💯😂 Sadly I imagine it’s probably a sub-distro like Mint or Pop erroneously coming up as the Ubuntu it forks off, not an army of Bringi out there, but you never know…

I feel like he used to seem crazy, but it was like a Tik Tok trend you don’t get, but with racism, and there’s an audience for it, but ever since he got on that Hannibal Lecter thing… I think NOW it’s just crazy
Very odd to be a vassal state to a mooch ethnostate with 1/100th your population numbers…
Narrator: they would
The management culture emphasizes a workflow that’s heavy on low skill junior devs and cheap foreign labor of highly variable quality. You caaaaan do that well with infinite planning and QA and project management and test-driven design, but the reason you’re trying to do it that way to begin with is you’re an under qualified yes-man careerist dipshit trying to come in under budget and time, so you won’t. And these are the wages of low wages.
You gotta love how aggressively they prevent users from seamlessly running executables from the internet, a VERY legitimate common use case, but a desktop shortcut from the internet? Run away!
Heck, there was even overlap with the internet where you could briefly lookup anyone in any city’s white pages listing online for free! People used to sign their Usenet posts with their full name, phone, and mailing address, though. We were really stupid in hindsight, but it was a more innocent time.
I’d wager your DVD rips are same quality, most stuff from the 90’s touched by computer anything is 480p at the source. VHS, it would be an improvement probably.
Neoliberalism is a right wing ideology, hate to break it to you. There is no left in 2024 America.
Yeah, it’s kind of infuriating how there’s really no great clients
I’m on Graphene with nearly all FOSS apps
A DNC congressional majority passed every shitty thing he did except the Iran Contra stuff. There’s a great classic SNL from the late 80’s where Al Franken talks on Weekend Update about how it used to be someone who got old and rich like him would have to become a republican, but thanks to the DNC becoming a neoliberal anti-tax party, he doesn’t need to swap parties.
We’re on the brink of another Trump term --Justice Judy may well happen in the next year or two…
At least it was underground, limiting how many people were in the line of fire, every few years they open fire at someone on a major avenue in Manhattan in a crowd. Good times. I’m so glad the democratic party destroyed Scott Stringer by bribing his ex-gf to falsely accuse him of being a sex pest to ensure the DNC’s man, Eric Adams, the biggest shithead to ever come out of the NYPD, could become mayor-king of NYC, guaranteeing Guiliani-level daily police misconduct with impunity.
A number of VPNs have anti-tracking/adblocking features, but idk how well they work – I refuse to use an OS with OS level ads, so I never see non-browser ads
I would argue all of these things were possible sans “AI” (although it would have been sold as AI in the 90’s) via existing heuristics adequately developed if people knew that was the desired application
If ONE emo kid had befriended him in high school and showed him how he could talk to girls about Death Cab, all of this would be fine… There’s a mirror earth where Rivers Cuomo is this in the W era…
The backlash to this is going to be fun. Having lived through the .com boom/bust, which wasn’t a scam, the web was actually the future and was undersold if anything, no one with the stink of computer on them outside of a tiny elite could get decent fulltime work for like 5 years. AI is a scam, full stop. It has virtually no non-fraud real world applications that don’t reflect the underlying uselessness of the activity it can do. People are going to go full Butlerian Jihad from Dune when this blows up the economy, and it’s going to suck so much more for everyone in tech, scammer or no…
The DNC is now the party of the neocons. Maybe Trump is so bad it’s “necessary” but arguably in a two party duopoly that’s effectively a sealed system, you’re just swapping voters with the GOP to wind up still relatively 50/50, and I’m skeptical there’s a geographical advantage to upper-crust, legitimately evil former republicans, who don’t care for Trump’s uncouth antics, as presumably most of those voters live in districts that are already blue-ish. You’re literally giving up pro-peace voters in random districts across the country, potentially in tightly contested congressional districts, to run up your VA margin of victory.
Would Liz and Dick Cheney support a bad party? Checkmate, commies!
