Windows 11 is, well, shit. But, Windows is modular, and pretty much everything can be removed or modified with the right tools and knowhow.

Here's a 23 minute special showing how to un-enshittify Windows 11 from stock install to finish, using open source and/or completely free tools.

For fuck's sake guys, if someone says they may have to flee their country due to fascism you do not start critiquing their decision or telling them it's futile to do so.

It's especially nasty to do this if you don't know why they're fleeing or what their situation is.

It's even worse when the person doing the critiquing claims to be leftist, they're doing the work of fascists by trying to crush people's spirit.

People will say things like "it's selfish to not want to have kids!" and then immediately follow it up with "Who is going to take care of you when you get old?" as if they don’t know what the word selfish means.

Yeah, reminds me of another moment we had: Pete Buttigieg, then Secretary of Transportation, tried to bring up how racism is present in our very infrastructure. Know Nothings tried to dismiss this as nonsense because they deliberately avoid knowing who built this country, who continues to build it, and why our interstate highways plowed through Black neighborhoods instead of white ones. They made asses of themselves and got laughed at and learned nothing, same as ever.

@SnowyCA

It's just arrogance and bigotry. People who got a hand up and got ahead can either recognize that, be grateful, and pay it forward. Or they can be MAGA/Maple MAGA and imagine it's because of their genetic superiority, and rail against any policy that would help them because it might also benefit nonwhite people and young people.

Obama tried to tell the US that we live in a society, that other people build our bridges, and was roundly mocked by those people.

This is why the fascists will never win. Not only that this company made this announcement, but that the moment they made it so many stepped up and said "I'll contribute!"

Portland coffee shop offers free SNAP breakfast 'until everyone’s benefits are reinstated, or we go broke'

The Heretic Coffee owner said Portland has recently been depicted as “some kind of rioting, looting, burning-down city” and “this act is just one small glimpse of the real Portland.”

Your grandparents bought a house on a single income. You have a master's degree and three roommates. But at least you can summon any song ever recorded in 2 seconds, so it evens out?
When Trump is out, we can turn the Epstein Ballroom into a homeless shelter for undocumented immigrants needing free healthcare and abortion/contraception services, a museum acknowledging slavery and genocide of native americans, and a national LGBTQ Pride Center.

The Department of Homeland Security is using an image from Halo as a recruitment tactic on social media. The Trump Administration and GameStop have also posted images in support of Trump.
