Repression is a terrible thing. I'm proud of anyone who grew past

No, I wouldn't. I'd be pretty forgiving of them.

Yeah, I once declared in a room of like 100+ people of a queer advocacy org that there were only 2 genders.
This was before I realized I was trans.
Yes, I'm still kicking myself in the face (figuratively) for this. I hate who I used to be. And I don't think I'll ever forgive myself for the pain I caused that day.
Truth be told, I'm not sure I want to forgive myself. I'm not sure I deserve it.

Damn right he is. He risked his safety and his life (and still does) to make sure we all know more about how the feds are spying on their own citizens.
He's a true hero of the American People, that one, make no mistake.

Modern corporations are a damned plague. Most of these fuckers would destroy our whole cultural heritage in a heartbeat if it meant making a profit.
Yes, corporations exist to make profit, but come on, there are limits.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor
And if anyone is wondering how this is legal (yes, it is 100% legal), I hereby direct them to the US Constitution, 13th Amendment, Section 1,
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
In other words, slavery or involuntary servitude is fair game if you've been convicted of a crime.
Which is very fucked-up in my opinion. "Land of the Free", my ass...

Paying for software is stupid… 10 free and open-source SaaS replacements
I just want you to know how much I appreciate the fact that you typed out the list of repos mentioned in the video, since you know many people are not going to watch the video but still want the information.
I mean this. Thank you. You are awesome and deserve cake.

James Webb Chadiscope
I think it's kind of an unfair comparison. Hubble was made decades before Webb was, when we knew a lot less than we do now.
This is like insulting Shakespeare for not writing with a ballpoint pen.

Philosophy meme
I don't see the contradiction here. Right Person is just asking what Left Person's beliefs on those matters are, not whether they believe those beliefs are objective.

Hypothesis, not theory. It is a small distinction but an important one in science.

DRM Format Modifiers For Old AMD GPUs Coming With Linux 7.3: Thanks Valve
If you're like me and are wondering what the hell a "DRM format modifier" is, well, from the article:
DRM format modifiers provide details on tiling, compression, and other attributes for image buffers. Depending upon the layout it can also help with better performance and other more versatile use-cases. DRM format modifiers support can allow Vulkan-powered Wayland compositors, compositors running on the Zink OpenGL-on-Vulkan layer, interoperability between different graphics APIs, and more.
Cheers. <3

In Indonesia, Women Pirate More Music and Movies Than Men
Serious, honest question: why are we bringing gender into this?
I've never considered the idea of one gender being any more likely to commit piracy than any other. Is there some kind of piracy subgroup of people in Indonesia or elsewhere who claim men are more likely to pirate music than other genders, particular women?
Again, this is a serious question, with no malicious subtext. I'm genuinely wondering where in the hell this question came from, because it seems to me like it came out of nowhere.

how badly could a pelican fuck me up in a fight?
DISCLAIMER - I am not planning on fighting a pelican.
I need this on a T-shirt.
Seriously, this is the best thing I have seen on the Internet in a long time. It's like I'm in 2013 all over again. Lol.

When he told her that, she began crying, and appologizing. She didn’t remember saying that, but he never stopped thinking about it for 30+ years.

I grew up in the era of Photoshop and people would post fake nudes. Why is it now a big deal that AI is doing it? Kinda like the Taylor Swift thing on twitter.
Honestly? It was kind of shitty back then and is just as shitty nowadays.
I mean, I get why people do it. But in my honest opinion, it's still a blatant violation of that person's dignity, at least if it's distributed.

You also found them really attractive too
Hell, I'm so socially inept that I interacted with girls in the past and then as they were leaving I was told that I did well at flirting with them, to which I responded with, "I was flirting?"

Yeah I was gonna say. Not nearly as bad as public companies. I'd take private companies any fucking day of the week over those soulless bastards.
