  Ironically ads exist almost exclusively to raise prices.

  Anyone can buy corn, but to purchase premium corn you need to have the value communicated too you. Maybe the corn comes from a riverbank somewhere, maybe it’s been infused with peppercorns.

  But to charge more for that corn you need to convince people to spend more on it. The more “reasons” you have to buy it ie. Peppercorns. The more you can charge

  To be fair that’s the gayest looking dog Ive ever seen

  I think I might start referring to deer as gay dogs from now on

  There really has not been a better time than the late 90s to launch a new better search engine and supplant google

  I got real self righteous there for a second, but i see they included the wrong pronunciation as well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump says he plans to put a 100% tariff on computer chips, likely pushing up cost of electronics⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I watched part of this announcement and he said something I normally don’t pick up on

  “If they have started to build or have plans to build they don’t have to pay the tariff.”

  Sounds like.jobs.

  But what I heard was it was a discount for the oligarchy. Why do you only get a discount if you are in the position to at least pretend to be building a factory?

  And then since prices are now double, you get to import and sell at an easy profit.

  Hard agree. My takeaway is the moral of the story is always do quality engineering. There have been like 10 movies and they still don’t know how to construct an enclosure.

  In the end I popped up the terminal and used some pot command with some flag I can’t remember to skip the login step on setup.

  I reckon there is good chance you aren’t using windows 11 home though right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry answered it elsewhere, yep windows 11.

  The forced update took forever and failed and then it also fucked out with the Microsoft account. It was legit 2 hours from boot to seeing a desktop. I wanted to skip the updates and the Microsoft account.

  The start menu is full of ads for software I don’t want. If I buy software off you, stop trying to upsell me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, sure. But I don’t run a shop anymore and just picked up an off the shelf machine from a retailer.

  Turned it on, connected it to wifi, then it took forever to try and update itself, which failed, required another reboot, then made me sign in, which also failed, needed a reboot

  I dont want a fucking ms account, I don’t want to wait for every update, just ask my name and take me to the desktop

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been a full time dev since 2012 and needed a Mac, I had barely used windows over that time but beforehand ran a PC service business.

  Anyway, Ive been using Linux as a daily driver for the past 6 months for reasons.

  … The other day I got a new cheap laptop I needed to setup for run a single application.

  Holy fuck what a shitshow.

  It took me 2 hours just to get to the desktop. Shit didn’t work, bullshit login screens, ads everywhere.

  It was a massive pile of dog shit.

  After battling to get the system setup for the rest of the day I gave up, chucked Fedora Kinoite On it… Took 30 minutes from creating boot media to getting a desktop going, chucked the app I needed to run in a Flatpack, chucked it on a USB, and it was up and running.

  No bullshit.

  Just works.

  Truly the year of the Linux desktop.

  Bullshit. Lasers have been intended to gain interplanetary superiority since the dawn of time. We just didnt know they could also be used to read music from a circle
