The right-wing ones too.

That is a profoundly weird way to look at it that has sadly been popularized I by what I would suggest is secular media.

Christians don't believe the return of Christ is the end of the world, but more the end of the world as we know it. Christ is to return to rule and effectively eliminate sin, in a final battle, how literal or figurative the visions in Revelation are is something a debate; but doubtless we are talking great upheaval here. It isn't as if the heart hardened wicked leaders of current nations are just going to step aside let alone the serpent.

It is also worth remembering that God keeps his word, the faithful are promised resurrection and that includes in body. Those that have gone to sleep will walk. If you look at that from a worldly perspective that creates a lot of challenges, so I personally think we have to expect natural law/physics as we know it is going to be largely suspended or altered. This I think is why the visions/prophesy in Revelation are so very wild. They just nearest way present events that will otherwise be entirely foreign to any human experience to date.

But does it have a Yoda mode?

As if a rich man is ever Rich enough.

Like the guy who started Scientology said if you want to get rich start a religion.

there's already several of these. It's just a scam to make money off gullible Christians.

Controls the schools. So they control what is taught and they control the orthodoxy around it completely. This means that by doing this they can prevent any dissenting opinions especially about things like finance and law.

This is incidentally why Trump is constantly threatening schools. Every dictator goes after the intelligencia first and keeps them completely under control at all times. Because those people are smart enough to organize opposition against you.

What's frustrating is how few people can pick up on these extremely simple patterns used by dictators to control populations. Then again they've been using bigotry and homophobia against us for thousands of years in every single country on the planet and it always works.

This has already happened with KVM-over-IP devices. The device was perfectly usable until a hack for the old version of Java it used kept attacking it, and thus it had to be turned off.

And thus all the content out there that is running on perfectly acceptable hardware will now be lost media unless you visit it via archive.org

The chrome developers have done so much damage to the public web with the "Everything SSL" approach. Sites that work perfectly fine, especially in Japan, never bothered to upgrade to HTTPS.

Yeah you triggered. Also racist. Deeply deeply racist. There is nobody on Earth more racist than somebody who goes out of their way to tell you they are not racist. Four paragraphs you wrote to tell the world you're not racist. It would be a lot easier just did not be racist.

But you got that whole constantly collapsing social and economic status going on where you lose a little every year and every year it's a little bit more so it's not really like you losing a little anymore you losing a lot.

So somebody has to be the blame and it can't be Trump because he's God in the flesh so it must be those dastardly queers, drag queens and the evil evil brown people.

Honestly I would laugh at you if you didn't do so much fucking damage to the people around you and to your own country.

Trump unilaterally declared it but it does not have the force of law because he isn't yet king. If he gets another term then yeah he'll be king but it remains to be seen whether or not he will.

And my fucking god it's terrible.

The clipboard is slow. The mother fucking clipboard is slow.

I suspect what's going on is that Microsoft is monitoring my clipboard for some stupid AI bullshit. Whatever the case it's 2025 I have a 6-core CPU with 32 gigs of RAM and my clipboard is slow to respond. Periodically I get an error message in Excel because it was unable to complete a copy option into the clipboard.

Windows 11 is the most user hostile piece of software I have ever used in my entire life. As near as I can tell it exists so that Microsoft can monetize me further and so that it can train their AI to replace me at work. Also maybe some surveillance.

It's like a villain from a Franz Kafka novel decided to write an operating system

It's 2025. We've known for a couple of decades that Win32/Win64 and Windows and its main ecosystem only work because various hacks into the kernel to make it all run more smoothly. Even the video driver architecture basically has built in restarts when buffers blow up.

It's a shitty proprietary operating system which somehow, every time they try to clean it up, it gets worse under and on top of the hood. I stopped using Windows for my own personal devices four years ago, and will not go back. Ubuntu, Debian and MacOS offer cleaner UIs, and even if the software libraries are a bit smaller, at least I'm not a prisoner to endless ads.

Christ I had to set up a Win11 laptop yesterday, and between setting up the OS and Edge I had to turn down "offers" and additional tracking functionality around seven or eight times. Actually more, because then I set up a non-privileged user profile, and had to do it all again. And that was Win11 Pro. I can only imagine how much worse the Home editions are.

On the bright side, most Chinese people, including those in the governing party, believe in some form of reincarnation. If that exists, here's to hope all supporters of such practices may enjoy being reborn in their future-proof schizophrenic autistic sleep-deprived blood-clotting-prone monkey-dog chimeras as those scream in agony while wandering the ruins of now extinct humanity.

Close to 100% want it to stop changing. Different states have different opinions about which way.

Does it really, though? Where I am, it gets dark before I get home from work. Permanent DST seems like a big benefit from my POV, because those early morning hours are wasted indoors getting ready for work anyway, but evening hours can be used outdoors.

Pacific time will go away entirely in the U.S. All three states in that time zone adopted laws enacting permanent daylight saving time if Congress authorizes it.

And in general, if the time doesn't change, people can just choose the next zone to the right. No big deal.
