King 👑

I was 15. He was 22. He bought me take away food, alcohol and cigarettes for my company.

A decade later, he was my bosses boss. And harassed me at work.

He came from a wealthy family where he was the golden child, people around town know about his tastes but no one has come forward. His family are in denial.

Some people are just pure evil.

Mission to the Cloud Server

Meanwhile the Chinese government have their own Linux variant Kylin which is developed as part of a national resilience and strategic initiative. It's wild to me that in this day and age few governments will spend even $100,000 on open source expertise but they'll throw billions at idiots like Microsoft because some politician was wined and dined by their sales people. If more people knew how broken the procurement system was and how their tax dollars were wasted on corporate welfare they would riot.

Lmao

China didn't attack Iran and send global oil prices sky high. China doesn't bully my government into bad defence contracts.

I'm so tired of racist fear mongering about China. They aren't a perfect country, but the suggestion of the United States judging any other nation right now is mind boggling.

Hands on the Door

I had an ex who used to accelerate the car angrily whenever I raised something uncomfortable in the car. One time we were headed out to a game with friends and he got so mad I thought he was gonna slam us right into a house. Nine years of my life wasted on that asshole.

Microsoft Wants to 'Make People Addicted' to its New AI Assistant, Internal Documents Reveal

My non Linux savvy spouse is currently dual booting Linux Mint because Windows has become so frustrating to use.

Mint isn't perfect. We've run into a few bugs and shortcomings. But there's a big difference between dealing with genuine issues in an OS and using one that feels actively hostile and designed to exploit the user.

If both experiences can be frustrating, why choose the one that's frustrating by design (unless you absolutely have to) ?

No idea. Best guess it was stunted emotional development when he didn't get his way. One time we were home and everything was fine so I asked him why he treated total strangers better than he treats me. He disagreed and when I brought up examples he started throwing glasses at a wall and screaming. All I could do at the time was apologise to calm him down.
