it's a show that hits all the usual conservative copaganda talking points. cops are good. bad guys are bad. innocent people will be fine as long as they comply. then consider how often a "good" character is white and a "bad" character is black, and a disconcerting pattern starts to arise. the show is outright cop apologia

blue bloods is the most offensive one
i mean idk, i was just asking about what that other poster was saying. i fuckin' hate ubuntu for other reasons and i generally don't speak on it in the negative or positive in threads like this. i only chimed in because what was being said struck me as odd. "it's the most user friendly distro there is, it just breaks a lot"
it made me wonder what user friendly meant to this other user. i wanted to hear their perspective because i thought i could learn something, especially as i help my mom, an inexperienced linux user, use linux on an old laptop for the first time
is it user friendly if it's so prone to breakage?
mint is probably where you want to be. if you have performance issues with mint, consider MX Linux, AntiX, and EndeavourOS, in that order.
right. it was the corporate centralization and profit motives. that was the main focus of my ire. but how the corpos captured the net was by investing in lowering the bar of interactive participation. it's great that more people got to participate, it's not great that it came at the cost of participation benefitting corporations, not participants
web 2.0 was the generation of web technologies defined by a lower barrier to entry for web posting thanks to centralized platforms provided by for profit corporations. think facebook, reddit, twitter, youtube
it's still frustrating how much is being lost though from our collective knowledge, especially with the dismantling of the internet archive. web 2.0 was definitively a mistake, and it's one that almost everyone fell for
i think it's clear from this these regulatory bodies primarily function to help the industry make money. indies can sometimes get co-signs from these bodies, but only if they stay in their lane. balatro has been a huge smash hit, and it feels like this body just wants to keep it down that little bit
i think you underestimate how influential curtis yarvin is amongst the silicon valley crowd
you just confirmed what the other poster was saying. you have co-opted the word woke, and expanded the set of things it applies to. it is a label you use rather than the descriptive signifier it represented in the circles you weren't really aware of before the word entered your lexicon. you don't understand its word origins because you think you and your crowd own it. the people you're saying don't know what it means are who you appropriated it from
there's a world where better writers make something better with it. as it stands it's either overtly racist, or as tone deaf as saying "i don't see color"
