When you stay up late and write only to realize you've not written something this dark and personal since your suicide note.

I don't even have a joke or a sarcastic comment.

That's the first I've heard that. Makes sense but also weird valve would use colons

Granted I've also had people tell me it's my fault for not running a RAID because I have 8 independent drives and that was causing issues

If the drives are ntfs they won't properly work because Linux maintainers still haven't added proper NTFS support because "why would anyone use that?" While also telling everyone to dual boot...

Unfortunately for me that's not my case.

I have to use a lot of proprietary software being an online teacher in China.

Even with LongOS being managed by tencent they still don't have proper Linux versions of a lot of their software

Yeah but most people don't have that time nor do they want to deal with that. Especially when the are two operating systems (Windows and Mac) that just work

It sucks because those random critical pieces of software really stop Linux from breaking out of a niche

Everyone who uses Linux "It's going great except for this one piece of critical software I use!"

Project 2025 calls for the removal of kids from poor single parent households to be placed with “proper” parents.

With SNAP being cut, the judgement on low income families is only increasing.

Meanwhile 1,790 kids went missing from Georgia foster care. Many of them were likely sex trafficked

'An urgent issue': Hundreds of Georgia foster kids may have been sex trafficked, report says

A new report shows that hundreds of children have likely been sex trafficked while in Georgia’s foster care system.

Important note to add: pay as much stuff in cash as possible. Every transaction you make with a card earns them money, other than atm withdrawals. Lower their profits as much as you can

starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again!

I had issues but overall liked the os.

My issues largely stem from software I use for work and the fact that I have 8 drives that are all used for different purposes to help me organize my system.

However on my laptop? Works fine

This is actually why I stopped saying what was wrong with AI art, text, music, and videos. He's right in that every time we point it out they focus on fixing it

Cold November Mar @histoftech.bsky.social · 11d

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

-close to his words. He said something about users should find it less useful/useless after a few weeks of use.

What bothers me about this is that it would be better for the planet to just invest in very comp sci educational platforms that are easier to get into and access. You'd save the planet a shit ton of energy and after a few weeks of usage, his time frame, users shouldn't find it outputting garbage-

Theo, a tech influencer and investor, literally said in one his most recent videos that vibe coding is only there to help people get interested in coding. That's why he invested in two different vibe coding companies
