i love voting against him so much I pick the republican primary just so I can vote against him twice.

love the movie for the absurdity of it. My memory on the other hand is less DLSR and more broken disposable camera you find at a wedding in 1999.

it only means nothing because the person that are determined to want to Linux fail will just move the goal posts to something else. But if it means less Rootkits that pretend to be anti-cheat drm the better.

  1. Never realize it takes place over labor day weekend until today. It hits even harder knowing that.
  2. It kind of makes me sad not knowing how the original Bell got acess to the Net without jadzia's help. That makes me think he couldn't and It was a predestination paradox and the implication is humanity couldn't put us on a path to the world of star trek on our own and we needing star fleet to push the scales. Explains a lot for our timeline.
  3. 1995 Me: Getting the voices on the Net would fix things for sure. 2024 Me: There would be a misinformation campaign to drown out those voices and used by grifters to make a quick buck off the cause. Most would just swipe to the next youtube short/reelz/TikTok video.

Yeah i made myself sad

am I crazy or am i seeing a pattern with these guys. They go off the deep end after they have a divorce. It's like Mike and Giuliani normal lives then their wifes leave them and boom, first train to NuttJobVille.

Dennis Richie is a personal hero of mine and i go out of my way to buy a cake every September 9th to celebrate his contributions to the world. It's a real shame his passing was overshadowed at the time.

weirdly I'm still a Linux administrator but with way more fun services to maintain.

what kills me is we Solved Cheating in the 90s and early 00s. It's called dedicated servers. People would buy a game someone would setup a server and if you were a dick or cheat you would get kicked and each sever was like a community just like it is here.

But the companies want control they want to be able to shut download the game on their timetable and get you to buy the next game. A tool or system is never going to fix this people and breaking communities into manageable chunks can.

Hell back in the day servers were hacked on purpose to create new types of games. Anyone remember CS Surfing and Sniper only maps in TFC.

the point is people can hack away break the game beyond recognition but they can do that off in their own space.

Now I know that breaks global leader boards and other ego driven things but I'm just talking about having fun with games.

alternative headline "steam users have a ton of games they got from a humble bundle for super cheap and we didn't take that into account and used the msrp value of each game for this shocking headline."

Also some games don't count time on older games. i know I have games like half life 2 episode 1 that i have beaten that show I never played them since I played them before they started tracking time.

honestly the biggest problem with the media is. Linux represents the very thing corporate culture in those media empires just can't fathom. the idea of cooperation for the greater good that Linux represents and not being 100% profit motivated. They just don't get it and worse they see it as a threat. Microsoft can be a competitor to them but the idea of open source is a competitor to the whole system and that is a far greater threat to the people on top.

They said a 5 day work week was a pipe dream but strong unions and literal lives were lost to bring that about 100 years ago.

If we did it once we can do it again. Lasting change is slow but if we keep pushing change can happen. On a long enough timeline we win.

So i did my update today. Due to plasmashell being broken for me right now. I had to roll back, thank you Timeshift. So it got me wondering what day of the week works best for you all to update?
