I meant that pointing out that you’re helping the person you don’t like isn’t a judgment call or an insult or anything. It’s just describing the mechanics of the system, whether you prefer the good guy or the bad guy.

Your actual vote choice is chock full of morals and ethics though!

You very much do have the right to do that, as you should. And you don’t have to justify it for any reason.

But IF you have a preference between the R and D candidates, and somebody points out that you mathematically helped the one you dislike by voting third party or staying home, they are still correct. It’s not any kind of moral or ethical thing on its own; it’s just a side effect of how our voting system is designed.

At work I dual boot Windows 10 and Linux Mint. It is astounding how much better the user experience is for updates on the Linux side. Or maybe I should say, it’s astounding how much worse the Windows experience is. I think Mint takes about as long to update Firefox, vscode, and my freaking kernel all at once as Windows takes to update Microsoft Defender definitions.

Having a comfortable retirement has already been tied to the value of stocks going up. And a while back republicans wanted to do the same to social security.

LunarVoyager is not in the jokers file. This incident will be reported.

You know what else resembles windows 7?

A default install of Linux Mint!

There are much worse agendas than doing nothing.

If Harris’s entire agenda was “enter cryo-sleep pod in deepest basement of White House for 4 years, sign nothing into law and conduct no diplomacy” I would vote for her over Trump any day of the week.

They’re brown AND their country has a very Spanish sounding name. I can hear talking about it now: “any sumbitches from a place called PWER-TOE REEE-KO ain’t Mexicans just as much as any sand n*****s from Saudi Arabia ain’t AY-RABS!”

My two closest friends that justifiably own trucks are women. They are dirty and beaten up base model chevrolets. They certainly don’t need to compensate for dick size. They just have big dogs and work together on a farm!

I feel like they snuck in a little square of reasonable terms with

Best practices Optimization Industry standard Authenticate

But now that I’ve typed it, I’m scared that optimization and authenticate have gross business-speak definitions I just don’t know about yet.

I almost expect that we’ll see some company reveal it has been letting an AI control the top level decision making for the business itself, including if and when to reveal the AI.

But the funny thing will be that all the executives and board members still have jobs and huge stock awards. They will all pat each other on the back for getting paid more money to do less work, by being bold and taking a risk to let the computer do half their job for them.

Another recommendation for Linux Mint here. Just live boot off a USB drive and try it out. Maybe dual boot for a while if you’re unsure about just getting rid of windows cold turkey.

I use it daily on my work machine (2 year old Dell laptop) and it feels pretty flawless and polished. Even for basic desktop stuff I like it better than windows, but then all the techy Linux shit it’s still there if you care to use it. I use this “user friendly” distro to stare at plain text in monospaced fonts all day, usually between source code files and command-line stuff.
