Psst! That’s a major ADHD thing.

The reverse is America, so, yeah.

Okay, so we know you’re 35 or 40 from the millennial signal.

You could be just getting old. You’ve lived long enough to have firm opinions and - more importantly - expectations. These are not being met, and you are coping less as your pragmatism wanes a bit with neuroplasticity.

But entertainment has gone a little shitty. Social media is a cancer on global communication, even as it offers the same. We’re communicating now, so there’s benefit, but the algorithm has definitely ruined us.

I say both.

The coasts will be wealthy and independent. The middle will be poor and warlike. Two coastal countries and a lot of warlording in the middle.

Yes; and since everything is tastier than tomato soup, tomato sauce will be better too.

Anti-vax on “the left”?

…and it’s gorgeous.

The pancake truck is parked outside daily, but never open when I was there. This is religion inaccessible to the people even in viking paradise.

Holy shit. He made it.

Well done, Mr Van Dyke.

Parisians will never stop complaining about québécois.

Because Paris French has a group keeping it consistent, whereas Quebecois has no regulation and it’s just driven by vapid famewhores making idiot memes popular (just like English).

I worked with someone in Ottawa who was from France. She went to Gatineau (Quebec), and tried to order a cheeseburger. They could not communicate effectively in French and had to both switch to English. The struggle is not imagined.

Also, My high-school French was Quebecois, but my Uni-level French was Caribbean. I cannot speak Quebecois any more even more than I can barely speak French any longer.

If they kill oracle, will that kill the last Unix after IBM stole the parent OS of Solaris and put it into Novell’s oubliette to reduce competition?

It’s like Iraq : fucked by Saudi for decades, then America invades them because Saudi vandalizes buildings and kills almost as many people in one day as normally will die in America through poverty.

Ai or talent, this is at least well-done.

Hey now. Fully 1/3 of Americans are currently being held hostage in a fascist regime. We should be ready for refugees, and treat them accordingly. They don’t need our denigration on top of their daily struggles.

That’s a little disingenuous.

Redhat markets support and professional responses in the form of adjusted builds to CVEs on an enterprise distro of Linux.

I mean, yeah, they absolutely technically profit, and open-source is the root of their classic product, so you’re not wrong there; and I’m not saying so. You’re framing it as if they do nothing but take the source, schlepp it out, and collect protection money and keep it themselves.

This kind of characterization completely sidesteps an important truth about open-source devel: everyone involved with projects like the kernel, for instance, work at a shop like redhat and are paid to do the open source work.

Let me say it again: this corp who is profiting off of open source happens to also be donating skilled, paid labour to open source. Look at the leaders of the kernel dev effort and you’ll see google, arm, rh, Intel, and suse, all paying for the labour to keep it going.

Stop characterizing them with language suggesting they’re slimy leeches. They make bad decisions a-plenty, but the biggest thing their involvement provides is continuity and lifestyle security for people maintaining what you hold dear.

Condemn them for their stupid decisions - Ansible, Systemd, IBM buying redhat and accidentally speeding up their enshittification because #ibm, etc. But given how little the foundations support this project (the only one I looked at: I’m only slightly less lazy than the person who didn’t even do this) I suspect their cozy little arrangement where they make bank and you get free software to play with is benefitting you more than you’ll admit.

I love how a red hat product forgets about proper packaging. Pips? Containers? Fuck off. RHEL has an E in it, ya fuckwits.

I think that’s already assumed.

But they’re only the pros; what would they know?

Find and watch the 2010 Jude Law movie “repo men”.

The water is flowing over the border and flooding homes. Did Trump weaponize disasters? ;-)

The goal posts – they move!
