Seriously, I do my best to live by Stasi rules when it comes to my political opinions: Never say it in public, never say it over technology, never say it to a group of people, and never write it down.

Dude, it was him against Dr. Oz. At the time, anything was better than a celeb snake oil salesman who lives in New Jersey. I still think Fetterman is a better pick than Oz or McCormick, but I am disappointed by his voting record.

The old kenwood car cd players had an “att” button that instantly dropped the volume to background noise. It was fucking awesome and I used it all the time. I want that button on everything that makes noise.

Did scientists learn that by watching giraffes?

deez are the days of our lives.

A good Xfiles episode is a lot like a good TOS episode – campy and fucking ridiculous, but man is it a good time.

Dont worry… Scully will reason/explain/pseudoscience it away with the voiceover at the end.

Yeah, but Dude, fuck automatic One Drive.

I mean, it’s just common sense.

I tend to think that – for myself for sure but probably most other people – after a decade plus on Reddit, you’ve likely said and posted enough stuff that somebody could follow the breadcrumbs back to you. Theyd have to really want to and it would take a lot of reading your posts, but it could probably be done. Anonymity doesn’t exist without a vpn, and even then you’re probably still identifiable. Don’t say, post or do anything on the internet that youre not willing to defend/pay for in real life.

But I don’t have a self destruct button on my car. I don’t know anybody that does.

I still have the right, but it’s being routinely violated and not upheld by a supreme court that’s clearly in the tank.

Holy Christ, what are you guys doing on your phones to fuel this much paranoia? I have a constitutional right to privacy and i dont want my information/data (the very essence that makes me me) harvested and sold – for those reasons im opposed to most searches and i’ve never used biometrics. But the need to nuke my phone because a cop got it is so far from a necessity that I cant think of what im doing that I would need it.

Engagement bait. Here we are commenting on a lukewarm meme about a topic that most people dont give a flying fuck about.

Everybody always goes on and on about how great linux is for gaming pcs these days. I recently poked around online to see if my rtx5070ti would be supported and found a bunch of people facing issues, and that Mint and Ubuntu weren’t recommended.

I dont want the AI nonsense, and Windows/Microslop blows, but I want my new gaming laptop to work correctly for several years given the money I spent on it. I can’t see making the switch when the gpu support is so convoluted.

Ive had many Linux machines in the past, so that bums me out.

Edit: someone should make a webpage that automatically reads the hardware and specs of your windows machine and then creates a table of suggested distros. That table should also include “what you’ll lose” that shows which features will become lost or finicky. And it should also include direct download links.

If the goal is to have morons like myself adopt it, it needs to be basically fool proof and easy. Linux is much better and easier than it was in 2003, but that doesn’t mean it’s two-click easy.
