As much as I love the Matrix films and the philosophical depth to the world that the Wachowski brothers created, I really think the majority of the doomerism we see today is a result of the mentality that The Matrix cultivated. "You're in a simulation. Everything is futile, so you have to escape. But when you escape, the world is even more bleak than you thought it was: the very dystopia you feared in fiction is now the true reality. Only a handful of us are able to wake up and fight to free everybody else but until we do that, trust no one. Even your comrades-in-arms will betray you so they can go on enjoying their life of blissful ignorance. Oh, and even once we do save the world, we don't truly save it, we just make a deal with the bad guys (which we created, BTW) and they just give us a little bit more freedom than we had before. The world doesn't rebuild, the only hope is to go back into the simulation now that we have the freedom to choose whether we live in it or not." What a nihilistic way to view the world. That is, in so many terms, an analog for how so many people view the world today. Living in defeatism and apathy, so many have surrendered to despair. "Why bother? We're cooked either way. All our heroes have failed us, we're on our own." You will never achieve victory that way. The only victory that will come will be the victory of your enemies relishing in your own self-defeat. Then again, it's far easier to throw your hands up in surrender and say "that's just the way it is" than it is to stand up, brace yourself and run against the current. Doomerism boils down to weakness and laziness, nothing more. Draw your swords, men of honor. We already won, we're just fighting against the last death throes of the infernal world order. The sooner we get moving and build our dynasties, the sooner we take up our crowns. The world needs us to stand our ground, so let's stop conceding to apathy! ⚔️ ✝️ ☦️ #Christianity #postmil #inspiration #doomerism #blackpill #matrix

Spoiler: Linus isn't the one saying the video title, unsurprisingly. That said, at least we're finally getting somewhere with his Linux journey 🤪

Once you learn how to use Kvantum in combination with KDE Plasma's built-in theming, you really unlock a lot of potential to give your system a truly beautiful aesthetic. The only problem is that some themes don't seem to work well even with their companion Kvantum theming, which means some of the ones I really wanted to try (including one inspired by Apple's gorgeous Liquid Glass aesthetic) won't work the way they were meant to work. #Linux #theming #ui #KDEPlasma

As someone who uses an Arch-based distro, this news is alarming. Fortunately, I checked and I seem to be safe from this but it's a good example of how decentralization can have some level of danger to it, despite the freedom it offers.

Over 400 Arch Linux packages compromised to push rootkit, infostealer

More than 400 packages in the Arch User Repository (AUR) are distributing a Linux rootkit and infostealer malware targeting credentials and access ...

Samsung, as a corporate entity, is garbage. However, I do like their products for the most part. Their software is particularly solid: their launcher, OneUI, is incredible, for example. The level of theming you can do with it is out of this world. I set up a custom theme on my Samsung phone that combines the aesthetic of the canceled Windows Longhorn's "Plex" theme and MacOS Tahoe's Liquid Glass aesthetic and it looks so good. It combines a theme pack, custom icons, an animated lockscreen wallpaper, a static wallpaper I got from an app called Wallflow, and then I created a custom theme for FUTO Keyboard that brings the aesthetic together perfectly. I can't go to such extremes with other Android launchers I've tried.

How can anyone be anti-AI when gems like this exist? 😂

It's always annoying when sinus drainage starts up out of nowhere, with no particular reason driving it to do so. 😒

You know, the wife in the concept of Seventh Wonder's third album, Mercy Falls, is a complete and utter scumbag. She has an affair, gets pregnant by the guy she was having an affair with, doesn't tell anyone until confessing to her husband as he's driving home years later, causing a horrific car crash that puts him in the coma that the majority of the story takes place in. Then, later, her son tries to donate bone marrow and it's rejected by the man because it's not his child. All the while, she drinks herself into a stupor. In other words, she KNEW the treatment wouldn't work because her son wasn't HIS son, yet she let her son go through the process of trying to donate to save the life of the man that he thought was his dad ("Tears for a Father" takes an even more tragic note after that knowledge: https://open.spotify.com/track/0p2GvgD1B9DyqF0UlvHJAX). She let her son risk his life to selflessly try to save a man that he grew up believing was his dad. She didn't tell him that he was born from the affair, and then after the treatment is rejected, she just gives up and lets her husband fade away thus causing her son to lose his father (even if not by blood) while pretending that she actually loved her husband. I never made that realization until now... a very underrated concept album, to be sure!

The letter he sent to them to warn them before filing the suit is exactly why I stand behind Louis entirely. That outro is incredible! "I will spend more time and money getting this resolved than the drive is worth. That is the point. If you did this to me on a $330 part because the replacement now costs you $950, you are doing it to other people who do not have the time, the paper trail, or the willingness to stand in a courtroom over it. I do. You have 60 days." LET'S GO. Get 'em, Louis! 🔥
