Now let’s be clear here: I’m only inciting violence. My person committing violence may or may not occur, your honor/ladies and gentlemen of the jury.

I used Cinnamon as a daily driver for ten years, I’ve still got Mint Cinnamon on my laptop, and Fedora KDE on my desktop.

KDE offers Wayland with all its bells and whistles ready to go, but Fedora is the second worst operating system I’ve ever operated. There’s a lot of shit that doesn’t run on it. .rpm is a complete joke compared to .apt, it’s just a shame that Ubuntu is such a joke compared to Fedora. Frankly this might be the perfect time in history to take a fire axe to everything more technologically advanced you own than a wall and go roll around in the mud.

You remember a few years ago when some random town in North Carolina made the national news because some Proud Boys shot out the substation because there was a drag show at a local downtown theater?

I’m from there.

What I learned in those four days without refrigeration or air conditioning is that substations aren’t bulletproof.

I haven’t personally compared Linux performance to WIndows in 10 years. The last vesrion of Windows I used was 8.1. The games I want to play run very well on my Ryzen 7700X, 7900GRE system running Fedora. Subnautica and Satisfactory run great. I don’t care if Windows gets a few fps more, because my computer actually works and doesn’t show me ads in the taksbar or sends everything I paste in a word processing document to the cloud. I get 144 FPS with raytracing in Unreal 5 games. What’s your problem?

Whose this “you” you refer to? XD

Go away! Bait’n!

I know I specified “mass murder,” I don’t think I’ve directly killed anyone, if I have killed anyone it was aviation maintenance related, and I haven’t been interviewed by the NTSB yet, so I take that as a good sign. Does the United States of America still have a National Transportation Safety Bureau? Transportation Safety seems to be the kind of thing a functioning society would want. I remember being a member of a functioning society. Good times.

The only regulation I ever intentionally broke was FAR 91.407(a). I followed the manufacturers instructions to. the. letter. I didn’t like how the rivets looked, they weren’t like the ones I removed. I took that plane up and put it through every maneuver its operating limitations allowed, I pulled on it as hard as a pilot was legally allowed, because if my rivet gun was going to kill anyone, it was going to be me. I landed, signed the airframe logbook and called the customer to pick the plane up. That was the day I met myself. I learned what kind of man I was that day. Every woman I’ve slept with since I replaced that wing strut mount has woken me up from a nightmare about it. I still fantasize about buying that airplane so I can spend 5 hours chainsawing it into 3 pound pieces. I don’t fly, or fix airplanes anymore.

What was I talking about? Oh yeah, bourbon.

I always heard that quote attributed to Joseph Stalin, re the T-34 vs the German Panzer. I’m not one of the two worst men in history, so a pissing match between the worst man in history and the second worst man in history does not impress me, a better human than both. My name isn’t in a single social studies textbook printed anywhere on earth. Get on my level, noobs.

Oh no!

It’s not “be nice goes here” it’s “fruit flavored alcohol goes here.”

Virgins.

So we should just straight-up vandalize them? As much property damage as possible, forget the shotguns, bring bulldozers, gasoline and road flares?

…What forces defend these datacenters? Could a platoon of motivated civilians armed with pump action shotguns carry all the RAM out of one?

Apple sticker: Expensive and easily fenceable electronics in home, car or on person.

Proud Parent of an Honor’s Student from Anytown Middle School: If the sticker is fresh, now we know what school your child goes to. If the sticker is a little faded, probably assume the high school this middle school feeds.

Apartment complex, gated community or work parking stickers are also fun.

They get shot just for going to school. Or being brown.

I’ve barely ever used Discord, I’m not entirely sure I understand how it works, because individuals host their own servers? “Join my Discord server.” So, Discord as a business provides software and…user account brokerage? In terms of functionality, it does basically what an IM client/forum engine and Ventrilo did?

There is something about the slightly bad kerning of QT that gives KDE a vaguely Windows 95 feel. Especially when you start installing extensions that make no attempt to resemble each other; there is nothing I can do to make my CPU temperature meter and my system clock look like they belong on the same computer.

Gnome on the other hand feels like MacOS with meningitis. It’s designed to look nice, but not necessarily do anything.

Nothing really stops you from using OctoPrint with a Prusa…other than it feeling really awkward having bought a machine with networking built-in only to end around it.

Which is why it’s important to starve them for attention, and thus ad revenue, now.

By actively selecting these videos, watching them, sometimes multiple times through, going back to them to show them to me “You’ve got to see this video I saw” god hate fucking dammit, she’s driving revenue toward their uploaders, which is causing them to pave over the entire continent of North America with data centers that are destroying the concept of truth itself and murdering the environment.

It’s not that hard to spot; my mother will watch them sometimes. A parrot using complete sentences and witty turns of phrase about a cat trying to attack them? Yeah no. But how do you get a “I just want to sit under my blanket, eat soup and watch cute animal videos” boomer retiree to understand she’s destroying the world by paying attention to this?
