If you look at wealth distribution, it becomes very obvious that the top can always pay more.

Would anyone accept the money if the purpose was so obviously to expose corruption?

If you avoid complications like trying to dual boot or to use weird distros, it shouldn’t be hard.

In some languages they count as diacritics, while in others they are separate letters.
For example, in Finnish, å, ä, and ö are independent letters. The dots don’t do anything special, just like in i.
- Comment on 2 days ago:
Dunno, is it considered a separate letter?

wdym, how does a block you sit on become non-functional?
- Comment on RIP Mac Pro, I guess. 4 days ago:
I’d consider it if they just sold it as an atx case. But then again, I probably couldn’t afford it because just the wheels accessory is $700.
- Comment on RIP Mac Pro, I guess. 4 days ago:
Well this was very obviously coming. The last iteration was pointless and from that they didn’t bother to even refresh it in all these years, I assume it sold fuck all.

This post reminded of this Wikipedia article someone shared here a bit ago. If you don’t pay attention, everything becomes the same.

Just birds chirping, wind blowing, leaves rustling
To me that sounds kinda nice instead of unpleasant

There are tons of people who are fine not profiting from their cottage industry projects, but it’s not expected that someone wants to lose money on them.
- Comment on It's 2025, And We're Getting A Brand New 8-Bit Game Console 1 week ago:
I can’t tell if the problem is that you think it’s false advertising, or if you think selling a custom 6502 console to someone who wants one is some kind of sin and morally bad.

Grifters. 🖕🏼

It’s a follow up to series, in that context I think the title is fine.
Why 40 minutes of video?
These tend to go through rabbit holes in detail.
And I don’t fear to miss out on essential dishwasher pod info.
Spending a minute reading a tl;dr might just get you cleaner dishes while saving money.
