Minimum wage should have been $15/hr at least 10 years ago.

Also, the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train.

Communism A system of government where the country’s wealth is concentrated into a small, ruling class of billionaires, who use the news media they own to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money.

Oh wait. that’s capitalism. I don’t know how I got those two systems confused.

“Also, do you really NEED to sleep?”

I save my profanity for times and things that are truly worth getting upset about. If you use it all the time, then it becomes meaningless. It just becomes background noise and you sound like a 10 year old all the time.

Company-wide email: “We had our best year EVER and it’s all thanks to YOU!”

Me: “Great. Can I have a raise?”

“Oh, we can’t afford THAT.”

I’d love it if VirtualBox emulated some really basic 3D cards (Voodoo 3, Radeon 9800) so I could do some old school gaming. I have a few old Windows games that won’t run under Wine.

This. It’s the creativity, inspiration, imagination and hard work of the employees that give the company its value, NOT the owners. Proof: all the franchises that have failed spectacularly once all the smart, creative people have left the company and the only ones left are untalented hacks.

Also, it is LONG past time we got over our child-like worship of billionaires.

Usenet was awesome. A distributed, decentralized network, with thousands of forums. Until it got taken over by spam and porn and a lack of moderation.

Now we have Lemmy. Let’s not mess it up.

Imagine if Wine became the new Windows. (Or became all that was left of Windows).

Supernatural?

Wow. 10’1". (sign hanging under bridge)

There’s a bridge called the “11foot8” bridge that has its own YouTube channel and trucks crash into it all the time.

Before the 90s. I think the best time for cable TV was between 1982 and 88. MTV wasn’t crap. The History Channel had actual history shows and the Discovery Channel always had top notch science shows. We also had “Night Flight” on “USA’s Up All Night.” They would run back to back episodes, starting at 9pm on Saturday nights and ending around 4-5am Sunday.

Anyone who remembers 80s cable TV should feel incredibly ripped off by what they’re showing today.

Henry Kissinger. Whenever you needed the most depraved, amoral, anti-democratic take on anything, whether it was the Vietnam war or the Khmer Rouge or the civil rights movement, you could always count on Henry farking Kissinger.

Words mean things. Stop simping for millionaires. It’s embarrassing to watch.

Remember when the big selling point of cable TV was no advertising? And then it became 99% ads?

Yeah.

I think he meant exactly what he said. The arrogance and entitlement of millionaires is VERY well documented.

“Hold them captive.” Those are HIS words. There is no other way to interpret that.

I’ve got two separate drives. Linux Mint on an SSD and Windows 10 on an older, mechanical drive. Leave the Windows drive alone. Make the Linux drive the first drive in your BIOS boot order, with the option to boot to Windows as your second drive.

If your GRUB menu doesn’t show the Windows drive yet, run “sudo update-grub” to detect it. When your reboot, the bootloader should show both options.

I also think the smartest thing Valve ever did was add Proton to their Linux platform. They are going to capture about 90% of gamers migrating from Windows to Linux. It’s a lot easier for gamers to use a pre-configured platform than fiddle with Wine settings for each game.

“So another reason for them to come and enjoy work: drop the little tykes off next door. We’ve got doctors on board and nurses, we’re going to feed them, but mum and dad will be working in our office.”

The fact that you needed to explicitly SAY that is a little disturbing. What was your original plan? To store the kids in a fridge?

And then some minion had to tell you, “sir, children need food water and air to stay alive.”
