Its even worse, selling your body for someone else’s profit. I was just recently in a weird knickknack store that had taxidermy peacocks, butterflies, gems, minerals, etc… But one of the ‘etc’ was a human skeleton that the person donated their body to science in early 1900’s only to end up being for sale for the low price of $9,000 after the medical organization they donated their body to was either done with it, or the organization dissolved, or who knows what…

Pretty shitty that its legal to sell people’s fucking remains for a profit…

Won’t that just make the libraries attempt to buy more content to replace the unusable content? I say attempt because they might not have enough funding to actually replace anything anymore, but who knows.

If we do live in a simulation, can I be taken out by a corrupt memory allocation, please?

As a society we should start taking the right wing messaging further to hurt the people initially spreading the messaging.

In this example, looking at that picture:

“People should boycott the business because they don’t provide parking! Those assholes don’t need my business!”

Man, look at those good jeans…

Proton isn’t for profit? Huh TIL. Anyway, they both support Trump, so both aren’t great. Make of that what you will, sliding scale of ethics and all that…

Sooo… Maco? Or are we reserving that only for the big guy?

It didn’t get enough attention or make enough money, so Canonical dropped it. Its still on life support and slowly having some features added by the the open source community under the name ubports, but its slow going (they just updated the entire codebase from Ubuntu 16.04->18.04 and most recently 20.04) and not the best approach in my opinion, as i think every app has to be specifically developed for ubports, unlike postmarketOS where you can install anything in the repo. It also uses halium which is a translation layer for the android kernel that allows rhe Linux side to interact with hardware, since a lot of the drivers to make these phones work, aren’t mainlined.

Also like any project like this, device support is severely lacking (especially in the US).

Though admittedly, I didn’t realize you could get fairphone in the US now, and that it might work on us bands. So ubports on fairphone 5 might be good, dunno.

Sadly the CEO of Proton turned out to be not a great guy.

Design a Linux phone. So sick of google and android. Currently looking at Fairphone 6 in the US as postmarketOS just got initial support, still need cellular, WiFi, camera to be functional, but considering it just came out a few months ago, pretty impressive.

Sounds like a quick way to make half a billion dollars 😅

Someone should just re-make all the products google killed off and by the end you’d have a competitor to google. Literally no thought needed to have a business plan or model, they’ve already killed off everything people love, lol.

Kinda seems like he does the opposite, but I haven’t been personally checking when his cronies sell. He seems to say some bullshit to tank a market then buy cheap knowing it’ll go back up, because taco.

A dump and pump, if you will. Which is very fitting for 'ol Donnie.

My favorite story about best buy is in the early 2000’s, a family member gifted me a $20 gift card to best buy, which unbeknownst to them, I had stopped shopping at because it got too expensive and I started buying from newegg instead. Anyway, I walk in and am thinking 'well I don’t really need anything big right now, like a full PC, laptop, etc. Maybe I’ll just get a DVD or something."

Even with a $20 gift card, Best buy prices were so marked up, they were either still more expensive, or the same price as other stores. I think other stores were selling DVD’s at like $15 (not new-releases) and best buy was $35. I walked out and never ended up buying anything. I’m shocked they’re still around to be honest.

I’m not sure I would agree for arch if the OP wants low maintenance. I’ve never run it myself, but the way I’ve heard arch described is the further you go without regular updates the more likely you are to have a problem when you do update.

Hah, I randomdly picked this screen name, never seen paper moon either! Just looked it up, seems Interesting, added it to the queue.

Dark had a planned ending, it was 3 seasons and then done.

The Netflix TV show Dark. Holy hell. I missed SO much the first time. If you haven’t seen this show do yourself a favor and watch it, the amount of detail is crazy, and the casting is top notch. Watch it in German with English subtitles though, the English dubbing is really, really horrendous.

I watched idiocracy at home a year or 2 after it came out, and I hated it because i felt like it beat you over the head with the message, like yeah I get it, I don’t need to watch an hour more of this!

…then I rewatched it after our handling of covid and January 6 insurrection… Thought to myself “yep… Thats how the future plays out…”

If you watched it now for the first time? In 2025? Fucking hell. I hate this timeline.
