So, basically the description of dystopia as seen in 1984 is applied differently depending on which country you live in, but it still technically exists everywhere. And that's just depressing.

Silver. He's not very "silvery", but I named him that when he was very young and when he had way whiter fur (no racism intended)

My poor internet refuses to let me upload one of the many pictures I have of him.

Still gender non-conforming, still present myself as a cisgender male, still get misgendered both online and IRL, still get accused of "homosexuality" (I'm asexual and aromantic aka NOT Gay).

And the fact that I live in Morocco only worsens these problems.

That explains a lot.

I genuinely thought that what comes after "well done" is "congratulations"

We could make an anti-MEMRI.

The Hebrew letter Chet does indeed correspond to the Arabic letter ح which makes the hard H sound. Since most Hebrew speakers cannot pronounce it, the closest sound to them is KH (also represented by the letter Kuf, Arabic equivalent is خ), thus when they try to pronounce "Hamas", they end up saying "KHAMASSS". And no, Chet is not the only Hebrew letter affected by a sound change like this, but it's the relevant one because it's used in the Hebrew spelling of "Hamas".

Hope that makes it make more sense.

I mean, it's a lot more fun for him to clean off the "gooch" that's found in these nasty computers, and entertain us in the process.

This is why I absolutely love this guy.

Google Nose?

(Yes, that was real, and yes, that was an April Fools joke)

And now I wish I was in the EU, at least so that Big Tech doesn't shit on me repeatedly.

I still rely on it for the Google Assistant, possibly the only Google related thing I still use that isn't YouTube.

And no, I'm not switching to Gemini.

 

The scene shows up at about the 4:52 mark. I just thought it was funny.

 

I've had a pretty poor experience with it myself, so I wanna see what the Linux community thinks about this.

 

Just... why??

 

Screen resolution settings go from 480p straight to 720p, with no 576p. I kept wondering why for years.

 

Screenshot is from a video by Global Things on YouTube. I kinda have to say this, because f*** plagiarism.

 

If this was a real city, it would be the largest city of Dooland (not the capital, the capital would be Almara) if that were a real country. Context: the Summer Olympics take place in July/August, the Winter Olympics in February, and Eurovision in May.

 

This is just a concern I had with the client. Back during the good ol' Reddit days, I get notified about a post/comment reply immediately when it happens. I have since left that website, and for some reason I don't know why this isn't a feature yet.

And yes I have tried Connect for Lemmy, I had major problems with that app.

 

This guy has always scared me as a kid
