Brainiac artificially increases the value of his knowledge from planets by genociding said planets.

So yeah, exactly the same.

They don’t have to actually crash, they just need to start to crash.

Then competitor’s values will drop, they’ll buy them up, and then get bailed out.

Except these are more than just content companies. They are empires with tons of shell companies and child companies under their roof.

And it giving any company that much control of a market is a death sentence. If they begin to crash, the entire economy around that will crash. And it will ripple.

“Ωmega Mart - You have no idea what’s in-store for you!”

This feels like a Samsung Advertisement.

If you’re in the US and can afford it, Talk to a lawyer.

This is blatant discrimination of a immutable attribute which is a Civil Rights violation.

This is written evidence to that fact.

They mean programmers that will work for $7.25/hr.

Quick recap.

So, Linux is Linux because a set of events that lead to it being named after Linus.

It wasn’t uncommon at this time for Unix systems to be named after their relevant creator or platform like this. HP-UX, PC-UX A/UX etc.

Linux would probably be seen as LIN-UX or LIN/UX, it may not seeing as Linux is not Unix, but that’s just speculation.

Linux in its proper reading would be Linus Unix, but that doesn’t make any sense Linux is Unix-like, but it was made in a vacuum without access to Unix source or even Unix systems at all near the beginning.

the equivelent now is a 2TB ~ 8TB External Solid State Drive.

Which they claim is illegal and a violation of the DMCA

If you can own nothing, then nothing is theft.

It would be so funny, if it weren’t so sad.

‘LinkedIn’

LinkedIn is as much Social Media as talking with your manager is Socializing.

It’s really plastic and fake feeling there, more so than anywhere else.

I’ve suffered through Gnome, I’ve used AwesomeWM. I’ve waded through Cinnamon and XFCE. And I finally landed on KDE.

KDE grants me the ability to arbitrarily redesign my UI on a whim without much effort.

I can go from something to custom to Nostalgia Drowning.

And right now I’m drowning in Windows 7 Aero.

Ah, I had blockbuster as a kid in a post 9/11 world.

We’re in the “dropping the act” phase of capitalism.

This is just standard monopoly-speak these days.

The War on Christmas is real.

And I’m tired of pretending we started it.

They struck first. Invading Thanksgiving and New Years. But like all memorable wars they started within their own borders.

Conquering the lesser known holidays in their ranks. As well as the weekends. Then they expanded into November and January. Then into February and October.

The war continued until they had conquered Halloween, Labor Day, and it had gone so far that they had conquered July. “Christmas in July” they said.

11 months of Christmas. They had almost taken it all. Then, just as all hope was lost, just as it been considered a lost cause. They stopped.

Christmas stagnated. For 60 long years we waited.

Enduring losses and louder (and earlier) Christmas carols. Planting their lights and decorations unto our territories. Creating propaganda and even launching pressure campaigns.

Labeled Humbugs, Grinches and worse for daring to stand against Christmas.

But slowly as the songs got older, and the propaganda aged. Fewer and Fewer dared to pressure those who stood against Christmas.

We took our months back. We didn’t even know It, but we had just awoken a sleeping monster.

As we regained July and September, we slowly took back the early months, may, April, march…

We managed to start encompassing the holiday season. That’s when it began. The War on Christmas, or so those on the side of Christmas claim. But we know better.

Happy Holidays.

Begun, the Holiday Wars have.

Damn, two repeats. First windows 12 having no start button and now forcing users to update to windows 11. God am I happy I don’t main windows anymore.

But also, I’d like to remind Microsoft the reason they let anyone downgrade back from windows 10 indefinitely was because their forced upgrades lost a company $$$ and they got sued for it and lost.
