Ooh, thank you!

Can I get an unpaywalled link/article?

It got my timezone and location pretty spot on, though.

In my case it was incredibly accurate, except for one detail; the wire said I moved my finger over 600 times which… Seems hyperbolic.

Let’s change that.

Microsoft Windows was never a good operating system. Oh sure, it had its moments, but I don’t remember ever being not frustrated by certain elements in Windows.

Leaving Windows shouldn’t be a funeral, but a sick ass celebration like after blowing up the Death Star.

Pretty sure they started that well before 2025.

I want to set up a Jellyfin local media server. As soon as I get my own apartment I’m going to take a serious crack at hosting my own home server for a lot of my needs.

I got it reversed, it’s spot x bash. But it’s bash script that modifies the spotify client to remove all ads. Doesn’t give you premium features, only removes ads. The script must also be run every time spotify updates.

Check it out.

Well let’s see…

• I’ve used Firefox with uBlock Origins pretty much as soon as uBlock Origins came out. I’m now using Librewolf.
• Im using a YouTube extention that automatically skips sponsers and adreads.
• I don’t use Google for my searches. Haven’t for over 10 years.
• I use Spotify on my PC, with the Bash Spot X patch.
• My OS is also Linux, so no built-in ads.
• On my phone I have AdAway installed.
• I patched my YouTube app with ReVanced Manager, giving me block against ads, sponsers, and adreads.
• I don’t use Spotify on my phone, instead opting to download music I bought from artists (typically Bandcam) or get through Soulseek.
• I use Firefox on my phone too, with uBlock Origins. Did that for nearly as long as my PC.
• I also don’t use Google for my searches there.

I’m very curious about what my value to Google is, considering all that.

I’ve heard it a few times before the whole ICE thing in the US. Especially on threads of electric car owners talking about combustion cars.

Which translates to:

• Lower taxes.
• Less welfare.
• Defunding public services in favour of private services.
• Less regulation/“smaller government”.
• More laws protecting acquisition and ownership.

In other words, all the basic right-wing talking points minus nationalism,religion, and “country first”.

Well… The “wing” of a parliament very roughly represents a political compass. Liberals aren’t left-wing anymore by virtue of having more politically left parties that occupy those physical seats today.

It does create a very funny situation like here in Denmark where “Venstre” (literally The Danish word for “Left”) is a right-wing political party. More right-wing than “Liberale Alliance” (Danish Liberal Party).

But Venstre used to be the left-wing party when it formed. Since then, green parties, socialist parties, communist parties, and various parties adjacent to those ideologies, have formed to occupy the left side of the parliament seats, pushing Venstre’s physical seating position all the way to the right side.

With liberals and moderates being more politically left than them, Venstre now sits right next to the most conservative parties of Denmark. They’re still keeping the name, though.

I don’t think you know what you’re talking about. Moreover, you seem to be lumping a bunch of things together.

Are you American? I could blame that on the lack of a proper representative democracy. Everything gets shovelled together into either one camp or the other, even when they don’t have anything related to each other.

More like the European reality.

Compared to Europe, America doesn’t have a left wing. Just a right wing and an extreme right wing.

From my perspective “liberal” is still right-wing.

… sssssssiiiiiiiiigggggggghhhhhhhhhh

I went with a Fedora distro because the Intel GPU drivers were less of a headache. Guess I must now find another distro…

Ok, let’s see… How do I fare:

1. Check. Already doing that. Denmark has pretty good free speech.
2. Uhh…
3. Uuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh
4. Check. Don’t have a pornhub account.

Barbarians can’t even measure right. :V

You give a millimeter and the powers that be will take a whole kilometer.

No compliance.

Even something as “small” as this needs to be met with prejudice.
