- Comment on EU disease agency considers quitting Elon Musk’s X over disinfo 1 week ago:
Why is anyone considering staying on X?

Well, buttflapper…
Capitalism filters sociopaths to the top. It’s a feature, not a bug. It has always been this way. Read about Henry Ford and JD Rockefeller, John Kellog. The list goes on.

That looks like a Stanzo. They’re nice.
- Comment on What will happen to large companies once poor people have no more money to use? 7 months ago:
I’ve seen a sudden upsurge of promoted videos in the last week or two championing trickle-down economics in my youtube suggested video feed. I thought it was odd. They don’t use the term trickle-down economics, but they promote the rich as job creators and use all the Reagan talking points. Based on the comments, lots of people are eating it up as amazing insight.
- Comment on Jon Stewart found to have overvalued his NYC home by 829% after slamming Trump’s civil case as ‘not victimless’ 8 months ago:
lolwut. prosecute for what?
- Comment on (Old article) Biden warns "bloodbath" as Sanders sharpens attacks ahead of key contests 8 months ago:
They both said the same word once. Context is irrelevant. Good catch. Keep digging. Maybe Biden also said some other words that Trump said in another context. You’re doing God’s work.
- Comment on The actual quote with context 8 months ago:
Thanks. Now that I know the context, nothing changes.
- Comment on VS Code Drops Ubuntu 18.04 Support, Devs 'Screwed' 9 months ago:
Not the point, though. This is classic Microsoft. It’s Lucy with the football telling Charlie Brown she won’t pull the ball away this time. They seduce the devs to their tools or protocols by “cooperating” and “openness” and then they subvert whatever they joined so the devs are stuck in their ecosystem. A lot of them get away, but a lot stay behind or try to make it work. Every time, they trap a bunch. Maybe the way an Eden’s Whale feeds is a better analogy. I’m sure there’s a perfect analogy somewhere. Maybe I just like coming up with analogies.

Omg. Microsoft fuxored OSS communities? I am in utter disbelief.

That apostrophe, tho.

Make me.
- Comment on Hellmann’s Mayo: Jar vs Bottle Showdown 1 year ago:
She says the squeeze bottle is repulsive, but the jar is good. Neither of these is Duke’s so, they are both repulsive. Is this some sort of trick?
- Comment on [TECHCRUNCH] Box announces Hubs, a custom portal to share specialized content 1 year ago:
This sounds a lot like some of the existing self-hosted local document search LLaMas.
- Comment on Would you work for a corporation that you oppose ideologically, if the pay is good? 1 year ago:
Not really. I have unavoidable financial obligations coming soon that I will need this payrate for. I actually love the work I do, too, but I have a distaste for the employer, so it’s a weird feeling. I get to play with Linux and containerization and Python, which I love, and I’m generally self-managed, so the only thing wrong with the job is that, at the end of the day, my work feels wasted where I’m doing it. On the other hand, I use the skills I gain at work outside of work on OSS stuff, so it’s an OK tradeoff.
- Comment on Would you work for a corporation that you oppose ideologically, if the pay is good? 1 year ago:
I do. I’m riding out the clock. I’ve already put the time in and am grandfathered into better retirement/severance benefits than I could get anywhere else. I hate it, but I have a family to feed.
