That’s fucked up. I would not do this for fun.

Well my mom uses linux without any scripting skills at all. I was just saying that this thing goes as far as you want to take it.

If I understand what fancyzones is, I think people make plugins for gnome and kde that are like Fancyzones. There’s also entire window managers that are like scriptable fancyzones. I’m talking about tiling window managers like awesomeWM and i3. They’re pretty technical but some people really like them.

For me, there was just less friction with games and Windows was just not annoying enough to make the full time jump. But those have both moved against Windows in the past few years.

Microsoft is finally going to force me to switch to linux. I’m ready, I just didn’t think it would ever actually happen.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Robinson said he doubts that China can sustain its economic prosperity as long as it keeps a repressive political system.

Yet another westoid claiming China is on the brink of collapse.

“There’s many examples in world history of societies like that that do well for 40, 50 years,” Robinson said by phone. “What you see is that’s never sustainable … The Soviet Union did well for 50 or 60 years. Argentina was one of the richest countries in the world at the time of the First World War. What our theory predicts is that’s a transitory situation.”

Now I guess we can acknowledge that the Soviet Union was quite a success until the arrival of the god damned Pizza Hut. 60 years of the USSR would be 1977 and if these burgerbrain economists are willing to say maybe up to 60 years, I believe they know in their hearts it was a bit longer than that.

I used some formula from physics to calculate my IQ and I have an IQ of 2 million which is pretty incredible. And that’s just physics.

Can’t say I’m surprised

Just start a competing grocery store so you can get lower prices at Kroger’s

I am a bit over my head on what ActivityPub is capable of, but I imagine you could use ActivityPub, for something like a GitHub clone, to distribute git commits pertaining to AGPL licensed source code across federated instances of the application. So I think it is not necessarily the case that everything on the fediverse is available for anyone to use for any reason. The hexbear terms of service forbids anyone to “Use the Services to harvest, collect, gather or assemble information or data regarding the Services or users of the Services except as permitted in these Terms or in a separate agreement with Hexbear”. Of course anyone can violate the rules, especially if they bury it in the plausible deniability of a LLM. But should we just accept that and lay the user data out for big tech companies to leverage?

Would be a shame if he were to slip into a downward spiral

Please read Manufacturing Consent to learn why DW, Fox, Pro Publica, and AP News articles seem like they’re written by the same people. A very short summary is that only people that subscribe to viewpoints compatible with owners’ viewpoints are allowed to write for these organizations. If you’re familiar with the wealth concentration in the US, you know that the owners are a pretty small group of people and they share certain interests that inform their viewpoints.
