we did most of the work ourselves tbh

step 1. invent light speed communication and connect all of humanity to each other

step 2. do not under any circumstances regulate it or the people who control it

step 3. lose everything

Europeans seem like they constantly need reminding of this. You people are also fucked for a myriad of reasons

costing us the election and then rolling out the red, black and white carpet

i promise im not defending protest or non voters (i need to specify this before im picked apart by a swarm of piranhas) but does no one realize that this massive rift in our social fabric is no longer just a political issue? would defeating trump this year have ended the rise of fascism? the intensifying hatred of minorities, the puritanism, the scapegoating, the violence? kicking the can down the road to 2028 would have accomplished nothing but delaying the inevitable.

if trumps GOP is using the rhetoric they use purely for the purposes of gaining power, had they not gained power in this election they would have just intensified their rhetoric even more and gained power in 2028 instead. these people are literally willing to destroy American society to enrich themselves and their friends.

i voted, you voted, pretty sure everyone on lemmy (worth acknowledging anyway) voted. it was with an empty feeling in my gut though because ballots just determine presidents, they are not a panacea

your ethnic origins, cultural upbringing and place of birth make you a Latino. There are white Latinos, Afro Latinos, Asian Latinos, if you have light skin and you genuinely feel white then you are a white Latino. But a Latino you are and always will be

Side loading works great for this and it’s free

whos gonna prosecute any of this shit now

Anti cheat works fine nowadays, I’ve heard that the only problems are caused by devs/publishers that explicitly don’t allow their games to launch on Linux. e.g. Elden Ring and Apex Legends both use easy anticheat; the former boots just fine on Linux while the latter doesn’t work no matter what you do

we’re about to see something really shocking and ugly aren’t we. more so than usual I mean
