With what money? SpaceX is the only company with any kind of steady revenue to its name and that's only because the US government subsidised it

this is why we need ar-15s, for the 30 to 50 feral hog Bluetooth notifications

the last functional windows.

we do a bit of entrapment

I think a lot of new indie Devs, having little knowledge of the actual state of the industry, see a publisher offering them big money to make video games (their dream!) and ignore (or lack resources to properly interrogate) the fine print. There are countless examples of publishers simply destroying indie Devs on a whim like this.

I don't (never played Xbox til the end of its lifecycle) what did they do? 👀

Oh brilliant, in which case his snark about Trump doesn't make any sense because the cops would be racist on their own terms under either president.

I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of this guy to snark about police violence against rioters when he's outright encouraging the crackdown that is infinitely more peaceful.

Go back to reddit if you really want to live in the pretend world where Biden is a gentle, benevolent dictator just because you're not bothered about the people his admin is helping repress at home and abroad.

Police across the US have been killing people at a greater rate every year under his admin, so what exactly about Biden's glowing record on police violence is worth comparing to Trump? Not to mention he wants to hire another 100,000 more pigs.

You don't get to gloat about how much better you are with black people when you're no better than the guy characterising himself as some kind of American Mussolini.

The rest of you liberals can fuck off back to reddit too. You don't get to claim victory over a fascist that your golden dementia boy is no better than. Absolutely pathetic that you act morally superior to kids dying because he's on "your team"

EDIT:

Before you leave you "but trump!!" comment, consider reopening your Reddit account because this snark about Biden being better than Trump when they both get throbbing erections for brutalised kids won't get you nearly as far as it did on that astroturfed shithole.

The Biden government and cops would've crushed the riots with way more force if they'd been lead by black americans. Just look at how much more violent the cops are against students protesting peacefully compared to how they straight-up helped the trump supporters into the Capitol most of the way lmfao.

Not if you call it GNU/Linux 🤓☝️

These morons are insufferable because they don't believe anything exists outside the frame of the photo. they have worse object permanence to babies

amateur. I just manifest the correct IP address for my desired resource and fetch it with curl

I didn't say you have to know everything, just like I don't know everything in my house and how it works, but I do know how to do basic repairs so I don't pay loads of money for a guy to come and unclog a drain. I know how to reset my circuit breakers, how to change a fuse, how to change a lightbulb.

That's what the terminal is. No one here is telling you to write a bootloader in assembly or meticulously study kernel environment parameters. No one advocating for basic knowledge of a terminal likely has knowledge on subnet masks, compilers, or other low level systems that a modern Linux abstracts for you.

But! I know how to update my packages from a terminal. I know how to install a package outside of a repository, or one that's not listed on my graphical package manager. I know how to export an environment variable to get my software to work how it should.

That's what "knowing the terminal" gives you. It's a basic skill that unlocks you from being a mere "user" of a system to an owner of a system. I don't think everyone will ever need the terminal, but there are people who are replying to me that seem to have a genuine fear that people have knowledge of their computers in a meaningful way.

Knowledge is autonomy for whatever you do, and there's a reason why the most profitable of systems are the very systems that are locked down abstracted and "user friendly" in all ways that harm a user's rights and freedoms.

I don't think it's a theory rather than an objective fact. A lot of "traditional" computer skills have almost totally gone extinct because consumer devices are designed to hide as many system features from you as possible.

The saving grace is that even being raised without it, you end up needing these skills to become a developer of any decent calibre. That gives at least some route for these skills to transfer to new generations.

If you want to use Linux without the terminal nowadays it's pretty easy. But also I think the fear of the terminal is part of the culture that consumer electronics have cultivated where people don't know (or want to know) how their systems work.

If you take the time to use it, not only can you save yourself time, but also learn a lot more about how you can fix things when they go wrong! That kind of knowledge gives you so much more ownership of your system, because you don't have to rely on your manufacturer to solve problems for you.

Same for Mac and Windows too, the terminal is something that shouldn't be necessary, but when it is it helps to know what you're doing. :)

Captain Tom. A man of great intrigue and infamy after his family made him walk around a garden to raise money for something we already fund with our taxes, not long before his family whisked him off on holiday and likely exposed him to covid. Now his family spend their time embezzling money from the charity set up after his death

it was great personal effort for me to keep this saved on my phone for months after fetching this from an XL bully activist Facebook group

Anything for that minimum wage huh? Pathetic

I mean that's one of the MANY reasons shop staff are told not to interfere with shoplifters
