Some people have a real problem with "congress shall make no law".

If this was what was happening, few people would have a problem with it.

What was happening is that factual information, that ran counter to the approved narrative was being squelched via collusion between the public and private sectors. That's a problem.

You may not mind when you agree with the censors but the day always comes when people with whom you disagree get the reigns.

Once some of the newer deeper wells are shut off it will take a lot of money to turn them back on.

The Supreme Court operates without a code of ethics.

Why should anyone trust anything they say?

Shame MISC never took off or we could see 5000 core processors or something ridiculous like that.

The scaling for this new arch in terms of the number of onboard processors is going to be insane though. We might see 32 core processors with 16 big boys and 16 efficiency cores become the norm in a few years. That is huge.

Intel's new server lineup is rumored to be verging on 1000 with 500+ cores already revealed.

GI Joe, Transformers, He-Man, She-Ra, Jem and the Holograms... All of those shows were long ass commercials intended to introduce kids to their newest toys so that we could pester our parents to get them.

They were still fun to watch.

Where he once suggested charging gamers for bullets when they ran out in MMOFPS games.

If you can't change your diction with the times you probably should start looking at retirement.

Younger people don't want to deal with the drama of some old guy who believes he is entitled to never change his behaviour around others since he was hired 20-30-40 years ago. Every single time I hear someone say they can't "act like themselves" the "actions" they are talking about are always demeaning of others. Why is that?

When I first started working in the late 1990's the Network Operation Center I worked at had fold-out Playboy posters in the break room - albeit the nipples were covered up with google-eyed stickers. I complained and they were down the next day, and an old guy who started on Sys V became livid. He then started messing with people's food who he thought had "ratted him out". They fired him, and he had the audacity to list us as references.

The folks who are the most problematic in any gig are the ones who don't realize that everyone can be replaced, and refuse to change.

Learning standard and a few special CLI commands is important for any operating system.

Knowing commands like SFC /scannow on windows saves a lot of frustration.

Learning how to use mv, cp, cd, etc on Linux takes only 15-20 minutes.

If you have bog standard hardware running any gnome desktop-based distro is relatively pain free nowadays.

Even Steam with with Proton makes gaming easy for anything except some DX 11+ titles. Some DX 9 titles run better on proton than Windows 11.

I steer my colleagues towards it when they ask what is the best starting point for the linux command line.

The other resources mentioned already are good as well.

I still have not got around to watching Game of Thrones because I have so many other things to do including a stack of books I have not read.

TBH, it is starting to feel like too much media, not too little.

I want to see more of this kind of thing.

Companies have gotten too used to fucking people over and facing no more severe a backlash than some angry emails or an ineffective boycott.

I want executives to be afraid that some unhinged person will show up on their back porch, à la Paul Pelosi, if they screw people over too badly.

Trying to look up troubleshooting info on Google for anything that has a price tag is like 1/3rd ads and links to storefronts at a min.
