everyone thinks they can pull it off just fine, but believe me, it's not a bad bet that your IT dept knows better than to bend to someone just dangerous enough to be a problem. it's probably happened before and that's probably why the policy is in place.

this is fully intended to trick gullible people. it is absolutely about the money.

burning all these dev tokens just stabilizes or increases the price of the remaining tokens, and they couldn't just sell them either, that would crash the price. they're selling gta6 clips for $160k.

if you think that burning dev tokens is a sign of good will, you are a mark.

no way, sadists use gentoo. i vastly prefer arch because i often need libraries that are newer than most package managers get in a timely fashion. i use fedora on my server for the opposite reason, but for my workstation, arch wins easily.

a linux beginner would probably need to be a sadist to use arch, but anyone who knows what they're doing will have a fine time.

a modern sidekick would go so hard, discord kids would absolutely love it.

i'm really tempted to get a clicks communicator if it doesn't suck.

"god is all knowing" vs. "i have free will"

christians press both buttons without thinking about it.

ever tried to talk to a christian about how an omniscient god clearly obviates any concept of free will? they really don't like that.

itunes also has that in its EULA.

this is the kinda person that also posts on reddit or lemmy about how never leaving their home for any reason makes them a better person than all of those "extroverts" with no self-awareness at all.

yeah, this is trivial to do when you cherry-pick. no cities? no national parks? nothing from any of the mountains, deserts, two sets of dunes, or coasts? nothing from the PNW? no forests? not even grasslands? the grand canyon is literally one of the natural wonders of the world.

stark contrast to the two weird anti-therapy comics on the front page right now.

"joke's on you, i was only pretending to be stupid"

this comes across like anti-therapy propaganda.

when i watched ds6 all the way through for the first time, there was an episode on the ferengi homeworld that immediately reminded me of this story because quark has to put a quarter in a chair to sit on it.

400 more heads on the hydra

i know it's just the portuguese word for "panel," but "painel" is still a hilarious subdomain for an angular app.

the 1080ti is when nvidia realized they need to enshittify their gpus. that's why they now catch on fire and cost $6000 while my ~$800 1080ti is still just purring along.

the awkwardly-written title is referring to ubuntu via WSL ("on Windows 11") as opposed to just running linux ("native").

the article is pretty clear what it's about, even the caption on the first image straight up says what i just wrote. you read it instead of just reading the title, right?

it should surprise nobody that a project owned by anthropic is turning into slop.

yep, flock exists purely to get around the 4th amendment and the requirement to have a warrant.

he literally got up and ran away at least once, what a complete fucking loser.
