The effect on the local goth population will be devastating.

Except they don't tell you that they did something different and you have to spend half an hour just figuring that out.

If they were fake ads like in GTA and Cyberpunk, it could be fun, provided you could turn them on and off anytime.

Somehow I missed the word "Advocate" in the title and had a brief panic there.

I feel like you guys aren't really "explaining like I'm 5". Let me show you:
Sometimes, when a mommyboard and a daddy graphics card fall in love, the daddy graphics card puts his connector pins inside the mommyboard's expansion slot. Then when they both get turned on, millions of tiny electrons surge out of his connector pins and into her expansion slot, where they travel up through mommyboard's data bus, and into one of her memory cards. Meanwhile, there are thousands of image files inside mommy's storage drives waiting to come to life, and every once in a while one of them ventures out of the storage drive and into her memory card. And if the electrons and the image file happen to meet at the same time, then 9 milliseconds later, a picture of a baby appears on the monitor!

"It's possible I did something wrong." 🤣
Like not read the warning that said that he was about to uninstall the desktop? Or to continue only if he knew what he was doing? He also earlier liked to talk about "red flags", but somehow needing to type in "Yes, do as I say!" wasn't one to him. I'm supposed to be getting Linux tips from this guy?

Yes, you should totally do that. DO IT.

"Hey Wayne?"

"Yeah Garth?"

"Did you ever find Bugs Bunny attractive when he dressed up as a girl bunny?"

(chuckles) "No."

"Yeah, me neither."

Just don't freeze people in prison as punishment, ok? I've seen how that goes. Before you know it, we've got Stallone knitting things.

I think that it's one of the benefits of monopoly. People don't think "I wonder if I should start checking out alternatives?" but instead "Damn, that's annoying. I wonder if there's a way to fix this?" Alternatives never even enter their head. See, there's already a tool for the problem in the post!

😆 It might be nice to have a phone that tells me "Remember, we're all counting on you. Good luck." Otoh it would probably keep calling me Shirley.

You don't need humanoid robots for that, just an economic system that is not based on trading labor for income. That is what has been holding us back for a long time.

You wouldn't download a car.

Ah yes, the ol' "promoted to the level of their incompetence". SOP. Or SNAFU, take your pick.

That depends; do you mean good for the user, or good for the company? 😉

Make a Linux app, not war.

Oh no, they know about the Kult! Burn the kompound!

Yeah, when I saw "Chief Privacy Officer", my first thought was "Ministry of Truth", "Ministry of Peace", etc.

...invade everyone's privacy instead.
