ChatGPT told me it’s selfish of my friends to not want me to kill myself!

You have fiber to the pole and the best you old ISP could do was 42 Mbps? That’s fucked, on my rural all copper network we had a 100 and 200mbps option. Expensive, but available. I only switched to fiber to spite Spectrum(CharterComm)

Oh you have a better explanation? I don’t see it.

Have a fun listen to the 4(?) part Behind the Bastards episode on ol Tommy

The thing about “date rape drugs” is that plenty, I would say most of, their users are not using them for SA. GHB for example, is/was a pretty common party drug, especially in the gay scene. “Roofies” or Flunitrazepam, are one of the rarest drugs going these days, prescription or illicit. Xannax fits that bill these days. So depending on how the legislation is written, if these drugs are only classified as weapons in assault cases, I suppose that’s good. But I don’t agree with the further criminalization of drugs in general.

Also the most common date rape drug bar none is Alcohol

Guess I hurt some fragile ex imperial feelings

JK, fuck American tech

That’s because you spelled it correctly. What color tire have you got on your SUV

I strongly believe that greed is a vestigial trait from a time when scarcity was real. Ones instinct to preserve their bloodline would have necessarily involved greed, me and mine first. I also believe that some early humans developed the ability to overcome that instinctual drive, and we call that empathy. Life is actually a whole lot easier when you understand that greedy people are developmentally inept, their genealogy prevents them from having the ability to empathize with others. It’s not to say it isn’t a problem, but sometimes having an explanation to why a thing is the way it is helps understand it better.

It’s just the political party for people who can’t overcome evolutionary greed.

The night before he died, he suffered from a delirium during which he was frequently heard to exclaim that he hoped he would not seem to have lived in vain.

Poor guy died of a UTI because he was too polite.

I always try to give a passing side announcement, what’s fun is about 25% of the time the person moves in that direction!

The places that a standard passenger car will take you with a little faith and not caring if it needs to be abandoned. I’ve been in a Subaru legacy farther out than most 4wd adventures I’ve been on

What would the world do without people like you?

I work in healthcare (maintenance) and our computer system is so fucking locked down, I’m sure CoPilot will have some similar way of being shackled. I was surprised to learn that the terminal isn’t locked, until I fooled around some and realized that every possible command was individually blocked.

I think he has a really good point. I consider myself acceptably tech literate, I’m not afraid of the command line even if I don’t really understand how to use it, I’ve built my own computers for years, and I have a pretty custom configuration of Windows.

One thing a windows user can typically be sure of is that if it’s meant to work, it probably will. There is a pretty black and white environment of what’s possible and what isn’t. Linux is very much more “give it a shot” style computing for beginners. It breaks much more easily, it can be very confusing to configure, and it’s just different.

I think if it similarly to cars. Some people, like myself, love driving, enjoy tinkering with the car, maybe drive a standard for they joy of it. But most people just want a car to take them to work and the store. Most people just want a computer to work, either for their job or their hobby, but the hobby isn’t tinkering with software. The fact that even the very packaged and polished distros can require more than basic tech literacy to configure is likely what turns a lot of people away, whether or not that’s actually the case.

And getting snippy saying somebody is butthurt (which is fucking homophobic btw) is absolutely going to keep pushing people away if they think the community is full of holier than thou Linux nerds that don’t understand how to communicate with normal people.

I’m currently experimenting with different distros right now and am having a similar experience to the person you are replying to.

You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

You made your own problems in my opinion
