You know that Carlin joke people like to reference that says to imagine how dumb the average person is and that half the people are dumber? Well apply that again and take the bottom half of the bottom half. Then sprinkle some of our anti-intellectual, anti-science, anti-education, proud avarice and ignorance culture on top.

That’s nonsense but it somehow makes total sense to my American brain as well.

Agreed on the “revelations” thing. Once that tidbit sticks in your memory you just see people using it incorrectly everywhere.

Maybe it’s a Baader-Meinhof effect thing, but I think it’s genuinely a very common mistake that’s very easy to make.

Same with daylight saving(s) time. I hear other detail-oriented people add that S all the time.

Are you thinking of Kristen Schaal?

and the Jesus comes back

Everybody please remember that you do not fuck with the Jesus.

Rotting in prison to own the libs

Searching article for the word terrorism… Nope, even just “terr” only points me to “interrupted.”

Funny how they missed that. “Terrorism” around teslas is such popular news these days!

When does assassination become an acceptable political strategy?

According to the Supreme Court, it was a presidential option back while Biden was still in office.

Automate their burnination and you get a satisfactory!

If she really watched it, she would have seen him turn around and do another Nazi salute to the crowd behind him.

My company is your standard Dell + M365 outfit, but we on the dev team can install linux because our product is an embedded linux system. It is so damn nice.

It is so tempting to wipe my Windows partition and add that space to my home directory. It just feels like there must be SOME reason they wouldn’t want me to. I don’t ever actually use it. I will occasionally fire up a windows VM to check the windows version of one of our build artifacts.

That was the false sense of superiority choice, not the end genocide choice.

You have to consider the choices’ actual effects on the world.

“well ill switch when that extra 0.000001% works”.

I am well past the point in my personal life where if it doesn’t work on Linux, or in many cases isn’t FOSS itself, it just doesn’t exist to me. I can be motivated to learn new programs when it feels like there’s a good purpose behind it.

I’m in my 40s so maybe it’s combination of “I’m too old for Windows’ shit” and “I’m not too old to learn a few new tricks.”

The fact is when Windows users come to Linux they dont want Linux, they want Windows but not made by Microsoft and the fact is Linux is not that.

Linux Mint Cinnamon may not be that, but it is very close.

My parents mentioned the windows end of life message to me a few weeks ago, and I think I’m going to try mint for them. As far as I know they basically need a file explorer to copy photos from SD cards, and of course a web browser.

You’d hear a distinct repetitive buzzing sound in the speakers right before the phone rang.
