“the” like it’s not a bi-partisan coalition…

SystemD has been such a frustration the last couple years with the wonderful simplicity and stability it used to provide managing a system completely out the door as its main development company (RedHat) has stopped giving any kind of a shit about being a positive force in the world. We all shoulda listened 10 years ago when the greybeards were telling us not to fall for an init system trying to do too much.

And remember. When someone older than you says “aspergers” they’re probably misinformed and they think they’re using the gentler more correct term. Be gentle in correcting them that we don’t prefer or use that term anymore because it was coined by a doctor who sent anyone he diagnosed with it to death camps. It is rooted in a hateful label and autism spectrum disorder is the gentler preferred term.

Trust me, its a way better way to get the point across and effect change. I speak from the personal experience of being 25 when I was told “oriental” is a racist and hateful term. I’d grown up all my life being told it was more respectful and kinder to call someone oriental than Asian. It was “common knowledge” throughout the northeast that entire time. But that wasn’t where I grew up

I encounter a lot of people both in person and online who think because they know something and its common knowledge in their communities that it must be common knowledge everywhere, and that just simply isn’t true. Change and information reaches different communities and different times. Everyone lives in social bubbles and the internet has done more to reinforce this than it has to deconstruct our bubbles

Using the internet without an adblocker is genuinely dangerous. Everyone really should be using uBlock Origin. Using a web browser that prevents uBlock Origin puts you in danger

It will change policy at many hospitals and outpatient facilities. You should hear fewer stories from american women being told by their doctor that they did not receive any pain management or local anesthetic, and were told “you may feel a mild pinch”

The ad company blocking an ad blocker is totally about security

Every American election for /years/ was coke v Pepsi. Not sure when it became coke v battery acid, nor why so many people are like “well I don’t like cola so maybe it will be okay to drink battery acid” and why it is that the Democrats still want to run coke when America has made it abundantly clear we’d like to be offered the chance to drink SOME CLEAN FUCKING WATER JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

I feel for the guy. Had health issues and needed money fast. I kinda don’t blame him. Like I get its disappointing and I also won’t blame people being mad at him, but I’m more mad at the overall system of how things get funding

I do not understand how Elizabeth Warren didn’t get more interest 4 years ago. She was clearly the best candidate and one who has the kind of broad appeal Bernie Sanders does. I think I’m at a point where my belief is that the bankers who are probably gonna vote Republican anyway who fund campaigns very explicitly don’t want someone like Sanders or Warren to be president

Nothing wounds me more than people saying if I cared I’d remember

Okay but does seeing the blender after the honeymoon period fill you with guilt about your lack of discipline to stick to something?

Which is a form of capital. Our politicians use that power for monetary profit. That shits just intrinsic to building an entire system with capitalism at it’s heart like we been doing since the late 60s

Third. It goes AWS, with about 50% of the market, Azure with around 40%, and then GCP

Yeah the pixel hardware is the only thing they make that I think is any good and I run graphene on mine

People miss that Adam Smith in his writing was arguing in favor of small enterprise and in favor of the government busting up monopolies

Power and benefit, also sometimes referred to with the term “capital”

SAFe SCRUM is a fucking scam. Anyone who proposes it as a solution to a problem is out of touch and doesn’t recognize a waterfall when they see one

We’re not accepting that. We’re actively arguing that people trying to do that are bad for society at large

People aren’t worried about buying into it. Were worried about our bosses buying into it. And they are. And our landlords buying into it. Because they want to

That falls under the subheading “however we can”
