Gabe is living proof that the issue is not the money or drive to make it on its own that is a problem. Its the building ones entire life and reason for being around making as much money as possible no matter what you have to do that is the issue.

In my opinion if someones only qualification for being in charge of a business is having an MBA and having been in management at other places then that are grossly unqualified to be in charge of anything outside of their own finances.

“I’m arriving”,haha

That one got me.

It really is interesting how we have such large trucks and very few parking spots outside of the back nine of Wal-marts parking lot even close to big enough for them.

And huge chunks of them will still vote for whoever the GOP oozes out of the orphan crushing machine next.

This is just so some Democrats can claim “supported/worked for higher worker wages” during their next reelection campaign.

We don’t need Trump removed and replaced with another right wing Luddite. The whole diseased Republican party and everything they currently stand for needs to be done away with. The rot is not one man, The rot goes all the way to the core. Trump just gave the others the permission and validation to more openly be as vile as they previously were in private.

The Democratic party are no saints, but there is at least a chance of turning them around with the right people, policies, and regulations.

The Republican party, and anyone openly and proudly that still calls themselves among their members, is a lost cause.

Step one for people not wanting to harm you Sam, is not doing things that makes people want to harm you.

Being the poster child for costing as many people their jobs as possible was not going to be a popular move, you had to be able to see that coming. If that was not a forecast you could come up with, you probably aren’t qualified to be the CEO of a company.

Get me some kernel panic pancakes.

Unrealistic. Everyone already knows Vance isn’t that tall and Trump isn’t nearly that smart.

If I had that much red in the whites of my eyes, I’d be at the hospital as well.

I think you are probably assuming most people are as informed about such things, even tech literate people. As someone who tends to stick his head in the sand on anything that isn’t specific tech news I care about organically it would be pretty easy to miss all of the scummy things Brave has done over the years. Let alone the sketchy history of Eich himself.

As gross as it is, the writing has been on the wall for years now. As soon as Branch did the initial purchase anyone that cared about such things should have starting looking at alternatives.

I bet they don’t even keep the stats anymore for Keith Richards.

There are little pockets of such things with everything I find. The “init wars” of systemd vs init/initd, Wayland vs xorg, Android vs iOS, Linux vs Windows/macOS, Xbox vs Playstation, Nintendo vs Sega, Vinyl vs everything not vinyl, RCS vs iMessage more recently to name a few.

The suffering is the point. I don’t think they actually want it to stop.

I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of a lot of Debian based distro’s. But I eventually settled on Ubuntu for my desktops and Debian stable for my servers. Because I like some mainstream support and also like to follow the KISS principle.

Advertising being allowed to become the dominant monetization method for the internet was a mistake.

I’ve never seen anything that makes most of its money from advertising that doesn’t get worse and worse for it over time as a result. Once you let the advertisers in they will ruin whatever it is they are being allowed to leech off of. Might take 1 year, might take 20, but once they get that foot hold they will run it into the ground because like a billionaire and money, it is never enough.

I replaced it with Hyfetch awhile back since that was the one that was already in the Ubuntu Noble repos.

I found some generic guitar riff mp3 years ago I liked. Been using that on every phone since then.

I find that most people that romanticize this sort of middle of nowhere living tend to only consider it from the point of view of that time period in their lives when they are healthy and able to go years without needing convenient access to medical services.
