Unironically true.
If you tell a homeless person that they are not allowed to ride busses it is not the same as telling Jeff Bezos that he cannot ride busses.

My wife got a Fairphone 3 and it was really slow She gave up and bought a used Samsung. I took he old Fairphone and it turns out she just had a really slow SD card, which I discovered by removing it so she could take her pictures with it. After getting rid of that it was fine…

No, the Graphene developers insist on hardware functionality that is not present on the Fairphone.

Totally depends on where you lived. My parents bought a house in 1983 or so for like $250k because it was northern Virginia.

The company I worked for (late stage startup) was bought by a giant mega corp, which has an office nearby. Literally my first month there and they announced a return to office policy.

“quick” like within a couple of days? I think we were all watching tanks roll towards Kiev and amazed that Russia didn’t have air superiority yet.

Proper accounting would consider the costs of retraining against the existing vendor. After all, that’s vendor lock-in, which your vendor will use to raise prices…

That sounds kind of good, really. Of course, more profits are always better, but breaking even is awesome.

Thanks for the offer! But I’ve been running Linux only since 2002 or so, currently with Arch on my laptop, because I’m not yet brave enough to try Nyx. 😄

I just installed Linux Mint on my dad’s old laptop. He asked me to do it!
I checked and it could run Windows 11 with a RAM upgrade. But he wasn’t interested in that.
He was surprised at all of the software installed by default. And mostly just uses the browser to read his Outlook mail…

Yeah, they caught the Dread Pirate Roberts because he leaked some account name, IIRC. There is no such thing as perfect opsec. 😬

The only time that I experienced genuine dislike for my nationality was when I told a Serbian person at a training that I was giving that I’m American. I think that feelings run deeper when your home has been bombed or invaded or similar by another country.
My father in law has no time for Germans, which I kind of get since he is a Dutch Jew and half of his family was killed during the German occupation of the Netherlands.

I find this trend to disregard every action as “not enough to matter” to be tiring.
Unless such a reply contains specific actions to take in place of what is reported, then I basically consider them propaganda for the existing powers to encourage further inaction.

I remember when cans used to have tabs that tore off. These were changed to the current model, where the tab stays attached after the can is opened.
People complained that they couldn’t drink properly with the new tab design. I guess they either figured it out, died, started using a glass, or gave up drinks in cans completely, since I haven’t heard this complaint in decades.
Anyway, I hope you figure it out, comrade! Good luck!

I know it’s asking a lot, but you could give an example instead of insulting me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Comment on We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 8 months ago:
I can’t think of any examples. Taking over the company requires capital, which is the one thing that capitalists constantly extract from workers so they don’t have any.
The workers of xs4all tried when their new corporate owners, KPN, decided to dissolve them. But a combination of lack of funding and unfriendly courts prevented that. They did end up starting a new company though…
