I think even UK common law has something to say about that, some kind of Magna Carta? We regressed right back to pre-constitutional monarchy, do not pass go.

Dude literally pointed to his friends who made a killing on it, and posted "buy" info on his socials before reversing.

If we had any kind of system of laws, that'd be jail time.

Fingers crossed, right?

That's a good suggestion, and I will look

I feel that. I'm currently using a laptop from like 2017 (with a 1050) and honestly... if it dies, I'm pretty well hosed.

See, that's real prep, not buying 2,000 cans of beans and 20k in ammo :D

I can't afford to get any real last-minute stuff, unfortunately. What I did do was stock up on rice and the spices that I largely use, and got some new shoes from walmart earlier than I normally would.

I put off the things I had been saving for (like a vero v), canceled everything but my basic phone service, and I'll be seeing how much stuff I can get by with repairing/cobbling.

What's sad is that the billionaires who control the only grocery options for 90 miles will be getting a LOT more of my income, and the small businesses (music stores, thrift stores, things like that) will be getting left. Thereby amplifying the wealth extraction already happening.

F this, and f everyone who voted for it.

TBF, Target largely brought this on themselves before the DEI stuff. They're more expensive here than a proper dept store, and everything is locked in plastic and takes forever to get.

Can't boycott what I already wasn't using.

I've always assumed that was the whole point

Probably my faves. There's a few others on pixelfed/mastodon that I follow as well, but more special interest

KDE. I've been using it as my daily driver for roughly 10 years now, and barring any unforeseen excitement, it'll stay that way indefinitely. Proably until I stop using Linux, anyhow.

Well, there's certainly some rallies. I've attended a couple, but we're certainly getting low on polite options.
