And this is why Lienus hates unions so much, cause it would have held him and his company accountable for the nasty, abusive shit they do behind the scenes.

Ah yes.. forever and again, the siren song of children being used as an excuse for draconian, rights eroding legislation.. its amazing how much responsibility parents have shirked to the state as they replace babysitters with cellphones and tablets.

Streaming has become cable 2.0.

It was wonderful when everything was on one, maybe two providers. Could watch everything in a very easy, very affordable way.

But everyone saw that, went "I know, I want that money!" and spent billions building their own individual infrastructures so make their own streaming services, and right around we go right back to the absolute worst days of cable and bullshit.

Only thing stopping me from saying fuck it and downloading shit I want to watch, is the fact that I no longer know what the good sites are.. since I havent pirated since the heyday of the bay.

in one of the WAN shows he went on a big handwringing tirade about how "unions means I'm a failure as an employer" with undertones of "You wouldnt want to make me a failure by unionizing, right?"

I wonder what has the other half of the Linux market. Linux, perhaps?

It took longer than I care to admit to realize this was satire.

Which says something about the world and life.

another example of why apple laptops are so expensive.

80% of the price is to cover the R&D for fucking over the consumer.

Seriously, tying the goddamn *hall effect sensor to the system so it cant be replaced? Thats some freaking cyberpunk level corpo shitbaggery.

I'm seeing several posts that are startling evidence for the essential nature of proper sex education, lol.

I wonder if segregation was the intention.

Wondering why previous employees left after the workplace is revealed to be a toxic, abusive shithole is not making things up.

Its not the governments job to make up for absent parenting.

If you dont want your kids seeing things or doing shit online, its your job to monitor them and talk to them about it.

Stop throwing your kids a tablet and expecting that to be the fuckin parent.

There has never been a bigger argument for the essential need for proper sex education.

Just imagine how bad it is, behind closed doors and with the Cameras off, considering what the employees said in that LTT employee opinion video on camera, that GN repeatedly referenced, that they were over worked and didnt have time to make anything right.

I ran afoul of this.

Someone came up and suckerpunched the absolute fuck out of me from behind, Was someone who I never even interacted with, commented towards, or even thought about. I still think, to this day, he just wanted to look like a bad ass by hitting the biggest kid in the grade.

Because they used a crutch to get around due to a gimpy leg, and because I was over a foot taller, I was deemed the aggressor.. and no amount of witnesses saying otherwise would convince the principle of my innocence. and because the office was so convinced of it, no one in my family believed me either, so no one fought against it. I had to complete a program for "violent" teens before I was allowed to return to school.. a program that was little more than slave labor in the hottest not-summer-break months, where I got accused of being a (gay slur) because only (Gay slur)'s drink their drinks the way I did, apparently. Was a super happy fun time learning experience.

I totally don't still carry the rage and bitterness about it to this day at all. Nope. not at all.

This is nothing more than reddit pushing their luck with european data laws, and finally relenting and going "OMG if your stuff wasnt deleted it was your fault, not ours, We promise it'll totally work this time if you do it again, since we've turned off our desperation measures after being threatened by fines by the EU"

ext4 being old, and still being the main file system most distros use by default, should be enough alone to tell you being old isnt bad.

it means its battle tested, robust, stable, and safe. Otherwise it wouldnt be old and still be in widespread use.

If anything, it should be California thats pissed off, having all its tax money go to support the failed red states and their failed policies via the federal redistribution.

I can not tell you how many videos and channels I avoid because of that shit.

also ones that have dumb ass thumbnails that do nothing to hint about the content.

Only thing I want from firefox is to select where I want to download to on mobile.

I have a massive SD card in my device for a fuckin reason.. to download shit to it instead of my sparse internal, built in space.

They could at least make the random PoI's interesting if there was some..randomness to them.

Like, I walk into a PoI, I already know where the chests are, the locked doors, are, where the stupid fucking corpse in the shower is, etc etc. cause I've ran through this PoI 20 times.

I dont know why at least the locations of chests and locked doors cant be randomized. Make things at least marginally interesting, instead of cookie cuttered to extreme.

I learned that I also wanted to fuck that guys dead wife.

Still better security consciousness than 99% of the population.

Makes you wonder about Maxine leaving now.

Yep, he got caught with his manipulative word play this time by GN, but it also gives context for everything he's said in the past and puts new light on them, because this isnt something people just wake up and decide to do one day. Its something they do their entire life.

