Where ever will we find another market for the best wine in the world?

Don’t forget demanding a Grammy, which Kanye West would then give him.

The return of the king

Feels like more of a Diogenes era to me.

Okay, it isn’t 100%, but it’s certainly MORE consistent than GUI, and since GUI is generally just a front-end for CLI anyway, if the CLI is inconsistent, so is the GUI, so it’s not as if GUI avoids this problem.

I blame absolutely nobody for wanting a GUI tool for things. But the idea others are at fault for being hesitant or unfamiliar with the tool is also disingenuous, especially when the GUI just adds another layer of abstraction to the tool while removing some of the functionality (as GUI tools often do).

It’s like you’re learning to ride a bicycle. I get that you like the training wheels and they are extremely useful for you, and more experienced cyclists SHOULD be understanding and accommodating, but they can also see the ways they’re holding you back, and it’s natural for them to want you to take them off as soon as possible.

Also, CLI is consistent across any distro… GUI tools, however, vary depending on your desktop environment, distro, version…

I hope there’s a stipulation that if you ever come back, the same amount is due as a lump sum.

Tell me about it. I thought this was an angry leftist meme at first.

Honestly not sure whom I’m more sick of at this point.

They rushed. If you push it too fast it’ll blow up in your face.

Amateurs.

We mock, but at least it wasn’t a USB flash drive this time.

Fake.

Linus Torvalds would never feel bad about punishing developers for incompetence.

This is why it’s called “eat the rich”, not “nibble the rich”.

2026:

1984 forced all of that.

Brave New World, people LOVE it and can’t imagine any other way to live.

Brave New World is the nightmare dystopia we CHOOSE, not the one that gets forced on us.

The only MO most members of congress have right now is to AVOID any kind of confrontation that will show that they don’t actually have the ability to enforce anything. They will bend over backwards to make it look like the White House ignoring their actions is “normal” so they can maintain the illusion that they still function as a check, and they certainly won’t push further than they think the white house is willing to go on its own. The white house knows this as well - it’s to their benefit that the Congress still nominally APPEARS to be a functional branch of government so they don’t have to risk open rebellion if they straight up dissolve it, although at this point, I don’t think there is ANYTHING that can pierce the insane, deluded, mentally ill complacency of the majority of the American people.

We are MUCH MUCH closer to the BNW/Fahrenheit 451 dystopias than 1984.

What the public thinks stopped mattering altogether in November 2024. If you had an opinion, I hope you expressed it then, because now it’s moot.
