I'd prefer it if it were possible to kick these chuds off the fediverse entirely

And they still don't see who they are...

There's no indication that slavery was a factor, only political self-determination

The Commonwealth of England could have been a great idea if they'd planned ahead and thought everything out, but considering the kind of people in charge I'm quite glad they didn't...

Good, you are gatekeeping a meaningless distinction for a definition that has been in use since the 1300s. From wiktionary:

Some usage guides seek to distinguish “jealous” from “envious”, using jealous to mean “protective of one’s own position or possessions” – one “jealously guards what one has” – and envious to mean “desirous of others’ position or possessions” – one “envies what others have”.[1] This distinction is also maintained in the psychological and philosophical literature.[2][3] In common usage, however, although envious is always with respect to others’ possessions or fortune, jealous does not always refer strictly to one’s own possessions (as shown by the citations above).

You're not being forced to use their Santa tracker, it's a US agency having fun with a US tradition.

This isn't about personal beliefs, it's about organised religion (where the church dictates to children their beliefs)

Auto hide the taskbar, burn your wallpaper instead. Oled burn is really is much less of an issue these days thanks to better panels and pixel shifting tech.

I'm not sure where China comes into this article about Russia's comments, but you're right I was being facetious. Russia is a hypocrite for making the comments and the US is a hypocrite for wanting to invde Venezuela over oil.

Local ML translation was pretty cool

 

Data centres that supply domestic heating aren't new, but I've never seen a distributed model like this before.

 

One of the things that Deus Ex captured really well was the pseudonymous federated internet; interactions between random strings on different networks that could go on and on without either party learning who they were speaking to. Alex Jacobson had no idea that the Oracle he was receiving messages from was actually a self aware AI on the net.
