Can’t skip the update if you don’t have any Windows installations.

Eat a tablespoon of peanut butter. It works.

I didn’t like Twitter enough to join it when it didn’t cost $20.

The 2600 versions? Yeah, I do.

Let’s see. The games suck, so that’s no help, they’re all uniformly terrible nobody wants to actually play them. You can readily buy actual copies of the original versions for about the same price, so they aren’t really collectible. Atari has very little cache among gamers (relative to say, Nintendo).

Who is this for again?

But being absolutely against murder doesn’t end up with other people being murdered, so it’s a terrible analogy that they are just allowed to get away with. If you stop doctors from “murdering” babies, then mothers die as a result, full stop. They don’t even argue that point, they just don’t care, so arguably, they’re no better than the murderer in their own stupid analogy.

All of this is a religious refusal to admit that biology is a nasty, difficult and ugly business and not the perfect product of their all-loving God, and it’s just plain stupid.

I hope this means that Shitter is starting to be in some trouble.

I will not give a fuck about these stories until I can reliably feel like they a) didn’t vote for this and b) wouldn’t vote for this yet again.

None. I was never invested in it very heavily. I had one channel that I was a pretty involved member on but the whole “you don’t have to tell them how old you are, they’re going to use an algorithm and your usage patterns to deduce it,” I was just haha no, fuck that, and I quit.

Stop using Windows. Stop using Discord.

Yep. On it almost a year now, ever since 10 was EOL’d and I learned Discord was building a profile on every user based on usage.

Linux has been awesome and Discord mostly sucked anyway.

but communities and farms still use unsustainable amounts of water.

I’m so tired of hearing this load of shit. “Communities” use TWENTY PERCENT of all the water consumed in Arizona. That includes all the horrible, wasteful, golf courses everybody hates except golfers. TWENTY PERCENT.

Farms and industry use EIGHTY PERCENT of all the water used in Arizona. HALF of the resultant production from this water usage is shipped out of the country in order to generate PROFITS.

👉But I’ll give you three fucking guesses as to who is going to have water restrictions levied against them.👈

Just like Republicans always mouthing off about the welfare queens, as their orange moron doubles the national debt. They get to take it all and turn around and shit on everybody else for being the problem, as per usual.

That’s pretty low for an ambulance ride in the stupidest fucking country, tbh. Probably the actual bill after her insurance company “paid” for $3600 of it.

This is the scam of health “insurance” in America: you get a bill that’s stupid. Like “on a different planet” stupid. Your insurance colludes with the hospital to pay none of it (but tell you they did) and you get to pay the actual balance. The actual balance is also stupid, but just ordinary stupid.

Never realized they kinda look like the Recognizers from Tron.

I know, right? They must have built it really solidly. Except for the whole falling down bit.

I don’t know why. It’s not like her resume otherwise is nothing but bangers.

Probably better to be able to just hide your plate at will.

Except insurance has basically decided it doesn’t need to actually pay for the most part.

I’m in the “been working with Linux since the 90s” gang so I call vim vi and nano pico and when I started there was a coolness factor to be considered. I was incredibly uncool so I used whatever I wanted, including pico - I mean you used pine for email back in the day and the interface was nearly identical, so whatever.

But I did want to be at least a tiny bit cooler, so I learned vi in a fairly rudimentary fashion. I can edit, jump, delete, search, replace, copy and paste - oh, and I can exit. I’ve spent so much time using vi, that my brain doesn’t even have to think about exiting, not even whether I want to write or not. It just happens like second nature. It’s actually gotten to where nano seems unduly burdensome to me.

But really, I prefer an IDE for programming. CLI editors will always be for configuration files and shell scripts to me.

Huh. I kind of liked it. I’ve only seen a few episodes, I don’t watch a lot of TV, but Phoebe particularly cracked me up.
