It was never amusing. Earlier it was "only" kids dying of the measles because their dumbass parents were antivaxxers. With COVID-19, it started affecting adults so that's why they get more attention. The public seems to be better able to tolerate children dying of preventable shit than adults.

Honestly? I switched from Windows to Linux. I was working for several years at a Windows-centric computer magazine and realized a couple of years ago that many of the articles I was writing were about how to make Windows behave less like Windows. So I installed some Linux distro in a virtual machine on my work PC to play around with it for a bit. And soon after I installed Manjaro on my PC at home. Today, four years later, I've installed various Linux distros on all my PCs, and I'm much less annoyed by computer issues on a regular basis.

So what are you in jail for?

• driving while pregnant.

Is this a stock picture of Elon crying?

Is Madison the one that became popular in the community after being snarky in a video while they were building a new PC for her? I think I remember her getting a job there afterwards. If I remember correctly, she was really funny.

What is it about him, that makes him look like an asshole? It can't just be his eyes being too close together, can it?

Carnivale

Farscape (imagine if that mini series had been a full season!)

I'm surprised Reddit is bigger than Xitter. Is that mostly because people have been leaving the Musk project in recent years?

Star Trek Discovery mentioned him in the same sentence as the Wright brothers.

No. What a Xwat!

"Microsoft rewards points" wtf?

Durability, battery life, repairability.

Do you remember when people were donating money to one of the younger Kardashians, so she could become the youngest "self-made" billionaire? People are dumb.

Even better: buy a ticket to a concert and buy a shirt. Especially for smaller bands, this is where they make money.

we're no better than medieval peasants who had to bow and scrape for the nobles' favor

It's been like that for decades(centuries?). The rich do as they please and the rest of us are treated like livestock. It's impressive citizens don't revolt more than they do these days.

I almost never imagine what human tails would look like(but then I clicked that link in a post in this thread...😕)

Not enough celebrities there.

That reads like something out of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

I was thinking an episode of Silicon Valley but yeah, Hitchhiker's Guide fits too...

Yes to the original, British version.

they're more like BMWs.

Complete with asshole drivers.

I'm fairly(pun intended) certain my next phone will be a Fairphone. What would be the main reasons not to buy it? I don't mind the size, I don't need an amazing camera but I do wish it had a headphone jack. That said, I expect to flash Lineage on my OnePlus 6 and use it a bit longer, to avoid e-waste for a bit.

Where can you get $75 for your Reddit account?

My gaming rig has an Nvidia GPU as well, and it runs mostly without any problems (I've had to manually update drivers a couple of times) on POP!_OS

I'm still not convinced you're not someone roleplaying as Margot Robbie.

How about that? Isn't it usually your enemies who threaten you with the wrath of god?

Yeah, pretty please.

a different video calling program

What happened to Skype? Did it just become the basis of Teams?

I miss LG phones. They always tried weird shit with their flagships; curved phone?done. Modular phone? Yes. Two screens? Yup. Also their V-series was probably the best phones ever for those of us who value good audio higher than great cameras.

Edit: I used to work as a reviewer for a magazine and used the curved LG G4 for quite a while. I really liked it, though I never actually bought one.

Why would you want to go three minutes without talking about Linux?

How did Steven Alembik make his fortune? One article I read mentioned email, but I couldn't figure out anything else did he own an email provider?

His name is spelled with one "l"; "Wil"

(He'll probably block me for that, if he's on Lemmy)

All these (I'm guessing) stock photos of Elmo are amazing! He looks like an idiot in all of them!

I'm all for eating the rich but this fucker looks rancid.

For gaming, I would add Heroic Games Launcher for Epic Games ang GoG titles. Otherwise a great summary. Welcome back to Linux! I made the switch a couple of years ago and have not had Windows installed on any of my computers since.

That last one reminds me of the upcoming game Squirrel With A Gun

And this happened in Iraq.

I remember Gene Simmons from KISS being very vocal in interviews about the wonders of trickle down economics. I think that was the first time I heard about it, so I read up on it and realized the guy had no idea what he was talking about.

Oh no, we figured it out, but killer robots are profitable while happiness survival is not.

That's how I've been doing it.

What happened to that cage fight?
