But what if my army gets sad without me? What if I bring just some army? Ya know, in a travel carrier.

Yeah you might be on vacation when it happens

What the fuck is a vacation?

You’re right, I should not have lumped them in with boomers. That was a last minute and before submission to address the Marjorie’s/Karen’s of the world. Please accept my apologies.

Only boomers and some Gen-x believed it. The rest of us grew up with the Internet and an ever-increasing feeling of betrayal and hopelessness.

Edit: Modified the language around Gen-X per the reply below.

If it’s anything like ChatGPT, it’ll probably try to gaslight itself into thinking something that never existed, exists and can do the exact thing you’re trying to do!

Come back and let us know what you find out, please. If it’s a malicious distro, let us know the site so we can warn others.

hitting them square in the pocketbook.

I’ve been saying this for years to people, but it won’t happen, sadly, if history is anything to go on. The average consumer will always take the easiest path to convenience, even foregoing their leverage as a consumer, if given the choice for a simple monetary resolution.

If the average consumer had the fortitude to resist getting something they wanted now for better pricing/functionality, a lot of these businesses wouldn’t be doing the bullshit they have been doing with price hikes and enshittification. We are simply not a society that can live without these conveniences.

Those that try to “vote with their wallet” (econ 101, baby) know the power the consumer has if principled enough to give up convenience for leverage. Unfortunately, as long as someone can throw money at a problem and call it fixed, it will be difficult to pressure companies to do anything to improve their product. I’d love to be proven wrong.

Hell, maybe one silver lining of the impending tariff disaster is the consumer will be unable to afford it as stuff we need gets too expensive for the stuff we want.

And if he was paying attention and not snorting cocaine off a cyber truck’s ass, he’d have seen how tRump treats those around him, especially when the other takes the spotlight. Musk is doing the “fuck around” part and will soon feel the “find out” part once tRump no longer needs him.

Who does he think he is? He’s like the kid that teamed up with the bullies and now tries to speak as though he has the same authority, lol. He’s a mere magazine cover away from being shit-canned, as others who took tRump’s limelight away discovered. I’ll have popcorn ready to watch Musk get the Banon treatment!

UNSTOPPABLE!!

“This is nonion your business!”

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

Hey, I’m you and you’re me! I also just turned 40 in late September. Happy belated birthday, ya old fart!

To turn away from the “go hard onto Linux” tropes, try Windows Update Blocker (WuB). I’ve been using it to pick when my machine, as well as friends and families machines, update. Every month or so, you need to turn updates back on by using it and updating the OS, but it can be scripted to enable/disable updates at any time, if you don’t feel like thinking about it. It not only blocks if but protects from reenabling updates by that fucking medic service that will try to turn it back on when the machine is idle.

Kinda hard to cum without an erection, though, right?

There was a show, Human Giant I think it was called, which was like skit comedy. Aziz Ansari (spelling?) was in it. In the skit, he was talking about rollerblading and I lost it when, with a straight face, he said, “the hardest thing about rollerblading is telling your parents’ you’re gay.”

In use Voyager for my daily driver here on this account and Jerboa for my NSFW account.

I love Voyager for the “hide read posts” and the some of the sitting and layout stuff. I like Jerboa for the erections!

I remember this kind of shit when I worked at Caterpillar. I always assumed the requested permission messages just disappeared into the void. Of course, I was IT so my requests were usually asking for more than they’d want their help desk staff to have.

One use-case for me has been converting code from a language I know to a language I don’t. Usually, just small snippets. The code is usually full of holes, but I’m good enough with the logic to duct tape those puppies!

Glad you’re still here with us!
