Next up: vitamin c tablets. We won’t stop until scurvy is in full come back!

Yes, that is what he’s suggesting, and right after that, massive censorship follows

No, get ready for massive censorship

Porn is on the chopping block in the US. That is maybe less important but it’s huge

Next up websites and tv programs that carry the “wrong” political message

They still need to at least be taxed to hell and back and I’ll still not rest until the last fascist is strangled with the robes of the last priest, to misquote someone…

But yeah, it’s nice to see a church doing something positive for once.

Yeaaahh, but does it though?

I’ve put loads of regular users on Linux and on average they have less issues than they had with windows

That is ignoring the installation. Linux install is download iso, burn it on USB, boot computer with said USB, run the install program, go through the 5-6 pages which takes about 15 minutes, reboot and the machine is done.

Windows 11 install is downloading ISO, burn it on USB, boot computer with said USB and then the boot up immet fails with this vague error. Spend a good hour on Internet searches to find that it’s some bios setting which is fine for Linux, but whatever. Make setting, reboot USB! Setup now crashes again on other gauge error. Spend another 4 hours on sraxhes only to find out that windows iso burning requires a special windows only burning program that will “fix” it and is totally not done on purpose to sabotage Linux users, but fine, were only 5 hours in and still have to start so boot up a VM in Linux, find that usb burner somewhere, download and install that, then download the iso again, burn it, dump it again in the machine and presto, er have an installer, yay!

Go through the pages, and more pages and more crap and install this sponsored content and watch ads and now you need an account at Microsoft and more pages and do you love me? Please let me know that you love me, more feedback because I’m Microsoft and I need feedback and now do you want these games that you hate, and you must install office you will love it even though you’d rather commit sepuku, and a fucking hour of clicking a thousand times later, windows is finally installed …?

Seriously, if I say that installing Linux was ten times easier than windows, it would be the understatement of the year.

In it’s general use, nobody will run into weird shit like they do on windows and to top it off, you got no issues with viruses, no ads nor spyware in the operating system itself, and shit just works.

Yeah, Linux has bugs, just like windows, but the experience is ten times better, I’ll die happily and proud on that hill

That is just the Calvin ball handbook

No Republican has ever given two shits about state rights, personal rights or even human rights in general. They never stop screeching about it but they don’t give a shit.

They only care about their own pockets, the end.

Whenever I hear some famous American talk about how they weee gh good guys and that they want to be the good guys again…

You never were the good guys, its just now for the first time that Americans really too suffer the consequences of their shitty leadership.

The US funded and directed a dictator to come to power in Iran, which directly caused current theocracy

Same for Chile same for Nicaragua same for…

The US always has been the evil one, it’s just that it was slightly less evil than the USSR and it gave it’s citizens slightly more rights and it treated its allies well.

THAT is what’s gone now. Allies are now treated like enemies, and citizens are now being fucked, and it’s rapidly becoming more evil than the USSR ever was.

The US always has been evil

On a side note: Well controlled capitalism is great for everyone and can be the power source for a huge socialist system, see Finland, the Netherlands. Unbridled capitalism gets you the shit in the US. You were warned, ma y many times, you k ew this would happen and didn’t care. That is what changed, now you have out of control billionaires. You have a choice: go like France a few hundred years ago, or become slaves. I’d you want to be a slave, that’s fine, that’s your choice, but don’t force that fate onto the test of the world

Ooh, so now medication will only be 50 times more expensive than in Mexico, I’m sure that’ll stop Americans from medicine shopping in Mexico.

Mexico should do something to stop that invasion of US citizens, they’re all sick and do nothing to improve the economy, they only buy medication, food, souvenirs, and then they leave only to return a few weeks later! This is an act of war, Mexico should build a wall!

Please don’t make me add an /s here

Soon that will be “had”

Mind you, this will end with a lot of porn disappearing from the Internet because most of it is on US servers

Someone should start downloading all of it and have some federated repository available

Gotta love it how one party steals rights away from Americans and it’s always the one party that screams the loudest about “muh rights!” and they’re constantly supported by smooth brains who just can’t stop talking about “muh rights or you get muh bullets!!”.

I’m still waiting for those bullets to fly but smooth brains are occupied now by trump jingeling some keys calls “no trans bathrooms” in front of them so they’re a bit busy

Black white supremacy is such a mental gymnastics mind breaker. It’s like you’re really on the edge in one, but which one is it?

“Handbrake” is quite good at making high quality mkv files, you should be able to Automate a lot of it

Oh, Cheeto wants it built too fast?

I’d love for him to travel on a Boeing airplane that was built too fast on top of being a Boeing. It would solve so much shit in this world if he did

Aahhwww, that is so sad, I run Linux and soon our entire office will.

Guess we won’t be using teams then, ooaaahhhwww, so sad

Don’t worry, teams is always somewhere between 10%-30% broken, always something n doesn’t work, there are always a bunch of people that can’t get in the meeting, that can’t share screens all of the sudden because fuck you, that’s why

Teams is the absolute worst and not a day goes by without people shitting on it, and we’re only using it because most of our customers do but internally we will switch to something open source soon, because I get to make that decision 😎

I’m at the point where I’m going to say that we need to prohibit facial recognition devices for companies and peiplemin general, and mostly for government too.

This shit is going too far. I know I don’t have a right to privacy when I’m outsidey home but I will very fucking well have a tight to not have my privacy abused to hell and back when I’m outside. No, Facebook, you don’t get to facially recognize me on the street and then follow my location everywhere, monitor what I’m doing while Im not even on your fucking website.

The only place where I remotely think it might be allowed in a very limited fashion is by governments and them only after OK from a judge and even them only in a very limited set of circumstances, like a missing child or a known > violent criminal who’s on the run. Couple this with harsh penalties for police officers who would break those rules. This, of course, only works in well established democracies where police is very well controlled, else it’s just abuse again as well.

Beyond that tiny scope, fuck your facial recognition, and fuuuuuuccckkk Facebook and fuck mark Zuckerberg with an umbrella.

Seconded

So far, AI has replaced little routine and has tried to replace a lot of art and enjoyment

I think it’s the one thing available to us that can make sure we’re still alive and useful after AGI really comes into existence.

Once real real AGI AI is here with access to robotucs, we will either be relegated to the status of pet or, judging on how badly we treat the world and eachother, culled to more manageable proportions or just plain exterminated. The only way for us to continue to exist would be a direct brain to computer interface that gives us access to the same brain power as AI by then will have

As samxary as that is, I think that for humanity it’s the only way to survive. If done right through open source principles, it’ll be a system you can control yourself and activate/deactivate on command, and as needed. If it’s something they comes from corporate America it’ll force you to buy useless shit into perpetuity as a mindless drone. If it comes from China or Russia, it’ll just make you a mindless drone.

It’ll only be possible to be a good thing if we fix humanity first, so yeah…
