Dads reaction is probably a more exaggerated version of my reaction.

I let out a sensible chuckle. I had no idea there was a movie. I just said “Ha ha ha, girl look like doll!”

And thats as far as the joke went for me. But I guess the dad found it way funnier than I did.

Or maybe he was being tickled. By a ghost. A ghost tickler! Like the kind that jerked off Ray in Ghostbusters.

Thats right. In a PG movie, a character got a handjob. Between this, and Marty McFlys mom being horny for her son, the 80s were a different time. I would know. I was there, high on cocaine. Also I was born in '83. Sooooo…like 5 years old.

Gosh! I hope there were no kids on that train!

What does it say?

Music, Phrases, and Butterfly Gloco

??? The fuck is Butterfly Gloco?

See, I like this.

I don’t have diabetes. Either type. But I said when I first got to Lemmy that it was very very heavy on tech and politics.

I said in order to grow we need more everything else. The example I used was I have no interest in gardening. But we should get a gardening community. Then I said I don’t know how to play guitar, but there should be a community for guitar players. These communities would not interest me personally. But they’re a sign of a healthy growing platform.

Last night I was browsing ALL and saw a post from a community called “Stop Drinking”. I’m not an alcoholic. I drink on occasion. But I thought it was really cool that community exists. They have a daily post where people pledge to not drink for the day. Taking things one day at a time. I think thats cool. I like that exists for those who need it.

And now this. I don’t have diabetes. This community won’t be of interest to me personally. But I think it’s cool this exists. I don’t know if a type 2 diabetes exists. Quite frankly I’m a bit ignorant on the difference between 1 and 2 is. I used to think type 1 was sugar levels too low and need sugar suppliments, while type 2 was too high, and need inculin shots to level it out. I was told thats wrong. In any event, I hope there is a type 2 community too.

All the communities for all the people! The way I see it, every interest no matter how niche, should get a community. Now granted some of them won’t have as big of a userbase, but that’s ok.

There should be a community for people who still collect POGS. Remember POGS? They should be back. In Lemmy form.

I’m getting off track. My point is, I like that this community exists for those who need it. Keep up with existing!

Can I join? I want to be surrounded by angry kittens!

Not all. Just a huge chunk.

We won’t see the peak until society collapses and all the systems required to fuel that technology fall apart.

We’re currently at a point in history where scientists agree is past the tipping point for global warming, and now data centers are using obscene amounts of water to cool their AI machines.

We have unmarked “government officials”, kidnapping people off the street. Fascism is on the rise world wide.

How is this moment in time not the exact definition of what you’re describing?

Money.

It would probably try to poison us humans by, oh I don’t know…poisoning an entire seasons worth of crops. You know, like a famine. Except it would have to be a plant that an entire country relies on. Something like…the potato harvest in Ireland.

And if that fails, mabe a few dozen decades later, you release a pandemic with no cure. Hopefully the humans won’t develop a vaccine or anything.

He should dress up as a wolf for halloween, and then…send you photos.

As someone who works with people who show up to work high and drunk, I assure you, we know.

2032 actually. The year of alien invasion.

The upside is, trumps home planet will finally take him back. You thought that orange skin wasn’t natural? It is. It oozes out of his pours.

I think peak was XP.

Vista was shit. 7 was alright, but not better than XP. 8 was terrible. 10 was worse than 7, but still meh. 11 is dog shit.

Actually, recent trends have shown a dramatic decrease in birth. This is why in the last 10 years republicans are trying to break roe v wade. They want more future workers to exploit.

Amen. Praise be to our savior, Sir Mix-a-lot.

Yeah, ok…but only eliminates SOME of the other industries.

For example, you wouldn’t think ad sales as a sexually abusive industry. Yet I have it on good authority that google had spez get down on his knees and take cock after cock after cock cumming in his mouth, on his face, in his eyes. And as much as he was gagging, they just kept going. Cum everywhere. Bukake ritual to seal the deal on their AI agreement.

Then angry german women in leather came in with massive strapons the size of a forearm. Ramming every inch into him. As he cried and cried, while she smacked his balls with a ping pong paddle.

What? I thought you guys always said fuck spez?

And cumming…and cumming…and cumming…

It took your reaction for me to get the joke.

…the sad joke.

Kind of strange that they abbriviated “to” with “2”.

Even stranger that I still got it right. Unless you’re messing with me. In which case, fair play. I’m totally clueless sometimes.

Drag and drop worked on windows 3.1. That was like the whole thing. “LOOK WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW!”

At this point, I’m fairly sure pissing people off is the point with Windows 11. It’s full of AI no one wants, refuses to officially run on most hardware that people already have, despite running just fine on that same hardware UNofficially, dropped support for drag and drop, doesn’t let you move the taskbar.

And thats not even to mention the fact that it monitors you, and reports back to HQ with screen grabs and usage activity.

Oh look, ZorinOS, just one singular distro, had 1.6 million downloads in the past 2 months.

Wait, is there any special thing that happened 2 months ago? Oh right. Windows 10 support ended, and microsoft told its userbase “fuck you, you can’t get support for windows 10, and this computer can’t update to windows 11. This computer is now trash!”

Suddenly all these youtube videos pop up “Is your PC unable to install windows 11? Try linux!”

And these videos don’t try to sway you to one distro or another. They point out a few big hitters like mint or ubuntu. I can’t imagine them specifically naming zorin, unless it’s a zorin centric video. But I’m talking about the flood of “try linux” videos that popped up in October.

And that 1.6 million is JUST zorin. That’s the runoff. I don’t have numbers, or sources, but gut instinct tells me that if Zorin had 1.6 million downloads, Mint must have had like 5 million minimum. Every video always reccomends Mint. It’s probably overtaken Ubuntu at some point as most used distro.

And all of this, every single bit of user loss has NOTHING to do with linux. Users are angrily switching. Not happily. They feel abandoned, and forced to switch.

If Microsoft either extended Windows 10 support, or allowed Windows 11 to be installed on reasonable hardware, this linux boom DOES NOT HAPPEN. This is Microsoft saying “Yeah bitch, money is tight! Go buy another computer, loser! You’ll do what we say, and there’s nothing you can do to stop us!”

That’s when users switched to linux. This is pure hubris from Microsoft. It would be interesting if somehow we could get a combined number of EVERY distros doenload numbers.
