Look, FOSS comes in two flavors.

Either all the contributor profile pics are flash lit smiling photos of middle aged bearded guys with glasses standing in an office, or they’re anime girls.

I love shorts.

They’re comfy and easy to wear.

This is absolutely not the case, and has historically never BEEN the case.

Think of your computer like an old CD player. If you own the player and the CDs you can play them. Forever. NOBODY else gets a say. You can’t be stopped. That’s what ownership MEANS. It means YOURS. Not right now - not a license - not until you don’t get a security update - not “as long as you don’t try to play CDs we don’t like on it”… it means until either you or it physically DIE.

This is how EVERY SINGLE THING you own should be, and every single instance where that is NOT the case is one where something has been stolen from you - every bit as much as if I walked into your house, picked it up, and walked out with it. If my taking something from your house and walking out pisses you off, so should this. I have no idea how to make “I have paid money for something to then have it taken away from me” more anger inducing than it should already be.

He’s saying you can take down 100 data centers…

Or one CEO.

Not that I’D ever advocate or cheer for violence, no sir.

Lithium recycling has never been the problem. The problem is most EVs are new, and people aren’t buying enough of them, so there isn’t enough capacity of old batteries in the system yet for business to profit from building the plants to do the recycling. And now some stupid orange asshole has been sabotaging production, so we’re not going to hit that tipping point for decades.

Gobo?

Spoken like someone who doesn’t understand the fighting is PART of the joy.

Because calling them Nazis doesn’t affect them - they’re proud of it. I don’t particularly care about being ACCURATE with those pieces of trash, and my attempts to do so would only be taken by them as a sign of weakness. It’s about getting to them psychologically and showing them I don’t respect them in a language they can understand. I get that the language is offensive to people who are not them as well, but it’s like a gun - it’s not just about the weapon, it’s about who you point it at. If it gets to Nazi bastards, I’m going to use it.

Actually, since there was no autism before that, autism is Pluto’s intentional punishment to humanity for daring to discover it. It’s an attack. Commence war on Pluto.

Do you have Super Monkey Ball for the Nintendo GameCube?

Given wealth inequality growing in every country, expect this trend to continue.

Higher prices for everything as more and more products become luxury only goods, and everything else is for the peasantry.

That’s Elon “Why would we need lidar? Humans don’t use lidar, they just use their eyes and there’s no reason technology could possibly improve on human vision” Musk?

Ugh… He’s not impressed with the gasoline free, infinitely superior propulsion technology - he’s impressed by how much the in vehicle systems are like smartphones.

I threw up a little. We’re never escaping this bullshit.

If it’s vertically infinite you can never get high enough to put a piece in so the game never starts

That’s a HORIZONTAL infinity game.

“Next X-Box.”

Imagine changing your business plans to react to the gas escaping from a bloated corpse.
