Funny how 8 years ago, people kept saying "don't worry about Trump, there are checks and balances in place". None of that talk this time around!

Plato's Republic.
I got really interested by its description in Bertrand Russell's History of Western Philosophy. After reading the book, I realized how arbitrary the setup of current society is. Then I followed it up with More's Utopia and Marx' Das Kapital. A true Big Bang for my political views.

They even had the gall to put this piece of shit in my Recommended Podcasts feed. Back to SoulSeek it is for me!
By that rationale, wouldn't other people then also be dead, as you cannot experience their consciousness?
A local extreme right MP had his ties to Chinese spies laid bare this year, did not even make a dent in the polls.
The elections will be brutal...
I second this, very nice indeed!
I also use their Picard software to check the downloaded album, then it updates the metadata automatically and places them in the appropriate folder structure.
I'm from a country in western Europe, and our pharmacies are running low. My dad was told several times over the last months that they're out of stock and he should come back next week. Sure, the price here might be okay, but Pharma seems to prefer selling it more expensively elsewhere.
Olauncher - very minimal, no distractions. Shows the app's full name instead of icons, handfull of links on the main page, the rest can be found in the app drawer in a long list of app names.
Edit: just saw the mention here of mlauncher, an open source fork. Making the switch now 🙂
Ex-banker president targets banks... Now that'd be quite an unexpecred headline! Shame it'll never be.
Distro Chooser is giving you great advice. I love EndeavourOS. First started out on it with KDE, now I'm on sway, everything just works perfectly, so I can definitely recommend it!
Do give Russell's History of Western Philosophy a try. It places those books into a much needed context. When I first picked up that book, it was out of a hope to learn more about philosophy, but after finishing it, I only had those three books on my 'definitely must read' list. I know there's a companion book to Das Kapital written by David Harvey, but he's not the easiest to read either. And Marx, omfg, that mofo has a way of dancing around things for pages on end through the most labyrinthine sentences, so I can definitely commiserate! It took me months to get through the whole thing. Luckily I was in the middle of a move, without TV or computer, so that helped a lot :)
It's a very intersting viewpoint, pardon me for exploring further. So future you (or me) is also dead until the brief flash of life where yours and his consciousness finally overlap, before lapsing into nothingness again.
It's very reasonable even, to think everything not experienced this very moment is totally alien to us.
Thanks for stretching my grey matter on this dull day!
I'm 2 days into trying GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7a and it's been a great experience all around. I reckon I found my main driver for the next couple of years.
The future might seem far off, but it starts right now.
Always reminds me of the hilarious Rockbuster:
The Scottish fellas can't get into their emails. KL
Fallout 4 survivor mode melee build. That game just won't leave me alone!
no indeed, I don't think it's that specific. I mainly browse the weekly exploration playlist, based on my listens, which either recommends other of my favorite songs that I hadn't listened yet, or unknown songs that usually fit my styles. Enough for me to cut the subscriptions 🥳
Love this band, love this song, love this whole album, hell I even love the entire discography.
I never got into QOTSA due to Josh leaving Kyuss. Is that silly of me? Was the break up as bad as I imagine?
That's amazing to watch! Most of the speedrunners don't even defeat the enemies 😮
Hell yea! Subscribed!
Yunohost has a Lemmy app
After 30 years, the eating doors still get me constantly... I don't think I've ever reached the end of this game. Is 1 hour even possible at all?
When the CEO let everybody work from home except for a female junior dev on my team. Not sure whether it was because she's female or an immigrant, but the two of us had other jobs within a month. Fuck these powertripping CEOs.
