- Comment on Anon owns nothing and is unhappy 2 days ago:
When companies stopped being able to actually make anything new, they then choose to find new ways to extract profit from the customer. Far cheaper than expending money on R&D, retooling, etc. They all decided to become landlords of the worst kind, squatting on their tech and extracting rent while ensuring the rest of us own nothing.

- Comment on Why are people so rude on Reddit compared to the Fediverse? 3 days ago:
We have the same problems reddit does. It’s just that it’s a smaller userbase and downvoted comments don’t disappear here like they get pushed down on reddit. So you don’t get downvoted as much, but your controversial or unpopular take remains visible for opposing opinions to attack. And yeah, there are mini-brigades here too. Make a comment about a subject that has importance to a particular instance and you get insta-downvoted multiple times, but your post will probably recover as the rest of the groups view the conversation.

Not many cars are worth that.

Ugh. Cheaper to start with one half-fixed up than deal with that.

Aw, poor car. Probably cost too much to rebuild.

‘72 Bronco. Wish I still had it. They go for stupid money these days.

Alpha Centauri was the shit. I played the heck out of that.

I’ve seen some videos of his act. IMO he’s not very funny, his comedic style is mostly the one where it’s shitting on everything. So it’s not surprising to see him picking a situation like this and shitting on it.

Look at RFK. Shipped off to private schools and spent plenty of that time getting kicked out and transferred to other private schools because he was a dick and on drugs.

He’s a comedian.
Also, there’s no place for people to pull over.
- Comment on That's the feeling. 1 week ago:
Hardware rarely seems to be the issue with major distros. I have had zero trouble with hardware for years now with a big distro like Ubuntu. Some of the smaller or lightweight distros? Absolutely, a mixed bag of hammers not knowing what will work. Usually wireless internet, but sometimes it’s something weird like an NVMe not working or some USB driver.
Software, OTOH is a really big problem, and software controlling hardware, for instance gaming gear like a joystick/throttle setup, RGB gear or pwm pumps for cooling, is nowhere near as comprehensive or user friendly, if it exists at all; and of course plenty of games and other windows/mac only software doesn’t exist for Linux or might work in something clunky like Wine.
Linux can’t do it all, but devs have little incentive to make things linux compatible. Why deal with the headache of trying to get their software to work on a bunch of different distros when Windoze and Mac are still working fine.

If anything Trump was trying to prevent the change away from the petrodollar standard. That “currency” allows the US to run up debts because nobody wants the dollar to collapse and wreck everything traded in USD.

Fair, yet you do point out that it was only a suspicion and we had no real info.
Nonetheless, I’m glad the ‘verse and mods put a stop to the images. If it wasn’t a just a nuisance it was potentially bad.

NFTs were awesome. They took a lot of money from people who plainly had too much of it.
