I just installed Librewolf today, using it now. Being a fork of FF it makes a very smooth transition.

That fucking wormy-brained piece of shit.

“CDC is aware of a publication about a new bat coronavirus, but there is no reason to believe it currently poses a concern to public health.”

Beside, it’s almost Spring, these things go away as soon as it warms up.

Nope.

Yep after all that’s how musk did it by using trump as the symbolic figurehead

I have a flip phone with a touchscreen so I can type via the onscreen keyboard. When I bought it I wondered how well it would work since the screen is so small, but it works great! So much easier than using the keypad. BTW it also has maps with voice navigation.

Walmart doesn’t let you use contactless pay unless you use their app.

By “contactless pay” I assume you’re talking about paying by using a smartphone app? Obviously I don’t care about that because the whole point of my post is that I’m not using a smartphone, so obviously I have no apps of any kind.

But if by “contactless pay” you meant paying with your debit card by tapping it or holding it near the card reader, yes they do have that like everyone else.

yes

It’s called “Active Listening”

I use a dumbphone. I’m not buying a smartphone just so I can play these stupid games, and I’m not installing an app for every fucking business I interact with. I realize there will one day be a point where I won’t be able to do things I need to do without one, but until then I have no desire for one. Fortunately they haven’t made the parking meters here require a smartphone yet.

My grocery store still uses loyalty cards for most discounts (which is irritating enough), but also has “digital coupons” that require an app so I can’t get that. Theoretically I could go to their website and print them off but that’s not worth the effort. I have to pay close attention to the price signs they put up because some of them say “with digital coupon” in small print, meaning “not for you, bitch”. You know who doesn’t pull this kind of shit? Walmart. So I wind up getting a lot of my groceries there so as not to be discriminated against.

Wait, but we’re looking at it…

If they aren’t stopped, it’s only a matter of time before women won’t be able to own property, take loans or have credit in their names, and maybe even have bank accounts in their own name. Only men will be able to file for divorce. etc, etc.

FreeTube is great! I’ll wait for the normal release which is soon enough for me–when these things happen I just check it every so often, knowing they’ll figure out how to fix it like they always do.

Theater to make him look like a villain that people want to shoot at.

That, or so the DA could use him as a human shield.

Ukrainian friends, as an American I’m sorry this has happened, sorry both for my country and for yours. It may be a small consolation as our new regime withdraws aid, but remember that most Americans are still on your side as we have been throughout the war.

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 !

Maybe not, even probably not, but with Europe’s help it can at least keep fighting for now, with the possibility that something could happen in US or Russia to change the equation in that time. That’s all very uncertain, but what is certain is that if Europe agrees to this Putin/Trump terms of surrender, it’s over for Ukraine immediately. And then other countries will be next.

Fuck him. First, he’ll do what we wants regardless of whether you concede to his demands. If we wants to withdraw troops, he’ll withdraw them, no matter what concessions you make to him in hopes of preventing that. Look at his history. Look at how he has treated the other party in Every. Single. One. of the “deals” that he’s made. He fucks them over. NEVER believe he’ll hold up his side of whatever bargain you make. He won’t.

Don’t ever concede to this bully. The more you concede, the more demands he’ll make, like with a blackmailer. Call his bluff. Say, “Sorry, we don’t agree. If that means you’ll withdraw, then don’t let the screen door hit ya where the good lord split ya on the way out.” Bam! End of bullying and if he didn’t want to withdraw, he’ll find some excuse no to go through with it (or probably just lie and say you agreed to do something for him behind the scenes).

Or maybe make things worse.

I’m willing to take that chance.

That can be improved by inserting “and Musk” after the first word.

I’m sure they’re good enough right now, send 'em on over.
