Those are called “laws.” We need to create appropriate “laws” and force corporations to follow them.

Weird concept, I know…

It’s such a shame that you can’t customize the version of zsh running on your Linux-based embedded device because it’s DRM’d to prevent the modified version from being installed.

…oh wait, that’s not sarcasm because it’s actually plausible.

Welp, I guess that outs me as a not-gay; I didn’t even think about those.

It’s permissively-licensed (as opposed to bash, which is GPLv3). Pushing zsh over bash is part of a larger effort by corporations to marginalize copyleft so they can more easily exploit Free Software at the users’ expense. Don’t fall for it!

Bash is copyleft (GPLv3). Zsh is permissively-licensed.

Apple, for instance, switched from bash to zsh when the GPL version upgraded because they wanted to withhold those rights from their users.

Zsh should be considered harmful as a tool of corporate encroachment and subjugation of Free Software.

Are there any historically-accurate depictions of Mary Magdelene? That’d give us the answer.

Come for the memes, stay for the very good relationship advice.

Regular Costco stuff isn’t that much in bulk. To get serious, you gotta go to the Costco Business Center.

whereupon they cold-called me to ask why i was so frustrated despite apparently being in the 95th percentile of all applicants

LOL, “despite.” You were frustrated because you were in the 95th percentile of applicants! Only the shittiest of the incompetents would put up with that nonsense.

a very low-paid job because the work is not for an unethical purpose

Are you hiring?

Zen 3 chips would take roughly just as much rare earth materials to make as Zen 5 ones. Moreover, raw materials availability isn’t the problem right now anyway; fab capacity on the latest process nodes is the problem.

I’m feeling “those are appliances, not utensils” today.

(Except for #2, anyway.)

“It might not matter” is fucking ridiculous. Of course it matters – even if the attempt at obstruction doesn’t succeed, the fact that they tried is still a goddamn outrage!

Luckily, somebody realized they were being a dipshit and changed it. The headline as of when I loaded the page was much less asinine:

The FBI Is Obstructing the Minneapolis Probe. The ICE Shooter Should Still Be Very Worried.
