i believe the only path for tariffs now involves congress (as it should), and i doubt congress wants to do this song and dance again, these companies that were affected are big donors afterall.

cats are incapable of resisting the intrusive thoughts

welcome to the master race

eyyyyy, shameless self-promo, but i made a community a couple days ago called !politicaloptimism@piefed.social

i’m a little nervous about bringing this up since i’m the one of the only people active there right now, but we have a “Seeking Optimism” flair for people who are concerned about things and want assurance for the most sensational narratives over what’s happening.

i’ve been hearing complaints in the vocal synth community about getting called “slop” for using vocaloid by people who don’t know what it is. we live in the worst timeline. any kind of digital processing or tools are just slop now.

remember keyboard cat? pepperidge farms remembers… 😔✊️

cook bacon in water.

don’t drown it, but add just enough to render out the fat without the bacon being in direct contact with the pan, preventing sticking and burning. then once the water steams out the bacon is left to fry in its own juice, giving perfectly crispy bacon every time.

for a longer answer… i was turned off from vanilla ubuntu because the linux community in general doesn’t seem to like it and i just assumed ubuntu’s time in the sun was done.

i liked linux mint, and still use it on my old thinkpads, but it feels dated, and i had a screen which needed wayland. i stayed on fedora for a little over a year, almost two. i bounced around a little until one day i decided to just try ubuntu and haven’t felt the need to leave since. i mean, linux mint and pop are only good because ubuntu lts is good, right?

now the cloud deletes the files on your computer

i plan to do a fresh install when the official release comes in april

ended my distrohopping.

i can’t count how many times i’ve been and seen others get shamed as a lib loser for thinking voting matters. on the other hand, it turns out the right just liked fascism all along.

what’s odd is i hear this kind of thing from the left, not the right

and remember, you are what you eat

gross

biden also had all kinds of programs that specifically helped rural people who voted for trump. the chips act brought battery factories (now cancelled thanks to tariffs) AND his infrastructure bill that is bringing high speed internet to rural country right now.
