Windows only pretends to let you be the administrator, until Microsoft wants to do something shitty to you.

Linux actually makes you the administrator, so any screw ups are on you.

Don’t worry. I’m sure the bank will understand.

What are your thoughts on mass surviellence?

I’m . . . against it? Is this a trick question? But just in case it isn’t: don’t buy products with cameras and microphones and network connectivity built into them.

Also keep your online life completely separate from your real life. That means NO personal info on line. At all.

Proton is amazing. All the Steam games I bought in Windows run great in Linux Mint.

Especially in light of Microsoft CoPilot. You do not want obvious spyware on any computer.

Pakleds: “Tucker Carlson is smart. He makes the news go.”

Voodoo Banshee, so I could play Quake, Unreal and Deus Ex.

Maybe he shouldn’t have called it “autopilot.”

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs shows what it takes for humans to be happy. A lot of people can’t even reach level 1.

This. You can usually spot bots from their low- value click bait. (“should cannibalism be legal?”,“why does God allow evil to exist?”,“Trump is a genius”, etc).

Popular media is the worst place to find a name for your kid. Remember all the parents who named their daughters “Danerys,” before she went insane in Season 8 and burned an entire city full of innocent people alive? I wonder how they feel about that choice now. That poor kid is doomed. You might as well give her a stripper name

We don’t hate “capitalism.”

We hate being farking exploited.

The U.S. also has a huge defense industry that has made people ridiculously rich at the expense of U.S. taxpayers. Those billionaires are heavily invested in the defense industry, so it’s not in their interests that wars end at all.

This is that “military-industrial complex” that former President Eisenhower warned us about so many years ago. His concern was that the U.S. would become bogged down in an endless series of “forever wars” that do nothing but transfer wealth to the already-wealthy.

Keeping that military industrial complex well-fed is the reason why so many politicians have such a boner for war. Not only to keep their wealthy sponsors happy, but to keep tax money and jobs flowing to their states, which just happen to manufacture war materiel.

“I’m a turkey!”

Steam has a native Linux client that uses a custom version of Wine called Proton. It handles all the emulator settings for you. All the Steam games I bought in Windows run just fine under Linux. And amost all my older, non-Steam games (like Deus Ex or Giants: Citizen Kabuto) work great under Wine.

I hate commercials that have NO connection to the product they’re selling. At all. Like, somebody literally wasted your company’s money to make a video about nothing.

Showing the benefits of your product is step 1 of advertising. Creativity is dead.

If the game is Elder Scrolls, then I beat the OS by waving my Wabbajack and the Windows OS turns into Linux.

The “Fire Island gay” look is not for me. (Aka Midriff-baring T-shirts and Nut-Hugger shorts.)

Well, thank goodness it wasn’t 27,000.

That would be way too much!
