Gates in particular is a creepy fucking sexist asshole who abused his position at Microsoft to make passes at numerous women who were his subordinates, including Melinda Gates, whom he met about four months after she started working at Microsoft.
- Comment on Wifi networks and home automation systems are expected to last 50+ years. 4 days ago:
This is the truth. I have some really old equipment going way back,and it all still works. It’s just… nobody really wants a 10 megabit hub over a 1 gigabit switch.

We both know that this kind of nuanced take isn’t was Truss is aiming for, though. Otherwise she wouldn’t use the “free speech” canard.

Last I checked the UK has no guarantees of free speech.
- Comment on Jeffrey Sachs Goes Off, Roasts Donald Trump’s Trade Talk, Says 'Mickey Mouse Is Smarter Than Him' 5 days ago:
How can this happen when it makes no sense? And that people should understand were are in one-person rule in the United States. Our political system is in a state of collapse. What President Trump did is an emergency decree. Everything he does is an emergency decree. … Because he’s King. Those powers are not invested in the President of the United States, they’re invested in the Congress. … But the U.S. starting in 1945 after World War II became a military state to a large extent and so it sprinkled in it’s legislation emergency emergency emergency and Trump doesn’t have prove anything’s an emergency, he just has to say something’s an emergency. So suddenly the trade deficit became an emergency and on that basis he issues a one-person rule, even his aides don’t know what he is doing.
Cut out a few bits that were just him referencing evidence (denoted by … ). It’s so fucking important that he is calling out this as something that has been going on since the end of World War II. He is making clear that this is not just an indictment of Trump, but of our entire political system which has slowly ceded power to the Executive for going on 80 years now.
He deserved a standing fucking ovation for these statements and the silence after he speaks is deafening.
This is well worth the watch. Hell, you can even just put it on in the background and listen, you don’t really need to see him.
- Comment on It's not time for your point release yet. 5 days ago:
There’s definitely something to be said for stability. I use stable releases for all my server boxes.
Arch is fine for a gaming desktop or a desktop you don’t do actual, you know, work on.
But for work or servers you need stability.

What a horrific way to state such a thing, and basically, fuck Florida for this anyway.

No seriously, fuck Florida.

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle
Don’t grumble, give a whistle
And this’ll help things turn out for the best
AndAlways look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life - Comment on The perfect day! 5 days ago:
Everything that lives is designed to end. We are perpetually trapped in a never ending spiral of life and death. Is this a curse? Or some kind of punishment? I often think about the god who blessed us with this cryptic puzzle… and wonder if we’ll ever get the chance to kill him.

this one time, as a treat.
Thanks for this, at least it gave me a chuckle in these dark times.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 6 days ago:
Excel is the one thing LibreOffice still falls behind on. It’s really hard to compete with Excel, specifically.
- Comment on Unpopular popular opinion - fiat 6 days ago:
Well, if Trump manages to tank the dollar as a reserve currency and we experience hyperinflation (fairly likely at this point), you’ll have every opportunity to go back to a barter system.
Start growing a community garden today.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 6 days ago:
LibreOffice only really became better after Microsoft started pushing Office365 which made standard MS Office a lot worse. They were on par with each other until then.
The others 100% were always better.

You gotta be careful though, if you get inside the car too quickly, the smell will follow you.
She might wonder why you’re meandering outside the car too long.

If we are going by that metric clay tablets beat paper.
- Comment on Bluesky, censorship and country-based moderation 1 week ago:
The articles take is actually much more nuanced and neutral than that, but it still really amounts to the same thing.
Even if there are other options for viewing the limited content, those options are not widely used, and as such, the content block is generally effective.

I think tape storage has the best longevity in offline data storage, but it’s been a while since I checked.

If they don’t follow the law with their adds, why should they follow it with our data?
Oh we’re well past that point.

- Comment on Discord is verifying some users’ age with ID and facial scans 1 week ago:
Oh and that biometric data? The US government can just ask for any and all of it any time it wants to and Discorc has to legally give it up.
Do you really want to be handing this info to the Trump admin?
Get the fuck off Discord, now.
I don’t give one flying fuck how easy it is to use, they’re betraying you with every word you type into it. They keep all that data, and thus all that data is up for grabs by the US government because it’s a US company.
This is fascism we’re dealing with here. You can piss and moan about “user interface” and “it’s hard to understand Matrix” when you don’t live under fascist authoritarianism you fucking fools.
