This has been a trope since Linux existed.

"Linux doesn’t work with my hardware*

“Well, just spend hundreds or thousands on new hardware so you can run this free OS!”

the_crotch ,

It takes a lot of balls to send a former and possibly future president to prison. Way more balls than sending his lackay.

the_crotch ,

Honestly, they’re probably thrilled. Legislation forced them to provide a free product for this sort of simple, no frills filing, so they won’t be losimg any paying customers to this and probably won’t have to spend dev and qa time supporting the free tier anymore

the_crotch ,

Any statement which contains the phrase “Maybe the Nazis where onto something” is automatically wrong.

the_crotch ,

I’m saying slaveowners are worse than pedos or serial killers.

FDR threw Japanese Americans in concentration camps. He didn’t oppose fascism, he just didn’t think Hitler was doing it right.

‘A catastrophe’: Greenpeace blocks planting of ‘lifesaving’ Golden Rice (www.theguardian.com)

Scientists have warned that a court decision to block the growing of the genetically modified (GM) crop Golden Rice in the Philippines could have catastrophic consequences. Tens of thousands of children could die in the wake of the ruling, they argue....

That tracks for Greenpeace. They’ve been fighting nuclear power since their inception.

the_crotch ,

If we had gone nuclear 60 years ago climate change would be nothing more than an interesting theory. Greenpeace has as much share of the blame for the current state of the world as Exxon mobil does.

the_crotch ,

Another significant reason we didn’t invest more in nuclear was hysteria spread by fear mongering groups like Greenpeace.

But sure, it’s Greenpeace’s fault and not Exxon Mobil.

They’re both to blame. They both put significant money and effort into keeping us on petroleum long after a viable alternative was available.

the_crotch ,

Well, let’s see. We have a century’s worth of uranium left, and only 50 years of petroleum. Also, resource scarcity isn’t really the problem with petrochemicals. It’s the environmental impact. Nuclear doesn’t have that problem. Classic brainwashed tree hugger poser rambling on incoherently while ignoring any and all inconvenient facts. You should join Greenpeace.

That actually sounds awesome sign me up

Gone with the wind had a black woman in it

So why wasn’t it addressed during the Obama admin, when Democrats controlled both houses of Congress?

the_crotch ,

That’s been true every year since I stated paying attention. In 1997.

it is unlikely that Linux Desktop adoption will ever proliferate to the kinds of mainstream adoption that its accolades desire.

And if it does, the acolytes will hate it and start pushing for BSD adoption, because there’s a huge streak of hipsterism in the Linux community

Private companies can still have multiple owners

your friend might be talking about the steam controller

And the steam link. And the steam vr headset. Valve has a terrible record with regards to hardware.

Iranian President Raisi feared dead as helicopter wreckage found (www.yahoo.com)

(Reuters) -Hopes are fading that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister have survived a helicopter crash in mountainous terrain and icy weather, an Iranian official said on Monday after search teams located the wreckage. “President Raisi’s helicopter was completely burned in the crash … unfortunately, all...

If it comes out that Israel did this it’s going to be a Gavrillo Princep moment

Why are they pointing out the man’s race if racism wasn’t a factor?

the_crotch ,

Not only Canadian, an illegal immigrant

the_crotch ,

That video would have gotten a fuckton of views though.

the_crotch ,

Plenty of parents have given their kids whiskey though it’s not as common as it was when I was a kid

the_crotch ,

I agree. I doubt a doctor would recommend it. People in this thread are.actibg like it’s unheard of though. It’s super common especially during teething.

the_crotch ,

I’m sure they don’t recommend jack Daniels either

the_crotch ,

That’s not the general consensus. It’s one of many conspiracy theories.

the_crotch ,

You heard it from traditional artists when the camera was invented

the_crotch ,

If youre implying that every gallery in the world is rushing to exhibit every submitted ai picture with no curation or quality filter, name 5.

the_crotch ,

And if they can’t compete with the soulless generic crap that ai spits out, they probably shouldn’t be artists

the_crotch ,

If they’re not doing it for a living they don’t have to compete with anyone, least of all AI

Google unveils Veo, a high-definition AI video generator that may rival Sora (arstechnica.com)

On Tuesday at Google I/O 2024, Google announced Veo, a new AI video-synthesis model that can create HD videos from text, image, or video prompts, similar to OpenAI’s Sora. It can generate 1080p videos lasting over a minute and edit videos from written instructions, but it has not yet been released for broad use.

Veo is a pretty prolific graffiti artist in Hartford CT

Lincoln wanted to send the freed slaves back to Africa. He wasn’t as good of a guy as history class made him out to be.

the_crotch ,

Lincoln was a centrist. John Brown was a progressive. The radical wing of the Republican party wanted to give the freed slaves their own land so they could earn a living and let them vote, and there were enough of them in Congress that it nearly happened. Even in the context of the times Lincoln was kind of backwards. He was more concerned with placating the southern states than giving black people rights.

the_crotch ,

Lincoln wasn’t an abolitionist. He said so himself. “If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that.”.

His priority was preventing (and, later, winning) the war to maintain the union. He didn’t seem to care about slaves at all.

He was right smack dab in the middle of the slavers and the abolitionists. He just wanted everyone to get along. He was a centrist.

North Carolina bill to curb mask-wearing in protests could make it illegal for medical reasons too (apnews.com)

People wearing a mask during protests in North Carolina could face extra penalties if arrested, under proposed legislation that critics say could make it illegal to wear a mask in public as a way to protect against COVID-19 or for other health reasons....

How the fuck are fat middle aged guys supposed to show you they’re fun?

the_crotch ,

What if I told you you can create and set a registry entry with a single line of powershell

the_crotch ,

That’s ok too. If you’re not comfortable in the cli you can switch to a more gui focused windows distro. Most of the same functionality is there.

the_crotch ,

Yeah, if there’s one thing gigantic corporations are bad at it’s making money

the_crotch ,

It’s a very reasonable cost

Ok, cool.

which you pay annually

Pffffft. Nah.

the_crotch ,

Yeah. I’m really not going to rent an app launcher.

Paying a subscription for a product isn’t a donation. It’s a subscription fee.

You’re framing homosexuality as a negative. If Trump was gay it would be the least bad thing about him.

the_crotch ,

I understand, but insulting someone by calling them gay implies theres something wrong with being gay and we should try to avoid that

Slack seems great, I’ve had no problems with it

We boil the milk

That’s what pasteurization is

the_crotch ,

It was great for making buzzy electric guitar sounds in EXTREME games and that’s about it. SNES sound chip was superior and probably capable of replicating the Genesis sound if they’d tried

the_crotch ,

Those “disinfection” scenes were where the franchise stopped even pretending that blatant titillation was plot relevant. If ENT had lasted a couple more seasons we would have gotten full frontal.
