Woahwoahwoah, let’s not be unrealistic here.

But honestly I’m happy for the final push to Linux. I’ve been telling myself to make the change for a few years now but what’s happening with AI training and side-loading / complete loss of privacy / general horrible vibes in the closed-source tech-sector… Linux it is. I’m even ready for the learning curve. I grew up on dos, I’m sure I can find my way around it.

WAHHHGARBL

Honestly I like the conversations here, it reminds me a lot of the old internet.

Linux, your time has finally come

People forget this. There were bombs. Political assassinations. Armed revolutionary groups with foreign support. The racial divide was HUGE. It needs to get way better, but aside from politics, people are more like each other than they were then. Then they ever have been anywhere and at any point in history. Hence the death throes of division being absolutely bombarded at us by the media. But we know better. It takes time, but we know better. It’s fucked now, but let’s keep that perspective. They tried to wash that period of unrest from the schools in the 90s.

Thanks for the reference, most of that side of the family died in pretty quick succession so these memories are just what my mind can contain. tbh Swan Lake 24/7 might do more to heal our nation than the news onslaught we get. My dad died in '16, about 3 months before Trump got in, and I’m almost happy he didn’t have to see it. He was a lifelong republican but he was also a WWII buff, I’d never seen him actually afraid of a politician until then. I’ve been traveling the world since I was 17, he used to be terrified for me, but during that campaign he started encouraging me to spend more time abroad.

His past few vids were not even very convincing AI, he’s barely hangin on. When I was a kid my dad’s friends would joke about the decripit soviet leader being strapped to a 2x4 and dragged out for public appearances. Well well well how the tables have turned
