No problem, I have GIMP installed.

SO THAT’S WHAT IT IS?!

Tbf that said

Hasn’t it been revealed that Epstein is coordinating with oligarchs

That’s called a conspiracy, the root words Con-(together) and Spiro-(to breathe), “conspiracy” means “to breathe together,” and the conspirators don’t even have to know they’re conspirators as long as they’re growing the same plant, to use a metaphor.

So it isn’t that conspiracies don’t exist, by nature they do, it’s just which ones are based in reality and which ones are based elsewhere (mostly racism). The “conspiracy theory” that much of the world’s leaders are pedos making use of an immense human trafficking network ended up being true, the “conspiracy theory” that Epstein worked for Mossad to get blackmail material on said ring seems to have weight behind it (iirc it isn’t confirmed but there’s evidence for the claims), the FBI killed MLK (and lost TWO civil court cases about it), etc.

Not everything is David Icke ass lizard people, some actually have teeth.

Dude honestly I cannot recommend this enough, and to all who are in a similar position:

While you still have your main system as a fallback, get a used cheap laptop with ~8gb ram just to fuck around and try linux, install [your distro] FedoraKDE, and play around.

If a relative or friend is upgrading and gonna trash their current because the HW is choked by windows, ask to buy it for a reasonable price, cheap to you because old trash HW anyway, but a couple bucks to help them with their new purchase, win win. That HW that will no longer run windows will run linux just fine, and then you can main the laptop for a bit while you learn but still can boot into your old system to troubleshoot and also don’t have to fuck with dual booting and windows fucking with your linux or boot partitions.

On bash I found out alt+. puts the last last parameter back up, and you can hit it again to keep cycling, that’s what I’ve been using.

Shit I’m gonna need one of those Heist cards, Fuji x-t4. At the moment I haven’t even found the setting for burst and have no train trips planned so I guess I have time, but I better grab my grappling hook lol.

I found that while looking into it a few hours back, but haven’t tried to install it yet (FedoraKDE), thanks!

Unfortunately, thems are for windows, we don’t like their kind 'round here.

I’m sure I can find one for linux though, thanks for the advice!

I just picked up my first real camera, perfect timing huh? Hopefully this one will be good enough when I figure out how to do the burst photos thing as I’m gonna need that I think.

I’m gonna pull a heist on a Staples ffs.

Well Rare Replay includes a few games in it that imo are fucking classics like Conker (but the best version is Live and Reloaded), Ghoulies, Battletoads, Banjo, Viva Pinata, but most of those are available on pc by other methods afaik, just not bundled with “Rare Replay” (which means Conker is better emulated on the xbox OG, because bot battles Squirrel v Bear.)

Me running PKHex: “Just a few ‘legit’ YOSHIRA Mew couldn’t hurt.”

Downvoted but correct, they used to admit it before the exodus, but after the exodus they started denying it to seem more “general” in an attempt to appeal to everyone that isn’t stupid as shit.

Fair enough

Something about stabbings and kidnappings was mentioned earlier? Guns aren’t only to protect against guns, in fact the only time I’ve ever had to “use” a gun for self defense it was because a guy pulled a knife on me. “Use” because I only had to show it, not shoot it, thankfully.

But they can come in handy, even for us lesser people, the poors, even though I don’t make meth, it’s all made in the surrounding rural towns and trafficked here.

Well, since you can’t get rid of them, and since “guns for everybody all the time” is a strawman that actually means “guns for people who haven’t proved themselves to be a danger to themselves or others yet,” I’m gonna say I prefer the “innocent until proven guilty” model.

That still isn’t “everybody,” all felonies, DV misdemeanors, adjudicated IVCs, children, and drug addicts (admittedly self reported on that one, but still), all bar you from gun ownership even in the land of 600,000,000 guns (not an exaggeration). Actually I even think for nonviolent felons there should be a path back to gun ownership and voting (they also lose that right, as fucked up as it is), and some violent misdemeanors should be added to the list (something like simple assault can be the result of just a fight, but robbery or aggravated battery otoh should probably be on there even in places where it isn’t a felony, and it should probably just be a felony in those places too but what can ya do.)

And yes, criminals gonna criminal, but I’d prefer that if they can just get them anyway, so can I. If even in Aus the criminals can still get them, then the US has no hope that we can stop it either. You’re an island with 90% unusable territory that only has to control the ports and you still have smugglers, we can’t even control our ports either much less the two big ass land borders and we never will, we will always have smugglers.

So only the good people can’t get them but the bad people still can? Poor people can’t protect themselves but rich people can because of course they’re better than us? Sounds like a good plan I guess.

But I was led to believe that was impossible, that if you make them illegal nobody but the police (who we all trust, right?) will have them.

I don’t think Meshtastic would work for that with a 200char limit.

Usenet and torrents otoh, already can’t stop that. Not to mention lying is still a thing. I’m 136 years old so I should know.

Wait, so instead of me telling every website I’m 90, I’ll tell my OS I’m 90 and the sites will query that, and this somehow works better? I’m not 90 btw, so all I’m doing is just changing who I’m lying to from zyn.com to Fedora? Great plan.

Drive by shootings? In Australia?! How is that possible, didn’t you guys ban guns 30yr ago?
