That’s… what settlers are.

The land isn’t unoccupied. The people who were there before are going to be a constant problem for the settlers because they will always resent being pushed out of their homes.

The settlers have to kill or permanently displace the people who lived in the land they’re trying to settle in order to settle it.

That’s what the process is.

Theyre settlers.

They’re violently displacing and killing the people on the land they want to settle.

European governments will do this thing where they pass some law that says they have to take bids from local vendors for systems, olafs computer service will put in a bid with some free software system, the government will take them up on it, spend a bunch of money trying to integrate it into their existing systems with varying degrees of success then parlay abandoning it for their majority provider in exchange for avoiding cost increases or some free support/equipment.

I think Germany’s done it twice now.

Car stereos.

They used to have buttons and tape decks and cd players in em. From the factory.

I don’t want to do a complex install of some aftermarket thing. I want a car stereo with buttons, knobs, a tape deck, cd player, am/fm and aux input that looks like it belongs in my cars interior and is designed with the same ideas as the rest of the cars controls.

Don’t look too deeply into this unless you’re comfortable discovering that the military and security state is a prolific contributor to many open source projects.

Duh.

It’s astounding to me that a second January sixth isn’t at the top of people’s minds this go round.

Not because it’ll be successful (although there’s always a chance) but because we already have elected officials who believe that trump won the 2020 election and there will only be more this time around.

What’s the long term effect of legitimizing disbelief in a functioning democracy? America never was one, but what does it mean when there’s double or triple digit numbers of elected officials who publicly say so?

The usual explanation for distrust in government has nothing to do with people recognizing reality and changing their views based on it but instead blames that change on lack of bread and circuses, no basics of life and no distraction from reality.

We certainly don’t have the basics of life, but the distraction machine is running like a champ slaps hood you could fit like seven more dissociative technologies in this sucker!

What combination of lack of basic necessities and distractions are driving people’s belief (true or false!) that the election was stolen and that our fake democracy is actually fake?

If you’re currently running a rpm distro, you can make it easier on yourself by using the duke nukem forever command to make a list of your installed programs: dnf list installed.

Once that’s outputting an appropriate format, dump it into a text file with | oldprogs.txt.

On your new computer, that same duke nukem forever command can be used to install from the list with something like dnf install << oldprogs.txt

I bet you can come up with a way to stuff all that into a neat little one liner that’ll provide error handling, output teeing and everything else!

Boeing put it there.

Because most oss maintainers are more afraid of their work disappearing due to service shutdowns than they are being profiled by data miners.

Everyone has seen some example of a tool or resource hosted on a persons private server end up taken down because they couldn’t afford it, the isp or university stopped offering hosting or because they simply couldn’t keep doing it due to death or old age.

That’s what people who create software are afraid of. The loss of that creation, not the loss of the privacy of people who contribute to it or download it.

Because you’re not expected to have a home life that takes precedence over work anymore.

Rotating shifts sacrifice the employees everything to reduce staffing and training costs.

You’re a cyborg agent for a new branch of the federal government formed in response to a terrorist attack on us soil tasked with performing extrajudicial acts in order to keep access to the treatment for a pandemic under government control.

In the opening cutscene the governments response to the pandemic is revealed to be “let it rip” for profit.

It’s a phenomenal game and very fun.

it's only a waste if you don't like it...

He’s a merry fellow, bright blue his jacket is and his boots are yellow.
