I just want to hear what Nazis he was talking to and what he said. I have to be back up in 5.5 hrs so I’ll try to remember to search for it. I just thought maybe you could point me in the right direction.
- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 1 day ago:
Old nonprofit, old files, continuously maintained for about 30 years now. Tiny staff, not many resources to work on migrating the files. It’s just not a missional priority.

I’ve never used 365. I use a 2019 purchased version. I refuse to pay subscriptions. But my job has a lot of graphics that were created and are still updated in publisher. I’m sure I can find an alternative, but recreating hundreds of files will be terrible, and it will likely all fall on me. And that’s only like 5% of my job.

Microsoft Access and Publisher, the Adobe suite, VR. That’s just the tip of the iceberg of why I can’t completely abandon Windows, yet. I do have a handful of older PCs running Mint though, and I’ll be switching over more. But not all of them.

Finally, an actual shitpost.

I’m not sure, this might even be an intentional strategy. This idea is relatively popular. It loses some and gains others.

No dongle, and I don’t always carry my phone. I get nonstop work calls, sometimes I turn it off and leave it.
- Comment on Airlines Are Selling Your Data to ICE 2 days ago:
True but I don’t like having my phone on me when I don’t want to be reachable. Sometimes it’s turned off at home.
- Comment on Airlines Are Selling Your Data to ICE 3 days ago:
I drive everywhere. Yeah, I know, fuck cars. But honestly they’re tracking everyone’s movement. Have you noticed all of the intersection cameras that have popped up everywhere? Fuck the authoritarian surveillance state.

You would not welcome most of those people anyway.

Gen x my weed was brown from a brick and mostly seeds and stems.

I have! I’d have to buy three of them though just to cook a small breakfast for the people sleeping in my house tonight. I’m usually making breakfast for six.

I’ve already had a vasectomy. You don’t have to cut them all the way off.

I’ve never seen a pack smaller than 2x3. I buy at least two dozen a week.

Nice story bro.
- Comment on Tesla Board Opened Search for a CEO to Succeed Elon Musk 1 week ago:
Spoiler, assholes own everything. Good luck finding products that don’t make people you hate richer. Yeah you can find small niche products like beard wax from a local guy, but a car? Please tell me about a great car company.
- Comment on Tesla Board Opened Search for a CEO to Succeed Elon Musk 1 week ago:
This should have happened awhile ago. Lots of good people work at Tesla and I’d like to be able to buy an American made electric without worrying about vandalism or worse. Yeah there a couple of other options but this should be one too.
- Comment on Oblivion remake is... really making it apparent how outdated Bethesda is in its approach to making games 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I’ll definitely buy it, but I’m a patient gamer. It needs to be really cheap on a steam sale. I’ve played the original. I can wait.
- Comment on Choose a number, 1-5! 2 weeks ago:
I hate all of them but many people seem to like number two, but that is decisively the worst. I literally just bought twelve forks from a discontinued line because I had a few of them and they are the best forks ever. There are few things better than a great fork.

Spring is very unpredictable in many places. Could be freezing, could be hot. Could have terrible damaging storms. Maybe all three in the same day. I’d go with October 2nd.

I was okay with keyword results. If you knew what you were dealing with in the search engine, you could usually find what you were looking for.

It been a downhill slope that just keeps getting steeper. They’re basically falling off a cliff right now, and their parachute is improving AI.

Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.
It’s one of the reasons why I like edibles.

I don’t care about honking. I’ve seen two people on a bike near me in almost two decades and I’ve seen a dozen bikes staged on the roadside as memorials to people who have died. I’m not worried about honking, I’m worried about dying.

Yeah, I get paid 1/10th of that and I could do a lot better - and I used to - but I work for a nonprofit I care about. Greed is a hell of a drug.

The author should have quit long ago. Many employees are complicit.

I have lived in Europe and I know that can be a viable option for many people. But there are many places in the US where there are no real alternatives to a car. I have lived in my house for 18 years, bought at the beginning of 2007 before the market bubble popped and haven’t been able to afford to move since then. In 18 years I have seen exactly two people riding a bike near my home and I sometimes wonder if they’re still alive.
