Being an optimist it’s waves throughout humanity and this is merely the most recent one. We are better as a species though still not perfect. My gut tells me we will make it out of this but like many times before the old thinking will need to die.

We are going to look back at the greed rampant today for the mental disease if truly is and address the underlying issue that makes people like Elon or Bezos not only exist but thrive. We will come to the realization that people like that are not normal and we will no longer idolize or encourage such destructive individualism.

Amen. Trump is showing the world what America truly is. The rest of the world sees this. Many Americans do not.

And to throw an olive branch, many countries are a Trump away from the same realization.

Amen. I get the sentiment but Jesus Christ everything is politics when you boil it down. Yes it’s draining to focus on it 24/7 but it’s equally destructive to bury your head in the sand.

The elephant in the room more people need to pay attention to that many of us who work in IT are painfully intimate with.

Many IT people are hardcore libertarians who believe in some warped idea that they are where they are through their intelligence and hardwork while completely ignoring many of them come from backgrounds that afforded them the opportunities they are taking advantage of.

100% many of them are sexist, racist and bigoted pieces of shit that hide it at work because they’re adept at masking the fact that a lot of them are borderline autistic at worst and neurodivergent at best.

This is also why you see such a deep investment in idiocy like AI, Bitcoin and other paradigm shifts. They all have their heads up their asses and feel they’re better than everyone else.

Couple all this with the demographic being primarily white males.

Fuck talk to any woman who works in IT. It’s changing yes, but Jesus Christ it’s a cesspool in many ways.

I love you all solutioning for something I don’t care enough about. I just find it annoying that systemctl reversed the order for some stupid reason.

Note the order of the commands. I don’t mind typing aystemctl

Because in the real world we all know no one is paying 20$ for a happy meal.

I’d rather complain

My biggest complaint with systemd…

Service xxx stop/start/restart is so much easier than

Systemctl stop/start/restart xxx

It fucking annoys me

Which beggars the question. For men, sex is at varying degrees about power hence your anecdote and the website to back that up as a viable business model. I doubt sex is about power to women though. I’m more curious so just rambling.

They should make it more like SO and have it chastise you for asking a stupid question you should already know the answer to lol

Gotta chase that Alpha!

And now I can’t unsee if

Controversial opinion which my dad and I share but the new Dune movies lack a level of artistry and creativity that Lynch did far better on with his. They are good movies, great even, but they just seem flat and soulless like any other Hollywood epic lately.

As a fan of the books I’m so happy I never watched the TV show. My gut kept telling me it will only end in disappointment.

Sooner or later? They already are lol

Far as I remember any browser in iOS is a scam anyways because Apple forces any browser in their platform to be based off of the same engine as Safari.
