Huh, so we’re all worried about foreign interference from Russia and friends, but the US just does it over the table? Really???

The risks the CEO takes we simple people will never understand or be brave enough for.

The only reason I have a windows laptop at home is because my employer forces me to. It’s true that Adobe and MS stuff doesn’t run or runs bad, same with some specific live service games. Personally I hate all of those and am more than happy to avoid em like the plague outside of work hours. They’re horrible inadequate tools and horrible predatory games. Everything I actually wanted personally, has so far run just fine for years.

Edit: Remembered one specific thing that does really suck on Linux, and that’s music production. That area is absolutely cluttered with proprietary shit. Even switching between windows and macos is a pain as many of the tools are just not compatible.

When I play simulations games like dwarf fortress I often feel like the characters are too riddled with irrational fears and reactions, just society crippling shit. And then I read stuff like this and realize it’s not as absurd.

Not earing the turnip?

Capitalism is self defeating on so many levers it hurts. Too bad it has to take society with it. Or rather too bad Americans let it run unopposed.

An all out attack on thousands of people’s lively hoods without warning, how will they ever get out of thi…oh wait, it’s America, right, they’ll not only not face punishment, they might even get a pat on the back.

Honestly, if these trucks weren’t bigger while hauling less than my mom with her old clio and trailer, I might be ok with calling em SUVs. These weird pickups are an insult to all other cars.

I always have to laugh when I see a pickup with a trailer. The empty bed is always a nice extra touch. Like imagine paying an absolute shit ton on an expensive ass truck that eats gass like there’s no tomorrow, just to end up using a trailer anyways!

America is a cult of suffering. If you aren’t suffering you’re either freeloading or not working enough. Everyone is responsible for them selves, and so “paying for someone else’s healthcare” is an absolute no go.

I fucking hate dodging cyclists, especially when visiting my mom in the country side, single lanes, poor visibility, god forbid it’s summer and everyone’s out fucking cycling. You know where I never had to go around a cyclist? Literally any Dutch city I visited, because bikes lanes are almost completely separate. Driving in the Netherlands is fucking great. Despite the bike infrastructure, drivers aren’t at all compromised. Just look at their highways, shit looks like a copy paste of American highways.

This is what you people sound to me like ever since my trip in the Netherlands:

Man, if only they had like a place to fuck off to, so they don’t have to be on the road… Maybe like an area completely off the street? COUGHS IN DUTCH

The nice thing is, you can pretty easily run both and switch around. Just get a distro with one, and then it’s usually just 1 or 2 commands to get the other as a choice on the login screen. KDE and Gnome apps are also largely compatible, regardless of desktop environment.

I’ve been using KDE mostly, it’s just nice being able to customize it so easily without too much technical knowledge of the environment or hoping someone already made an extension for it like on Gnome. Then again, some may like the simplicity of shopping around for extensions and calling it a day, or later even editing the extensions.

Recently, for my tiny laptop I switched to gnome, it’s also just pretty :)

Wait, how the fuck are only Central Europe, Finland and Estonia in support of encryption. What the actual fuck people?

Ok, so fucking as many women as possible in a short amount of time, literally the gayest thing one can do. Understood.

That’s the strongest incel cope I’ve ever heard, god damn…

Also find it funny that MAGA and similar seem to be the most confused about gender, despite claiming it to be quite clear, only 2. But like, does fucking around make your wife a man or you a woman? Also since we’re swapping genders on the fly, does MAGA now support trans people??? XDDD

The realization that most of my family, given the rise of fascism, would be fascist enablers. Same with like 90% of the people at work.

I love that when these people make such analogies and fail miserably, never do they take it as a moment for reflection.

I started programing at such a young age that I don’t even remember how it went. Makes it difficult to teach as I find it hard to relate to newbies. I’m quite used to just learning my self and sometimes hitting roads that lead to nowhere. In the past that I actually remember, I’ve only been learning new paradigms, deepening my understanding of low level stuff and mastering my art. Hardly stuff I can give along to a newbie.

They actually do generate enough revenue in a year. Ignoring business expenses ofc. That would be the 15b figure below. Elon is quite literally asking for an amount that would be comparable to liquidating all of tesla, selling off every scrap.
