  • That at least used to be true when publishing was centralized. These days you'd need access to a lot of servers in a lot of countries to be thoroughly historically revisionistic.

    Or just introduce a social credit score system and even more mass surveillance so you can punish everyone with the temerity to attempt to educate themselves. So, I guess that'll be coming soon.

    Hey, who doesn't like at good ol' fashioned blackbagging and a free drive in the party van at 3am? If you're lucky, they might even throw in a rubber-hosing. Your neighbors 'didn't see nuthin'.

  • Why would I ask for clarification I don't need? You were perfectly clear. Look, just own it buddy. It's not like I'm going to hold it against you. We've all made this kind of mistake at one point or another, and few of us meant to.

    But knock off the gaslighting.

  • "Why do they all hate us?" wailed the guy literally pissing on a bunch of people snarling at him for some odd reason.

  • I like the way you think, and I want to subscribe to your newsletter.

  • Is ignoring all other pedophiles in the world throughout all time what I'm doing when writing a comment specifically about Trump? You might as well accuse me for "ignoring pederasty in ancient Greece" because I failed to touch upon that in my comment too then.

    But that quibble aside, I'm not going to complain about you bringing up important facts that bear repeating.

  • You know... Appointing six babies to the Supreme Court sounds considerably better than what actually happened.

    Oh. Now I'm sad. Sadder. Maybe even saddest.

  • "How did you manage to figure out who the culprit was?"

    "The method of elimination. Literally."

  • One wonders what the unfolding series of events pertaining to Trump/Epstein will be dubbed by future historians (assuming this debacle ultimately have any survivors to study what went wrong). The Moronic Saga? The Idiotic Epic? The Tragedy of Trump the Kiddie-Diddler?

  • That's beautiful work, and I may well find a use for it in various personal projects.

  • "Why?"

    "I've already learned to enjoy the stippling of sunlight filtered by the nearby trees and just let go of my incessant need to over-analyze, like Max transiently did in Aronofsky's Pi, but failed to internalize."

    "The experiment is a success. I guess."

  • ...Just hand me my wand, you old weirdo.

  • And also - I hope: "Bring it, you fat pedophile bitch."

    Not much I can do to materially support Chicagoans from my country, but I know who I'll be rooting for, and it isn't the child-raper-in-chief or his bootlickers.

  • I'd say he used to be a wannabe dictator. Now, he's finally managed to achieve one single solitary thing in his sad life and have managed to become one. It's entirely typical that his one accomplishment is the one least worth aspiring to.

    Well, I guess he's managed to ruin the US economy, reputation and international political capital too. Oh, and undermine NATO. And embolden Russia and China, and... Hey you know what? I guess that is actually kind of impressive in all the wrong ways. Nobody else could (or would) have done it, that's for sure.

  • Yeah, that did nothing to sell me on the concept, but if there's one great thing about open source it is that there's no single right way of doing things. If this is what you want for your system(s), you get to do you.

    And those of us who run on cobbled together systems composed of other people's e-waste get to not waste massive amounts of system resources we don't have on abstractions ten layers deep. I can live with the potential for occasional transient system instability if it means I can run my base desktop system without involvement of flatpak, snap or - Jesus Christ - docker.

  • KDE Linux is an "immutable base" operating system that does not include a traditional package manager. Apps can be installed from Flatpak, Snap, or AppImages.

    Oh, wow. Okay. I can see why some people might want something like that, but I'm empathically not one of them.

  • Unless we're talking about Trump's brain, of course.

  • I knew it started with an 'A'!

  • Man, I hate the smell of fascism in the morning. I hate it at all other times of day too, but starting the day with nausea is the worst.
