Nope. He had the ability to control her. Nobody can stop our crimes. It’s bad.

Yes, 100%. When I opened an investment account, I explained to our financial planner that I was going through the motions doing what I know I’m supposed to as a responsible adult. But I absolutely don’t expect humanity not to destroy itself before the point in my life where I’m supposed to reap that reward.

Hence, I spend more than is probably advisable on things like going to shows, travel, special events, etc. I wanna enjoy as much as possible before it all burns down, cause that’s exactly what’s gonna happen. And I plan on checking out early if things get bad enough, but that’ll be a while yet.

What a fucking zero.

Install Fedora in a VM if you can?

They’re great devices.

Recently, my partner’s 18yo nephew asked her if she had any iPods (she doesn’t). I took a photo of the eight or so different models that I still have in storage and sent it to him just to gloat. I’m a monster.

Go back to bed. You’ve already won. The day can’t possibly get any better from here.

C’mon now. You’re not nearly rich or influential enough to get away with that and you know it. Rules are for regular people, not the rich or mighty. Sheesh.

It’s finally the year of Desktop Linux, about fifteen (or more) years after people thought it would happen. I’m happy for all the nerds who are finally vindicated. (I like Linux, but I’m an Apple guy.)

I’m still pretty pissed off about that. It’s when I learned that a huge number of my fellow citizens are really stupid. Covid was when I learned that they’re also hateful pieces of shit.

Freedom fries, you guys. Woohoo.

Fuck that. It was predicted a full year before. This is bullshit. Stop reading the NYT. They lied about the attack on Oct 7 (claimed sex crimes that didn’t happen) and never made a retraction. I cancelled my subscription to them and to the Washington Post (cause Bezos killed an opinion piece endorsing Biden, who I voted for because fuck Trump, but Biden was a terrible candidate).

Listen to the audio-book, “Manufacturing Consent,” from Noam Chomsky. Unfortunately, he’s in the Epstein docs, so I can’t recommend him otherwise. Oh well. All these people are monsters.

You would have really liked the comedian we saw last night. Epstein files were the main topic. Sammy Obeid. Good stuff.

Oh, that was a good laugh.

This was my first outloud-laugh of the day. I love it.

That was my reaction when I read about them pulling copilot and such. I think it’s probably the reaction of every software nerd.

I go to sleep drunk a lot. I forget to turn off lights. My partner calls me out for it. I have not shame.

I’ve never been ashamed of or regretted licking ass.

It seems like we’re at a real turning point for Linux adoption. I’m an Apple nerd, but I love seeing people switch to Linux and write about what a (mostly) positive experience it is. Cheers to my fellow nerds getting off the screaming pile of garbage MS if forcing on people who just want a computer that works.

This is the sort of discrimination I can support. Call the husband when you want some tea.

Oh shit, did he just make me respect him more than I already did?

Oh, that would be a shame. Not like I was already planning on buying a new computer this year and the idea of over-paying due to RAM shortages and other bs has made me mad at them. After already being mad at them for a lot of reasons that were more abstract in how they harmed me. Fuck 'em.

Hey, you know that Microsoft guy in a high position who pissed off devs on Twitter by saying their code would be replaced by AI and then a lot of the internet called him on his shit? Maybe I can work for him (because I’m certainly not talented enough to get hired directly under ass-face here).
