That is why we do food prep. We will control the sodium. We will control the fat. We will control the horizontal and vertical.

You do not need to use the same Distro as me, Or the same DE as me. That is the beauty of it! Choice & freedom. I live in the terminal. I don't expect anyone that is not interested to do the same. The more people that use Linux the better it will become for all of us. It belongs to us!!

Today, You do not and should not need to be an engineer to use Linux as your daily driver. You do not need to be an aspiring sysadmin to use a Desktop Environment. For the same reason that my grandma should not need to learn PowerShell to use Windows.

Linux users claim they want mainstream adoption, but here's why they don't They just won't admit it

Old time Linux nerd here. Running since 2001. It is my longstanding opinion that the Gatekeepers aren't yet that knowledgeable. They're just failing at trying to impress the ones that are. If you are sick of corporate controlled OS, give Linux a try. Play with a couple different distros.

"Parents decide act" will ruin personal computing: my opinion on HR8250 YouTube video by Louis Rossmann

The HR8250 OS ID "age" verification issue is starting to get attention. I like Louis Rossmann's approach.

Sheltered workshops: the controversy over disability subminimum wages YouTube video by The Christian Science Monitor

It is not that fucking hard. Increase the pay or shut it down. The idea of subminimumwage for people with disabilities is fucking gross! This should not be controversial.

If the argument is that the benefit doesn't come from the money. Then start advocating for social groups.

Imagine you're about to rob a bank. You have guns and a plan and you're steeling your nerves. And then, as you're about to do it, a giant smiling alien approaches. It picks you up. "Gloo bork blag bleep!" the alien exclaims as it kisses your forehead.

This is what it is like to be a cat.

@diinki.imp.studio I understand now! I had no idea. My god!

Aww, cute litta fella snackin on deez nuts.

Anyone that thinks they have the authority to tell me when i'm allowed to pee is a tyrant.

Thank you getrandom(). The water in the entropy pool is warm.

When the hell is trump going to stop all these fucking trans people from raising prices and making health care and housing and education unaffordable and starting wars and not paying us enough to live and preventing us from retiring and constantly breaking the ice cream machine at McDonalds -MAGA

Happy Bicycle Day! One day early, i guess. Can we just legalise it? I'm an adult. But, I can't take half a tab of LSD without risking serious jail time.

I was not saying the sails pitch drives adoption..

But, People were 100% going, "Guys. Computer? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about Computer. So that we're not left behind!!"

That is more of a capitalism problem.

I do believe this is a bubble. That the promises of AI are not achievable with the current approach. But the fact that LLMs can do this is one hell of a sign that there is something to it. I don't think research and progress will stop because there is a lot of slop. The cats out of the bag.

Yes, thank you! The Gartner Hype Cycle.

The same with personal computers themselves. I remember folks saying how it was stupid to trust a computer that crashes every 3 hours to do their work. They were not wrong to be critical of the actual capabilities for that time, considering the hype.

This always happens. It's the Gartner Hype Cycle. That is why the .com crash happened. Not because the internet was a dead end. But because they were promising the 2020 internet in 1999.

To play devil's advocate. How many times did you hear how important it is for folks to learn to use a computer. Or that everyone needed to know BASIC. Or the push for girls to become software developers.

I see an emerging technology. Over hyped now, yes. But it is only going to improve in time.

Yes, He was well liked once upon a time. I was hoping he would snap awake to what was happening. and at least align with the lincoln project folks. Like how many of my conservative friends did. Eventually it was obvious he was in full support of fashests. It's Disappointing.

No, Oddly enough. Before he went full out fascist, transphobic, anti DEI, etc. He was regularly attending and speaking at LinuxFests. Mingling with folks. He appeared at the time to be a genuinely nice guy. His reporting was focusing on digital freedom and Linux. It all changed during covid.

"sounds like a big deal if you don't understand software engineering, which is most people, including me."

Y'all, this guy has NO IDEA what he is talking about!

Sure, there is a lot of AI hype. But he is so frustratingly wrong about so many things.

Yep! I packed my own equipment in their original boxes. Movers got weird about it because they didn't know if anything was already broken. I have the original boxes and fitted fome. But, i'm supposed to trust a stoned 19 year old to pack it for me. They don't know what any of it is!

If you are not supporting the EFF It is time. @eff.org

Our fascist state is aiming to force you to register every computing device you use with a federal agency. Scan the contents of your phone and computer without a warrant. And follow your every move!

How Much of Linux is Antifa? YouTube video by The Lunduke Journal

Here he is asking his viewers to help him catalog Anti Fascist members of the Open Source community. So that he can turn them in as "terrorists" to Law Enforcement. (At t=688s)

This is who Lunduke is now :(

Fuck Josh Gottheimer!

I really don't think folks are seeing how bad this is. Verification of your age requires verification of your identity! This is a framework to monitor everything you do and think. No anonymity, no privacy, no freedom. Confidential sources in journalism, that's over!

Verification of your age requires verification of your identity! What do you suppose the "other purposes" are? NSPM-7. FUCK THIS SHIT!!!

1984 shit.
