Moving towards becoming a shit company, you mean.

Ok, that is a bass rumble and a half. Gonna have to try it on real speakers.

This sounds like gender affirming care to me. Is there somewhere we can report it?

That’s a good thing, is it?

I prefer this version, but I enjoy a good bass rumble.

my hat is barely big enough to make this post.

Pakled.

Gambet, part 2, I believe.

That scene is wonderful, and gave me entirely unrealistic expectations for my workplace.

At risk of being political, I think that’s called “being a Democrat.”

I really hate it when people I agree with use such terrible flawed arguments to support my ideals.

Empty words should never be considered as a start.

No policy in the world will stop minors from using the app. I can’t tell you how many “I am 18+” dialogues I clicked on when I was younger. You want access restrictions.

Do you want to scan your id every time you open the discord app?

If this isn’t 3AM, then nothing is.

I can’t imagine anyone sane wanting this. There are some innovations that I can see people wanting to roll back, but not this one.

Unless you own a coal mine, or are owned by someone who owns a coal mine, this is stupidity from any angle.

Agreed. With the added bonus that we have too live in the system while we burn it down. I’m not a huge fan of the idea, but then, I’m a maintainer by nature.

I have nifty tech, yes, but I also have vaccination deniers, Nazis, and my fourth “once in a lifetime” economic crises. I’m never going to buy a house. I’m never going to retire. I’ll probably never even pay off my student loans.

I personally think that, largely speaking, if imports are cheaper than local production, that’s a good thing!

I’m hardly an economist, right? But I agree with you, broadly speaking. But first covid, and now Trump round two is showing is the weakness of global integration. As long as everything goes smoothly, it’s jam for everyone. But let something screw up the logistics, or someone duck up the balance of trade, and everything can go to shit really fast. There are lots of things we can’t make here, but we rely on them. That is less than ideal.

I don’t know that tariffs are the way to address that issue, or even if it needs to be addressed at all. O do know that the way Trump is doing it is all wrong.

I’d go with “deshittification,” myself. It’s not important how or why they are shit, just that they are, and the laws in question prevent us from fixing it.

The airport tried that shit on me today. I was able to make it print me a boarding pass, though.

I’m becoming a luddite in my middle age.

I think that’s a feature, not a bug.

I thought the whole point of Linux was that there was one for everyone? A computer itself is an incredible potent tool, but most people just want to use Facebook and YouTube.

How’s that working for you? I’ve got a surface, and I like it, but I know that Windows is not exactly an efficient piece of software.
