There was a time when the pyramids were just a pile of stones

Like others have said I think you should seriously consider checking your mental health with a psychiatrist.

I'm sorry if it's not the case, but you shouldn't risk it if it is, I've seen cases like this and it's really sad to witness. It only goes downhill from there if left untreated..

I think some years back the EU passed a law that forbade paid lootbox type rewards, we need to see more of these measures in gaming of all kinds.

This is why you should support any surviving local theaters that aren't chains. Monopolies aren't created solely by the companies but with the help of the consumers too

The legendary bean post of '23

I'm so used to having to bend over backwards to walk anywhere in Greece that I literally could not see the problem

You say it as if it's an intended feature lol, this was an injection attack

Social media misinformation is far from being the largest cause. There are so many people living in villages and islands that aren't educated, and fully believe the far right's fairy tales about how they're going to fix the system and restore things to how they used to be.

I agree about social media though, I think that the EU needs to give Meta, Google and Twitter an ultimatum: Fix your algorithms in order not to create echo chambers of misinformation otherwise you're gone from every EU country.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

I hope everyone supporting nationalist politicians because the old days were better for them take some time out of their day to reflect on this, let WW1 and WW2 at least have the positive side of teaching us about what not to fall for as citizens.

No, the Desktop Environment (KDE, DE stands for Desktop Environment).

Kubuntu is a separate thing, it's Ubuntu with KDE preinstalled.

KDE Neon on the other hand, is an ubuntu based distro from what I understand, I've never used it though.

If they want to crate a Lemmy instance so badly, why don't they? It's open source, everyone can host an instance if they want to.

The only thing I can imagine is that they're restricted from monetizing it due to some rule of the license

You're right, it installed without problem on Chrome, I'm writing this from wefwef

I'm not saying that Americans didn't play their dirty tricks as usual, but it was Italian voters that elected Meloni, not the US..

Doesn't work for me. I have Android and I used DuckDuckGo initially but there wasn't any install option, then I used Firefox and clicked Install from the settings while I was on the homepage and on the settings/install page but neither did anything, they just moved me to the app launcher (my home screen).

I don't think it stands for either, I saw somewhere that it stands for Marx-Lenin since the founders are communists

Whether the people are partially to blame or not is a complicated topic. Both in the US and Italy, about half of the population were educated/smart enough to see through their propaganda. The right wing party still won though because they picked their target audience effectively and tailored their whole campaign around that audience.

Don't overthink it, it's a natural long term process, you don't need to create a complete rice in one go.

Personally I'd recommend Arch since it's a good way to "disillusion" yourself from what your system comprises of, because you have to consciously choose many components at installation, especially if you choose a simple WM instead of a full DE.

It's easy to be overwhelmed but you shouldn't, it's very enjoyable to just tweak things now and then and keep improving everything over time.

Still didn't work on Firefox though

I was about to comment calling you an asshole but I didn't expect this tbh. I appreciate you listening and understanding your errors, people don't do this often enough.

I've never tried an alternate launcher, do you need to root your phone to do it? And can you easily go back if you change your mind?

I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you feel better soon
