Infosys founder Narayama Murthy has tripled down on his previous statements that 70-hour work weeks are what’s needed in India and revealed he also thinks weekends were a mistake.
Oh look. It’s this asshole again.

I recommend Linux Mint with the default Gnome/Cinnamon desktop. I think it’s the most “Windows-like” (You can add other desktops later on without having to reinstall anything. KDE Plasma is really nice). The installer found all my hardware for me and set it up, including my network printer. It installed my nVidia drivers (even gave me a choice of several with a ‘Recommended’ one at the top).
The LibreOffice suite is already included, which should take care of your productivity needs. (It recognizes and can read/write MS-Office documents). Thunderbird will take care of your email needs.
There’s also a utility called TimeShift, which works like Windows System Restore. Since you’ll be making a lot of changes the first month or so, it’s a great way to undo any screw-ups. Make sure you create a Restore Point before you do any serious fiddling. Even if you make your system unbootable, you can boot from a Linux Mint flash drive and run TimeShift that way, too.
Gaming is awesome. Steam has a native linux client, which uses a version of Wine called Proton, which has all the settings needed to run your games. Basically, everything I bought on Steam under Windows, runs in Linux. (NOLF 1 was the only game I couldn’t get to completely work. No music, I think the game uses DirectPlay for music, which no games seem to use anymore).
Microsoft added a CoPilot icon to my Windows 10 Taskbar yesterday. It looks to me like they’re not going to take “no” for an answer.
They also added a “it’s time to upgrade to Windows 11” full screen message on my login screen (with the option to decline in tiny text).
I switched to Linux Mint several months ago. Thanks to Proton, All my Steam games that I bought for Windows run great. (I’m using an nVidia RTX 3060). And any older games like “Deus Ex” or “Giants: Citizen Kabuto” run under Wine, using the default settings.
And by “neutral buffer state” they mean a Russian territory, that can’t elect its own leaders, has no control over its resources and lives under a permanent Russian occupation.
Any idiot who says, “your body, my choice” at Thanksgiving is going to get force fed a drumstick the hard way. It is long past time to stop being polite with them. Women are dying because of this.
Yeah, just keep giving up power to Trump, GOP. He hardly needs you right now to do whatever he wants.
Don’t worry. I’m sure the bank will understand.
My plan is to simply avoid ALL contact with MAGAs unless I’m forced to work with them. The same way you would avoid a meth-addled pit bull.
I’m not going to let them think their point of view is “fine” by pretending to be civil to them. It’s not.
The only other explanation is that those 14 million Democrats DID vote, but that their votes weren’t counted due to election day farkery. But I’m not ready to go down that rabbit hole without solid proof.
You don’t get to have a “perfect” candidate. Most of the time, your choices are between which choice you dislike the least. And when the choices are between Harris and another 4 years of Donald farking Trump . . . well holy jumping shitballs . . . that should have been the easiest choice in the world.
Fark EVERYONE who made this possible. And enjoy your precious little “protest vote” Dems. This is your fault, too.
What I would like to know the most is why 14 million registered Democrats failed to vote in this election, especially given what is at stake. Because if it was for some stupid, single issue, then fark them, good and hard.
Carlson isn’t smart enough to pimp for coal or oil or by saying they were “sent by God.” He could grift a little money that way. But Tucker’s cheese slid off his cracker a long time ago.
And anyone stupid enough to believe this nonsense should have a decomissioned nuclear reactor set up in their village square. Then, they can all stand around it and beat it with sticks to “drive out the demons”. Win-win for everybody. It gives them something to do, where they’re not making life miserable for everyone else, and it gives us a place to store our nuclear waste.
Especially for a guy with a “Divine Plan.” Did God have to change his plan? For Donald Trump?
That’s the Fark squirrel. And we all know what it’s doing to Donald.
And the thing is: Trump is not a clever man. In fact, he’s blantantly, obviously, ferociously stupid. He didn’t just appear out of nowhere. The rest of us have been watching this dog eat grass for the last 50 years.
Proton is amazing. All the Steam games I bought in Windows run great in Linux Mint.
Pakleds: “Tucker Carlson is smart. He makes the news go.”
Newt Gingrich? That fat turd from the 1990s?
This is that “liberal news media” that MAGAs keep yammering on about. The one that’s owned by six corporations.
