This. As a juror, you can absolutely vote to not convict someone if you think they’re being prosecuted under an unjust law. Just don’t mention “jury nullification” in front of a judge or prosecutors. They hate that.

I know his name. Muad’Dib!

6.5 gigs. “Proceed with installation? y/n”

Yeah, I guess. Fark getting any work done today.

Just “x10” with metric. With imperial, it’s usually “how many rods to a hogshead” or short tons and long tons or fathoms vs leagues.

This. And if folks are worried that their computer’s hardware won’t be supported (wifi, touchscreen, mousepad, soundcard or a weird mobile graphics driver) I recommend testing it by booting from a live linux flash drive. If everything works with the live version, it should work with the installed version, too.

“Killed by several accidents.”

lol.

Ever wonder why websites that use Captchas prefer pictures of cars, busses, crosswalks, stop signs, bicycles, motorcycles and stairs?

They’re using YOU to train their AI models.

I think the best way to make the Internet less sh*tty is to get away from Google search.

I like the SearX search engine. It gives old-school, relevant search results, not google ranked ones.

It’s also spread out over many separate instances, so you can pick the one that best suits your search needs:

In 2016, Democrats didn’t vote for Hillary because she just didn’t “do it” for them. We got Trump thanks to their adorable little protest vote.

2024 14 million registered Democrats didn’t vote in this election because Harris just didn’t “do it” for them. But since they HAD registered, they were prepared to vote.

I’m starting to detect a really stupid, petty pattern, here.

Believe people when they show you what they really are.

Also, bring back gauges, instead of idiot-lights. It’s nice to know when a problem is beginning (overheating, etc) before it becomes a crisis when you have no choice but to pull over.

Do you think Trump will try to flee the country?

“Nature has been extraordinarily kind to you.”

For the 1000th time Tesla: don’t call it “autopilot” when it’s nothing more than a cruise control that needs constant attention.

Companies are stealing your computer’s resources (hard disk space, CPU time) to build their own Skynet and charging you for the privilege.

Rich people have special access to the legislative machinery that you and I don’t. Through bribes “contributions” they can craft laws that let them avoid paying their fair share of the tax burden. They can also “modify” pending legislation to remove the penalties for breaking those laws. It must be nice to live in a consequence-free environment.

It’s one thing for ME to have a perspective and quite another for a news company owned by billionaires and seen by millions of people to have a perspective.

I’m glad I keep backup copies of anything that might be important later on, like the 40 gig MAME Rom library.

It’s called “sane-washing” where our “liberal news media” (you know, the one that’s owned by six corporations) covers up Donald Trump’s fuck-ups or re-writes them as subtle genius.

Meanwhile Harris has to not make a single mistake, no matter how small.

If you’re using Steam, they use a native Linux client and a custom Proton that has all the settings and presets for their game library.

Everything I bought on Steam works for me under Linux Mint. And almost all my older games, like “Deus Ex” or “Giants: Citizen Kabuto” I can run directly under Wine with the default settings.
