Linux Mint isn’t perfect, but at least it’s not constantly trying to steal my shit or force something on me that I don’t want.

Good. Can every other company please do this too??

I know this has nothing to do with my home computer, but this just further affirms my decision to switch to Linux earlier this year.

Those were very interesting reads! Thanks for sharing.

“After all, a lot of sensitive data can be accessed via the web browser — including emails, work files, and even banking details — so Google must place a safeguard around Project Jarvis and its future developments to ensure that it doesn’t unnecessarily access your private information.”

Narrator: They did NOT place any safeguards around the project.

Thank goodness for Linux.

Wait until they hear about cell phones.

It got bad several years ago, which is when I permanently jumped ship to DDG. It’s nowhere near as good as Google used to be, but on the other hand, it’s also nowhere near as bad as Google is now.

Mitt Romney says “Hi.”

Guidance counselors. One of them tried to convince my parents that I was on drugs…in 4th grade. Turned out that I had an undiagnosed mental disorder.

The sad thing is that most people won’t even give a damn.

I live in a “first past the post” country that forces a two-party system and penalizes voting your conscience unless it aligns with one of those parties. While there may be flaws in Ranked Choice Voting that could emerge in fringe cases, it is so obviously superior to our current system that it is hard for me to worry too much about the nuance of how it might not be 100% perfect 100% of the time. Any (democratic) system is better than what we have now.

I assume this is a version of Apples To Apples that’s just loaded with innuendo and double entendres? Because if so, that’s hilarious and I need a copy.

Well, it took them 60 years to make Pearl Harbor…

Edit: Thank you, kind stranger!

Retroactively justifying the existence of vanity plates.

I remember when I used to be able to find dedicated message boards for bands that I liked. Now I’m lucky if there’s a subreddit where it’s just a bunch of people submitting poorly drawn fan art of the band.

Another day, another moment of being thankful for my dedicated .mp3 player.
