Another one bites the dust.

I admit it, I once assumed Elon was a genius.
(events happen)
Okay, not a genius, but a good businessman.

Okay, a bad businessman, a good PR person.

Okay, a bad PR person, but not a Nazi.

Well fuck, he’s a Nazi supporting conspiracy theorist.

God damn, if I was that wrong about one person. I’m just gonna stop having opinions about famous people. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

We’ve all done it, I’m sorry if my joke wasn’t apparent as well. Text is dumb.

And no sense of humor over what was clearly a joke comment. Icing on the cake.

Now I believe you now, you do use Nano.

Prefers Nano over Vim? Why’d you have to go and commit a felony. Now I can’t take anything you say seriously. Damnit.

Be grateful to be a slave. A slave is alive. You could be dead. Remember that you exist to create labor but it is someone else’s job to claim the value of that labor.

Sorry, you were born into the wrong family, now please accept the status quo and do not revolt, rebel, or look into history and how the lower classes have handled power imbalances in the past.

Just…

$ sudo su  

…bam, no more sudo. And likely no more system within a few sessions 🫣

Solution? Just don’t make mistakes. Ezpz. /s

Yeah the search tool isn’t the greatest, tho I expect third party maps of communities will spring up at some point.

Thanks.

I have no critique of anyone’s preference. I joined the linux board looking for discussions on novel ways to use the system.

Since I haven’t found that here, I thought I’d add a comment to see if it’s just me. And I wanted to check to see if there is an alternative forum for such conversations.

Maybe a shell, bash, scripting, or man page community. Idk.

Is it just me that dislikes when packages are mentioned instead of a series of terminal commands? I don’t want to install a package. Why would I want to rely on a package and it’s maintainer when I could write a shell script using the tools native to my OS?

Is this unreasonable or just unpopular?

Oh I know, I just wanted a copy too.

Deleting posts from the user PoV was the only way I could come up with to force the API to show them to me.

This is similar to when I heard reddit was doing the API lockdown, I wrote an automation bot over the weekend that self-destructed my subreddit and the entire post history. The bot also automatically downloaded and archived all of the content on my local machine.

It was annoying because at first I couldn’t get access to older posts since at the time reddit had changed their API to only show the first X posts (100 or 1,000 or whatever). So I told my bot to delete the posts as it archived them so as I deleted content, reddit had no choice but to populate the page with the older posts.

And that’s how I archived my subreddit. Reddit banned me two days later for automation, lol. I did not break any of the reddit or reddit api ToS during this process but I guess I upset someone.

Wow, insane. I’m currently reading “There Are No Electrons” written by a member of the Amdahl family. In the opening pages he talks about his siblings and ascendents and talks briefly about Amdahl corp then in the opening to this article this engineer got their start at Amdahl.

Fun coincidence I wanted to share. If you want to read a book about science that sets aside reverence for science and reads more like a Sunday comic, check out the book I mentioned. Especially fun if you’re trained in electronics, tho the author specifically states the book is NOT for those trained in science, haha.

Boop beep I got delete. .

And the weapon is ideas? If a society has to shield itself from ideas to prevent revolt, then perhaps that society has bigger problems. Patching the hole as a united bipartisan front, when the ONLY things that receives united bipartisan support is corporate interests, kinda gives their hand away. They’re doing this as a desperation move to prevent societal erosion and more importantly, loss of power in media. I think it’s too late.

Seems like an upheaval, electorally or otherwise, is at hand and this is a desperation move. I don’t expect the patching to prevent the rain, but who knows.

My interpretation, open to being wrong.

They outlawed Fox News?

Don’t pretend this is about disinformation.

Fox News is disinformation peddler numero uno.

This is about the seizure of media outlets that don’t parrot pro-capitalist propaganda.

But it’s too late, the majority of each generation millennial and later is anti-capitalist. The critique media will simply change form.

Hahaha. I love it. Fuck closed source hardware gatekeepers.

Nice to see them groveling for performance.

Kneel!!

C’mon, I can joke. Such a cathartic paragraph to read. Intractable cunts.

A reporter asked a very very long question in a press conference 2-3 years ago. It has become a quaint F1 copypasta due to this. The author took that quote and replaced all of the Formula 1 references with Linux references.

It’s obscure as hell but funny to encounter as a fan of both.

I am pretty sure the long question is used in Netflix’s Drive to Survive series in one of the seasons with Sebastien Vettel. Good show even for a non-F1 fan, but I admit I am biased.

As a huge Formula 1 fan and daily Linux user for a few decades now, while also being quite stoned… this fusion broke my brain, haha, well written. I could hear the words in the voice of Lauda, Seb, and Rossberg.

Pastor Maldonado I would assume is a windows user.
