Yeah, we knew that before Snowden. Story made me think of my uncle, RIP, who’s friend told him to “buy Cisco, trust me” back in the early '90s. So my uncle bought Sysco. He was pissed at himself until the day he died.

Caddyshack. I can’t believe it hasn’t been mentioned.
That was my thought as well. I’m also thinking it might be a challenge to get something to read them in 100 years.
I’m no expert, but I think KeePassXC doesn’t need to sign in to a server somewhere.
The DNC exists to protect incumbents. Don’t be fooled, the Dems (elected officials, not voters) don’t want ranked choice.
More voters went from Hillary Clinton to John McCain in 2008 than went from Sanders to Trump in 2016 -Source
I’ve yet to meet a Libertarian who wasn’t just a lazy Republican.
koreader is my goto reader, on my tablet and phone. The interface is a bit unintuitive, but once you get it set up to your liking, it’s a great reader.
I just use Telegram with friends and family as an alternative to sms. I’ll have to ask if any of them are selling drugs, because it would be handy to have a connection.
Uh-oh. I don’t think taking away their main supporter will make magats very happy.
What, do you think you’re so smart? Think you’re some rocket scientist?
Yes
…sorry
I’ve thought that since Russia first invaded. Really feels like the US is just trying to bleed Russia for as long as possible.
Whatever book I’m currently reading.
I just have some syncthing shared folders with friends/family. It may be a little weird to set up, but once there, it’s seamless.
My grandmother ran Linux for a couple decades until her death at 101 years old. My 80+ year old mom has been running Linux for at least 2 decades. Yes, I’m tech support, but I don’t really have to do anything. It just works.
English is pretty fluid and acceptable words and definitions morph with time. So in current use, they are pretty much interchangeable, but that still pisses me off. It’s a loss of nuance. It’s like we are actively dumbing down the language as if Newspeak is a good thing.
Let me take out my cane and say,“Back in my day…”
Example: I jealously protect what I have, probably to an unhealthy degree. At the same time, I sure envy that person for having something I wish I had.
envy and jealousy are supposed to have different meanings, but idiots always use jealous when they mean envious. Annoys the fuck out of me.
I think it was Neal Stephenson’s book The Diamond Age that had clouds of nanomachines constantly at war with each other creating a fog of dead and dying machines that people would just walk through pretty much ignoring it. I read that a long freaking time ago, so I’m sure that memory is, to some degree, degraded.
Anyone who wasn’t around then can’t really know what they missed.
