More, if you read between the lines.

So, you really think that a new CEO will act any differently? No lives were saved. The problem is the system. Not an individual CEO.

You don't understand that criticizing hypocrisy is not the hypocritical part?

The criticism is not that they go on grinder. It is that they go in grinder while being publicly homophobic.

Skipped the gym? Not the Christ depicted in so many churches where he looks like an Olympic gymnast, 6 pack and all.

I don't like unmatching cutlery. Every fork needs to be the same style and bent at the same angle so they can "spoon" neatly in the drawer. (Yes, incorrect the bend when I see one who deviates) What kind of monster do you think I am.

In fact, that's why my wife and I live in different apartments. Her drawer loons like the thrift shop cutlery box. 😱

Edit: I'm just reading that people consider forks "bad" when the times are unaligned. It's quite easy to align them. I check them after each wash. Using a knife to slightly bend them in place does the trick.

I always wonder what happened to forks in other houses where they are all bent. Do people chew on them?

What did you think I asked about Windows?

"Misterious"?. In that same line of thought, there have been some misterious décapitations of cartel members in northern mexico.

Ad I said. I realized I can't have an opinion because my experience is old.

With that said following your tools analogy, and based on that old experience. imagine if over time, your tools became slower and slower until someone came to do maintenance and mine didn't. Or if when you were closing shop for the day, the tools started updating and you couldn't close the tool box.

Now, based on what other people are saying, imagine that every now and then your tools at home stopped to play an ad for more tools.

You wouldn't see this from corporate tools because someone else takes care of it and it doesn't show ads.

By the way. I used Windows really well (since the early days) so I could call myself an expert at the time. In my early life I was the one behind the scenes ensuring people could work seamlessly. I never really liked it the way I like Linux.

So no, not all tools are the same. But if you like yours, all the best.

I left before the ads era. That's sounds awful. I'll search to see how they look.

You mean my distros?

Different distros are the best for different purposes.

My Fedora is the best for my laptop because it just works and all the hardware is supported.

My Arch is the best because it's a super fine tuned setup that prevents distractions and doesn't waste memory or CPU doing things I don't care about.

My mint is the best because it's simple, stable, beautiful out of the box.

My debian is the best because servers are no nonsense.

My puppy Linux was the best when I was a developer for the distro because it was the smallest lightest and fastest distro I've ever used.

Etc.

 

I see so many people claiming that windows is crap and that's why they moved to Linux.

That got me thinking: I can no longer have an opinion in the matter. I haven't used Windows at home since 2004. I used it at work until the beginning of 2019 but someone else maintained it, since then, I haven't had the need to touch windows.

Whether good or bad, I feel I'm not as knowledgeable as I was.

Well, actually, two years ago I cleaned up and "revived" my dad's desktop which was taking two minutes to boot and about the same time to open the first app. After installing an SSD and a couple of hours of clean-up, it was as fast as new. I guess with proper maintenance it can be good enough. However, isn't it the main criticism about Linux? That you "need to know" to use it?

People complain about Linux drivers, but as far as I remember, it was quite common that new versions of Windows dropped old drivers and your perfectly good printer/scanner/video card/etc. became a paperweight. Is that still the case?

Let me repeat, a big part of the success of windows is due to piracy. In developing countries, poor people rely on it. Eventually they may become educated and well, they know how to use windows.

If windows/office becomes annoying with the ads then people will look for alternatives.

"CCTV footage has been misconstrued."

Don't believe your eyes or the woman! Say the rapists.

"I was doing an alcohol test with my fine tongue while my hands were looking for drugs or weapons. I was multitasking!"

I mean, their lawyer can argue all they want. If there is video, it will have to be heavy law contortionism.

 

It seems that CK message got to me. Somehow, I don't feel empathy.

Have you reflected on that? The less empathy you feel, the more you are honouring his memory.

And the more you celebrate the way he died, the more his message stays true.

Weird. This started as a shitpost and then got serious.

I chose to try to feel empathy for his children and still denounce gun violence and lack of action to stop it.
