Have the day four years death of freedom, liberty, and prosperity you voted for, Americans.

Toys R Us. No contest.

It’s James Gunn, so it will be good.

You ever hear that saying…

Thanks, Obama Biden.

This is the one gigantic, glaring problem with Wayland. “The most secure software is the software you can’t use” is not a philosophy I support. Accessibility should always be a first class citizen for mission critical components like window managers.

What’s the expression? If someone has physical access to your machine it’s no longer your machine.

They strike me as more of a “milk steak boiled over hard” kind of person.

Flatpaks make sense for atomic distros, too. It’s not always a matter of there being one right way to do things.

You answered your own question. Arch and Nix solve the same problem Flatpak solves, but by using better dependency management. Flatpak’s main proposition is built-in sandboxing and convenience, but if you’re on an “expert” oriented distro like Arch (btw), you probably don’t care as much about those “freebies.”

Tailscale is Canadian.

Is Enshitification a real word?

Yes ish

…it soon became evident that this net was cast too wide for any private agency. Not merely was my own mail opened, but the mail of all my relatives and friends—people residing in places as far apart as California and Florida. I recall the bland smile of a government official to whom I complained about this matter: “If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear.”

Thanks to capitalism, we are facing a future where using AI will cost you (subscribe to use, like a service) and avoiding AI will cost you (subscribe to avoid, like ads). Both sides of the equation will be monetized and we will all pay the price.

Oh, dear god. You’re right. Ha. That’s actually a very apt comparison.

I complain about J Edgar too much and forgot Herbert Hoover even existed, as I am sure history will forget about Biden.

Dear god, Hoover was a monster and a criminal. He is known in particular for how unprincipled he was. From casually violating human rights at a national scale to targeting civil rights leaders, to blackmail and terrorism, he established the playbook that modern totalitarians like Trump continue to abuse today.

Using Hoover and Biden in the same breath, let alone calling a monster like Hoover “principled” is beyond the pale.

Edit: Ignore this rant. I was thinking J Edgar Hoover, notorious leader of the BOI/FBI, not former president Herbert Hoover who was absolutely a forgettable milquetoast president like Biden. Though Biden didn’t murder and tear-gas our own unemployed veterans, so he does have that going for him.

I believe you have proved my point.

It has a negative connotation only for nazis and racists. For everyone else it has a clear, well defined meaning. Anyone who uses it as pejorative is a racist, nazi propagandist.

Honestly, I am tentatively very excited about this. Not because I support that nazi in any way whatsoever. I am excited because he stands to be a significant spoiler for the GOPs elections.
