The Democrat/Republican one would be first on my list

same here except i didn’t know that there was a 4th; what’s it called?

til of waterfox and fennec; thanks for the reply.

i get that you’re joking; but i literally got a coupon for equifax’s credit monitoring service when the OPM was hacked back in 2015.

Veronica Explains did a fascinating video on multimedia generation a little while ago.

it’s not exactly what you’re seeking, but my own experiences with going outside the norm with multimedia in linux gets you into niche territory REALLY fast and the best way to find you’re seeking to ask people; so i would ask Veronica if they know anyone who might be able to help.

again, feelings are not facts

i literally just pointed out many instances of the same thing happening outside of china; my point is that it happens everywhere and your feeling that it only happens is china is not reality.

it’s not just the usa; similar actions have happened in the uk and france regarding the genocide and they’ve also punished people for advocating for lgbtq rights in the past.

that feeling that you have regarding repression from countries like china is only a feeling; not reality.

I just have this feeling like you get persecuted for speaking against the government in countries like China

Tell that to the students that were expelled from their universities and had their degrees revoked or the public employees that were for fired for speaking out against the American government’s support for the Gazan genocide.

Not to mention the civil servants that were fired/fined for advocating for LGBTQ rights in the decades past.

it’s actively accelerating climate change that will result in ending our civilization in the future and, like our captured political process, everyone sits aside and just lets it happen out of fear of being harmed themselves.

meme’s are more consumable because of their brevity and their humor and i wonder whether or not they’re more proned to manipulation given that longer forms of media DEFINITELY are given that they require much more capital to create.

This field is so incredibly lousy w people like us that it makes me marvel at the ones w the kind of job security that I crave because it means that their hyper focus not only aligns w the company’s profit line but they’ve also managed to have a tenure that steered clear of enough clueless neurotypicals to keep them from getting fired or on the chopping block for a layoff.

I qualify as an aspie too and I would likely be in the same boat were it not for my software development skills.

did the same and it’s the first time i’ve used lemmy’s blocklist; i hope there aren’t more in the future

i’ve recently had to accept that my neurodivergence makes managers, supervisors, etc. uneasy about me despite my stellar track record and the sole reason why i was able to maintain continuous employment was because of my high demand skill set; which means that employment will become increasingly difficult as i continue to age.

If you can afford it; get a lawyer in involved.

If you can’t: pray, if you’re religious

If you’re not: I hope you’re not American and I hope you’re lucky

I suspect that this is the story for most Linux users; windows failing at a critical need
