It’s hard to imagine that Notepad of all things has now been enshittified. On Windows, I only ever use Notepad++, but regular ol’ Notepad has been a staple of Windows almost since the beginning. It truly feels like they’ve finished peeling away what little good remained of what Windows used to be.

Maybe they should add a clause to the Geneva Convention regarding the use of sandwich-based weaponry

“What agency are you with?” asks Fonseca Tapia, filming through his car window.

“I’m not going to tell you,” responds the man, who is wearing a high-visibility construction vest, an orange helmet, and glasses, with a camouflage mask covering most of his face. “It’s none of your business.”

All the more reason people to not comply and protect themselves by any means necessary. Maybe they’re officers who will arrest and detain you, maybe they’re random neo-nazis who will drag you into an alley and murder you for whatever reason. Without any requirement or enforcement of official identification, these ‘agents’ could be literally anyone. And ICE is actively hiring neo-nazis, so even knowing what agency they’re with would tell you a whole lot about their intentions regardless.

It’s not about sustainability, it never was. It was only ever about endlessly repeating the cycle of improving profit margins in the short term by any and all means. And what could sound better to venture capitalists than “improved productivity” regardless of whether or not it was true?

If that doesn’t work, I hear ritual sacrifice is pretty effective.

I got a Framework 16 a few months ago and I’ve been loving it. Super happy these guys managed to make this concept of a repairable laptop work. Though, one thing I wish is for them to make a storage case for the expansion cards. I’ve built up a little collection of them and obviously filled up all 6 slots pretty quickly. I’d like a better place to put the unused cards than in a random drawer.

The fact that anyone would donate money to this is almost poetic proof of your point.

I spend every day wondering if it’ll be my last. The paranoia is always there in the back of my mind, knowing the new Gestapo will eventually come for me, I just don’t know when. In the mean time, I’m preparing myself for that possibility both mentally and physically. My mental health hasn’t been this bad in a long time, but there’s not much I can really do other than try to keep my head above water and hope I make it through this.

Paying another nation to incarcerate someone indefinitely without due process is beyond fucked up. It’s almost impossible to believe that’s our current reality. That’s the sort of thing that I feel the founders of our country would throw a revolution over.

And don’t forget that the bible says it’s ok to murder your sons if they don’t listen to you and sell your daughters to their rapists.

If fear of divine retribution is your only reason for being a good person, then you are not a good person.

Don’t worry, friend. She’ll slide into your DMs eventually.

So cute! One of my cats does this too. I call it her business casual pose because it always makes her look like she wants to give me a quarterly purrformance review.

Fuck ICE. I’ve started referring to them as the American Schutzstaffel. That has more appropriate acronym for them too.

We can’t change the past, so the only choice we have is to work together to start fixing this situation. I understand why they did it, but they refused to think about how their actions would affect the larger outcome. We shouldn’t let abstention voters forget the role they played in getting us into this mess while we encourage them to make better (or at least less bad choices) in the future.

I’ve been saying since the election that anyone who voted for Trump or abstained in protest is complicit in Trump’s regime of terror. Trump and his staff spent months on the campaign trail telling the public exactly what they would do when they took power, showing everyone exactly who they are, and now they’re doing all of it. No one has the luxury of claiming ignorance.

He’s clearly trying to make himself seem more appealing to the orange man in DC.

I picked a hell of a time to give up THC.

My head canon is that it was simple reverse psychology. Biden really wanted to keep Cuba on the list, but also wanted to score some easy political points on the way out, so he made a show of how he was de-listing them, knowing Trump would undo it a week later because Trump is an immature crybaby bitch.

Never forget, billionaires should not exist in any capacity
