    No, if a Democrat president had done something remotely resembling one of these things: media, courts, Congress would be in a frenzy to stop it, before you could say executive order.

    I mean I can understand the “controlled ineffectual opposition” narrative, but I don’t buy the “Democrats’ inaction means they are just as evil as Republicans”.

    In addition to siccing the military on protestors…

    • Harris would totally apply tariffs to every country in the world.
    • Harris would totally pardon everyone who paid her enough and said good things about her.
    • Harris would fire huge chunks of the government recklessly without any regard to what they do.
    • Harris would push for a Big Beautiful Bill to withhold funding from judges that would try to hold her administration in contempt.
    • Harris would start a cryptocurrency token designed solely to enrich herself.
    • Harris would get into rapid back and forth arguments on Twitter (or BlueSky I suppose) with other influential people.
    • Harris would try to make every issue about herself, including Canada’s election.

    She would totally do all of these things in the first few months, because both sides are definitely the same.







  • JBL sounds like your audio gear, depends on what. Bluetooth, USB audio ot 3.5mm jack connections generally work fine without issue. (Installing PulseAudio Volume Control will help you with finer grained volume control). Some DACs that require custom Windows drivers might not work.

    Gaming stuff, Steam will have you covered, Lutris, Heroic, or itch.io for non-Steam stuff. The one unintuitive thing you have to do once you log in is to go to Steam Settings and check the “Use Steam Play for All Titles”. Just like that, 75% of your library that only have a Windows version will suddenly be playable and you’ll hardly notice a difference: just Download then click Play, that’s it (maybe a bit slower launch time).

    I would recommend Firefox or Librewolf over Chrome as you have done already, but you should know that Chrome and Chromium do work on Linux FYI.




  • I got a similar message from that user and a near identical one earlier from a lemmings.world account. The latter onr also had links to a peertube channel with a different angle thumbnail of what appears to be the same person.

    If you had an established profile and DM’d me I’d be more humoured to respond to out-of-the-blue introductions. But seeing that both accounts were created today, no public activity and immediately giving yourself a horny-bait nickname set off all the BS alarms.



  • Yeah, conservatives like to randomly plug phrases of propaganda like unfunny inside jokes. Depending on my relationship with them I do one of the following.

    1. Ignore if I’m not that close. Maybe roll my eyes a bit.
    2. Push back on it if we’re in the context of world events/news/politics.
    3. If we’re close enough, re-direct the culture war bullshit interjections with interjections of class war. If your friend sees it fit to just randomly call society lazy, you can also randomly call the upper capitalist class lazy government-teat sucking hoarders.

    When I want a cheap plastic thingy, or cheap hardware and electronics to play around with, I get it off aliexpress. It’s virtually the same stuff as amazon just for the patient. Most of that stuff is made in China already even if I get it from an online or local brick and mortar retailer, so it seems more direct to me, avoiding needless retransportation, warehousing and waste.

    When I want a quality thing I buy it from a local shop, especially when I need to see it or compare before buying. I can often find a Canadian online retailer too with just a bit of sleuthing.
