Linux Mint isn’t perfect, but at least it’s not constantly trying to steal my shit or force something on me that I don’t want.

Good. Can every other company please do this too??

I know this has nothing to do with my home computer, but this just further affirms my decision to switch to Linux earlier this year.

“After all, a lot of sensitive data can be accessed via the web browser — including emails, work files, and even banking details — so Google must place a safeguard around Project Jarvis and its future developments to ensure that it doesn’t unnecessarily access your private information.”

Narrator: They did NOT place any safeguards around the project.

Thank goodness for Linux.

Wait until they hear about cell phones.

Mitt Romney says “Hi.”

Guidance counselors. One of them tried to convince my parents that I was on drugs…in 4th grade. Turned out that I had an undiagnosed mental disorder.

And on the third try, you think you accidentally failed to hit the last key, and so you have to start all over again.

The sad thing is that most people won’t even give a damn.

I’m also considering just getting a portable, 128GB FLAC player with a minijack connection and moving on with my life without getting involved in networking at all.

Yeah, I’d say that this is definitely the way to go. My .mp3 player only has something like 8 gigs of storage, but it takes a MicroSD card. With a 1 tb card, I can carry all the music I want (and realistically, given that your collection is pretty small, you could get away with a whole lot less than that).

Good for them! Hopefully this leads to a stronger labor movement nationwide.

I look forward to the day when my refrigerator stops working because the company went bankrupt, or because their server was down.

I pity the poor fool who sets up their smart TV instead of just grabbing an HDMI cable and plugging in their computer.

Is it sufficient to set the Enhanced Tracking Protection to “Strict” (which claims to block cross-site cookies in all windows), or is there something else you have to do?

Fuck.

Posts like this remind me just how grateful I am for the Fediverse.

I was already going to crawl over cut glass to vote for her/against Drumph. Walz doesn’t change anything for me, but if Internet comments are to be believed, picking him does make me slightly more optimistic about our chances come November.

Literally the plot of a dystopian movie from 20 years ago.

Edit: Thank you, kind stranger!
