I hope that heartless, sociopathic pile of shit had time before he lost consciousness to feel as alone and confused and scared as he made so many hundreds of thousands of people feel to line his pockets with more money than he’d ever know what to do with.

I’ll leave you all to decide if this is outrage bait or not, especially since I don’t concern myself with the cancer that is variety streaming.
Do I get to be depraved and evil if I drink plant milk? I haven’t had a glass lately, but that actually sounds refreshing.
TheTechnician27@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which book(s) left a lasting impression on you?English3·5 days agoSomething Happened, the other, far lesser-known work by Catch-22 author Joseph Heller. It’s too apples-to-oranges to throw around “better”, but I already love Catch-22 and still prefer Something Happened. It’s considerably longer, but in my opinion, it’s criminally overlooked.
I remember speculating as a (small) kid that the AI soldiers in Battlefront II’s local multiplayer might be real people employed by the developer. Not the brightest child was I.
TheTechnician27@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•The Harbinger of the DystopiaEnglish6·5 days agoFair point! I entirely agree with that perspective in other areas. If we’re using this as an example, then I understand why, but I actually think this is one example where the change is a tangibly good thing.
Why did I think the centaur on the left was a man doing unspeakable things to a small elephant
sudo
is telling the computer to do this with root privileges.chmod
sets permissions.- Each digit of that three-digit number corresponds to the owner, the group, and other users, respectively. It’s 0–7, where 0 means no access and 7 means access to read, write, and execute. So
077
is the exact inverse of700
, where077
means “the owner cannot access their own files, but everyone else can read, write, and execute them”. Corresponding700
to asexuals is joking that nobody but the owner can even so much as touch the files. /
is the root directory, i.e. the very top of the filesystem.- The
-R
flag says to do this recursively downward; in this case, that’s starting from/
.
So here, we’re modifying every single file on the entire system to be readable, writable, and executable by everyone but their owner. And yes, this is supposed to be extremely stupid.

TheTechnician27@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•The Harbinger of the DystopiaEnglish82·6 days agoI’m actually going to say that I think designing a restaurant for disastrously unhealthy fast food in a way that makes it look and feel like a playground shouldn’t be legal, and I’m happy to see them look as dull and unappealing as possible to young children.
The ongoing health crisis is so severe in no small part because of things like that 1990s picture getting kids addicted to trash. This post feels like someone from the 1970s yearning for the days of Joe Camel. Plain packaging does work.
Edit: I thought Joe Camel was much older than it really is.
New Deltarune mod idea where Gay Putin, Bald JD Vance, and Xinnie the Pooh replace the main trio, respectively.
Should’ve gone the 4Kids One Piece route and turned it into a lollipop.

TheTechnician27@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.world•KDE Slick New 'First Run' Setup Tool Taking ShapeEnglish10·8 days agoI know it’s just an early mockup, but Calamares looks waaaay better than this, and I wouldn’t want to see this replace it in anything even close to this state. This is not slick.
Though serviceable, [Calamares is] not as slick as the initial setup on Windows, macOS or even GNOME.
Setup on Windows? Slick? Dude fuck, I do not want whatever vision this author wants for Linux if the minefield of dark patterns is “slick” to them. Calamares is the slickest, most straightforward OS install I’ve ever had, far surpassing Windows.

If you didn’t know, there’s a common Republican talking point that – because the Democrats were the racist slavers in the 1800s and the Repuublicans the progressive abolitionists – the modern-day Democrats are the real racists because like, like, uh, look at what they did 160 years ago! Completely ignoring, of course, the context I linked to above.

Leaving this here instead of removing this dumbfuck comment for disinformation based on an intellectually dishonest half-truth.
“Russia invades Ukraine.” “Um ackshually many Russians do not support this move.”
You understand how discussing groups as a singular entity works, right?
