Steam Deck is modified Arch with KDE desktop so probably not beginner friendly.

Are you seriously comparing devastating and life threatening diseases and bodily waste to food that thousands of people eat every day without complaint?

Probably because normally there’s a huge financial and social disparity between shoe shiners and the people getting their shoes done. Classism is a learned behaviour so it’s disconcerting and unpleasant seeing such young children who wouldn’t yet understand classism behaving in discriminatory or prejudiced/internalised oppression behaviours.

Additionally the shoes shining child has dark hair and is wearing what appears to be a fez/tarboush whereas the child getting their shoes shined is blonde - which brings to mind social disparaties between white people and POC/colonialism and could be seen as enforcing racist stereotypes, again in young children who wouldn’t normally have any sense of this sort discrimination.

Tl;DR: It provokes a juxtaposition of innocent children against adult behaviours that involve classism, racism and colonialism.

It’s like the Uncanny Valley of classis, racism and colonialism - it illicits feelings of discomfort but you can’t entirely put your finger on why.

As an ex webdesigner/dev, Squarespace, Weebly and the like killed my income well before ChatGPT did.

Thanks for the explainer! Also, Google’s response is such a crock of shit.

I think you mean demons

But plot twist, the expensive drugs are actually just rebranded cheap drugs with some marginally better quality and the dealers are nicely dressed.

It’s a (bad) joke 🙂

But but but Wine Is Not an Emulator

Eh, as a homeschooler parent and a household of Linux users, more like Linux are being homeschooled and Apple is a fancy private school for rich folk (and scholarships for the not so well off of course)

Thank you! I never knew this existed. Awesome!

Can someone explain this for folks whose existence is outside the US

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

We have a Loki cat too. Can confirm that cats named Loki are indeed mischievous tricksters.

This is satire, right?

As someone who has chronic health issues nd increasingly severe Memory Impairment (possibly early onset Alzheimers), I would give almost anything for the perfect health. Hell, I would be over the moon just for average health.

I can’t even begin to explain how much it hurts to be surrounded by people who could choose to be healthy but are just apathetic, uncaring, lazy or ignorant of how much of a blessing it is to be able to exercise, get fit, run, swim or even jut walk round without feeling utterly exhausted after or to remember the things they love and enjoy.

Reminds me of someone I knew who had a cat that would repeatedly and randomly just turn up in their house and be all like, I live here, you’re my humans. They would post photos of the cat with nothing but the hashtag #notourcat but I ALWAYS read it as No Tour Cat. Was it like a musician cat that could never get any tours? Confused the hell out of me until I got the backstory NOT OUR CAT. 😅😹
