ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

but seriously, modern FOSS distros (yes, debian is modern, damnit!) are amazingly good. you have an exceptionally high probablility of switching and staying switched.

phew! good thing I still have a few 386sx AMI BIOS boards handy. no ones shopping around zero days on those anymore, right?

from the same comedy troupe that brought you last seasons blockbuster hit, “the sanctity of marraige” comes the sequel, “for everyone but you!”.

there was a mental word search, glitch in the matrix moment right at that point - read into that what you will, cuz these days all options are valid.

“insinuate” is absolutely the very best word, but publicly one has to walk the fine line between complicity and hair-on-fire alarm, and so “initiate” came out of her mouth.

for the record, I think we are past the face-melting stage.

from the video…

I think we need to be very cautious with the AI narrative where we are being lead to confuse mass surveillance with intelligence and by doing so initiate these corporate technologies into the core of our social and governmental institutions.

so voice typing, huh? not really sure it matters at this point. I use an open source keyboard, but my inputs go right into the OS of the worlds largest spy organization.

on the other hand… this is a great opportunity to hone your handwriting and memory skills.

surely its obvious by now - “bibi” just wants to solve the starving palestinian kid crisis with american bullets. gotta throw a tantrum so kind old uncle sam will feed more quarters into the genocide machine and keep those pesky Israeli elections at bay.

edit: from the article

US Representative Richie Torres (D-NY) wrote a message to Netanyahu on X, stating “If you are looking to undermine the bipartisanship of the US-Israel relationship, then release a public video attacking the Biden Administration, which, despite hysterical opposition from the far left, has held firm in support of Israel for eight months and counting.

hey, NY… you gonna do anything about this conflicted, homicidal piece of sh*t?

edit 2: regarding my comment on Torres - anyone unable to distinguish between hamas and an 8yo Palestinian kid is not fit for public office. and if they can, but choose violence on the kid, well f*ck them, “progressive” or not. when people show you who they are, believe them.

LMDE - the emergency escape hatch for mint. gotta love the forethought.

understood. tinycore is a live installable distro, so you can still test it on bare metal.

pick the GUI flavor and kick the tires for a while.

the repos are browsable inside the package manager - I would imagine they are browsable outside as well, but I have never had cause to do so.

honestly, give tinycore a shot. fire it up in a VM and take a look around - it really is an amazingly useful distro.

I wonder… where will they end up storing 29 tons of cocaine? 🤔

so shall we assume that convicted felon drumpf was, at the very least, informed of this operation between truckoads of “hamburders”?

shall we also asume that anti-vaxers everywhere will eschew their murderous complicity in what was clearly “gubbermunt propaganda to control our freedumbs”?

The U.S. military is prohibited from targeting Americans with propaganda, and Reuters found no evidence the Pentagon’s influence operation did so.

yeah, and I have some beachfront property in Florida to sell you. quick sale required.

fscking hell, man.

have you, and I say this from a place of concern, been living under a rock? there are deep time reasons for the current state of the region and most of them are a direct result of imperial powers (UK, US, et al.) sticking their self interested cod pieces into other peoples sand.

perhaps I am misunderstanding your comment, but the apparent level of reductive “us vs them” ideation is not helpful.

some superheros sport email clients in their back pockets. 👍

65536 levels of nested goodness, bae-bae!

if the install had finished and the installer was simply reading the flash drive to clean itself up, unmount filesystems and reboot, then chances are you are fine. However, as a personal rule I never allow an installation to go into production if there were any unexpected anomalies during installation. its just not worth the risk.

sigh. here we go again…

agreed on the batterygate thing. ars did a pretty decent writeup on the reasons behind the CPU throttling.

my issue with Apple has always been their… “its magic!” bullshit. that marketing leads to more and more e-waste as other manufacturers follow the sucessful Apple marketing trend, because, you know… its NOT actually magic and batteries are consumable items.

“Ford, how am I supposed to operate my [insanely expensive] digital watch now [that the battery is broken]?” guess i’ll just get another one!

The only way to circumvent this problem is to invent a battery that doesn’t age. The person who does that is going to be a _very _ rich dude.

or how about easily replacable batteries. yes, they can be designed in a sleek, apple-y ergonomic way. but its much easier and more profitable to make battery replacements a phone killing endeavour. this applies to other manufacturers as well.
