If Harris wins, Trump loses. That much is certain. Can’t say much about what will happen next, because there’s no real way of knowing.

Also, is nobody going to mention how typically, the incumbent stays as the next candidate, while the contender from the last election is replaced, because they were clearly not good enough for a win?

While this time, It’s the opposite: the last winner stepped down, the last loser is a candidate once more. Isn’t that weird???

A light grey flat cap

I’ve had issues with it for file sharing, so far that I’m sticking to LocalSend, but I really need to explore KDEConnect further, as I haven’t explored the rest of its features.

A lot of examples people here are giving, are types of doublespeak: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP07oyFTRXc

I recently (as in, 2 days ago) set up a self hosted blog on Gitlab Pages using Hugo. As it’s a static site, hosting is free, though the domain is paid. I was actually just about to start writing a new blog post after catching up with Lemmy. The thing about your own blog is that there are no requirements, constraints or limitations. My first article, about the naming of this blog, and how much I suck at naming things, was a pleasure to write because at times my mind went to whether that was the best way to write or portray something, but then I stopped myself. This is my blog, my rules, and as such, I have complete freedom over it. And it made writing a joy, because I could just be honest and unfiltered. It also quickly made me realise how much I’d hate writing for a big website, where they are likely to have restrictions on some things, or requirements, or promotion and monetisation, that could suck the joy out of doing this, making it something I’d absolutely hate.

But, to each their own. I guess it really depends on what topics you’d like to cover and how you’d like to cover them.

Great, but the fictitious financial system is based on the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. If you want to see the US collapsing, then I guess it’s true that

Some men just want to watch the world burn

As a non-American, everybody jaywalked back in London. You just go with the crowd when there aren’t that many cars, so you don’t get hit by a car.

Can confirm. Been using them for a few years and I have no complaints, only praise for it. I’ve specifically used the Nivea ones.

Difficult to say. For starters, we can’t know with certainty the full list of countries that were affected. We don’t know all the ways countries were affected. There’s so much we don’t know that it’s really impossible to say.

I’d say, neither. You can live in blissful ignorance, or in pure fear of punishment.

You can live in satisfying freedom, or existential dread.

Same here. Except I know I like Marvel movies because of Tony Stark and Dr Strange.

From what I heard, the media crushed him but he was actually a better leader than Starmer. And there’s the little fact of Starmer not having a spine and the whole protest squashing thing, which was in my opinion, not the right way to go about this.

There is actually decent shit on Aliexpress if you know where to look. The same can’t be said for Temu. I got a trackball mouse from Ali for 20 quid, and it’s running great! There’s also a lot of cheap Chinese watch brands that sell on Aliexpress and some of them like Pagani Design and especially San Martin, provide incredible quality for the price.

Similar story. The only way we could finally end it is if we paid 1 month at the high price (it was a promotional contract, 20-something quid for 100 mbps or so they claimed; it became 40+ after that).

How about VimBeGood? https://github.com/ThePrimeagen/vim-be-good

Also, toilet paper?

I highly recommend trying out a tiling window manager. Yes, they exist for Windows. No, they’re not as good as on Linux or BSD, but it’s a completely different workflow and you won’t know if it’s for you until you try it. Komorebi seems to be a popular choice. I tried workspacer but it was a PITA to configure (I say that as someone experienced in configuring and using a tiler). The Komorebi discord seems to have a channel for sharing configs so you can check it out as a source of inspiration or as a base to build your own config onto.

Also, a package manager like scoop or chocolatey. If I had to return to Windows, this would be a nonnegotiable.

Also, Chris Titus’ winutil for debloating, removing spyware, installing good common software and running a range of tweaks (including disabling or delaying feature updates for better stability).

Vivaldi. Yes, it’s technically proprietary (if you care about that stuff) but it’s really good, if you’re a power user in the browser, or if you’re a tab hoarder. I can’t see myself living without workspaces in the browser now. And the panel is nice if you’re into it.

That’s about it.

Any Skullcandy Headphones… they just break

I’ve had 3 pairs of them so far. First one held up really well (I think it was their cheapest model), until the connection got a bit shitty. Second pair, the Casette, lasted for about 2-3 years, until it broke around the side. (y’know, the weakpoint of any pair of headphones?). I’m on a Hesh Evo rn and have no complaints currently. That is subject to change, however, as I’ve only had them for less than a year.

What headphones would you recommend? From what I’ve seen, they all have a weakpoint, making them susceptible to breakage pretty easily.

Some of that info was declassified/made public.
