Another classic from NatPo!

While we are ashamed of our cultural traditions, retailers are certainly not ashamed of milking cash from the desiccated corpse of Santa Claus. And so, by being cynical of a traditional Christmas, we have fashioned Christmas into something we should indeed feel cynical about.

NatPo came so close to making a progressive statement, but held back at the last second and blamed regular people instead.

Perhaps we can sneak it back onto the calendar

I wonder who doesn't know when the stat holiday for Christmas is. No need to put it back on the calendar when it's still there...

Throughout the whole article there are only anecdotal reasons why it should be restored. So many of them boil down to "it used to be like this so it should still be like this" too, which is just a silly argument. Maybe come up with some good reasons for it to stay by using a bit of critical thinking, NatPo.

The article could've been a nice little nostalgia trip too, but instead it finished off by saying all of the far-right talking points as though they had some relevance to the rest of the article.

Honestly, I try not to think about them. It's an inherently selfish and self-serving class and they've got enough money to pay people to think about them, so I'm not going to do it for free.

If you (or anyone else) has any suggestions for emulators/tools to mirror, send them my way. I already have a few on my Forgejo server https://git.ngni.us/mirrors

You'd think with a name like conservatives, they would be all for conserving the environment...

It's a bit relevant... at least the fact that Teslas are electric cars. The car caught fire while people were inside, which was likely made worse by the battery. It's not a big leap to make from reading the headline, since batteries are infamous for catching fire

Just FYI forgejo does have federation, but it's disabled by default. No idea how good/stable/complete it is... https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/admin/config-cheat-sheet/#federation-federation

It'll be interesting to see how the launch goes. Maybe Decky itself will get onto the Steam store one day...

All browsers on iOS are basically reskinned versions of Safari since they all have to use WebKit

They're mostly breaking the GUI of game mode, which causes it to restart the game mode GUI. The underlying OS isn't really affected -- you should be able to SSH into an affected system or force boot into desktop mode.

Seems like they're keeping the link up to date on their telegram https://t.me/s/SiegedSecurity

I think it was more a comment along the lines of "we tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"
