GlobalPol, New athesists 

The New atheist movement seems to dump anything that's not "rational", but they also are, for the most part, Anarcho-Capitalists, which is irrational to any sane person.

The irony is so thick, you could cut it with a knife.

There does exist a Dylexic font, but it's closed source. Thankfully, there's an open version! opendyslexic.org/

Furcode likely changes I could make 

For the gender of character:

Snb - Nonbinary

and for the gender of person

snb - Nonbinary

Only issue I have is lack of support for Non-binary characters and people.

Pol, venting, some anger (3/3) 

It's giving me a headache trying to think about it, and I've already made myself sweat and shake, thank you, anxiety(!).

Ugh..sorry you had to see that side of me, but it's driving me crazy.

Pol, venting, some anger (2/?) 

To a bunch of brick walls! What's the point of trying to survive in the wasteland that will follow? Killing people without guilt? Is that all you want to do? Just stop playing Fallout for hours on end and look at reality for one moment! How far will this go? I..I feel at a loss here! I feel like I'm speaking some future language that no-one understands at all! How can I get through to people! I..I..help me. Help me understand this!

Pol, venting, some anger (1/?) 

You may be wondering what I'm going to talk about. Well, once, someone claimed that we're so close to nuking outselves thanks to nazis, and I thought "You're an idiot." Now, I'm really starting to think it, because it's clear that you can't speak sense to that idiot, and I feel like that it's inevitable, but the atomic scientists will find a way to cop out of saying that we're doomed! It's amazing! How close are we really? No matter what I say, it feels like...

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

Hey fellow #mastoadmins did you know that if you run Mastodon in a Docker container, you can eventually build up a whole ton of old, broken images that'll make your container too full to run any more?

You can solve this by doing
docker rmi $(docker images |grep '<none>' | awk '{print $3}' )

I suspect I should probably put this in a cron job so I never need to do it again.

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!

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