“Get your car out of the bike lane” gets 'em real mad every time.

Putin could have his troops pack up and fucking leave any time he wants.

Death sentence seems quite called for in a country that uses it regularly.

Or even one that doesn’t. If any crime deserves to be a capital offense, it’s shit like this.

See, this shit is why insisting on “GNU/Linux” is actually important. It’s the copyleft and the end user freedom it provides that matters, not the kernel.

Sabotaged Linuxes like Android just don’t cut it and shouldn’t count.

More and more I’m thinking we really need a wealth tax. Not because the government needs the money - the government literally makes their own money, they can create as much of it as they want - but because I think a cap on wealth is necessary for social cohesion.

This is literally what the inheritance tax is for, so there’s precedent.

Of course, they piss and moan about that too, but I don’t give a shit and neither should anyone else.

Russia can’t beat Ukraine’s military so it attacks its people.

It’s such a shame that you can’t customize the version of zsh running on your Linux-based embedded device because it’s DRM’d to prevent the modified version from being installed.

…oh wait, that’s not sarcasm because it’s actually plausible.

Don’t worry, once the AMOC collapses Europe will get a rude reminder of what real winter is like.

It’s permissively-licensed (as opposed to bash, which is GPLv3). Pushing zsh over bash is part of a larger effort by corporations to marginalize copyleft so they can more easily exploit Free Software at the users’ expense. Don’t fall for it!

Bash is copyleft (GPLv3). Zsh is permissively-licensed.

Apple, for instance, switched from bash to zsh when the GPL version upgraded because they wanted to withhold those rights from their users.

Zsh should be considered harmful as a tool of corporate encroachment and subjugation of Free Software.

At this point we don’t even need to spend billions subsidizing green energy; it’s already cheaper than fossil fuels on the free market. We’re now subsidizing bad shit out of sheer hate and suicidal contrarianism for contrarianism’s sake.

(And blatant corruption and graft. That’s a big reason for the otherwise literally clinically insane fossil fuel subsidies, too.)

Yeah, pretty sure we even had a President or two who married their first cousin. One of the Roosevelts, maybe?

Edit: not FDR (his wife was a much more distant cousin), but John Quincy Adams is an example.

Regular Costco stuff isn’t that much in bulk. To get serious, you gotta go to the Costco Business Center.

Could it be that marketing is an inherently pro-capitalism line of work and its practitioners are unlikely to be altruistic enough to volunteer, especially for something like Free Software?

despite the nuance both systems at their heart are aspects of the US government.

Sure, just like how France’s government is an aspect of the EU’s government.

And more to the point, your work computer should be provided by your employer. If you’re buying that shit yourself, you’re a chump who’s being taken advantage of.
