Of course it hasn’t. He can just publish it and all his ball licker fans will just gobble it up.

We are well beyond compassion here. These are the folks who have proven they cannot learn from their own mistakes.

She’s deportable to somewhere she doesn’t want to go, definitely.

Some people are just lost and can’t be saved. My she be washed away and forgotten to time.

Go’on, GIT!

They were named by an old lady from the Southern US. Say it with a twang.

AI provides no knowledge and only makes its users dumber for relying on it. Don’t we have enough SciFi episodes out there to have already learned this lesson?

I always look for the companies that are advertising heavily. If we could see their books, I’d say the ones that spend more on marketing than engineering, product, and ops are likely the ones who will enshittify, eventually. They are building the product or service to sell later so they are trying to drum up users and corner the market.

Unfortunately, this is just about everything in the US now.

If only we could have the real Terry Crews as president.

This is it folks, we’ve gone full Idiocracy.

A special kind of stupid cult at that level. The top guys are con men and the followers are rubes.

No one likes little teddy, it appears.

And here I thought that was a screencap from the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Very true. Pretty much everything is made up from something they saw on CSI or NCIS the night before. They are trying hard to make their “industry” cerebral when it just isn’t.

Same here. Both my brother and I are left-handed. I’m the analytical engineering type. He’s the musician type. I’m about as creative as an algorithm. He got the creative talent genes in the family.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t. I’m just saying that we tend to sensationalize the wording more and more each day. Eventually, there will no longer be words strong enough to get the appropriate attention and people will suffer because of it.

I’m not faulting Anker. I’m faulting Gizmodo.

Ahh, the sensationalist headlines. “STOP USING THESE NOW OR YOU WILL DIE!”

I’m not calling out you, OP. This is just the nature of journalism now. “OH OH, LOOK AT ME!”

I gave snaps a fair shake as well. I’ve never been beholden to any specific distro or family line either so I’ve always been open for new and better. I just struggled with the lock-in and the slower responsiveness.

I didn’t have much trouble with updates on the Arch side but I saw it more as an accomplishment than a daily driver. I did run it for a few years on an older system where I needed to squeeze out efficiency. I haven’t been one of those users that needed to tweak everything always for a long time.

I also appreciate the delineation between regular updates and security updates. I did my biweekly system updates for work yesterday and that delineation helps me gauge the time it will take before pressing enter.

You assume I give a shit about the state where I live.

That’s my only concern with running pure Arch. I like my computer to be usable. I’m well beyond the state where I want to spend more time tinkering and repairing than using. I do like the idea of rolling release but not bleeding edge (i.e., released 5 minutes ago). Also, I removed snaps from my Kubuntu instance first thing.
