The D Quuuuuill

you could email corporate though to say you will not be purchasing any McChickens due to a negative experience you had at location #<the location numbers are on plaques near the bathroom>

that’ll tend to happen as long as art is based on life

“ah rad, you like megadeth! i like megadeth! what have you had on repeat lately? for me it’s been egg punk”

there like… does seem to be an undercurrent that the great races meet O’Neil and are like “the tauri are close” and then meet Carter or Jackson and are like “on second thought…”

my read is that they appreciate O’Neil’s pragmatic simplicity. he doesn’t try to impress the other races, he tries to achieve the best possible outcome in any given situation. Carter and Jackson i think remind the other races of the ancients too much and from everything we can tell, the ancients aren’t very good neighbors. the asgard even seem to believe that O’Neil is more advanced than the other tauri, and i think that’s because he somewhat hews away from Ancient approaches and more toward Nox.

that said i do have critiques of O’Neil given that he exists as an air force propaganda tool

It’s a riff I have going with my wife that no one wants to hang out with the Tok’ra, and especially no one wants to hang out with the ancients, however, all of the great races want to hang with O’neil because (in your best Thor impression) “he’s a good hang”

it’s Selmak, sir. and he says he’s not gonna be a frustrating douche like last time

What do you mean with this usage of the word Luddite, I’m confused? The Luddites were left wing populists. Moreover the modern day right wing are supposed technocrats desiring to leverage AI both as a mechanism of control and as a justification for the extraction of oil, coal, natural gas, and water in their war against the land.

thank god for mathematitians

when you love someone you want to remember the random nothing moments the most. they’re the ones that belong to no one else but you and your partner. at least that’s my outlook

there’s WAY too many nazis in open source. it makes me so mad. the originators of these tools and licenses believed in making tools available for everyone so that we could be the owners. but then these fucking selfish assholes don’t want anything but for themselves. they contribut to Linux, sure, but not out of any desire that Linux grow or be usable for everyone, but just out of their own desire to not pay for something and then an opportunity to weild petty power over someone.

i am so sorry you experienced that. it was not an experience anyone should have to endure.

ah, i took the stray shots to be us, linux users and linux users groups, not linux, and then i didn’t pick up you were inventing a hypothetical scenario to frame a joke, so to me it seemed like a callback to a real prior redhad announcement i hadn’t heard about. with that context, it seemed like a non-sequitar and then flippant refusals to explain the reference. the additional context you just gave was extremely helpful because we had different ideas of who the “we” in the original framing was

yup. we would prefer the power of this nation to live amongst the people rather than allow it to coagulate into a single person or position. unfortunately with what amounts to actual monarchists in control of all three branches of government, we are on the backfoot.

it’s still “around” but its leadership and mission have changed drastically enough since IBM’s purchase of RedHat to represent something completely else from what it once did and how you probably thought of it back when you paid attention to it. i’m sure if you installed it you’d find it all very familiar for a while, but eventually you’d hit something that made you go “hey wait”

1. bring attention to that people on lemmy are participating in No Kings
2. draw a connection between the Red Hats and RedHat

personally i’d not have made the association joke since IBM, the RedHat corporation’s parent company is genuinely participatory in both the Latin/Indigenous American genocide and Israel’s genocide against muslims in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and other nearby nations, not to mention RedHat themselves have been exploiting people’s labor in North Carolina and haven’t done hardly anything to help the neighboring communities around their offices in Charlotte and Ashville, but i don’t expect most people shitposting about Linux on Lemmy to be keyed into the real world impacts the RedHat corporation has on my friends and neighbors

what are you saying, what are you talking about? it feels like you’re making reference to something which seems obvious to you but the rest of us don’t know what you’re referring

i wish peertube had more/better discovery tools

on mobile i highly recommend ironfox if you have the patience and knowlege to set up f-droid

hi. slrpnk.net user here. yes. grass is political. when you mow your grass is determined by social contracts, the kind of grass you grow is reflective of the economic pressures you experience. when a city makes a green area, they must engage with politics on how to determine where and what the green area will be.

since the dawn of civilization, aka growing grass for food purposes, grass growing has been both political in its decision making, as well as a driving force in politics.

everything is political, and calling people who think that chronically online is goofy

RedHat: noooo, fedora’s definitely for sure independent. you’re not just doing free labor for IBM

hasn’t been the easiest in about 7 years haha
