It’s kind of complicated. I’ve used Linux since Slackware 7 and I still have issues with some drivers.

Sometimes you just already have the hardware. Sometimes the vendor says it’s compatible but it’s not, or you have to compile drivers from a CD. Sometimes it depends on the version of the kernel used. Sometimes it depends on the architecture. Sometimes conditions change and what’s supposed to be working doesn’t.

I don’t think the meme is blaming Linux, it’s just how it is for some people. Some are gonna distro hop, some are gonna compile their own kernel.

As someone that won’t drive a car and will not encourage big oil or big car, I’m also delightfully surprised by the somewhat strong presence of “fuck cars” communities on the fediverse, and I can only approve.

It’s the same gender than all machines, which is obviously feminine.

There’s no fixed rule for this but if a noun ends with a consonant it’s probably masculine and if it ends with a vowel it’s possibly feminine. Again, not a consistent rule and it will not work for everything, but if you must take a guess, this might help, or not.

Now this reminds me of Sebastian Marx and his videos on French. Like this one on pronunciation.

They are UNIX systems, they don’t need an entire team to be managed once installed and running.

I’m only half joking. It’s not UNIX but I’ve been working with “legacy” systems like IBM i mainframes, and those things don’t need much to run. Sure, you have to update the system and the software once every few months, manage backups, role switches, etc., but it can mostly be done by a few people. But yeah, systems like this were (are) insanely expensive so most of his budget probably went there.

Just in case you don’t know, unless it changed last time I checked, some organizations like Comptia didn’t allow computers with dual boot to be used to pass a cert exam.

It may not be intentional slop but it’s pretty much the definition of quantity over quality.

You look down on people driving a car they can’t repair themselves.

I look down on people driving a vehicle they can’t power themselves.

We are not the same.

As a city dweller without a car, headphones are part of the essentials when leaving.

✅ Keys

✅ Money

✅ Phone

✅ Headphones

And probably a backpack.

Not when the goal is to use the casinos to commit fraud and hide the money before running it to the ground. It’s much easier to run a business for a few years, over evaluate everything, pay employees like shit, not pay the contractors, funnel and siphon the money somewhere else, then eventually declare bankruptcy, making it nearly impossible for everyone he’s owing money to get paid. And you do the same thing with another casino/business/building.

Maybe I’m giving him too much credit. Maybe he’s really really a moron, but grifting seems to be the only type of work he’s ever done.
