SmokeInFog@midwest.socialto World News@lemmy.ml•Marine Le Pen banned from running for French presidency in 2027 and given four-year sentence in embezzlement trial – liveEnglish52·1 month agoJust to show either how transparent you are or how much of a fool you are, let me duckduckgo “concern troll” for you.
Again, [EDIT: kindly shove off]. You’re either one of those tools who wants to both sides [EDIT: freakin’] fascism or you’re a genuine paid opposition troll. Either way I don’t have any more time for you.
EDIT: Lol, you’re two month old account is just a bunch of concern trolling comments! What a tool. Get a better job, loser.
SmokeInFog@midwest.socialto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Trump’s FBI Moves to Criminally Charge Major Climate GroupsEnglish8·2 months agoActive oppression of climate science is so much worse than apathetic neglect. I thought I was mad when they were just axing funding and positions but this has brought me up to a whole new level.

SmokeInFog@midwest.socialtoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Hamas urges Trump to meet released Palestine prisonersEnglish2·2 months agoWhat about anything Trump has done leads you to think it’s a good sign? Was it his meeting with Zelenskyy? Meeting directly with the Ukrainian government did not work out for Ukraine.
SmokeInFog@midwest.socialto Fediverse@lemmy.world•What if we called instances providers?English7·2 months agoNot really. In that metaphor it’s more like, “I chose the McDonald’s down at the corner to get my Big Mac instead of the one across town.”
SmokeInFog@midwest.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I never understood any of it, should I just say I’m straight and express my support for the community without saying I’m queer?English14·2 months agoIt does sound like you’re straight. Nothing wrong with that. So yeah, if you’re straight, stop claiming to be bi.

SmokeInFog@midwest.socialto The Onion@midwest.social•Democrats Announce Bold Plan to Resist Trump Policies by Playing Katy Perry’s “Roar” Really LoudEnglish40·2 months agoI don’t believe you’re making that argument in good faith. Every one of his nominees have been ridiculous caricatures of stereotypical MAGA car salesman
SmokeInFog@midwest.socialto The Onion@midwest.social•Democrats Announce Bold Plan to Resist Trump Policies by Playing Katy Perry’s “Roar” Really LoudEnglish1051·2 months agoOne thing they could do is stop voting with republicans to confirm Trump’s appointees. Have you seen. how well the Republicans obstruct? They can get everybody in their rank and file out on network TV to call for banning a book by title while the democrats can’t even get their best faces on TV to call what’s happening with NY’s mayor blatant quid pro quo corruption
EDIT: Trump energy chief says there are upsides to ecological collapse
SmokeInFog@midwest.socialtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Trump may try to buy off Americans with DOGE refund scam.English8·2 months agoFrom the article:
“We’re thinking about giving 20% back to the American citizens and 20% down to pay back debt,” Trump said at a conference of business executives in Florida. “If it were a real-estate balance sheet, the debt is tiny, but we still, we still want to pay it down.”
Even if DOGE’s recovered savings could be split among the American people and the federal deficit—with 20% going toward each—it’s unclear what the president’s plans are for the leftover 60%.
Yeah, so guess who’s going too get the rest of it even if it’s something that stayed in his head for more than 5 minutes
SmokeInFog@midwest.socialtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Trump may try to buy off Americans with DOGE refund scam.English13·2 months agoWhat? Aside from the fact that this won’t happen – they said they’ll only do it if they can “cut” $1 trillion, which they’re not going to be able to do and keep a functioning government that can send payments – this is only a one-time check

Lol, that’s so stupid that I wouldn’t bother to read anything else by that joker

How long have you been hopping? Is this your 3rd week or your 30th?
What are you looking for? Why are you hopping still?
What are some pros of the distros you tried? What are some of the cons?
Overall what’s your favorite distro so far and which is your least?
I don’t know about that. I’ve been running Mint, an Ubuntu based distro, for over a decade now on tons of machines with no stability issues at all. But then again I make sure to buy hardware that is known to support linux well. All of my laptops have been from Tuxedo except for this last one which is a Framework.
