Now much of that money do they spend on lobbyists?

Or they find a post where he said something nice about Bernie Sanders.

There needs to be more citizen lobbying. What really needs to happen is citizens organizing, pooling their money, and hiring lobbyists, just like big corporations do.

That’s funny. I have no problem drawing circles in GIMP. What are you getting stuck on?

People learned on Photoshop, and then they’re upset because GIMP does things differently. I guarantee you if somebody had learned on GIMP first, it would be the other way around.

There’s nothing intuitive about Photoshop. If you pick it up with zero knowledge and try to do anything, you can’t. You have to take a class to learn how to use it, same as GIMP.

Sorry, Joplin is a nightmare. I want something that stores Markdown in flat files, not a database with changing versions where one version of the db doesn’t work in another version.

I tried to port the database over from another system, but the new version of Joplin wouldn’t read from the old version’s database, and it would corrupt the database when I tried to open it. What a crock of shit. I had to figure out how to dump the data from the tables using sqlite.

I use nb now instead. It is a bit wonky because it uses NodeJS, but you can view and edit files in a web browser, and it saves each entry as a .md file, which is the sane and rational way to do it. So, if nb ever fucks off, I have all my work in a directory of Markdown files, not some broken-ass sqlite database.

That’s like saying

“Nazism is a system and just that, it has no moral, therefore cannot be evil.”

or

“The Transatlantic slave trade is a system and just that, it has no moral, therefore cannot be evil.”

What are you talking about? Systems are created by people; they don’t just pop into existence.

Yes, if you torture the definition of “free” enough, then nothing is free.

From my experience, politicians talk a lot about fixing that problem in order to get elected but actually do very little about it once they get in office.

Don’t you think they could do more good in the USA, since they’re the ones paying for it?

Vivaldi is closed-source, and it still uses Google’s engine. Good for you for moving away from Google, but you have much better options available to you: FireDragon, Zen, and the rest of the Mozilla browsers.

Epic video. After watching it, I gained a newfound appreciation for dubstep while also having to admit I have no idea what it actually is.

(I still kinda like Skrillex, though.)

I saw a librarian kick out a homeless guy for sleeping in the library because “we have a rule that you can’t be unconscious in the library. It’s for your own safety.”

WTF? What kind of danger are you in when you’re sleeping? What made this even stupider is he didn’t need to cite some bullshit rule to kick the guy out, because he was snoring! He could’ve just said “Your snoring is too loud, and you have to be quiet in the library.”

How many fingers do penguins have?

So, vibes basically.

How do you determine that something is AI?

That one about roleplaying games alone was destined to be a meme.

Try listening to Check Your Head all the way through. If you don’t get it after that, you never will.

Um, they’re a band, and their name clearly states that they’re “boys”. Ergo, a boy band. QED.
