Like some of us have been saying for years, its the WEF. All of the left wing "progressive" governments around the world are just pushing their agenda.

These "activists" deserve to be arrested and go to jail.

“No one has the right to threaten, intimidate, and coerce public officials, law enforcement officers, community institutions, or their families,” Runyan wrote. “In the dead of night, masked and hooded defendants allegedly threw noxious chemicals through the windows of families’ homes and taped demand letters to their front doors. At every step they attempted to cover their tracks and delete evidence of their crimes.”

They threw ACID through peoples windows.

Just be aware that this can and very likely will backfire, and you'll lose standing and opportunities in the company. If you're ok with that because you don't want to put in a few extra hours here and there to help out, go for gold, clock off at 40 hours and say don't contact me. You just won't get contacted about any promotions, raises, or important decisions.

You've got a few options:

  • try and do the job to the best of your abilities, learning as you go, while making yourself invaluable to the company and then making sure you use that to your advantage to get promotions and wage increases.

  • say it's not what you were hired to do and leave or get fired for not doing the job, then go try find another job.

That's pretty much it. Unfortunately, jobs are very rarely what they were advertised as, generally being expected to do a lot more than you were told. You won't get anywhere by saying "not my job" or "I wasn't hired to do that". You either do it, or someone else will while you go back to unemployment.

I just added that to my watchlist. Guess I'll remove it.

The fediverse isn't growing though. Reddit is.

Will I wake up one day to see everyone using Linux.

No, and anyone saying yes has no idea what they're talking about. If "the year of linux" is ever actually going to be a thing, it will be a very, very slow and long "year".

Yet it’s a net positive for the network since Colbert lost them a shitload of money:

"With this 'time buy' model, we have shifted an hour that was losing roughly $40 million annually to $15 million in profit — a $55 million swing."

Not the article only compares the viewership numbers from the end of Colberts run too, where more people tuned in since it was ending, not before its cancellation was announced.

That literally all they have been for the last 10 years - democrat propaganda factories.

 

“Records continue to be smashed with this government’s promise to cut migration in absolute tatters, as half a million would-be migrants arrived on a net basis over the twelve months to January – the highest in recorded history,” said Dr Kevin You, Senior Fellow at the Institute of Public Affairs.

Today, the Australian Bureau of Statistics updated its Overseas Arrivals and Departures database, with the reference period January 2026. IPA analysis of the data shows:

  • Net permanent and long-term arrivals (i.e., people who have arrived in Australia with a declared intention to stay in the country for 12 months or longer) in January 2026 were 57,270, the highest January net arrivals on record.
  • Net permanent and long-term arrivals totalled 494,540 in the twelve months to January 2026, the highest in recorded history.
 

This is my first time using ArkOS - are there any settings changes that people always make first when setting up a device with it? What GUI do you like? Can you download different ones?

I've recently moved from using my PC to emulate retro games to a R36S (game boy style but with 2 analogue sticks as well) handheld and have fallen in love with having them in a portable device.

I'm looking at purchasing a bigger and much newer and more powerful device so was looking for advice on things like what the pros and cons of some popular devices are, what OS people prefer, what emulators people use, etc. My R36S is running ArkOS which is ok.

I'm thinking a clamshell device would be nice, but a Switch-style would be fine as long as the controls aren't too snug. As close to "full size" analogue sticks would be ideal too, I hate and can't get used to tiny ones like on this R36S or sliders like on the 3DS.

Don't really have a set budget. Would like to be able to emulate up to and including Wii U via Dolphin if possible, but I know that's pushing it. PS2 or DC level would be acceptable too. Alternatively a really good "up to and including PS1" device would be an option.

Some that I've seen that look good:

  • Retroid Flip 2

  • Anbernic RG556 (I think the 557 isn't getting very good reviews)

  • Retroid Pocket 5

  • Anbernic RG Arc (because the Megadrive 6 button controller is the GOAT of the 8/16 bit generations.

  • Anbernic RG CubeXX
