A lot are still doing that and haven’t moved up

(Please at least use SFTP!)

I’ll be fine, go ahead and take your time ☺️

Boy trickle down economics sure is looking GREAT, huh?? Share holder success is better than ever, now if we could just do a thing about those pesky peasants… They better not go after poverty assistance or work benefits, that comes out of our taxes, can’t have our portfolio drop a fraction of a percent, can we?? Yep we’ll just exploit the masses until there’s nothing left and then… Uh…

At least we put them on pretty 3D animated carbonated beverage advertisements for Christmastime for a while, that must’ve felt really nice until you consider that humans are exploiting your cute and cuddly experience to increase shareholder revenue due to sales of an unnecessarily sugared beverage made with tropical fruit seeds

Humanity: having an obesity epidemic

Polar Bears: “increased fat stores?? D E L I C I O U S”

Dude we literally have that unix_surrealism comic there’s at least some love for BSDs here

There’s a lot of us neurodivergent folks in tech because it suits our needs better than a lot of other fields, and a lot of us just love technology

We’re more prone to being LGBTQIA+ than neurotypical folks, scientifically documented

Makes sense tech would have more trans folks as a result, we pad the numbers a lil bit

This is of course a generalization and actual ND/LGBTQIA+ presence is going to vary based on job, location, how insufferable management is, etc

If it wasn’t for those rascally penguins I would be flat broke trying to afford the latest system requirements for Windows 12 or a mediocre MacBook instead of a $120 5 year old Dell Latitude, how dare they!!

I know what you’re getting at and this isn’t directed at you and I know this is why it’s done, but the capabilities of the phone don’t have any bearing on the use of the AI so why gatekeep it? It’s a dumb way to make a profit.

Modern Israel is not Judaism! It’s not the same theocracy described in the old testament. It’s not even religiously pure, there’s a sizeable Christian and Muslim population. It’s perfectly valid to respect Jews and and their beliefs, and to criticize Netanyahu’s government for attempting to crush Palestine and kill its civilians indiscriminately in raids. Jewish folks in the US and abroad are joining in the protests to stop the war - this isn’t about being antisemitic, this is telling a very atrocious government to stop behaving as a similarly atrocious government did 80 years ago

Floridian boomers, xenophobes and christofascists keep putting him back in

This is why I cringe at cell phone manufacturers selling cloud and AI features based on phone models because wtf you’re not running that cloud on that handset so why do you gatekeep the product behind that model? It can’t require that many resources, it’s a cloud app!

Left brain urging me to write “that’s a lie those are scissor switches”, right brain just going awwwwwwwwwwww

That’s it, I’m only using epoch from now on, that’s enough of your time zone shenanigans

Cloudorporate is confused!

Cloudorporate hurt itself in its confusion!

Run, Mongolia

Run for your lives

Poor Tux, it’s a rough life

You sure your laptop isn’t splitting graphics to an Nvidia DGPU? Usually it’s flawless unless I’m using Ubuntu specifically

I actually am okay with the appearance, but there is just way too much emphasis on doing things that the user base doesn’t care about, instead of actually fixing bugs with the product and solidifying it. Which, okay, I guess some folks are fine with that, but being the most popular distro, why try to drive so much innovation at the expense of stability?

I just revisited it a short while ago on hardware that had actual 16.04 compatibility confirmed by vendor back in the day and it was a battery hog and a call tracing dumpster fire on 23.10. Then I switch to Debian 12 and not a single problem. I don’t get it.

The Canonical cycle:

Canonical solves a problem nobody was experiencing or needed a resolution for

Canonical pushes problem resolution as a major component of Ubuntu

“Resolution” impacts Ubuntu use negatively

Users get the pitchforks

Canonical kind of mitigates the issue somewhat but not completely

Canonical goes back to thinking about problems nobody is having

Repeat ad nauseam
