I don’t think you should have been downvoted, but what is it you do? Remote monitoring? We deployed hundreds of monitors last summer and I swear I almost memorized the goddamn DisplayPort pinout.

You can absolutely feel the stress of the stress.

Definitely! Zero proprietary software.

Close! Trisquel.

This is interesting because I’ve been having conversations about what operating system I recommend for the last 20+ years.

What does he not understand correctly here?

It’s extremely misleading to say “companies do not pay tariffs” and then immediately explain that companies do indeed pay tariffs.

I know what you mean. When I know what I’m talking about, I am also strong willed. My primary issue is when people come at me with an attitude from the jump. If someone approaches me with normal conversational respect, even if they are a capitalist or something, I am happy to have a cordial chat; if it’s rude from the get go? I will tell them they deserve the death penalty.

Tech issues are a little easier, but those tend to be proffered by the most obnoxious morons who also need to be put in their place by their superiors. People who say stuff like “decimate means reduced by 10%” and pretend technical decisions are entirely objective.

By 2007, reddit definitely felt pretty big to me. But like an overgrown small town maybe.

I don’t understand what these folks are saying. VirtualBox is community software. It does not matter that it comes from Oracle since it is fully libre/open.

Yeah, this is super fucked up. I think that it would be powerful and completely reasonable to have the AI read actual words he wrote, like from old text messages, emails, or whatever. That is a legitimate way to bring someone to life—completely ethical if they wrote the material. This is a disgrace to justice and ridiculous.

Oh that’s awesome! Did you use gObject I think it’s called? I’ve always been fascinated with the idea of object oriented C programming, but I’m not a developer and I never really got into it.

I started asking questions whenever some right winger would start in with the whole “here’s what you’re doing wrong” routine. “And you think this will help the far left succeed?” or “So you believe that’s the best way to get people to vote for the leftist candidate?” Just messing around since they are obviously not providing legitimate feedback.

I didn’t even realize I thought this, but reading your comment I definitely did.

People who say “you must be fun at parties” deserve a whole lot worse than prison.

And it’s ultimately insulting to men too, like the idea of being excited to share personal news is somehow anathema to the male experience.

Yep, this is just a standard market segmentation.

Don’t downplay it. We all experience a culture and this is part of being in it.