Fuck no. If I fucking wanted to talk to those fucks I'd fucking talk to them. If I fucking wanted them to have fucking information about me, I'd fucking give it to them.

There is not enough fucking fucks to emphasis how fucking bad, how fucking stupid, and how fucking deranged this idea is.

fuck

he said he supported unions, but doesnt want a union at his business.

he said we should call out bad companies, until its his company thats being called out.

Says he cares about employees, but ignores sexual harassment, abuse, and overworks them beyond capacity.

He says a lot of shit, until hes on the receiving end of it.

Alright, Thats all bullshit.

The planet can easily support our population. Hell, the planet could support double our population.

The only reason why everything has gone to shit is the Rich and their greed. They've bought off governments to continue destroying the planet in their draconic lust for larger piles of gold to sit on, and adamantly refuse to change course for fear of it taking even a single, meaningless coin from their horde to do it.

We have more than enough food to feed the whole planet, but capitalism has decided its more "cost effective" to burn half of it to maintain shareholder prices.

There would be more than enough water available for everyone, but cleaning its to costly so lets just find another aquifer to drain and pollute.

The climate would have been fine, if corporations and their dumping of terratons of pollution into the air wasnt handwaved away as "Well, its consumers fault, if they just skipped meals and stopped using paper, none of this would have happened".

More time and money and research has been spent on how to let the rich and corporations escape blame, than has been spent on trying to prevent these problems that scientists have been warning about for over 100 years.

His list is so expansive he cant even list one item from it in response.

Technically game works great.

The admin, on the other hand.. thats your problem.

Thats been my enduring gripe about linux.

95% of the time, it works flawlessly and to an astonishing degree considering, in my case, most of what i'm doing is running windows games at reasonable high detail. Something that I didnt think was feasible like 5ish years ago, which makes it triply amazing.

but its that last 5% thats just a miserable fucking slog. Tiny little things like that, that should be so easy, and seem so obvious, yet to do them is next to impossible or convoluted to hell. Like not being able make middle mouse buttom autoscroll instead of paste, or having to edit some obscure file directly to do the thing you need, or being obscure as fuck and difficult to, say, install a second program into a proton prefix for when you want to use a save editor or something for a game you've played a thousand times.

Windows 7.

It was the peak of windows.

It was slick. It was fast. It was stable, and it was super easy to use. Never had a single problem with it, and unlike past windows OS's it didnt require regular reformats to clean house for stability.

Unfortunately its dead now, and Microsoft abandoned that approach and switched to a slow burn approach at walled gardening.

I use Linux now, have been for years, because I saw where microsoft was going when Win10 was in previews, and there was no way I was going to be part of it.. So I jumped ship as soon as EoL was announced for Win 7

This.

Its sad the amount of people that cant make this logical baby step.

Small towns need to be made a bit smaller, so they stop being cesspits.

So many posts here are examples of why robust sexual education is a dire necessity, lol.

I am growing to dislike Ubuntu.

Simply because its so old, that anytime I try to find a solution to a problem, I'm wading through 15 years of shit, 99% of which isnt relevant anymore due to age/depreciation.

The trend of every thing and service having its own app, and pushing all this shit to phones and away from computers and websites..

And the reason that everyone and their mother pushes you to use apps, is because the amount of information they can harvest and tracking they can do far exceeds what they could ever hope to collect with a stand alone browser with its pesky privacy controls and security.. and everyone gleefully gives these apps every permission they ask for, even though they should never require access to 95% of it to function, because they cant let anything get in the way of getting their immediate gratification.

The irony of calling someone whiny while whining.

Yeah. Who thought posting something relevant from a website dedicated to gaming on linux would have any place in a god damn Linux gaming community!

No one, because the only people in my life either wouldnt give a fuck, or would try to basically turn it into a competition ("Oh, you have X? I have X too, only worse. And also Y.").

So I internalize it and push it all down into a tight little ball in my lower abdomen, until the day comes where it becomes a cancer and consumes me.

couldnt they do the thing where one team analyzes the leaked code and documents functions.

and a nother, clean room team, creates independent fresh code to achieve the same results as the original?

I mean, clean room activity like that has a strong precedent, going back to EA vs Sega at least. where EA stole a sega genesis dev kit, had one team document the functions, had another team independently create code to execute those functions,and made their own dev kid and put out non-approved sega carts (which is why the EA sega carts were taller and had the yellow plastic tag)

Sega sued and EA won due the clean room engineering and sega and EA came to some kind of sweetheart deal/comrpromise/settlement.
