  • I see you post a lot, and it's normally fine, never an apocalyptically bad take like this before. So I hope you'll take this well.

    The "West Taiwan" meme and the oft repeated thing about the constitution of the RoC still claiming the mainland is dumb. It's only because the CCP threatens immediate war - if Taipei changes their constitution to reflect post-1949 reality, that would be considered "a declaration of independence" and trigger a missile barrage.

    Only about 2% of people in Taiwan identify as Chinese, and I can guarantee they're almost all old as rocks, maybe a lot of them went to school when schooling was still in Japanese. The vast majority of citizens identify as Taiwanese, the country has NO intent to "reconquer the mainland".

    You can actually still find moss-covered old fortifications in the hills above Taipei with slogans like that, but they were built no later than the 50s, in the White Terror era.

    Please let this "West Taiwan / Best China" stuff die.

  • this is why h264ify is a pre-installed extension in RPiOS' builds of browsers.

    made sense, until the Pi 5 dropped h264 hw decode. still waiting for a good explanation of that.

    It's a good thing projects like Armbian are steadily improving support for Rockchip-based SBCs, to open up the market beyond Raspberry.

  • i'm guessing because she's the only senator with a notable quantity of deepfake porn made of her.

  • you can, i can't, locally.

    depends where you live.

  • at dawn of the third film, look to my coming at the door

  • baking soda.

    it doesn't dissolve well, so a straw is a massive help, instead of trying to swirl it into the water off the sides of the glass.

    not helpful for a low-sodium diet, but sure kills that burn real quick.

  • lols at some of those being our determined trolls, trying to make us have a swastika or some bullshit

  • Pronouncing nonsense? That's a bonkin'.

  • gripens and florks are my happy place

  • i've been in an edit war with two hexbear/ml goons for pretty much a solid hour now, it's hilarious.

    keeps changing the N of nato to an H. i change it back.

    again, again, again, again, i'm laughing my ass off tbh. dude, i'm sitting on a train, listening to a podcast, you're really not wasting my time, it's just funny.

  • ok, this is strangely fun

    beating back the hexgoons

  • cool, i'm sure glad inaction is virtuous, makes being lazy feel better

  • It's a reply button, not a disagree button.

  • Wish that were so, but, Putin bootlickers like Jackson Hinkle (married his FSB honey trap), Jimmy Dore, twice convicted pedophile Scott Ritter, et cetera, are all doing real damage by spreading disinformation and hatred, perverting democracy, against helping victims of aggression in Ukraine and Syria.

  • I like the story of mid-1800s crowds shouting "viva L’Italia!" and half the crowd wondering "who is Talia? Garibaldi's wife?"

  • prisons used to have treadmills to power machines. six hours a day, with rest breaks.

    when there's an engine to replace that, of course they'd explain it in terms of how many men it could replace permanently.

    saying "but look at how much power Usain Bolt can produce for a few seconds" is not relevant.

    the hp unit is reasonable based on whole-day power from typical farm horses.

  • I'm Spanish and I don't fight bulls. I'm from Poland. Also you shouldn't call Europeans Spanish, it's considered offensive. And maybe stop saying Europeans eat pasta, we don't eat pasta.

  • you don't seem to have considered that your profession exists in every other country, and in your nation's peers, your peers in the same profession are less miserable than you seem to be.
