Not even close.

Why would it be a threat to the entertainment industry? I thought they were all excited about being able to cut costs with AI.

It’s actually much worse than that.

AI will reinforce delusional thinking. This is definitely not good.

When you share with Facebook, you share with Trump.

People are afraid of the terminal because Windows has a shitty, unfriendly terminal. One of the things that brought me back to Linux was the cool-looking terminals. They make me feel like I’m Hackerman.

Linux isn’t just a different operating system. It’s a paradigm shift. Windows is always going to dominate as long as people are trapped in a Windows mindset.

Being intimidated by the terminal is fine, but the sooner you learn it, the better. Terminal is your friend, not your enemy. Take baby steps if you need to, but you’re really doing yourself a disservice by staying away from the terminal.

Garuda is good for a newbie provided A) they love MacOS UI and B) they’re willing to bring their A game if something breaks.

You’re saving an already low-quality stream into a lossy format. Just use Soulseek.

He isn’t killing people in the name of atheism. He’s killing them in the name of narcissism.

What’s interesting is that some people read this and think it means “bigotry isn’t a problem anymore”, instead of “the rich use bigotry to control the masses”. You have to address bigotry as well as the economic issues.

Okay, they “don’t pay taxes”, but the government still takes the money and then returns it if they ask for it (i.e. file a tax return). That isn’t quite the same as not paying.

Also, you have to be stupidly poor to get all of your taxes returned.

People are going to take a shit in them.

Sure, somebody will. But the system will take note of that person, and then they don’t get to ride again. Or they have to pay a fine. Or whatever.

Apparently yes.

I don’t think that anybody should have nuclear weapons. Do you support assassinating scientists?

Definitely recommend Soulseek. You’ll get higher-quality files, too.

I’m not trying to defend BestBuy or DoorDash. This is entirely on the driver.

You are defending Best Buy in the very next sentence.

DoorDash is designed to deliver food, not expensive electronics. You can bet that if somebody designed a delivery service for electronics, they wouldn’t make it this easy to steal shit. If the driver decides to take your food and eat it themselves, you’re out…what? $25-35? A $700+ laptop is a whole other level.

Attacking civilians doesn’t automatically make it a genocide. If that were true, then pretty much every war ever was a genocide.

Why did the authoritarian regime wait until now to turn off the Internet?

I don’t look both ways before crossing the street, and I’ve never been hit! It must be safe!
