I haven’t even given Kirst a thought since Nirvana stopped touring in the 90’s. I wonder what Kurt would say if he was still alive though.

Ya. Its laughable. It reminds me of this Nirvana song: In Bloom.

Who GNU Linux could be so fun?

This looks fun. I got a Kobo. I wish it was opensource. It would be cool if some people were to team up with Fairphone and make a Fairbook project to make a light weight device with USB-C charging and long lasting battery life. There needs to be a bigger incentive if the firmware is ever going to get better. You could just use Linux as per usual tho.

It was a breath of fresh air for me.

There are no comprehensive alternatives that can functionally fill the gap. They have had more than enough time to make one. Its all posturing. Opposition and faking until enough power is accumulated that it is no longer necessary to do so. That’s the plan.

Its not a bug, its a feature. The end game has lots of backdoor deals.

Hold on. Let me check… Oh wait, I didn’t buy any Ubisoft games, I wonder why? I wanted to play AC, but there must be a reason.

I think you are underestimating what some 8 yos are capable of. Of course, this was a girl, but many have a sense of well developed empathy at that age.

Putlers Youth to a theater near you, coming soon. Fuck that guy!

The rich and powerful have taken vast amounts of resources and wealth from mostly everyone. They need to keep the people divided to maintain their power. Soon, with AI, they may keep that disparity forever.

Those classic Kermit vids were the bomb.

You can’t unless you form a small group like a non profit organization or a business. You can cheat the system legally going the NPO route as long as you find a way to fulfill legal requirements, but you need friends (it helps to know someone in law school too) and you have to do the legal paperwork and share all the cost. You could make a gamer NPO for example. The price to do this will vary depending on where you live. The price for the volume license can vary a lot depending on where you get it from. Where your group is located effects this. In my local it is about $200-400 USD per person.

Your other alternative is the grey market. Its grey because it is legally ambiguous.

My machine running Win10 LTSC is getting updates until 2029. I also have machines running Debian. There is no way I am installing the regular version of Win11. Its trash made to pander to greedy shareholders. If they take the garbage out for LTSC, I might run it.

This is a good read.

On a side note: Anyone remember the story of the guy that went on vacation and his buddy watching the place left the gay porn on pause on the plasma screen as a joke?

I started blocking those from appearing when they first showed up. There are a number of ways to do it. The Blocktube extension is one.

Fundie’s natural enemies are logic science and facts.

I second the Ham Radio License idea. Now days, you can even get your license without the Morse code tests.

Hopefully soon we will have a chance to witness something that does. Those laser sailing satellites should be able to do the trick.
