Edgelord for Linux

It is said that only those who make the pilgrimage to see the penguins in person will be blessed with the full power of linux

My university’s linux lab was in an old basement that would flood with a few inches of water during heavy rain and the resulting stench of mold was basically year round.

That’s also where they located the SPARC workstations, so either way works.

Because that’s how they do it for Gundams

Folded like a lawn chair the second a dictator pops up to pry every past remaining bit of wealth and power out of our hands.

Suggit

What an absolute cuck

Not if we ban adhesives, straps, glue, welding equipment, string, and bendable wires. Think of the children.

TIL about sshfs and life got a little bit nicer

Everyone named Luigi should sue for discrimination

Such passion and giving. That’s the least offensive thing I’ve seen Trump do.

I know it’s real because I have “common sense”.

I say we handle it like Elon and just say its a real video, boost it to millions of viewers, then remove the article a week later if it turns out fake

Trump getting elected

And all that only a tiny portion of the hate i feel for greedy billionaires who destroy the lives of millions because they want even more wealth and power

It was nothing personal, more of an off-handed commentary on how things usually end up going after 20 years of seeing literally every site/service I’ve used and most of the companies I once considered “the good ones” eventually get shittier in some way when the business side puts on the squeeze.

The one exception I can think of is Wikipedia.

But I don’t have any reason to think badly of these folks, their current owners seem to have their hearts in the right place and indeed have made decisions that avoid lockin and assure users, and I hope they are another Wikipedia that will endure the tides of enshittification.

But I will never again assume that such hopes will remain the reality, even in this case. This is a snapshot in time. Owners change, priorities change, pricing models change, file formats change, common sense statements of basic decency like “don’t be evil” get rescinded, scrappy fun websites created by free-thinkers become tools of fascist oppression.

That doesn’t mean they don’t deserve your business and support currently. Just make sure your off-ramp options remain acceptable if things begin to change.

“…until we have a large enough userbase to start monetizing and enshittifying…”

Having distro-specific flatpaks really seems to be defeating the whole purpose

They make it illegal except for Trump loyalists

If were “okay” then this country has no chance. Outrage should be the default mood until this nightmare is somehow ended.

But I’m surviving, and recognize there are still other things in this world that aren’t complete shit.
