One could say he has been and more, given the state of things. Just a tariff/tax would be bad, but he’s hunting citizens.

At this point any pee-involving evidence is minor compared to the rest.

The GOP and now MAGA left conservatism behind long ago. And it’s not like conservatism itself is bad when applied in places that need less change to work. One can even be liberal, radical, and conservative, just on different topics.

This is a cult. Period.

It also means the OS is in total control of the things it’s running. This goes for running programs, shutting down, and crashing. The only crashes I have on my Linux are when I use up memory, and I’m still convinced that even though everything looks seized up, if I left it for hours or days it would probably end up resolving itself. I’ve had some cases where the OS saw the program wasn’t going in a good direction fast enough and killed it.

This is what happens when officials give the worst people freedom to do the things they’ve fantasized about.

Mos Eisley had rules and ethics far above what we’re seeing.

Blame Microsoft sure, but where this ignorance of LLMs’ faults keeps coming from is baffling. Either the CTO and CIO and the rest of the IT departments are idiots, or someone is grabbing their bonuses while they can before things break.

This is good parenting. You can’t always be there to guide them or restrict them, nor should you want to be. You instead help them understand how to navigate the world themselves smartly. This is true for anything, not just what they see on the internet.

I think that may be a shared thing among the different software, Mbin seems to give you a few minutes without labeling it.

I find myself often going back and ninja editing a post I just made. Even though I read over it before I submitted. Used to not be this bad; my thoughts and grammar, even in a gaming chat, were coherent. Oh well.

So wish they had built off of Legacy. I haven’t seen Ares, but the more I read, the less I care. Visuals and soundtrack alone do not carry a movie. I’m not even going to blame Leto for this, unless he was part of writing it. Which looking at the wiki for it, it was already a train wreck once it diverted from a continuation of Legacy.

Confusion as first choice, VR as next, and hope. The other two are horrible. The last is “I Have No Mouth” only you do, but it doesn’t matter.

The book that came with the C-64 was a good primer for first-time computer users, but I ended up needing more and bought the “Commodore 64 Programmer’s Reference Guide,” which was far more useful, and then “Mapping the Commodore 64” and “Machine Language for Beginners.”

Yes, I still have them. You never know… :D

Maintained, a bit slow on the updating sometimes, as I mentioned. But a big factor for going with Ubuntu was if you’re looking at software out in the wild, chances are they’ll have either an Ubuntu version or something that will work with it. I’m not a fan of compiling stuff (although maybe with more Linux exposure that will change too).

In hindsight that’s probably not a great reason, after all it’s why Microsoft dominated the field for so long.

My dad warned me about using bicycles and motorcycles on the public roads based on his experience in the 50s. It was dangerous even then, and it’s only gotten worse with the number of cars and roads designed strictly for automobiles in general. Driving in traffic in a big car is scary enough; the people out there are insane.

I looked into an e-bike for getting to work a few years back. The range and time would have worked, and I travel during the light hours. But I couldn’t find a safe way to make it happen, even through back roads. Probably for the best, eventually someone would probably have got me.

Being supportive of Ubuntu seems to be a minority, but I picked it over others simply because it felt more like what I wanted from the Debian lines. And I haven’t had any major issues at all. The main project I’ve got ahead of me is to remove Snap, as I see that’s a problem, mainly due to updates being so far behind (plus I’m pretty sure it’s a resource hog, I can see it there in Btop all the time). I’ve had several apps that I originally used Snap (I mean, it’s right there, why not) to find the version is old and missing newer features. So I just find the Apt or deb version, or even AppImage, and I’m back running. The OS itself is solid, and I so, so love just booting up and going within seconds, as well as shutting down right away. Not the classic Windows “hang”.

But I get that some people run into incompatibilities sometimes with hardware, so you do have to look around and find what works best for you. An example of mine on that was an old MacBook I had that simply was stuck since the OS isn’t supported anymore. So I put Kubuntu on it (since it needed a light OS), and it works fine for what it is.

Art of the kill

Thanks for clarifying what your definition is. Pretty much includes any form of government throughout history. Is this an anarchist’s pov?

If you’re going to try to narrow the definition that way, then most countries are fascists. Why don’t you visit the Wikipedia page on fascism and help them simplify what they classify as a very complex definition.

Which would make it far worse. Lower than WWII Nazis.

America wasn’t fascist then. I don’t think it is now (yet), but the leadership in power sure is.
