Even the politicians believe in the zero sum lie. They think that others must suffer more in order for their lives to get better.

But I thought that everythings computer?

It is crazy to me the years of recession fears under Biden as prices kept going up and now as Trump keeps banging his tariff hammer, we’re still in “recession fears” territory.

No, he specifically told us that he did not have a series of mini strokes.

Well they stopped giving him color pictures since the last time he just took a photo and tweeted it to show the world how bigly smart he is.

But that’s what I mean, right? I found a guide on how to edit a config file, then after I’ve forgotten how it went, I try to run the client that does exactly the thing I want. I don’t have it installed, so I must not need to, but good luck finding the original guide. Idk, I just spend so much time feeling confused trying to get my dumb little project homeserver to do what I want.

My biggest problem with Linux is that there are 8 ways to solve any problem. Some of these are distro specific, and all of them are THE definitive way to do it depending on who you ask. This comes up for me most when I want to make a change to something or do it again on a new machine.

For adding another network drive, for example I think oh it’s called samba right and open the terminal and type in samba help. The response is: command not found do you want to install “samba-dc”? Okay so not samba. Oh that’s right I edited a file. Now was it smb.conf? No wait maybe it was fstab.

It is getting easier as I get more familiar, but I have to wrap my head around every new thing that I want to do. It’s no wonder people don’t have the patience.

He’s going to go a buy a Tesla tomorrow? I’m pretty sure he didn’t even keep the wrapped cybertruck that was gifted to him by those manosphere podcasters a while back.

Don’t forget lucky that the officers didn’t start giving conflicting commands. Yelling “freeze” and “put your hands up” then shooting and later claiming “oh I thought he was reaching for a weapon, I feared for my life.”

Tag corner is for my face, adjacent corner for drying my hair, then the rest of my body gets the other end of the towel.

Anyone on Loops? I tried signing up a few days ago, but the sign up page wasn’t working. Now the landing page says they aren’t accepting new users.

And personally, I believe that any community that pretends to be idiots, are.

Just like with some of the 4chan idiots though, there is little functional difference between being a true believer nazi and merely pretending to be one.

Anyone have tips on how to find local mutual aid groups? The only one that I am currently a part of is a buy nothing group on… Facebook.

It’s generally easier for the layperson to pay a gym membership than it is to have the upfront cost of a barbell set and coordinating a schedule with their neighbor who owns a treadmill.

I don’t want to sound too pro-corporate, I just don’t want to fault others when they fall for the veneer of a “cohesive product.” It takes a lot of work to organize a community project and why it’s so special when they do come together.

Insane, but modern technology makes it much more feasible today than ever before.

I might have to take you up on that code. I’m currently on Torchr, and it’s… not great.

Yeah but the rest of human history didn’t involve the threat of nuclear annihilation always looming on the horizon.
