  • The tankies on lemmy assure me it's a utopia. 😂

  • Non-communist

  • When I thru-hiked the Arizona Trail, there was one section that involved crossing under some high voltage transmission lines, my hair stood up and also because i wasn't anywhere near a water source there were no bird noises and the cracking the power lines was almost the only sound other than my footsteps that I heard that day.

    There was a real sense of, "civilization is around me but NOWHERE close".

  • Mac is definitely the lowest wall in Apple's garden. Most people should be able to step over.

  • I find it wild that your experience is that Linux is difficult to install software, but that said: I'm not constantly trying to install Windows software.

  • Because Microsoft locked these features to Pro and Enterprise tiers of Windows for profitability reasons.

    Also, people with actually modular PCs sometimes move drives between devices.

  • At some point in time you'll just have to unravel your word salad and realize that all things associated with this space are incredulous.

  • Sure. Also Right-to-work legislation. Red States race to the bottom with worker protections.

    Still the most powerful, tho.

  • If you really wanted them to give back, you could have just used the GPL. 😂 😅

  • The problem unique to car companies is that the Repubs are beholden to the car companies and the only unions big enough and worth a shit in the US is the UAW, and Democrats are beholden to anything they need.

    So you literally can't do anything to regulate the industry without pissing off one or the other. The car companies will use any legislation raised against them to lay off union jobs.

  • Linux is based on unix, which was an operating system designed to run on computers like the PDP-11 of the 1970s.

    The problem is that computers have changed a lot, and Richie and Thompson couldn't perfectly forecast all those changes. Most notably, it predates the internet.

    Anyways, computers changed and so systemd was invented to copy MacOS Tiger's launchd service model. Here's the only video you need to watch on the subject

  • The Mexica existed long before the Spanish arrived. They migrated to the Valley of Mexico from a land in the north they referred to as Aztlán when the Toltecs went into decline.

    Nuevo Mexico was named by the Spanish in reference to this history, as they were following the Rio Grande north searching for the Cities of Gold referenced in these same Mexica (ie Aztec) legends.

  • Each new version of Windows is just Microsoft trying to further tighten the screws on its captive userbase.

    They've not brought anything of real value to customers in years.

  • Windows 2000 was a low-key disaster, but I get not wanting to use the fisher-price interface.

    But man, did Win2k fanboys beat that one point to death to try and slander XP . 😂

    (to be fair: XP before SP2 was an unmigigated disaster as well. It just got a fix eventually, but 2k never did)

  • Now do insurance executives.

    Why don't doctors make more?

  • How does pizza feel about me?

  • I think this would be great.

    But, you're going to be hosting a lot of images.

  • I mean...I started out getting buttfucked by my bidet and now I'm leaning hard into being bisexual.
