You gotta have somebody with an established, honorable bloodline. Somebody like a Wormtongue!

HEADLINE: Millions die and economies implode in the bloody war to create the planet’s newest, poorest nation.

Now there’s a term I have to find a way to use at work tomorrow!

Why don’t presidents fight the war?

Well, if Apple is getting a new CEO then Microsoft should go all in and hire Xzibit to sell copilot.

Yeeep, this right here.

I’m a nerd and software engineer, sitting in front of 4 screens right now. I own a smart watch which I wore 23 hours a day for years on end.

I stopped wearing it several months ago and I literally do not know where it is right now. I assume it’s in my house somewhere. 🤷‍♂️

The greedy shits that run the tech world have taken it too far. The switch flipped in my brain and I just do no care about tech “products” any more. If it connects to the internet or has a screen then it’s almost guaranteed to be designed in a way that goes against my best interests.

Yeah, I’m a straight married bearded husky white guy who has taken up carpentry as a hobby, and I have no interest in being part of that industry. I have a relative who is a trumper plumber and the culture fits him perfectly, lol.

It was pretty wild growing up while Moore’s Law was full steam ahead.

I can think of 3 different PCs I built and overclocked during college. Now, my everyday use computer is 8 years old and it’s still pretty dang good.

“Linux ISOs” would stop being the obvious legal use of p2p!

That’s the seasoning.

It’s never spicy enough until you sprinkle enough around!

And culture

And conservatism, I say.

Those first two translate to me as “Remember I hate the same people you do, so it’s OK to struggle while I keep more money. I donate to Republicans, you know.”

10 or 20 years ago I might have excitedly speculated about what will replace the smart phone in 2155. Could it be some kind of glasses or smart contacts that give you private AR-style access to your digital life? Maybe even an implant!

Me now: Still love my technology, do not trust the megacorps that are evil on their own, never mind the fact that the line is blurring between trillion dollar tech companies and the government. Oh and I live in the US, so it’s the raw uncut shit.

With any luck, the closer I personally get to 2155 the less I will continue to use my old-fashioned smart phone. I already lose it in my own house for hours on end. Feels good man.

That strategy works when you uninstall Windows too. :D

Is there anything those damn media companies won’t screw up? Even my frozen Mt Dew, man.

y = mx + b

It’s algebra. It’s linear. 😬

Hol up though…

Is that the Arch flavor or the Fedora flavor? I think that’s important information to have on hand.
