Warren is a good example of someone who does care and I can only recommend her books on the matter. She came from the same place as everyone else and managed to get where she has been for a good while now.

If she’d been president 2016 or any time after that things would’ve looked a lot different, probably globally, I can almost guarantee as much.

Edit: and by different I mean a lot fucking better, to be clear.

There are a lot of dudes working for the fucking Russians too.

Your opinions are certainly grounded in reality at least. It’s refreshing to read something sensible for a change.

Sadly, I tend to agree. It’s not just the US either, this shit is very much a global issue.

If you think that’s the worst that’s going to happen I almost feel sorry for ya.

This is 1934 all over again, but even worse.

Thank you, sounds interesting.

I built a decent rig at the time 2 years ago for a 10 year old for less than 600€. Sure, some parts were used and it’s obviously no monster but he’s still using it daily. He’s learning how to upgrade it every time I have money for it, too.

You don’t have to buy all new Nvidia GPUs for $550 a piece to play games, ya know?

Also Finnish, and where I live it’s not only free to do as much laundry as you want up to three hours/day down in the basement but everyone in the house helps to keep the washers and dryers clean and functional as well as regularly clean the common areas together. As a 38 year old man it’s quite funny to hang around and clean with a bunch of older ladies, lol.

…and ofc that sweet unlimited internet for free is nice as well.

Nobody can escape having to share the planet with right-wing dumbass fuckwits either, but here we are.

You think Musk supports free speech in any way, form or shape?

Likewise, on both counts.

If by economy you mean some of us are needed to mop up hydraulic ass-juices at gunpoint I suppose you’re technically correct. At least they have to feed us, right?

…right?

The fuckwit is a danger to everyone.

Mint is on the other hand the most popular in the world

If you meet dicks everywhere you post maybe you should reflect a bit on why that might be. Just a suggestion.

This is almost 20 years ago today, so my memory is a bit hazy, but basically each student had an account with a certain amount of server space. I can’t remember the size, but given the amount of digital files we produced it would’ve been at minimum 500GB+/student. We could also “see” the account folder for everyone else in our class for file sharing and stuff.

There were also accounts/folders for each teacher which were used to turn in the primary copy of whatever assignment we had done if it was in digital form. Physical art were scanned or photographed also, as a sort of backup. We were also required to back every project up via USB sticks, ofc.

There was also a rack with individual docks for each digital camera that they had which allowed us to get our photographs transferred to our own folders. Since we could access those files from our accounts it also was a part of that server system.

There were also several networked and customised Macs used for single tasks, like larger printing projects and also for an airgapped paintgun for a lack of a better description. We avoided having to wear masks when we printed large sheets in single colours with it, for example. I have no idea what software that thing used, I think I used it like once or twice.

Now, I’ll freely admit that I haven’t touched a Mac since I left that school, and I’ve never had any interest in them whatsoever, so I don’t know what they used or if it even exists anymore. Someone with more knowhow maybe does?

I do remember them specifically (proudly) telling us it all ran on Macs, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have any reason to believe so. The “server room” was basically what looked like a glorified closet with a rack and a couple of Macs that didn’t look like the ones we students used. This was just before the all-in-one models were introduced, iirc.

Depending on what your definition of “enterprise” is, I’ve attended what was at the time a fairly large and prestigious art school that ran everything on Macs.

They even preferred that we didn’t bring windows laptops, although after some… rather intense protests by pretty much anyone under 25 we did get to bring our own peripherals.

Edit: I’ll also add that outside the shitty keyboards and mice, the server system they had set up with our accounts on etc was completely fine.

Never had a single issue with it and it was my first ever touching a Mac.

The politics here in the EU are just as messy, there’s simply a thin veneer of …something, class, perhaps, that trump managed to completely remove from American politics.

What happened in the UK is a genuine bright spot, though. I couldn’t stand Sunak, but at least he behaved like a fucking adult when the time came.

You’re quite correct on all points in my opinion, for what it’s worth.

Edit: although to be fair, Lincoln had to navigate an extremely complex political situation. He could’ve done a lot worse than how it ended up.

The guy is genuinely going for a dollar-store Hitler look (with his other actions adding to said nazi-theme) and this is your first reaction?
