Boycott Starbucks
I’ve always boycotted them naturally. Their black coffee is shit and expensive. That’s why they fill it with so much sweets. Anyway, fuck them

Mind you, there was no stackoverflow back then, so he most likely learned all that shit reading hard papers.

I didn't even have power in my house back in 1991. Walked 5(both ways combined) miles to school every single day. Lmao.

Happy Manjaro Certificate expiration day! To all who celebrate!
At this point, I’m totally convinced this is all deliberate. Why? I have no fucking clue.

YOLO
That was me when I first started using Linux 10 years ago. I didn’t know any of this stuff, and most of it didn’t even fucking exit. Wing it and worry later. Moral of the story, I reinstalled several times a month. Lmao

Best Buy Customer Support Removed A 32GB DDR5 RAM Stick From Gaming Laptop After Charging Full Amount For The 64GB Configuration; Says Upgraded RAM Incompatible
I’ve always wondered how companies like Best Buy, CVS and Walgreens are still in business. Best Buy for being shit scammers and the other two for their outrageous prices.

The fuck? Wow. I was one of those geeksquad agents back in the day. I left them when they started to tell us to be scummy with our clients. Basically mislead them and sell them shit they didn’t need. I didn’t know it has gotten this bad.

I don’t remember this acronym. But we probably didn’t since I don’t remember it. It was nice until Best Buy started encroaching into our work little by little then it fucking became unbearable. I actually went into deep depression because of the job until I left.

Kansas Schools Now Collect Phones at the Door – Spends $180K On Smartphone Lockers

Good on you for protecting them from social media. My 12 year old son has no access to any social media. I got parental control everywhere. Google’s family link even has this “school time” function where it minimizes distractions. I honestly wouldn’t even mind if schools said “no phones in class”.

#apt-get = older, lower-level, more script-friendly For normal use, just use apt now. For scripting where 100% backward compatibility matters, use apt-get.

Nexus Gamers are going to test gpus on Linux (Bazzite)
This is great. Honest people like Steve and Wendell are great for Linux. Let's make sure, as a community, we don't give them a hard time about their distro of choice. I think bazzite is an excellent choice to start until they get comfortable digging deeper into the system.

HDMI Forum is unwilling to disclose the 2.1 specification for open-source (Linux): according to AMD, they had submitted a functional, HDMI 2.1-compatible driver [for linux?], which the Forum rejected.
That's why HDMI needs to die and display port needs to take over. The TV industry is too big for that to happen of course. They make a shit ton of money off of HDMI

And for that reason alone I built a Linux PC for my 11 year old and told him to go to town figuring things out. (I supervise everything of course). Dude has been doing fantastic so far.
