See, Iran, this is the problem. Israel doesn't have the grounds to wage a war, but when you kill those that disagree with you, it's really hard for anyone to desire helping you

It all becomes Crab

Heh.

November 6th, 2024 c/nottheonion "Puerto Rico decides election, most polls say Trump's blatant racism was a final straw."

Talibangelicalots?

Yup.

I don't know why. The people marketing it have absolutely no understanding of what they're selling.

Best part is that I get paid if it works as they expect it to and I get paid if I have to decommission or replace it. I'm not the one developing the AI that they're wasting money on, they just demanded I use it.

That's true software engineering folks. Decoupling doesn't just make it easier to program and reuse, it saves your job when you need to retire something later too.

It's a week before the election. Mark my words, he WILL shoot someone on 5th Ave and not lose any voters.

Doesn't South Korea have a pretty big stake in this? Not like "stop guarding their border" stake, but "holy shit guys we have a way to really make them eat dirt."

Well. I mean, that's pretty cool. I don't think I would have ever guess that was an actual function from systemd but here we are

No, I'm pretty sure it's like a baseball game. Some dude runs out there every so often and chalks the boundaries a mile or so in width so you can see them from space

That's exactly what I said without saying it.

No kidding.

He decides "eh, maybe a jihad with 66 billion people killed is fine" but becoming an almost immortal space worm hybrid crosses the line.

People like choice, but people don't want to have to spend time choosing or learning.

That's why I mentioned Arch - because of the tie in with the Steam Deck. Nice and easy for gamers to make a connection to.

What becomes the difficult sell is that people, in general, don't understand computers. It's the bane of my existence. Any Linux distro requires a basic understanding of how computers work. The Windows PC and Apple products were successful because they required no learning and the user was relatively protect from messing anything up.

The Steam Deck was successful because it took that same approach. It just uses a variant of their Big Picture mode users are already used to.

Linux, by it's very nature, is not something that can be widely adopted by consumers. I think that's why Apple and Windows (hell, even Google with Android and Chrome OS) can get all the invasive technology to the user they want, and force users to adopt even more invasive things. Because people just won't learn anything else. And that's not something any of us can do anything about.

I have a crazy idea.

What if y'all get together, and make a guide on an easy way to switch to idk Arch, since Valve is working with it.

You know, so that they don't have to spend a lot of money, and don't have to worry about losing all their data, and hopefully so they don't have to learn everything about Linux so they can enjoy using it right away.

Ha, I almost believed that was realistic rereading it.

He's a money guy. Appearing completely neutral and an open question benefits him based on his availabile information. If that changes either way, that is when we will know.

Basically he's a coward.

Iran is more along the lines of "fuck the US. But, fuck, US, fuck it up the right way ok? Butt fuck, the US."

More like Iran really wants to progress as a nation technologically without progressing as a nation socially. China and Russia were able to do that, and Iran is being unable to because of the US, but was doing better for a while with the last Iran deal that Trump fucked up.

Iran is sort of the weirdest place in the world. highly educated folk, restricted access to literature and products, all sorts of restrictions on women. It's always been very educated, and until the US overthrew the democratically elected government, it was doing quite well in the academic realm.

The Iranian religious conservatives have such brutal tactics that they effortlessly stifle any social progress. As seen the last dozen times women have attempted it.

They are also in the weird realm of not being able to accept Kamala as president for 'moral' reasons and Trump directly harmed Iran. Which all benefitted China and Russia because guess who supplies that stuff now?

So, yeah. Iran is complicated

Can we have a real talk?

I want them see how well they work together in extremely stressful situations... Get Kamala, Walz, AoC, and maybe uh, Sanders playing HELLDIVERS II!

People who lead boring normal lives.

Most people who own consoles I guess the

Weird. My employer is stupid strict about open source. I suspect it's because we contribute a bit.

Open source is usually preferred from a security and time to evaluate and implement standpoint, but it all needs to go through review to ensure we meet every licence agreement. This process can be annoying for some things and closed commercial products are used instead, who will happily sign business agreements in exchange for cash.

Because this was such a barrier to open source adoption, they actually implemented a process of cataloging approved open source software allowing projects to get the correct licenses arranged quickly.

Tech firms have no reason to abuse open source licensing, unless getting sued is cheaper than the software, which I suspect is largely not true, it's just also expensive for the developer. Maybe we need some sort of union-like organization for open source developers with special commercial licensing that they can contribute union-like fees to for suing these shits.
