Die Fediversum-zu-Trans Pfeifenlinie ist echt!

American history be like

people moved west and built railroads, casinos or parking lots, depending on their skin color

Man könnte die Menschen in der Zeit auch losbinden.
Aber es konnte kein Personal mit der dafür vorgeschriebenen Schulung angefordert werden, weil das Fax-Gerät defekt ist.

Die Hälfte der Nutzer vergessen schlicht das Hochladen einer Rechnung nach 6 Monaten, ein weiterer Teil scheitert an der idiotischen 200KB Größenbegrenzung für die PDF, ein weiterer Teil scheitert daran, die versteckte Schaltfläche für die Beantragung im Kundencenter zu finden, ein weiterer Teil gibt auf, weil der Cashback dann einfach trotzdem nicht ausbezahlt wird wenn man sich nicht beschwert.
Am Ende bekommen die hartnäckigsten und technisch versiertesten 10% der Neukunden tatsächlich das Geld zurück.

Aber in allen Preisvergleichsportalen ist der Cashback voll mit eingerechnet, so dass der Anbieter bei den Billigsten ganz oben steht.

Open Source software is not a product that needs marketing.
The devs making Gimp gain literally nothing from you downloading and using it.
Stop applying capitalist logic to one of the few aspects of life that haven’t been monetized yet.

Pazifismus hat man ihm ja noch nie nachsagen können.

but some days thats not feasible.

Wat. Some days it isn’t feasible to have your windshield free from ice while you’re driving???

If your car doesn’t have a function to pre-heat it, you can buy a pre-heater for not very much money.
You can buy a windshield cover to put on in the evening for even less money.
Or put 2-3 hot water bottles on the dash first thing in the morning. That’s enough to melt the ice on the windshield.

Great, now I’m burnt out and feeling guilty about it.

When you run OpenSUSE, you can feel it was made by Germans.
The installer is a beautiful example of German engineering.
The package manager is a perfect example of German over-engineering.
If you run it with KDE, you have 2 redundant GUI admin tools for every config in the system, and 4 for setting up printers.

Cops suck at their job, and they hate it if you explain it to them.
I can’t remember a single time in my 40-years-long life when a cop genuinely helped me in any way,
apart from writing a report (full of errors and spelling mistakes) that my insurance demanded.
And I really don’t believe they “make the streets safer” either.

Fuck you, you really made me check on my phone if all my text looks like this :(
(Your comment showed up “fine”, by the way)

Yes, I think I will. Not exclusively, of course. But starting Firefox in Wayland just takes a key combo and 5 seconds if needed.

your sole purpose is to slowly expand across the surface of an alien world and you can instead contemplate the quality of nutrients.

Zoom out far enough, and that describes humanity, too.

Esperain

He was forced to move from California back to Minnesota cause he couldn’t afford life on the west coast anymore.
Recently he stated in an interview that it’s getting tight in Michigan, too.
But he still has a hobby of restoring old cars from the 60’s so he’s not starving.
I’m donating a monthly amount to him (roughly the equivalent of what I’d pay for an M365 subscription), cause IMO Slackware needs to survive.
Unfortunately, he’d need about 200 regular donaters like that to live off, and Slackware’s user base probably isn’t large enough for that anymore.

Where I live, there are now supermarkets without employees. You scan your card to open the door, shop, and do self-checkout. I assume if you just leave, they’ll deduct the value of the items you took from your account.
They don’t offer alcohol, though. Cause there’s no way to check if you’re of drinking age.
