Finally, a church that’s in the news for doing something GOOD.

Right you are, updated accordingly. Thanks for the tip.

Oh yeah, my bad for not including what it’s about. I’ll edit that back into the post.

What’s a Nazi’s favorite color smoke?

White smoke.

(For all y’all non Catholics, the vatican has white smoke to signal when they elect a new pope…and ya know…JD Vance is a nazi.)

I’ve flirted with Linux off and on for 20 years, but MS forcing everyone to Win 11, stuffed with spyware, is the end of the road for me. Now on Linux full time. Linux isn’t about to take over the desktop, but I can see Windows shedding a couple million users a year as enshittification continues.

You can totally turn it off in a couple clicks or leave it on if you want it. Other tech companies take note, this is how you do it.

Every Texan I know has a generator to deal with the unreliability of the grid, and there’s never been an article about someone in Iowa getting a surprise $100k electric bill…and the average wage in Texas is substantially lower than in “left wing” states like California or Washington…so not sure you’re making an apples-to-apples comparison, but time will be the judge, we can all check-in in a year and see how this plays out. Does Lemmy have a remind me! bot?

• With software it was moving everything to subscriptions that made me switch to Linux and LibreOffice
• With hardware it was when Apple started soldering RAM in their computers so you couldn’t replace it
• With healthcare it was having to negotiate with 11 different companies my 11 bills for a single ER visit
• With the Democrats it was the head of the DNC saying out loud that the reason for super delegates was to prevent popular grassroots candidates from winning

Capitalism doesn’t just crush you once, it finds a new way to crush you every day.

Trump’s greatest accomplishment, surpassing the DuoLingo owl in being the most annoying thing to make me want to learn Spanish. Pendejo.
