I think of it more as a budding fascist dictator vs a senile moron. Which is why I’m extremely worried that the former wins. At least with the senile moron, the rest of the senate and staff can sort of hamper on reasonably without irrepairably dismantling democracy. This is a 1930s Germany type of situation.

You say that as if it was easy, and as if it doesn’t come back again a few Windows updates down the road.

Others said their local offices had closed since the pandemic

This part is wild. So they closed down the office and then punish the employees for not coming into the office. Tell me this is illegal.

I agree his answer sucks, but perhaps the fault still lies with the distribution developers (who should know better), not the authors of systemd. In that context I can understand the resentment expressed by the dev. It’s not directed toward the end user but toward the distro developers, who have implemented systemd in a broken and dangerous way.

I misread the title as “Fire men convicted of massive, illegal streaming service” and was wondering if they were broadcasting fires

The elephant is hiding. Do not let it know you can see it. The illusion that it has found a good hiding spot must be maintained at all times.

I’m just tired of the trend of saying things are underrated, when they’re really not. The Big Short is a great movie and it is rated as a great movie. So it’s not underrated or overrated; it has a great rating and deservedly so.

It’s such a rated movie.

Also it’s only a conspiracy if there’s intentional disregard for the best interests of people whom you are intentionally hiding information from. Where I live they were pumping out hormones into the river all the way back into the 60s, screwing up fish life. But it’s because they were ignorant and dumb. This is from the same time when the government had a campaign for people to weigh down garbage with rocks before throwing it in the sea, because it’s unsightly when it floats.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

When you buy something you should be able to pass it on or sell it to someone else. This “the software not sold, only licensed” BS should be illegal. Either you rent with a monthly fee, or you buy it and own it. Owning something means you can sell it to someone else.

But because it’s all opinion, it gives me nothing except “some guy on the the internet has an opinion”. I can’t do anything with it, especially not form an opinion of my own. It’s just a waste of my time. Mind you, I already am of the opinion that Tesla is going to shit but I found very little in this article to substantiate that opinion should I need to argue for it myself, and the headline is just a plain out lie that that has no basis in the body text. It’s poorly written at best, and intentionally misleading at worst.

For people who are as confused as I was

They had so many great innovations over the years, the problem is they kill them off because they somehow can’t figure out how to monetize stuff that people want. It’s like if they can’t get the money from a third party, they’re out of ideas. I would have paid a monthly fee for Google Reader (not much, mind you, but I bet $1/month would have been enough to keep it running). I am now paying for Kagi because I prefer to be the customer and not the product.
