I would hope he would fade away. But between the need for grifted money and ego I doubt he will stop until he physically can’t any more.

I think MAGA is an unspoken admission that there are a lot of easily swayed people in this country that have been failed by the existing system.

Even if deep down they know it is all BS they can’t allow themselves to acknowledge it because that would mean having to face the reality that they don’t have much of a future to look forward to for various reasons.

A lot of people can’t take that mentally and keep going day to day, so they just go along with the crazy because it seems easier to go with the delusion.

This combination of arrogance and complacency sort of thinking is how it does happen on Linux one day.

If all of the parts of the internet that the average person finds useful goes down, then it matters little that technically “the internet” is not down. If it can’t be useful then it is as good as “down”.

Mine stays on 24/7/365 unless I am going to be out of town.

Gold Bond eczema relief cream.

Costs a good bit more than “normal” moisturizer lotion. But when I have a flare up that stuff is a life saver.

Nothing wrong with that setup if everyone is on board with it.

All of these types are articles always leave out the calculations of what your time is worth to you and the maintenance costs of spare hard drives and other equipment. The TCO is not just the initial investment in hardware/software alone. Unless you plan to host something unreliably and value your time at nothing. In which case I hope you don’t get friends or family hooked on your stuff or everyone will have a bad time and be back to Google Drive/Docs and Netflix within 5 years.

The reason they leave it out I feel is because once you factor all of that stuff in the $10/month your paying for Google Drive storage or the ~$25 your paying Netflix starts to make a lot more sense when pared with a decent local backup from a Synology NAS for the “I can’t lose this” stuff like baby pictures of your kids. Which blows their entire premise out of the water.

I agree. The world requires way to much subtlety to function well for everyone for single truth ideas and ways of doing things to work at large scales.

Not everyone can be right about everything.

Amen. It has become so normalized to treat company health like Ricky Bobby treats Nascar races, “if you’re not first you’re last” “if your not more profitable this quarter than last then your going out of business”.

They can try, but it is unlikley to work for long. So my general reaction is:

Sonic Adventure and Shenmue are the ones I remember the best.

It varies mostly on the subject and situation. Outside of with a few people and a few situations I won’t hesitate to lie if it serves my needs more than the truth and I think I can get away with it.

People that claim to cut things out of their life completely once the creator does something they don’t agree with, or worse yet when they are only accused of doing something they don’t agree with, are simpletons. They simply do not understand how the world in general works if they think that mindset is scalable.

Almost nothing is black and white when it comes to people’s choices and actions. The world is full of grey area and if someone fails to acknowledge that then they are in for a very frustrating existence.

I’m surprised there was no further validation or approval for that kind of money beyond “find the right person and socially engineer them.”

The ever increasing subscription prices and rights holders pulling content have nothing to do with it at all I am sure. /s

The term is so over used at this point I could probably start referring to any script I write that has condition statements in it and convince my boss I have created our own “AI”.

And here I thought I had a lot of hdd platter coaster’s.

Don’t give Ubisoft money for their games and they will change their tune or close up shop soon enough.
