These are the times that try men’s souls. They are also the times that put the “Fuck You” in “Fuck You Money."

Nothing but 😍 for the KDE team and everything you do!

Cratpound?

Again I want to go back in time and personally smack everyone who scolded those of us who witnessed the rise of MS in realtime for the reaction we had when they bought github.

I release this to the ether, and wish for all of them to feel a half second or so of deep, perplexing discomfort. 😁

I had the same recollection. Turns out it’s common-ish.

thank God I am not American

And by the way, the French are the ones who know how to get shit done. We’ve probably started too late to stop the slide before it gets really bad over here.

Let me try one more time.

Do you think Angela Davis dodges this question, or do you feel she thoroughly, satisfyingly, answers it? It’s not a long clip.

Because as best as I can tell, you will again decide that you decide how those being actively harmed should respond and what is an acceptable response from those people, and again characterize her response as advocating violence, rather than recognize how such a viewpoint does nothing but empower those who seek to oppress.

Every word she speaks is in support of her summation at the end.

You did an awful lot of arguing to demonstrate that you still didn’t really read it, and by read I mean digest it, nor fathom why I suggested you start there.

Because you are defensively pearl clutching about entirely different things than the most relevant bit to your arguments here, which is how ridiculous and harmful it is for those in a position of privilege to clutch their pearls about whether the protest actions of those being actively harmed and killed might not be convenient in their timing or execution.

And when you reach the point of recognizing why such pearl clutching is actively harmful to others, instead of reflexively insisting it’s not what you are doing, or insisting that it isn’t harmful, quite a lot of other things will fall in place.

Good day.

You can pretend NYT has no influence on popular opinion and therefore politics, and ignore their misrepresentation of the genocide if you wish, but that doesn’t cause your argument to magically become valid.

You should do some reading. Start here.

just following orders

I have a job I mostly like at a company I mostly like with a boss I mostly like.

I still want to stab myself on Monday mornings.

When circumstances allow, I try to use Monday to tie up loose ends from the prior week and plan/prepare for actions I need to take in the upcoming week. It’s justifiable “real work” that helps me be more effective on the rest of those days, but it lets me ease into the week a bit.

Some weeks this isn’t possible and I have to jump right into Monday like it’s Tuesday. The upshot is those Mondays go by pretty fast usually.

I recognize that for certain kinds of jobs that’s never an option. I’ve had those kinds of jobs, and I may again one day. Folks with a job like that have my sympathy for sure.

Sunday evening can die in a fire. From about age 12 on up.

It sounds so dramatic and I know people roll their eyes when I say things like that, but it’s absolutely true.

The deeper I’ve gone with Linux over the years the more Windows seems (aside from the obvious privacy concerns and generally being trash corporate citizens) like an intentionally convoluted and overcomplicated mess.

Odd, since my Jellyfin sits behind a reverse proxy.
