Had to make a nerve-wracking trip to the ER with a family member (non-COVID related). After the obligatory testing then diagnosis I asked the haggard looking ER doctor what his outlook was on COV-2. He said, "I'll put it this way: Last year, if I knew then what I know now I would've been a lot more scared. It's going to be with us for a decade or two at varying levels of severity. This'll be the one that almost gets us." Yeah, that's a pretty dire and sobering viewpoint, but is he right?

Pack of flatulent meth-heads just moved in down the street.

Watch CNN much?

Yes absolutely. It's not just GAB. There are a bunch of censorship free platforms that are for one, seeing themselves as being on the same chopping block and two, all of them combined is non-trivial. Further, it is not just the businesses in question and there direct need tied to such services for their profitability, there is a hoard of users getting sick of this shit. It is the perfect time for alternatives to rise up and take a shot. Said companies are probably discussing among themselves starting competing services. A few years down the road and those services will be widely known. What we are seeing is innovation in action. Take notes while everything unfolds over the next few years.

No worries, the Giant Tech companies are not responsible for what people say on their platforms. Really this is good news. Gab itself was an innovative reaction to increasing censorship. For that matter BitChute and a few others. So fuck PayPal and Stripe. This will result in competition for them. When you shut something that large out, customers are already waiting.

Nigel Tufnel: [pause] "These go to eleven."

All I saw in that video was a bunch of no longer applicable OS shit memes. The video provided no compelling marketing. I saw nothing of interest. What was presented looked like a social media consuming toy version of a computer. I am on a Windows 10 machine with an ancient FX 8350 and 16 gigs or ram. I wait for nothing except perhaps for compressing and decompressing multi gigabyte directory structures. I have Linux on an old i5 laptop and it is as fast as it can be. For android I have an S8+. For my serious computing needs I really do need 3 machines for my work, expect for the Android. Half the time my SIM card is in an old BlackBerry Classic because it suits all my mobile needs.

Why would I want this? That is what the video should have covered.

Back to Buzzfeed with you! Besides, your lunch period is probably almost over.

If not. Get with the details.

Are you an actual CNN employee?

I like dinosaurs a whole lot.

Back then I was playing with every distro I could get my hands on in the backs of magazines. Caldera, Turbo, etc.. Although with then I moved up to a Cyrix P90 or something.

Pretty sure you can find info on systemd in the Book of Revelation.
