For what it’s worth, I am a frequent lurker of hexbear and their users’ newspaper archive is wonderful - every politician is full of it and they know it full well.

Brickardo@feddit.nlto SquaredCircle@lemmy.zip•Ronda Rousey finally apologizes for her now 11 year old tweet about Sandy Hook.English10·9 months agoIt’s a pity she had to see her income go down to muster an apology. Regardless, it seems genuine - the general disregard for paragraphs (as well as avoiding a line of separation when we venture with one) being the dead giveaway here.
Oh yeah I can work under pressure
Wait, you don’t mean with the song playing in the background?

Brickardo@feddit.nlto chapotraphouse@hexbear.net•Anyone watch The Man in the High CastleEnglish8·9 months agoI think that, in the absence of a truly antagonist character, the Nazis were doomed to play something similar to Cold War with the Japanese. You can only act like the baddies for so long before the audience gets desensitized to it, imo.
Regardless, I think some bits and pieces of the story are still quite relevant and they hit like a wall. For instance, John Smith losing his child to the brainwashing nazi machinery (he had to forfeit his life because of a truly forgettable genetic defect), and then also losing it in the “alternative dimension” to the brainwashing American machine for the Vietnam war.
I’m South American though, so for me both the Nazis and the USA are irredeemable. This may have skewed my enjoyment of the show in a different direction than yours!
Brickardo@feddit.nlto chapotraphouse@hexbear.net•Anyone watch The Man in the High CastleEnglish19·9 months agoI think it’s a very fun show! The setting of the show is a somewhat interesting thought exercise. But don’t get me wrong, the stuff about portals and alternate dimensions was being hinted at since the very beginning. If you care about story writing, the arcs of John Smith and the Japanese lads are very interesting to follow as well.
A final thought about the final season:
spoiler
It felt just a bit too rushed toward the end. For instance, it’s almost like they felt like the Black Communist Rebellion couldn’t ultimately win, otherwise the cattle would be asking questions.
Brickardo@feddit.nlto Programming@programming.dev•Is the new #zed editor mostly hype rn?2·9 months agoMy device doesn’t have a graphics card and only has two threads, so I guess it’s just for higher end devices?
Tried it, my device crashes every 2 minutes in. Not worth the effort for now.

I myself cannot afford to lose some FPS (as in most games I can barely hit 30), but I cannot wait for the moment I can buy a gaming device and enjoy all these goodies!
If they have root access to my PC, webcam access is arguably not my biggest concern
To the people who insist on me adding a sticky note to my webcam, I can only say

We know full well in here that that’s what capitalists want you to believe anarchism is about so it’s all good
Brickardo@feddit.nlto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are you depressed? Do you know anyone NOT depressed?2·9 months agoIn my case, I’m just addicted to social media like Lemmy. That’s what causes it. I can’t quit it.
Without missing a heartbeat. Cars made in China tend to have extremely cool gadgets you never see in European cars. Be it front, back, lateral facing cameras or any other type of sensors. They’ve got so many cool stuff we’re just missing out on, man.
Nah, that’s not it - Warframe did it right
