He rules

The cool kids are switching to Librewolf because whatever is happening at Mozilla is increasingly concerning by the day.

Pi hole is definitely great but I’ll concede that getting that going probably qualifies as ‘going out of the way’. That said, it is worth every penny/second spent configuring.

1. Download Firefox (or other preferred gecko browser)
2. Install uBlock Origin add-on

Really going out of the way to avoid them.

Why are they always Rogue planets? Never any Cleric or Barbarian planets.

To their customers*. Not to the literally billions of people directly affected by their debacle.

It baffles me people use chrome.

Client: “How much is this disaster recovery plan going to cost me?”

Me: “A hell of a lot less than when you don’t have (valid, tested) backups and need them”

I, too, have had the audacity to say WSL is useful on this community and it was also met with down votes. Purists hating and gate keeping, and then they wonder why Linux isn’t more popular.

Customer: Why is there so much latency over my tunnel from us-east to us-west?

Me: checks latency seems pretty normal, what’s the issue?

Customer: The latency is too much. Why is it not as fast as us-east-1 to us-east-2?

Me: They are near each other. Us-West is across the entire United States

Customer: Make faster

Me: This is the speed of light. And over copper it’s about 2/3 that

Customer: hmm are you sure that’s as fast as it can go?

Me: Well, unless we change the laws of physics your not going to get any better latency

OSX offers both case sensitive and case insensitive filesystems

For what it’s worth, half of them are essentially ‘water is wet’. Although as far as thoughts in the shower go, I guess that’s fairly reasonable.

there is no such thing as a distinction between “democracy” and “authoritarian”.

Lol. Ok.

I never said anything about you praising authoritarian leaders, that’s the picture you’re painting in your head. Whether or not you’re praising them, I think ‘supreme leader’ encompasses the definition:

“leaders behavior that asserts absolute authority and control over subordinates and [that] demands unquestionable obedience from subordinates.”

Unquestionable obedience. Like a master and a slave. Like a dog.

‘Tankie’ is often associated with Marxist-Leninists.

Taken from the ‘communism’ wiki page,

Communists often seek a voluntary state of self-governance but disagree on the means to this end. This reflects a distinction between a more libertarian approach of communization, revolutionary spontaneity, and workers’ self-management, and a more authoritarian vanguardist or communist party-driven approach through the development of a socialist state followed by the withering away of the state.

Would you look at that. Authoritarian approach. The root of disagreement among communist.

The age old tradition of cultural appropriation.

Would you prefer Authoritarian Left instead? Because authoritarian is authoritarian is authoritarian. Left or right fuck off with your supreme leader bullshit.

But sometimes you’re restricted by your own imagination and the image produced reflects your desire stronger than your vision. The ability to consistently generate meaning and purposeful images with generative ai is an art in itself. It’s just a different medium for artists to use.
