This story has an extra chromosome. Florida Cop might too.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

Right there with ya.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

Still might want to practice on a hot dog or something afterwards though.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

Good old fashioned enshitification.

OldQWERTYbastard OP ,

I’m experimenting with Pop_OS on a laptop as my daily driver after playing with different distros in VM environments over the years. There’s definitely a learning curve, but so far so good.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

Guess I’m done talking shit about Clippy.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

Back when we saw the death of the floppy disk, I knew optical media’s days were numbered. Twenty years ago we had no idea that everything was going to be “something as a service.” Enshitification hadn’t been invented yet.

A Stanford University instructor has been removed from the classroom amid reports they called Jewish students colonizers and downplayed the Holocaust (www.cnn.com)

An instructor at Stanford University has been removed from teaching duties as the school investigates reports that during a discussion on the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the instructor downplayed the Holocaust and singled out students “based on their backgrounds and identities.”...

OldQWERTYbastard ,

I started working a tech job at a large university a couple of months ago and it’s a very different world and atmosphere than when I was in school 20 years ago.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

I guess Israel had enough of Hamas’ shit.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

Best get to releasing those prisoners then.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

That’s just it. Hamas does not want peace with Israel. They want to see 100% total eradication of the Israeli state. There is no reasoning with extremists. I’m surprised so many people here are pro-Hamas.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

Any recommendations on a piracy-friendly e-reader? I don’t want to go around the world to get root access either if I can help it.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

Israel starts to steal homes, land and killing men, children and women.

Can I get a source for this? I’ve been living under a rock.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

Thanks for the input. I haven’t been following this story closely.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

We don’t use the word “Spyware” like we did twenty years ago. It’s baked into Windows now.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

Best not to poke bomb the sleeping giant.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

Am I brain damaged or is part of the joke the fact that the screenshot isn’t legible?

Ninja EditNevermind. The Boost app seems to default to low res images.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

Cave hermit here and I was delighted the first time I launched Quake 3 Arena on a linux distro. I’m wading deeper into the linux pool since Microsoft has lost their mind. Ads have no place in an operating system.

Gaming has tied me to Windows for decades, but thanks to companies like Valve and System 76 the long awaited shift may continue accelerating.

I’m glad to be here to see it.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

I knew Tyson was a trash company, but this is blatantly predatory; up there with Nestle. They won’t get any more of my money, but I wish there was an easy way to know which house (store) brands are using Tyson.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

Don’t forget the lemons for your party.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

It’s all about the money.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

Nevermind the fact that the standard definition playback looks like a smeared turd when you play it on a modern high resolution display. I’ll stick to ripping Blu-ray.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

Ah, the elusive “C o u r a g e” port.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

You the real MVP.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

I’ll second KSP. I learned a ton from that game.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

I only learned that I was raised by a major league narcissist with anger management problems after I met my wife. She has training in clinical counseling and helped me realize that soooo much of my personality and habits can be traced back to my upbringing. Turns out my grandfather treated him the same way.

Generational trauma is a cruel monster that many of us never learn about. That’s a damn shame too.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

Honestly, how much better can they get? I love to have the latest gadgets as much as the next guy, but I’ve got bills and shit too.

Still rocking my Pixel 4a.

That melty golden-orange loaf of processed cheese product. 🧀 We call it Velveeta now.

My local power company operates as a co-op utility company and ISP that runs gigabit fiber to my curb. <$100/month. Community owned utilities can be amazing when done right.

You might say he took Adjit on it.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

We’ve had an identical experience. It’s sad to see the enshitification of GMail.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

Oh the damage has already been done. Trust is a hell of thing. Gained in inches and lost in miles. Let this be another cautionary tale for the rest of them.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

Any recommendations on those chinesium devices? My Pixel 4a is getting a little long in the tooth and I’m in the market for a new Android phone with a vanilla Android experience.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

There are fanatics on every side, but once a brand becomes a core part of your personality, I’m not going to want to talk to you.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

Look at Daddy Warbucks over here.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

I would trust Gabe’s judgement 100%. Dude runs one of the most pro-consumer companies in history. In doing so, he has built a fiercely loyal fan base by simply being good to his customers; not trying to squeeze them for every single cent.

Gabe is a rarity; part of a bygone era of business owners and software engineers who truly care about their projects and want to build things that they themselves want to use and play. He’s a smart man and Valve has been his baby since he left Microsoft. He’ll make sure it’s in good hands when and if retirement comes calling.

‘Ranting, rambling, and paranoid’: Federal appeals court suspends 96-year-old judge until she passes mental exam (lawandcrime.com)

Judge Newman has threatened to have staff arrested, forcibly removed from the building, and fired. She accused staff of trickery, deceit, acting as her adversary, stealing her computer, stealing her files, and depriving her of secretarial support. Staff have described Judge Newman in their interactions with her as “aggressive,...

Technology is allowing us to live “longer,” but not necessarily “better.”

We shouldn’t be ruled by geriatrics. Age limits need to be a thing.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

I’m baffled by the unrealistic demand for constant infinite growth from corporate shareholders and management. Those days are numbered.

OldQWERTYbastard ,

I love my Steam Deck and have recently made small steps in my journey away from Windows. I installed Pop OS on a laptop. Do you have any tips that might make that transition easier?

Thanks in advance. 👍

OldQWERTYbastard ,

The most valuable company in history with a market cap of $2.96 TRILLION dollars is screwing their employees to save an otherwise negligible amount of cash? Steve Jobs would be proud.

OldQWERTYbastard OP ,

There has been an explosion of growth in the past 30 years or so just south of Memphis, TN; mostly due to the lower Mississippi taxes. It’s a decent area. Jackson, MS is about three hours south and it’s a straight up shit hole. To be fair, Memphis isn’t far behind with their gangs wielding shoulder fired rocket propelled grenades.

OldQWERTYbastard OP ,

My old job at a large corporation didn’t want to pay Nortel to fly out from Dallas to host a proper two week telecommunications class to train their new support personnel. Instead they made this 65 year old “Ma Bell” tech to cobble together and teach a one and a half day crash course. I left with a notebook full of unfinished CLI commands, shorthand notes and just enough information to probably not bring down the entire enterprise PBX system. Good times.

OldQWERTYbastard OP ,

Well, I guess not any more!

Good.

Let that arrogant asshole reap what he sows.

Remember when NFTs sold for millions of dollars? 95% of the digital collectibles are now probably worthless. (markets.businessinsider.com)

Remember when NFTs sold for millions of dollars? 95% of the digital collectibles are now probably worthless.::NFTs had a huge bull run two years ago, with billions of dollars per month in trading volume, but now most have crashed to zero, a study found.

You mean to tell me that purchasing what is essentially a URL hosted on someone else’s server is a poor investment?
