So, get off your ass and get elected to public office and start making those changes. They will not happen otherwise.

Every non-violent revolution succeeded because of the violent revolution behind it. The peaceful leaders like Gandhi or MLK make the history books because they make for better propaganda. MLK was seen as easier for government and society to deal with rather than the gun toten’ Black Panthers. And Gandhi had bunches of armed and violent small revolutionary groups in the background.

History shows that unless enough people are actually willing to fight and die for social and political change, peaceful marches don’t change much.

Put some respect on the sackcloth and ashes that Slack is. I did my Slack phase 20 years ago also. Soooo many config files…But if you understood those, Slack was near bulletproof.

20 years ago you needed to search the web and download all the drivers AFTER the windows install then install all of those.

Being told “RFTM! noob”, isn’t as common as it was 20 years ago. At least with Fedora where good help can be found. Still, there are a good number of questions that just don’t get answered either.

Wait until you see next years model, Touch Screen Only BIOS. And as an added bonus, you will need a 4k monitor to see the selections that are so small you will need tiny rat like fingers to work.

I got an old Nitro 5 with a rickity old 500gig hard drive. Will a Crucial BX500 1TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-Inch Internal SSD be a good Christmas present for it?

Probably should get something while prices are somewhat more reasonable.

Shouldn’t be hard for anyone from Europe. The EU already wants to monitor all the social media anyway. Plus age restrictions. The Aussie’s aren’t far behind either. And they have age restrictions now.

I have walked in that shit, slipped in that shit, I have even fallen in that shit. Cow shit smells and tastes just as bad as the finest Bull shit. And that bullshit is mixed into that cow shit and the two can’t be separated. No matter how hard you try. And I ain’t dealing with any shit anymore for whatever time is left of my life.

But, I do like drinking my Daily Duck Shit. I have a cup of it right now. I love drinking my Daily Duck Shit and I always try to keep it on hand.

****For those that aren’t fairly deep into Chinese Oolong teas, Duck Shit, “Ya Shi Xiang”, is type of Dan-Cong Oolong tea. You can google Duck Shit tea and get at least one origin story. They are fun stories.

Languages are living things. And living things always change. Note the Great English Vowel Change. Even the Norwegian my Grandfather spoke and that I learned from him was virtually a dead language that modern Norwegians stopped using in the 1850s. And the English spoken in the UK is different than the American English I speak. Spanish spoken in Spain isn’t the same as someone from Mexico speaks.

And when conversing with someone, (in the language of your choice), the words you choose to use are defined by the context you use them in. Words can have multiple meanings, but it’s the context and tone clarifies those meanings. Consider all the meanings of the single word ‘fuck’.

But problems start with written words. And many people have poor written communication skills. It can be hard to parse meaning from poorly written words because there is little context and tone that comes through with a typed sentence.

We are all just baying at the moon like any pack. And hoping some understands us.

Oh, that’s easy. A liter is what you buy bottled water by and you buy soda pop in 2 liter bottles. Wine and whisk(e)y is 750ml bottles. It’s also the displacement of your car’s engine. Though we use cc’s for chainsaws and motorcycles, weird I know.

So Americans are well familiar with a liter.

And I don’t want any of your shit.

I grew up on dairy farm and it was one of my chores to shove the shit and then spread that shit nearly everyday. So I’ve had enough shit. I’m so done with that shit and the assholes it came out of. And I don’t need anyone giving me shit anymore either.

So you just keep your shit to yourself.

“Heros” seldom are.

And real heros are getting very scarce.

So, what distro is commando?

The colors! My eyes! It’s not beige! /Jking

(Keep rocking the Arch)

If you are going to provide support to non-Linux users, I would highly recommend an immutable distro. Choosing something from Fedora or it’s clones will keep uneducated users from being able to mess with the underlying OS. Yet it allow users to install/uninstall software through flatpacks with no need of sudo and the risks it can bring. Updates can be set to automatic and they will never need to do updates themselves. And if something does go boom, then you can easily roll back on reboot to get a working desktop until you can fix things for them.

LFS is Hell.

There was a time I thought I knew how to Linux properly. I could compile kernels fearlessly. But I was wrong. So very, very wrong…

And Kinonite by extension. I updated and restarted because I like fresh kernels.

Don’t judge me, it’s my kink OK. In my sad, pathetic little white bread life in the middle of nowhere.

It’s a calculated risk. But I think they will be just fine when they turn back to their base consumers. And the consumers will welcome them back. Happens all the time. nVidia and crypto Hoe’s are the latest example.

So their not shutting down, just focusing on AI idiots until the bubble busts and then they will turn back to consumers…

Rules of Acquisition #1,261-- Always fuck over the idiots in the market. And when you’ve taken all their money, go back to your base with inflated prices.
