That’s fair!

No FLOSS loving Linux user is dead to me, not even the GNOME project team, and frankly I suspect it’s noobies and non-users pushing these memes lately.

DOJ: Police Shooting Family Dogs has Become ‘Epidemic’

Cops in this country kill so many dogs each year that a specialist at the Department of Justice’s (“DOJ”) community-oriented program services office says it has become an “epidemic.” The DOJ estimates that around 25 to 30 dogs are killed by cops every day, with some numbers as high as 10,000 per year. The totals could, in fact, be higher, since most police agencies do not formally track officer-involved shootings involving animals.

Holy shit dude, well fucking played.

Ah fair point!

And, frankly, this magazine is on notice. If it starts being 100% US politics it’s getting blocked as well. I have zero regrets about this new policy I’m implementing.

You say this like someone is going to change their behavior based on it. No one at all has regrets about you choosing to exercise the block early block often ethos of the fediverse. I salute your decision to control your own feed.

I’m sorry our politics is everywhere (sincerely) - I’m not going to stop talking about it though.

If his past performance + Project 2025 + Musk haven’t combined to convince you that the first win was a surprise to everyone and his handlers are far more ready this time around, you are as deluded as those who voted for him.

• Democrats spent four years trying not to piss off R too much by doing anything about Jan 06 (among other things), then 2 months trying to woo R votes

• R spent four years getting ready for this, and are ready to tear shit down. Shit will go downhill rapidly after Jan 20.

He’s worthy of our attention. Stupid and assholish or not, he’s literally the most powerful man on the planet (aside from Elon Musk) right now.

Infighting among all those trying to deploy him as their personal attack dog is about the most hopeful thing we have right now.–

The same folks I know who wouldn’t even consider a conversation about socialism are not going to be swayed when I quote any black man to them, much less a panther.

ROFL.

I seriously wonder if a 30 days earlier event would have changed the outcome of the election.

GNOME is more keyboard-focused than KDE.

This is not really a true statement then, and it’s what was being replied to.

Some folks call Luigi “The Adjuster” - which as mentioned is a common insurance job which impacts how much someone receives for their claim.

It’s really bugging me that I haven’t seen “The Adjuster” used anywhere but Lemmy so far. I think it’s perfect, just like this album cover.

So we’ve got a President, a billionaire, and now a closely allied nation that are all out of control loose cannons, who are all willing to ignore any law, moral code, or ethical detail, and to destroy any person or entity who stands in their way, and the entire world seems powerless to do anything meaningful about any of them.

Cool cool cool…

Next someone will show up to breathlessly remind me that the emancipation proclamation was signed by a Republican president.

Yes yes, we all know that. But the rest of us aren’t ignoring all the rest of history, in particular (but not exclusively) the Southern Strategy.

So I appreciate your attempt to deploy this tired old bit of trivia that R thinks is some kind of gotcha, but it was weak sauce in the earliest days of the internet, and it still is.

These guys ain’t voting Democrat:
