I am deep in the rabbit hole of looking into an apparently deeply scammy looking zsh plugin manager called "zi". I think it's an extremely bad idea to use "z-shell/zi" or anything else from the same ...

Oh dear! I just started using ZSH with Oh-my-zsh a few days ago and it seems I’m already abandoning it.

Tested in a Linux VM and it seemed really good.

But then red flags arose.

Moreover, Trump snubs Maria Corina Machado in a sign he’s still sour for not being awarded the coveted prize.

He has no idea who she is only that she’s a very nice woman.

Trump doesn’t deserve the Nobel peace prize.

HE JUST DOESN’T.

Anime and manga fans voted GOP because they thought democrats were censoring their content with woke politics.

Now, GOP wants to utterly ban anime and manga altogether. In all its forms.

You know, “elections have consequences”.

Enjoy what you voted for.

After nearly a decade of brexit vote, I think we can safely conclude it was a catastrophic mistake, both economically and socially.

Just look at the current state of affairs in the UK, and the way things have moved since that fateful referendum.

The only beneficiary? Putin, of course.

Ending the war in Gaza alone may not net Trump a Nobel peace prize. He still has to solve the war in Ukraine, which seems far more complicated since he can’t control Putin the way he does to Netanyahu.

Even so, Trump is too vitriolic and polarizing for a Nobel prize contender.

Trump and his republican allies keep claiming democrats wanted the government to shutdown.

Yet is Trump who is firing federal employees at breakneck speed.

Let that sink in.

On the contrary, he and his sycophants are complaining the Nobel peace committee placed politics over peace.

Talk about twisted narratives and misinformation.

Throughout its history, the Nobel peace prize has been awarded to people who have long struggled for peace and justice under the shadows, or icons who project union and harmony.

Trump does not embody any of those profiles worthy of the price.

Wow! Just wow!

Trump soured on his generals for not applauding him at Quantico.

His ignorance is only matched by his arrogance.

And that about not receiving a Nobel peace prize to be an insult to USA? He definitely has som sort of god complex.

Trump keeps claiming he ended seven wars and deserves the Nobel peace prize.

Those were not all-out wars, but growing conflicts with potential for war. Also, he quashed such conflicts by issuing tariffs threats, not by brokering best interests among the parties.

And they say we are deranged.

Nexstar and Sinclair are bringing back Jimmy Kimmel’s show.

Guess is just business.

Just as many right-wing influencers said when he was cancelled.
No censorship. Just business.

OMG! I just saw Nerdrotic’s video celebrating Kimmel’s cancellation.

I can only imagine the meltdown Gary experienced when he knew Kimmel was set to return.

Jimmy Kimmel didn’t have to apologize. He rose to the occasion like a real pro, addressing the struggle free speech is facing in the US.

I’ve just watched Jimmy Kimmel’s supposedly controversial monologue.

He never mocked Charlie Kirk assassination.

He called out Trump, like he usually does.

That made “orange man bad” cry. So he used his large megaphone to cancel Kimmel in a clear act of censorship.

I just watch their content and that’s it. I don’t leave a like, or a comment. I never subscribe. Hell, I don’t even login to Google/YouTube. I watch them with most JavaScript disabled, cookies purged and cross origin requests obfuscated or blocked altogether.

Phil Beta @philbeta.bsky.social · 25d

In all honesty, I enjoy content from creators like Overlord DVD and Critical Drinker because they raise fair and accurate criticism about pop culture nowadays.

It doesn’t mean I agree with their politics, because mostly I don’t.

I even watch Nerdrotic despite how toxic Gary can be.

They said it cost a lot of money.
They said it didn’t made any profit.
They said it had nothing to do with politics.

Right wing influencers rushed to post videos that didn’t age well. Just like their arguments. And they’re having a meltdown.

Jimmy Kimmel is back!

According to current United States government, if I say Charlie Kirk dead was ironic due to his speech of “a few deaths in order to protect the 2nd” the moment he was shot, the I’m a violent leftist.

'He has really let me down'
Said the idiot who invited Putin to a joint summit in his own country.

Why Trump keeps pushing the idea he can handle the conflict Russia started on Ukraine is beyond me.

He’s not getting a Nobel peace prize. Not this year at least.
