I think most people just leave it in the plastic bag, but personally I have a bread bag that breathes so the crust doesn’t become spongey

The real tragedy about this thing is that when the right aligns itself so heavily with the “white genocide” narrative, it delegitimizes real problems in South Africa among liberals and leads them to side with the government of SA.

The ANC is an extremely corrupt political party which has seriously mismanaged South Africa. They do, in fact, weaponize government against white South Africans, seizing land and redistributing it to black South Africans. They scapegoat them in order to distract from their own corruption and economic mismanagement.

This does not rise to the level of “genocide” as Elon Musk would put it, but many people in the west sort of implicitly assume that the South African government is righteous because it’s run by the party of Nelson Mandela, but even black south Africans have started to become fed up with them and gave them a large electoral blow in the 2024 elections. They are still the leading party, but at less than 50% of the vote, so they now have to cooperate with coalition partners

Do you mean Ghost CMS?

I have never in my entire life seen an actual bread box, I thought they were a thing from England or something

What OS?

When I worked for a company that was constantly pivoting and rebranding like this, it was the writing on the wall that indicated the ship was sinking. It was sold to a competitor at a major loss a year later

It’s insane to me that there are basically no good options for a secure and private phone from a major manufacturer. All commercial options have some caveats, even Apple. It seems like Google Pixel + Graphene is the only option but you have to do that yourself and it still ONLY supports Google Pixel (for technical reasons, I understand). Literally any laptop can be made secure and private by installing Linux, but with phones your options are severely limited by hardware

it’s going to bombard you with an avalanche of pop ups and nag-dialogues that a person who’s logging in every day might not appreciate

I’m not sure what you’re talking about because I just don’t get any of those.

1. I never installed anything related to 365
2. I opted out of onedrive
3. I turned off copilot

And I never get popups for them. I main Xubuntu but probably spend half my time in Windows 11 for software development and W11 is basically just a visual studio machine for me. I upgraded my CPU recently and it’s pretty snappy now, too!

I’m not saying your view is wrong, I’m just saying that your experience has been completely different from mine apparently

I really fucking hate seeing this woman’s face. It’s like if you took every over-surgeried instagram MLM/“wellness” influencer and put them all into one face.

You don’t have to enable any of those things, though. I don’t even have W11 signed into a MS account. I use W11 mostly for C++ development these days though.

I think people should not use websites where they cannot delete their own posts. I think it presents major security risks. Hackernews, for example, doesn’t allow users to delete posts beyond a certain date. Allegedly, you can email them to request your data be deleted, but they’ve never replied to my emails.

I believe it’s changed the expectations around “instant” messaging. When I was growing up, if someone texted you, you weren’t obligated to reply immediately. With IMs, you might reply if you were near your computer.

Now, my project manager messages me on slack over lunch break and then messages me like 15mins later with “Hello???”

Trump was the original COVID too

what

shut down a pro-Palestinian student occupation of the campus’ Butler Library

I don’t understand, though. Were they expecting not to be arrested? I thought that was the point of civil disobedience. What was the point of occupying the library if not to instigate a response from police or campus police?

I work with these fucking yuppies every day and I hate them so fucking much.

There are lots of examples where a socialist approach is preferable to unfettered capitalism.

None of the things you described are examples of socialism. Socialism is not “when the government does things”

Tell me why that’s a bad thing? Why should I care?

I said a good keyboard. Plus the OSs are garbage

Every single one of those people should have their licenses suspended. AI, which is inherently a misrepresentation of truth, belongs nowhere near a courtroom. They should legitimately be ashamed of themselves for allowing such an abortion into a courtroom
