Working as designed and built slowly for decades. The goal was always to create a voter block that would consistently keep the right in power, no matter what.

Someone should write a poem to capture the point.

One could say he has been and more, given the state of things. Just a tariff/tax would be bad, but he’s hunting citizens.

At this point any pee-involving evidence is minor compared to the rest.

Now that children were hurt, officials will start to do someth… oh, right, forgot that Sandy Hook disproved that concept.

You’re not wrong…

…you know the rest.

It also means the OS is in total control of the things it’s running. This goes for running programs, shutting down, and crashing. The only crashes I have on my Linux are when I use up memory, and I’m still convinced that even though everything looks seized up, if I left it for hours or days it would probably end up resolving itself. I’ve had some cases where the OS saw the program wasn’t going in a good direction fast enough and killed it.

Wealth creator. In a monkey paw sort of way.

Blame Microsoft sure, but where this ignorance of LLMs’ faults keeps coming from is baffling. Either the CTO and CIO and the rest of the IT departments are idiots, or someone is grabbing their bonuses while they can before things break.

Good analogy by using cars. You can test drive a car. Since a lot (all?) distros have a way to run off a USB, so you can get the general “feel” of it. Then you can go from there. Or if you have room to work with, setting up dual boot isn’t that hard (outside of how Windows acts sometimes about it). Asking a lot of people what flavor ice cream they prefer isn’t going to help you decide your own.

This is good parenting. You can’t always be there to guide them or restrict them, nor should you want to be. You instead help them understand how to navigate the world themselves smartly. This is true for anything, not just what they see on the internet.

My C-64 still boots up instantly, just as it did on day one. Far faster than Windows could ever dream.

A smart man once said, “Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me.”

I guess when enough things are broken you do whatever it takes.

Maybe not. It takes a lot longer and greater resources to build something than to destroy it.

That’s his secret. He’s always angry.

You forgot consumerism and corporatism. It’s a bunch of things. Point is, there are ideologies everywhere and if it’s not religion-based, somehow atheism gets blamed. It was never the lack of a belief in a god that was the problem.

The State was the religion in the USSR. It didn’t like the competition from the Church.

I think that may be a shared thing among the different software, Mbin seems to give you a few minutes without labeling it.

Yes, since apparently you can turn to not hit them and still get shot. No win, might as well stack the odds in your favor.
