also suggest everyone cancel Disney and tell them why.

WHAT THE FUCK!!! trumpcard.gov The corruption is fucking insane. We are in a total kleptocracy/autocracy.

Since I'm anti-fascist, Trump now says I'm part of a terrorist organization.

PSA for everyone going to protests

Like and repost this if you're anti-fascist! Trump is now declaring you part of a terrorist organization.

The thing is that everyone should be antifa, i.e. anti-fascist. My grandfather was anti-fascist. He was a radio operator on planes that bombed Nazis. Every single US soldier in WW II was by definition antifa.

Why should I respect Charlie Kirk when he called for my friends and l to be stoned to death and he showed zero respect to me? I'm against violence, but I have a hard time mourning his death.

So now Trump is saying the pride flags represent domestic terrorism and should be banned. What flags were they showing during that insurrection and Unite the Right again while screaming "Jews will not replace us!"?

"He said gays should be killed. He said school shootings were a 'prudent deal' to keep guns. He said Black people, especially Black women, should always be suspected of incompetence. But he said them calmly while being well-dressed."

So it sounds like the shooter was associated with the Groyper white-nationalist movement. They apparently hated Charlie Kirk and considered him a sellout. So much for the shooter being left-wing.

When Paul Pelosi was attacked, Charlie Kirk mocked the incident and suggested that the attacker be bailed out. Forgive me if I don't feel sad about Charlie's death. Sorry Charlie. When you spread hate and marginalize people and support violence against them, expect to be hated.

x.com/OccupyDemocr... Kirk hurt a lot of people and made people's lives miserable. He was a bottom-feeder, spreading hate.

Uttery disgusting person. Wanting to blame an immigrant.

The right somehow thinks Democrats should own the Charlie Kirk murder. Maybe if they'll own 1/6, the Minnesota lawmaker murders and all other attacks by MAGAs. The vast majority of extremist violence comes from the right-wing.

Quotes by Charlie Kirk: "I think empathy is a made up New Age term that has done a lot of damage" "Don't let mass shooting victims control the narrative with empathy" "Gun violence deaths are the cost of keeping our 2nd amendment rights" "Your body, my choice" Fuck him. I like people with empathy.

Charlie Kirk said gun deaths are unfortunately worth it. I guess he was right in his case.

We now know how RFK's brain worm died. It starved to death.

Friend sent me this. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Remember, if you're going to throw a sandwich at an ICE agent, make sure it's a ham sandwich. It's like cannibalism for pigs.

No, you did not give those of us who happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor any due process. And that was profoundly wrong. It destroyed our lives.

It's not just Trump and Epstein. Trump was also involved with John Casablancas, a modeling agent and another pedophile, caught with 15 and 17-year-old girls. Ivanka also worked with Casablancas. The three pedos: media.cnn.com/api/v1/image...

After MONTHS of not having a working development computer, I finally got one. Sadly, it's a Dell. I FUCKING HATE Dell desktops. The NVME attachment is fucking broken. I also hate how slow gigabit Ethernet is. I had to transfer 477GB from my laptop, and it took hours.

So I go camping and come back to King Trump getting us involved in a new war. He created the nuke problem to begin with by pulling out of the deal and removing the inspectors.

I made the mistake of trying KiCad under Wayland. It crashed Wayland and was unusable. KiCad Advises Linux Users to Stick with X11 for Professional PCB Design share.google/yzGc9ugzRHSg...

My laptop supports 240-watt USB-C charging. As of this writing, there is only ONE 240-watt USB-C charger on the market by Delta Electronics, and it's unobtainium. That's probably why my laptop shipped with a 180W USB PD3.1 charger.

Why the fuck doesn't Github allow me to view the log or diffs of a particular file? This seems like a basic function, but it's impossible to do 'git log [file]' or show diffs with a specific file through the website.

I was mistaken, the Ethernet modules for the Framework laptop do support 2.5G. It was nice to find that while transferring some large files and seeing the bandwidth saturated.

I finally got a new laptop to upgrade my 9-year-old laptop from my late sister. I opted for a Framework laptop. I like how customizable it is, though some things will require a little getting used to. It would be nice if it included a touch screen.

My dog is a shedding monster. She doesn't like to be brushed, but I managed to brush her a bit and extracted enough fur to create at least three fursuits. I have a long way to go but she won't hold still and fights it.

I fucking HATE Wayland. I made the mistake of booting my laptop into Wayland instead of X11, and it was quite unstable, and then it was impossible to boot my laptop without it hanging and not allowing me to log in, even to a text console. I ended up restoring a snapshot before I booted into Wayland.

I think one big reason Republicans hate colleges so much is that when someone goes to college, they quickly learn that experts really do know more than they do and that gut feel is often wrong. They also quickly learn that things are often more complicated than they think.

Republicans think these people need tax cuts while cutting programs for the most vulnerable. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

I have a FriendlyElec NanoPC T6 LTS board, and I don't know how they can ship this. None of the current Armbian images have working USB support, so no keyboard or mouse. It also keeps alternating between booting it's eMMC into Android and the SD card (if I use the debug console to reset).

The Orange Pi Nano T6 is a total PoS. I said I wanted to download Ubuntu Noble. I don't want fucking Android. Why the fuck is it booting Android when I download fucking Noble?!?!

I wanted to figure out how LZ4 compression works since it's extremely fast and for a work project it might be useful. The sad part is all of the code I can find is way too complicated in order to optimize it to hell. I managed to write my own decoder that's still rather speedy and very simple.

Well, I tried Wayland and am now back to X11. I ran into numerous issues with Wayland, with the screen just freezing periodically and games having issues until it finally just hung and forced a reboot. AFAIK, Wayland is still unstable and not ready for prime time. This is with Plasma 5.

I have a new favorite number: 8647. Apparently, 86 is restaurant slang for "to get rid of" or "to kill," and of course, 47 refers to Trump. A photo of seashells spelling out 8647 caused a massive uproar with MAGA. Anything to make them lose their shit.

I finally tried Wayland compared to X11. All I can say is that Steam is noticeably less stable with Wayland.

What I am seeing about CECOT prison in El Salvador, where Trump is sending people, is extremely disturbing. This may as well be a death camp like the Nazis had during WW II. I encourage everyone to contact their congress critters about this, since people go in but don't come out.

I just did a walkthrough of the USS Hornet where Galactic Camp will be held on May 24-26th to scope out where different sections will be placed. Panels will be on a lower deck and I strongly recommend fursuiters NOT wear their heads there since the ceilings are quite low.

Finally someone made sense of the nonsense of Trump's tariff tax... www.latintimes.com/trump-accuse...
