  • At first I was doubt.jpg, but then I went on the search engines and then found it. While the article is more tame than what the headline + meme portrays - it doesn’t advocate to keep the Culture war going, it is advocating for an end to distractions - it’s still some liberal bullshit about how “we shouldn’t antagonize the rich”. I mean, in my case at least, I don’t want to antagonize the people behind the riches, but I’m going to point out how they act like imps and goblins every time we try to levy any kind of taxes against their riches, as if the only variable was that they worked hard and that is why they are rich.

    Anyway, I cast my vote saying the meme is justified. Carry on.

    Installed Mint last week. I already ported most of my personal stuff there ; as a user of FOSS software, it was a breeze. Still dual booting Windows because of work, but I’ll start trying to see if I can get the required tools to work on there too.

    For now, my biggest issue was that connecting my Bluetooth headphones to both Linux and Windows was fucky but, lo and behold, there was a guide online that told me exactly how to make sure both OS had the same device ID.

    It’s not a painless experience yet, but it’s way less painful than what it was running Win95 back then. And it feels so good to finally flip Microsoft the bird.









  • There is something humorous about the fact that they give this description

    a plastic surgery and fashion trend among American conservative and Republican women […]

    And later gives this list

    Notable public figures described as having the Mar-a-Lago face include First Lady Melania Trump, Matt Gaetz, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Kristi Noem, and Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump.

    There is a good joke to be made about Matt Gaetz being the only “man” in it, but I fail to find the words that safely makes it feel acceptable, so I’ll just point it out and assume that lout probably had choice words about the importance of “masculinity” or some such.
