- Comment on Ice cream machine is also broken 3 weeks ago:
I’m getting tired of people putting survival over standing up to the system.
That’s a pretty privileged position to take. "Hey you, poor person, you should die so I have the opportunity to benefit from the system changing. Is that any different from what CEO was doing?
Does a McDonalds worker lose anything by not turning the guy in?
Yes, $50k.
I’m not trying to justify it. I’m just pointing out that a year and a half salary is a pretty strong incentive. That is the opportunity to quit your job and not worry about money for a couple of months while you look for a better job. Whether you work at McDicks or Xitter, I understand the appeal of that. And I think a lot of people at least consider that.
Maybe after a certain point even those trying to survive should share the blame for the negativity their contributions bring.
This transaction feels like a bribe to keep the poors in check.
I mean, yeah. That’s the whole point. But I still don’t blame the individuals that are also victims of the system.

$50k of a reward. Probably over 1.5 years of salary.
- Comment on Wubuntu: The lovechild of Windows and Linux nobody asked for 4 weeks ago:
Just use KDE?
It is just KDE though. Its just a plasma skin. But what you get by installing Wubuntu instead of a proper distro, and then applying a skin, is supporting a developer with a history of bad security practices and poor behavior. Not to mention the potential copyright issues. This whole project will probably die when Microsoft realises that someone is using their name and trademarks to sell a competing project.

To be fair, they changed it in the last couple of years. It used to be that you held the power button to power it off. Now you have to hold the power button AND a volume button for some reason.

Ice is a mineral. So molten ice, i.e. water, is lava. Humans are mostly made of water, much more than they are made of DNA. So you are more molten rock than you are genetic material. And people are some sort of water golem.

What would be weirder is an app counting down how much time you have left.

Brine is the exact condition that life needs/thrives in. “About as salty as the ocean” is really good at supporting microbial growth. Source

You reuse pasta water? That’s kind of gross. Starchy water sitting around is a breading ground for bacteria. Don’t do that.
Also, dishwashers don’t clean with salt water. They use the salt to reset their internal water softener.

Now you need a bigger feeder to keep your automatic feeder feeder topped up.
- Comment on Debian Linux is Joining The RISC-V Bandwagon 1 year ago:
Does this mean Linux phones might finally be on the horizon? I know Pine64 has existed for a couple of years, but the software is still not in a useable state.
