Youthful rebellion transcends technology.

Is there much difference between this and, say, using a pen to drill a hole in your desk?

He ain’t leaving unless it’s in a casket.

I’m absolutely convinced that there’s a certain threshold of money/power/privilege that just destroys a person’s humanity.

The weird journey this movie has taken makes me more interested in seeing it than I ever would have otherwise been.

I mean, I’m still probably not going to go out and see it, but if this is all some kind of strange viral marketing, then it’s working.

I’m practically tech illiterate, but managed to switch myself over to Linux after watching some guides a few years ago.

He’s the 1st one I used: https://youtu.be/4mySqL4bCSw

I have to wonder what the October end of life for Windows 10 will bring in that regard.

Computers are expensive. Some people will buy something new, others won’t be able. That crowd has 2 options of finding a new OS or using one that’s no longer supported.

We have to remember that the people making these decisions have no idea what life is like for a poor person. The kinds of payments that would ruin my life and yours are nothing to them.

So, they think we have the ability to afford these payments because they’re damned fools. They don’t expect mass defaults.

I think they’re wrong about that.

It does, however, make me think “Hell yeah, brother” every time I see the art, which is ideal for painting on a van.

Hey. Thank you for sharing this.

Websites like this are the good part of the internet.

Fun fact, the origin story for Satan that so many churches point to just isn’t in the Bible.

He puts on an acting master class throughout.

The scene where he weeps over his son’s grave is straight up heartbreaking.

Individuals can do that, and they should if they feel like keeping MS.

Organizations are, unfortunately, probably going to remain stagnant and keep paying millions to for things that have free alternatives.

It’s actually really infuriating. When I was in grad school I filed an information request with the college to see how much they paid for access to Office 365 each year. This was in 2021 and they were paying 4 million a year. Meanwhile their grad student employees were all living deeply below the poverty line.

Individual users can make use of free alternatives pretty easily, but I’m not sure they’re actually the target for the price increase here.

Schools, governments, businesses, and other institutions pay wild amounts to MS every year.

I’m honestly just deeply interested in this guy every time I hear about him.

Not because I think he’s smart, on to something, or at all worthwhile though.

It’s just…. Kind of morbidly entertaining to watch a man spend so much time and money to deal with an obvious and incredible fear of death.

He’s going to die some day, and probably from one of these things he’s paying for to avoid dying. It’s Qin Shi Huang shit.

And, ya know what? There are some truly wonderful and interesting works of philosophy dealing with his exact problem, but our boy is too much of a tech bro to even consider that someone may have found a way to deal with the fear of death a few thousand years ago.

So, fuck it, burn that cash bud.

This is just Socrates.

The older I get, the more I feel like Chief O’Brien.

In, like, every way.

Somewhere, the one remaining user of Temple OS just woke up in a cold sweat.

I’ve been using Mint and Pop!_OS on two different machines for a few years.

Neither has really required much from me as the user, although I have needed to use the terminal once on each of them.

Personally, I really like the way Pop does window tiling and workspaces.
