You wont win this one. If you think of the number of internet users in the world once you eliminate apple users, people who do everything on their phone or a tablet, people who use chromebooks but have no idea that its linux, people who "just buy a new one" whenever their laptop/desktop acts up and people who will never touch anything that isnt a prebuilt with a warranty you are left with an abysmally small number of people in the grand scheme. Thats the filters you have to apply before you get to people who might run Linux... and they are all on Lemmy.

Literally the only thing I like about Zuck is that he doesnt seem to have a pathological need for approval. Sure he is every bit as bad for society, but atleast he is quiet about it.

I know how magnets work and Ive never seen a knife fall off one of these but they still give me low grade anxiety.

Them Final Destination films ruined me.

Thats the problem with so many people who tout communism or socialism as the ultimate solution to capitalism. They tend to just conveniently ignore greed, corruption and bad actors like if it werent for greed, corruption and bad actors capitalism wouldnt be SO much better than it is now.

There will always be some guy somewhere who figures out a graft or hustle to get more than they are entitled to.

Id say at least 25% of the people in the USA would genuinely either say "Who?" or not know/understand why he is relevant.

When it comes to Americans I never underestimate the ignorance level. Of "average" people.

Now I would just like to take a moment to warn anyone who owns an investment property near the fires that the listings are online with the exact address where literally anyone can find them, they can see that you are taking advantage of the market conditions as is only fair to improve your financial position, they know the house is unoccupied and probably isnt being surveiled or protected in any meaningful way.

There is next to nothing to stop people with no respect for the law or how hard you work from going straight to the property and vandalising it or otherwise making the property unrentable. They dont even need to break in, glue in the locks or spraying the garden with weed killer as they stroll past.

Please take care.

Someone was always going to do an XL version for people who want something thats more "portable gaming station" than "handheld". I dont know why people seem to be bitching about having options.

Trump is acting now how China acts always. China only does something when its in their best interests first and foremost.

Knock Knock. (Short story) (self.maliciouscompliance)
 

The managers offices have windows that look out onto the main floor, I'm a training officer and sometime supervisor so although I look in the windows before I go in I'm generally "read in" on anything going on so If the doors closed I dont pay it much mind unless the boss is having a closed door with a staff member.

I went to walk in the door and got it half open before the facility manager bodily slams it closed. He looks out the window and sees its me, and says "Learn to knock!" gives me some paperwork to chase up.

3 minutes later I come back with paperwork, he is sitting there back to the window... with his coffee. I made eye contact with the other supervisors and went full cheshire cat. I waited till he lifted his cup and I closed fist pounded on that door like I had a fucking warrant.

He came about 3 inches out of his chair and wore the whole cup.
