Good news then, it's worse in the imperial core every day.

May they all experience gynecomastia.

It is the 90s again for Apple.

Ah, sweet, manmade horrors beyond my comprehension.

Reading chapter 6 of Capital and laughing my ass off as Uncle Karl refutes the notion that so-called service work isn't "real labor" in the same paragraph that he defines labor-power by describing it as a use-value. Should have read this years ago.

Manjaro here. It's essentially Arch with a pleasant installer, reasonable defaults, and a nice desktop theme. I recently had to switch from the KDE build to the Gnome build because KDE does NOT seem to get along with Nvidia GPU drivers right now. Now it's butter. Use Lutris to manage your windows games in their own little sandboxes, 9/10 games you'd swear they're native software. Some actually run better under linux than under Windows 11. Cities Skylines 2 was the most dramatic example. Like 20 extra fps.

There are effectively zero commercial VPN services that will permit P2P traffic on their free servers, because they would be instantly swamped if they did. The few that do permit it for free, you have to ask yourself how they're paying for that bandwidth.

It's AI yeah. Look at all the tech on the table in the middle, it all just dissolves into sludge. Also, it's hard to articulate, but there's something about the way current image generation models generate transparent materials, such as that squat little water bottle in the foreground, that always jumps out to me. I suspect because it's primarily learned what drink container should look like from overlit advertisements.

The fucking audacity of these ancient gargoyles getting fucking blasted on percs all day long while presiding over a vast regime of social murder for poor drug users, and institutions designed to treat anyone seeking the same drugs by authorized means as suspected criminals at every step. It makes me mad enough to puke daggers.

"lets you" Was forced to let you, never forget it.
