Name a time when people wanted to work. Did slave owners want to work?

Everybody’s like : we need to build more apartment complexes and duplexes. No, we need to outlaw landlords.

There always will be a divide between those who use technology as a means to an end and those whose end is technology.

If you think I’m taking a “side” with that statement you’re the latter.

If you think that’s a dig at anyone it’s probably because you think people care what phone you have, or that I’m trying to sneakily insinuate that you’re not doing anything by installing another flavor of Linux so you can get your dock to line up perfectly the way you want it to.

If you think people care what phone you have it’s probably because you know people who do.

If you think you have to be around those people I’m here to tell you I don’t know anyone who cares about what phone I have.

So you’re challenging me to tell you what I think of you doing what I suggested?

Sure. Like if you enjoy doing that stuff it would be totally worth it I’m sure.

There is a particular kind of person who prefers setup and config to doing anything with a computer, and it’s hard to hide my disdain for that sometimes but that doesn’t make it wrong. It also doesn’t mean I’m doing anything with a computer. We’re biased towards ourselves, I get that.

Like, we just put a dog down so I was thinking about my own mortality and how much time I have in life. It’s not a lot, and the idea of making sure an email address is functioning today sounds like hell.

I’m leaving the original statement up because I don’t think enough people walk back hasty statements online.

It sounds like a win win for you and I like that for you.

I print a few exceptional photos a month to save.

I sell my time for like $30/hr. How much money would self hosting cost me vs a data leak where my information was actually used? I have a feeling it’s more.

It’s a nice hobby and I’m sorry I ruffled feathers with my opinion.

You should live the life you imagine you’re protecting with all this security theater.

If you’ve reversed autocorrect’s decision on something, it will remember it on iPhone. For example, I reversed “Lol” back to “lol” and after that it autocorrected all of them to lower case. You can reverse it I think, it doesn’t affect me much.

Ooh, or behind the scenes email drama from staff!

If you purchased them from the federal government they won’t have hard drives.

This is great, but I’ve increased output by replacing the windows user with a tech-illiterate person showing a screenshot of Ubuntu saying “I’m so glad my grandson switched me to Linux”.

Slavery is allowed if you’re in prison, so that takes care of the work part.

Don’t worry babe, I’m gonna start my big project just as soon as I get my computer set up exactly, perfectly, precisely the way I want it. I need to reach out to others to accomplish this. Once I have the perfect Linux experience I will be able to start my big project and then you will see my true value.

I tried buying a used thinkpad and putting Linux on it, but then it stopped charging correctly after 2 weeks. So I went back on adhd meds and got a new job and turned my life around.

What if they said “US is Most Drilled Location for Oil for 6th Consecutive Year”. Would that be more honest? The US isn’t gaining from the oil being drilled, the corporations that identify as US corporations are sucking up all that profit and being subsidized to do it.

I used to be able to eat spicy foods. After I got Covid everything tastes 5 times as spicy. Weird wild stuff.

Fair point. No dog in the fight over here.

What I haven’t seen mentioned is that the structure of the vehicle depends on the integrity of the exterior, if Tesla’s own marketing was true. So, if it rusts easily, isn’t it more likely to be structurally unstable during impact?
