  • The kids at my school all walked out to protest ICE! I've never seen 1000 12y/o's so well coordinated, it was unbelievable!

  • Young people can organize decent resistance when push comes to shove. Remember all the partisan stories that go "men, women, and children fought back." Admittedly, 12 is young, most of those stories were about older teenagers, but it shows that something is very wrong and everyone can tell, when even kids manage to pull off organised resistance action.

  • Yeah, it is. Like, having to fix broken shit or unwanted behaviour on a Windows box makes me so much angrier, because just using it has already made me so fucking angry at it.

  • At an office job, sometimes your entire job is just to waste as much time as possible. Because really, the bosses just want butts in chairs. It's way more common than you'd think, especially in public sector offices.

  • Can we please think about deploying a Hexbear AI?

  • Yeah, that's what I was thinking. No massive resource waste, just an old school digital magic-8 ball with lines from Stalin instead of vague question answers.

  • Trans Youth Suicides Skyrocketed In UK After Care Drawdown; Government Covers It Up

  • They would rather have a dead kid they can insist was cis than a living kid they have to admit is trans. It reminds me of old school homophobes who'd rather have a dead kid than a gay kid, or of antivaxxers who believe vaccines cause autism and think a kid dead of a preventable illness is preferable to a kid being diagnosed with autism.

  • I'd actually quite like a Stalin bot that promises to behave like a modern AI and them all it actually does when you invoke it is spit out a random Stalin quote from a list. It'd piss people off while also being a stereotypically tankie thing to put on The Tankie Website. Lol.

  • Yep. At least Linux is complicated because it gives you near infinite options, not because it wants to prevent you doing what you want to do with it.

    I have so much more time to figure out how to do cool shit when I'm not busy trying to fix whatever Microslop breaks!

  • This is so true.

    I didn't install Linux in anger, I did it in an autistic hyperfixation fueled mania (I was hyperfixating on Linux after reading an old compsci essay posted to an unrelated forum I frequented at the time, and just knew I had to actually play around with it a bit to make the nasty side effects of a hyperfixation go away), but... yeah. When fixing shit on Windows, I'm usually already mad going into it. When fixing shit on Linux... I have so fucking many "Wait, if that means that, then can I do... I can! Yay!" moments. And, usually, "fixing shit" means "trying to change a minor annoyance" or "trying to do something cool", not "trying to resolve an error preventing something I need from working correctly". (Or, when something breaks that isn't something I can manage to fix, I'm far more prone to resigned acceptance and working around it than incandescent anger, which makes using Linux better for my health than using Windows. Because excessive stress takes years off your life. Today, I plugged my laptop into an external monitor and got it working how I wanted it, except that the laptop keyboard wouldn't work once I connected the monitor. Troubleshooting first step: Grab a spare external keyboard and see if that works on laptop's USB port or monitor's. It worked and I just left it for now. We'll see if anything changes when I next reboot the thing.)

    I get the exact same "Using A Computer" experience I remember from when I was four, whenever I decide to find out "OK, can I do X, and how do I do it?" It's the best.

  • This guy sounds worse than my dad.

    He knows just enough about computers to think of himself as very technical, and he's very much a "Windows guy". Now, he's not bad at computers, he doesn't break things, he's genuinely very experienced and skilled, with Windows systems at least. But he is... very tied to that paradigm, and when the differences in computer operating systems now and in history does come up, he can be... very sectarian.

    There is a reason the little stuffed penguin on my purse zipper is a cutesy girly thing, and I never ever talk to him about computers unless I can use a truly idiotic line like "what's an operating system?" or "where's the "any" key?" or "what's a caps lock?" (He doesn't buy the truly stupid questions, but he takes them as jokes and laughs at me making fun of my own tech illiteracy, and he buys that the moderately dumb crap is asked in good faith.) The arguments are bound to be unproductive and frustrating and sure to last for weeks, so I've learned from watching others to pretend to think technology is magic and he's a wizard, and never ever tell him when I think he's doing something incorrectly or not the way I'd do it.

  • Installing Linux is seriously easier than setting up Windows these days.

    If Microslop keeps going the way they're going, even a manual Arch install will be an easier task.

  • I wonder if it'd think I'm a kid cause Sims is a casual game series, or assume I must be an adult because Sims 2 is itself an over 20 year old game, and obviously everyone who plays it must have been around and old enough to enjoy it when it was new.

    I wonder what it'd make of Rimworld and Tropico.

    I mean, I don't even really use Discord, beyond being forced to when some thing has its only official support/documentation hosted there. But it's funny to wonder how it'd classify me.
