Because apparently we have to explain this to people again

The right to free speech is the right to say what you want without repercussions from the government

The right to free speech does not require anyone to give you a platform to spout your shit

The right to free speech does not require anyone to listen to your shit

The right to free speech only applies to repercussions from the government, not other people, groups, or organisations

Okay, I've had several power cuts within the space of an hour or so. This has never happened before. o.o

Globalpol, fustration 

The hurricanes hitting northen europe, and partially the UK, have proven to me that a lot of people, in the space of a year, have given up on the fight against that toupee wearing facist. If people are giving up that easily, then I have no time for them. He's wrecking the planet by threatening war and damaging the climate. Now is not the time to curl up and die, the time is to fight back and try!

I have a tagline! Qubes OS: We try harder to compensate for terrible design choices!

If you're really worried about Spectre and Meltdown, and worry that the NSA or someone is after you..well, at least Qubes OS is trying harder than anyone else?: qubes-os.org/news/2018/01/11/q

Game babbling, Linux 

You know how I told you about a way to make Civ 5 and 6 run on OpenGL 2.1 and lower? Well, here it is. Put this in the steam "Launch Options" window:

LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 %command&

This will only affect the game you put the option in. This is Linux only, since Windows has DirectX 11 and things like that, so..yeah.

Game babbling 

Okay, so I guess both Civ 5 and 6 need OpenGL 3 or higher to run. You can kluge it to run, but it's slow and not very good looking.

So..will Civilization 6 run on a Centrino 2? I think it's worth to test it!

Earth-chan 

I dare you to share this version of the current 4-chan favorite. Nothing will annoy them more! ruhacchi.deviantart.com/art/Ea

With steam, it is possible to save money, and stay within Steam's licence agreement if you shop around at the licenced resellers.

Now..do I bring my steam password to diceware standard?

An excevation for the ages 

Well, okay, it's just a little under £10, but..hey, I got my steam account back!

An excevation for the ages 

It cost me around £10 for a year of domain use, but I was able to recover my old steam account!

Transphobia, suicide 

I have seen too many friends die to be told, “relax its a joke”.

Say some transphobic shit, get hit.

Racism 

Now I'm being yelled at for saying that Ugandian Knuckles is racist because it mocks their accent. Geez.

Okay, Win 10 won't format DD floppy disks natively, but you can trick it into doing so by the command prompt.

Simply open an elevated command prompt, run FORMAT A:, and it will begin formatting. I wil let you know if there's any ill effects.
