    We always get reminded why monopolies are bad. Enjoy it while they are good, that never lasts.

    That said, the only monopoly abuse thing I know of is they disallowing lower prices elsewhere. That should be stopped, but it’s pretty mild nowadays.











  • There’s a good reason sysv isn’t on the meme.

    If you think it never broke, that’s because you weren’t doing anything different or creating anything that required it.

    That said, systemd had a tendency to break even if you didn’t either. But nowadays the bugs are mostly fixed, and the stupidity is contained on parts people mostly don’t adopt.







  • It’s unsettling that it’s from 2019.

    The Antichrist will be someone known for making a lot of public threats against people.

    That happened a lot on his first term, but anybody in 2025 would say “heh! you saw noting yet!” But then, anybody from February 2026 would say the same to the 2025 people… But in April 2026, that phrase has a completely different meaning.

    “Then he will distribute among his followers the plunder and wealth of the rich”

    Yeah, remember when Trump was leaking insider information on Trump Social?

    “He will greatly honor those who acknowledge him. He will make them rulers over many people and will sell them land at a price.”

    Have you looked at Argentina or Venezuela recently?

    “But reports will trouble him from the east and north, and he will set out in a tremendous rage to destroy and wipe out many.”

    That one is followed by a bunch of press-cuts that I don’t even remember what they are about… instead of, you know, Iran and Greenland.

    “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil!”

    That’s another that the text around today would be completely different.

    “Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.”

    And that changed in meaning completely in 2025.

    “And he will exalt himself above all… so that he sets himself up in God’s own temple in Israel, proclaiming himself to be God.”

    And, of course, he is threatening killing the Pope right now. And posting memes about him being Jesus.
