All of that sounds amazing together! Pickles are magical.

There’s a vegan place in town here that makes a buffalo seitan sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and vegan mayo. Nothing wild, but it has never once let me down and would be easy enough to recreate at home.

The Panthers used to march armed as defense. They were tactical and knew their rights. We have to show as much restraint as possible in order to not let the narrative run away from us. This is going to be a long battle (we are what, 4 months into a 4-year window?) and we still have a ton of ground to cover. Bullets should be the absolute last ditch effort, but it must be made clear that as soon as cops decide that rubber bullets need to go away and the live ammo comes out, it’s chaos.

• Chasing ICE out with rocks and pockets of people are effective and make it harder for the police to kettle people
• Working together essentially as a modern day Underground Railroad to protect and hide folks ICE is looking for is also a tactic
• There are a ton of US military in CA that you know are wondering what the hell they’re doing there. They might simply be there as a show of force, but assume the worst. We could adopt a flyer campaign that attempts to get a message into the hands of soldiers. Maybe make some of them come to their senses about the fact that their dipshit president has called them up illegally and is willing to make them all traitorous accessories that shred the constitution. This one is inspired by airborne leaflet propaganda tactics the US govt has used abroad. If we can weaken their resolve and sway a handful of numbers, that’s less boots that are a threat
• Make roadways inaccessible for ICE vehicles. Drop massive rocks on the roads, barricades, dumpsters, whatever you can find. It might end up that they work on foot instead, but that means you’ve just made them more exposed (and given yourself a window to disable their transportation)
• Cover cop and ICE cars in paint. Make it so they’re a pain in the ass to see out of and operate. Do the same with cops. Reduced visibility means they have to retreat.

We have to be tactical and smart. We could be reckless and resort straight to the worst option available, but we know our enemy and how they function. Anger is a weapon when channeled properly. The police and the military are waiting for us to fire the first shot and then all bets are off. They will control the media and pull out all of the stops earlier than anticipated.

Violence isn’t off the table by any stretch, but there are better ways to utilize it. Everyone can play a part and there are tons of guides out there.

Zen makes something like 84 external connections, which is around double what even Edge makes (and Microsoft has basically become a malware company).

It’s dead and they’re replacing it with an AI-first browser. Gross.

If you want the main things Arc gives you (vertical tabs, tab groups), you can get them with Firefox or a Firefox spinoff like Librewolf.

It’s a tactic these dipshits use to downplay your legitimate concerns. Nobody gives a fuck about ping pong tables, snacks, paid lunches.

Pay well or fuck off, the end.

Yes! I’ll keep an eye out for the registration.

I’m gonna die telling fascists to eat a bag of dicks as they try to arrest me for talking shit about Israel on my own Lemmy instance. That’s the country these fascists are shaping for us. An AI-driven hellscape.

Real life Computron!

Why tf do people still buy these games? I have GamePass and still avoid them like the plague. The series hasn’t been good since like the first Black Ops.

Yeah, that makes more sense. More users automatically means there will statistically be more complaints due to sheer numbers.

I have one too and love that thing! Even as a programmer, I find the only time I use a computer is during work time. Otherwise I’m mostly on my Steam Deck.

Being the single OS that has had a chokehold on the prebuilt computer industry for ages doesn’t mean it’s popular. It’s also used in tons of workplaces where people don’t have a choice. High number doesn’t automatically correlate to “popular.”

Windows is basically malware now. My wife is forced to use W11 for work and she fucking hates it with a passion (and that’s the pared down IT version).

I pulled out my old gaming laptop that had been unplugged for quite a while and found it somehow updated itself to W11. I immediately wiped the computer and installed Nobara as the main OS. No regrets, no issues, and no half-assed bullshit.

Windows on the ASUS ROG Ally is absolute dog shit. It would constantly reboot to install unwanted updates that offered zero value on a handheld (let alone anything).

Nothing I own will ever run Windows.

Windows isn’t popular. It’s forced onto tons of prebuilt computers and most people wouldn’t know what to use instead. Fuck Windows. Rant over.

Tons of corporate software out there will record user sessions in order to debug issues and replay a user’s interactions so an engineer can review it. Take a look at tools like Hotjar, Logrocket, and Fullstory.

Not making excuses for them and it’s probably less insidious than this makes it out to be, but people should be aware that this is not uncommon at all.

Can’t eventually have senior engineers without giving junior engineers a chance, so good luck with that. I’ve got nearly 2 decades under my belt and I’m ready to leave.

The potential customers here are whatever companies they inevitably sell the data and product to down the road.

Tons of disarming techniques have been available in martial arts to the world for centuries.

This is a wild story about

• how running with scissors is a bad idea
• alligator bites can’t even stop a dude on meth
• cops continue to have no clue what de-escalation tactics are

Once you finally realize that America is one big collective scam and we’re simply seeing the paint scratch off and the old advertising fail on the new generations, it all makes sense. The working class exists here as a constant resource for the wealthy. We’re slaves that are finally discovering the end of the leash. They know the jig is up so now they’re fast-tracking all of the upward wealth shifts, while essentially trying to kill off or shut out our most vulnerable communities. They want the Israel model but without the universal healthcare (which we all pay for but can’t even get ourselves).

The US is the pot the ruling class reaches its grubby hands into whenever it needs money for wars and conquering other countries.
