Windows Meme Makers: “The C drive! … How long was that?”
I like coffee, Philly, Pittsburgh, Arabic language, anything on two wheels, music, linux, theology, cats, computers, pacifism, art, unity, equity, etymology, the power of words, and getting high off airplane glue. Will use Adobe Illustrator for food.

Sure, but, aren’t we on the Fedi? Or, you mean, this specific cat is posted on bsky?
A paycheck is a paycheck. Lots of us exchange our ego for daily bread — we have a club and everything. We meet every day after work at your local bar.
Oh yeah. Don’t you guys also do murder scene remediation?
“Computer, fix this code and don’t make mistakes.”
What’s this about bsky?
If I can ask, have you spent any time in the Rust Belt? Because I grew up there, and I can tell you that Americans don’t actually want plastics manufacturing in their backyard, nor will they appreciate the lung cancer and COPD rates skyrocketing because some dipshit has misplaced nostalgia for a time you most likely didn’t even live through.
For a time, I was quite close to manufacturing workforce development in the US. The dirty little secret that nobody who kvetches about American manufacturing will ever acknowledge out loud is that we have plenty of manufacturing in the US, but manufacturers have the plants in places where people cannot affordably travel, nor do natural American workers seem to want to actually do factory work.
They all say they do, by I can tell you from looking at actual jobs data that only 1/10 American workers who start at a factory job actually remain there longer than a month. To fix any of this, we all need to first acknowledge that maybe manufacturing doesn’t exist as much because it’s a shitty job with low pay, low security, and carries a high risk of on-the-job injury. None of y’all are gonna be lining up to be the guy who agitates the molten steel while it’s being transported from the forge to the smelter. Do you know how many people were just encased in molten steel? Do you know how often we just sorta moved on without even compensating the family? Enough so that the American labor union practically began in Pittsburgh.
It’s a real dumb idea but I’ll be honest, I think all of us should have expected that when Chrome switched to an engine that doesn’t allow for ad blockers.
I’m with the rest of the commenters on other threads — I’ll just switch to PostmarketOS and make Linux work for me. Very little of what I do on a phone really requires “apps.”
“The longer you live, the younger you become” — this bitch has clearly never heard of human leukocyte antigens.
Ah, good thing those are cheap materials, then!
Millions of small retail or craft businesses now out of business: “haha so true bestie!”
no, no. we MUST create this sacrifice-person to lead us. this is our shot.
White People: “guns are for everyone! That’s why there is a second amendment. SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.”
Black Panthers: "oh ok carries unloaded guns’
White People: “wait actually now there are limits”
Honestly, doing this for would be such a hilarious operational vulnerability that I think it would be like a dinner bell ringing to th international spy community lol.
If they release files with only Republican names blocked out, all it’ll take is a single congressperson to read the full list of names that appear in the documents out loud during a speech and into the public record — then, Internet sleuths and journalists will be able to piece together names from details, they always do.
Naked corruption. Investing in cryptocurrency is essentially enabling billionaires to abuse workers on a cosmic scale.
Neato. Always cool to see a new approach. Synapse/Matrix is excellent, but, running a federated Matrix server is an exercise in frustration. So many version forks, so many hard crashes. :(
Aw, look at that, you got the stink lines and everything.
I am not sure cryptocurrency even has a practical use outside of money laundering. I guess it’s a casino, too.
Nah, as someone who gave an honest, college try at making use of OneDrive, I maintain its fate vis a vie the rusty hook.
