It was inevitable. All his children grow to despise him.

These companies are all racing to dominate the market. Eventually one will win, largely through government contracts. Then all the infrastructure will be used to further propagandize, kill and spy on us.

Jesus Christ.

Or maybe put the address on Craigslist and say you’re moving and there’s hella free copper, RAM and graphics cards.

What is the highest-leverage attack on this kind of installation? Like most people don’t have access to cruise missiles (though if you do, please do the thing!), but I’m thinking ventilation intake. Like take a can of expanding foam (ie, GreatStuff), duct-tape an M-80 to it, light and chuck it into the ducting.

Fully support Meta killing this awful product.

This has been the law in the US for a long time already. Not exactly illegal, but any cash transaction $10k+ legally requires federal documentation. This gets at what people misunderstand about crime and money laundering. Money laundering=paying taxes.

Thrift store boombox.

My wife is “xennial” and her music tastes skew younger. Lots of younger artists are selling cassettes and CDs at their merch tables. We have more tapes and discs in our house than I ever had in the 90s.

Electricity is one of those subjects that will forever remain a mystery to me.

I also love Mint, though I now run the Debian-based one (LMDE).

Traditionally they’ve been email lists. Easy to set up and everyone has an email address.

It meets their needs and preferences, simple as that. I tried Arch in like 2008, and thought people were crazy for all the trouble it took back then. Nowadays there’s a lot of nice distros built on it, so you can get the benefits (such as they may be) without all the low-level tinkering.

“May”??

A thing about Linux is that there’s usually like 10 different ways to accomplish something. If you hit a dead end in terms of your ability or tolerance for frustration… just go back to square one and find a different approach. For games, I recommend starting with Steam.
