“If we heard China was planning to build military bases on Mars, we’d launch a manned mission in under five years.” -Neil deGrasse Tyson

Who are the morally bankrupt execs who wrote this? I want names.

Sadly, I had but one Paramount Plus account to angrily cancel. I’ll consider returning from sailing the high seas when Ellison considers not being an enormous rich conservative phallus.

I keep discovering things from the 80s kid me would have loved but I never knew existed until my late 40s.

And if you mean controlling 3 dimensional projections from your phone, we can sorta do that right now, it’s just clunky and expensive and there’s very little actual demand for it outside of show business and art projects.

Discovery might have been a good show if every character was just played by Jeffery Combs.

(no, not really, the problems with Discovery were NEVER the actors’ fault)

You’re actually 100% right, I despise coffee.

Honey, the proprietary operating systems are quarreling again!

*sips coffee in exclusive Linux user land.

Oh, Android does this to me too. It constantly suggests I want to call my old boss from 13 years ago who I honestly hope I never see again.

It gets the point across SO WELL though. XD

It’s not and we’re not enemies and I’ve seen your username around and remember your situation. I’m sorta sorry for getting bombastic, but I also have REALLY FUCKING strong feelings about this. I don’t think you’re shilling for Nazis, I think you’re playing right into their hands when you say stuff like that and it just triggers the fuck out of me. Sorry. Mostly sorry.

Let’s hang out at Burn. I’ll share my booze with you, maybe you’ll forgive me.

I fail to understand why people think a bunch of rational corporatists who primarily want economic stability and who’s party contains a number of very progressive voices, some of them QUITE loud and influential are substantially the SAME as a bunch of INSANE RELIGIOUS MANIACS who think the End Times are coming and are literally stripping rights away from trans people, non-white people and women as fast as they can while looting the world around them as quickly as possible.

I’m so fed up with it. Are you guys self destructively nuts? Your apathy and “both sides are the samisms” have SUBSTANTIALLY enabled our slide into fascism. I don’t care if you disagree. I hold you partially responsible and I’m not gonna stay quiet about it,

I grew up around the donor class and they are NOT a monolith. Yeah, they’re shitty, out of touch and their wealth makes them crazy, but some of them are just VERY problematic while others are FUCKING NUTS. They ARE NOT THE SAME. I promise you. I know them very well, some of them personally.

You know what? I’m wrong, because I DO understand. The right wing media LOVE to say things they know will trickle down to people like you and get you to stay disengaged and not voting. The defeatist attitude and lazy thinking lead to a self sabotaging apathy that helps the Overton window get dragged further right. You’re not going to get anything kinder from me than a “Shame on you, sir or madam, for falling for it and DOUBLE shame on you for amplifying it.”

so tl:dr; STFU cantchangemymind.

I was seeing a whole bunch of Oracle people I know suddenly “open to work” on LinkedIn, posting about how they were all “ready for my next opportunity” or “excited to discover my next project” and immediately correctly guessed what had happened.

My company runs our own Forgejo instance and I personally run two more for various personal / nonprofit / FOSS related reasons.

It’s one of the easiest cloud deployments I’ve ever done. And if you know how to use Guthub, you know how to use Forgejo.

It uses Activity Pub, so you can make private repos for your own code or you can federate with other instances and share code.

The linked Dark Reading article is a much better read than the Axios offering (and isn’t behind a subscription wall):

I once saw him (in person) give a drunken, sloppy, rambling speech to a bunch of high schoolers back in 1999. Calling him a clown is an insult to clowns.

Women of conquest.

This is the way.

or do they often fail and vanish?

No. Niche, hipster, “latest hotness” distros sometimes vanish. Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Kali, Qubes, Mint are all examples of community maintained distros that have been around for a long time.

Since you’re looking for “stability” highly recommend Mint.
