Nice try, dad.

Was it more than a printer (that’s what I read about)?

Mafia boss found not guilty. Made an offfer the individual couldn’t refuse, finds judge.

What are the major advancements outlined in the wallpaper?

I’ve seen a wallpaper of linux commands before but this is ridiculous.

BLTG - bisexual language translation group

I have not seen the acronym written as GLBT in quite a long time.

I buy merchandise from video creators, do non-annual donations (1 is annual) and assume commission for affiliate links can happen in the background when I buy stuff.

I admit I mostly give back to bigger players (e.g. my OS creator), and less so to those who are just starting off that don’t see as much.

I demand control over my computing on my hardware. After I casually request media do not feel entitled to run anti-features without my permission.

I do think that hard effort to create works should be rewarded but I do believe ads have a cost - and it’s too damn high.

Like a dedicated ’Controversy’ section on Wikipedia but for the modern consumer/end user protection. This gonna’ be good.

If you ain’t using version control for your policy, you ain’t a real one.

I’ve only heard he streams the entirety other people’s work for a living, what are the journalists saying?

That’s good to hear. I assume people saying “ZFS” are usually referring to this OpenZFS (and usually not Oracle ZFS)?

How does it work before this release?

I was unaware of that phrase/book, you’re probably right.

I remember hearing about DRM on trains from a Louis Rossmann right to repair video (turns out he was talking about them).

“Delay, deflect, derail” needs it’s own wikipedia page (like Embrace, extend, and extinguish).

The government is supposed to be representing voters’ best interests and have a monopoly on force to enforce rules. We can’t trust anyone to decide for us what speech we can listen to. A government should have no say on restricting speech (sadly, even if that speech does cause harm to people in our LGBT family).

A business should not have power comparable to a government. You probably have to interact with the government to some degree, you shouldn’t have to interact with a specific business at all.

The voting system used is important. “Pick the one you want, most votes wins” sounds perfectly usable but it trends towards two main parties. There is undue pressure on the voter to choose the main party they dislike the least so avoid the main party they dislike the most. It gets worse the deeper we look at the “winner take all” (first past the post) voting system (used in the USA, UK).

I don’t know what an effective protest would look like but that’s probably the better option. People tend to get insulted or bored if you try to explain how their vote doesn’t really matter.

I didn’t mean to imply this has really happened, just the idea is old.

An oldie, but goldie.

“Sorry I can’t come to work, still gay”

People are free to out themselves as ignorant on Meta. Technology is getting crazy.
