Bill from XBill - He installs adware and malware which if long enough turns into Windows. If you let Windows update you die

The Gimp - uses photo editing tools to give people red eye and blind them, or stretch them horizontally so they look weird

Tux could be like Mario, maybe different items turn him into different distros like eating a mint power up turns him into Linux Mint.

Good on you for standing by the truth and genuinely looking out for your workplace and co-workers! Being the one to point out uncomfortable truths isn’t easy, but it’s crucial for a healthy work environment. When people like you leave, it often leads to a wider exodus of staff, significant loss of experience and knowledge—and the business feels the impact. Keep being that voice of reason!

The last one is Synthwave 😎

Pretty sure that’s why they invented the stock market in the first place… Faustian deal where innovators and disruptors trade their future potential for a leg up today. In exchange the wealthy slowly seize whatever new technology or IP is created, guaranteeing their position into the future.

Big tech wonder boys like Zuckerberg and others coming out of Y Combinator aren’t miracle stories - they are the chosen few handpicked by yesterdays elite to help them close the circle from others.

It scares me that generations before and after millennials are not as proficient with technology. Before makes perfect sense, but younger people being unable to use a computer or tell if they’re being scammed really disheartens me. I blame the excesses of capitalism and ignorance of our lawmakers.

The way the web and services are structured is extremely unfair to the consumer. We pay for access to the internet, then we pay for access to premium content sources and to stop ads for showing. So many middle men… where is the benefit exactly? How is a podcast better than my community radio?

The ownership of digital goods is the worst part of all. Games, music, tv shows… stuff that is a formative part of your life you should be able to pass onto your kids isn’t yours. You own a “license” which is just a record in some database that can be revoked between company acquisitions.

Give it to Jeffrey Epstein post humuously! Make him the first ever Eternal Attorney General.

What is the charge? Biting a breast? A succulent Chinese breast?

Yay ineffective posturing! I hope they spent millions on Facebook ads… /s

Efficient for whom? The rich all have millions invested in commercial real estate so if it’s not about voluntary resignations it’s about that.

For once, I agree with this demon.

A unified China/Russia alliance

The Red Alert and Generals cross over we don’t want!

More realistically, he’ll probably die of old age or be ousted by someone younger and more exciting to the wealthy elite that keep Putin in power. Real change may come after that, but a change in leadership is not going to immediately fix long term issues like corruption, wealth disparity, etc.

Better than Facebook - I had to delete my account and start over cause it kept showing me memories with my ex and old holiday photos. Cause that’s what people need - a reminder of their time in hell.

The only thing more pathetic and limp than this law is the men who wrote it.

I think they’ve navigated a situation that looked hopeless better than anyone in the west could have expected. We all hoped economic sanctions were enough to elicit a peaceful outcome when negotiating with Russia failed, but instead it’s turned into things like BRICS.

Yes! My apologies, I kept alternating between posting the banner image or the link… This is my first post ever on Lemmy.

Problem is there’s too many vested interests. Bernie Sanders would have made a great president. In 2016.

Ah, I see one of the toxic family members is with us.

This is exactly the kind of shit we must not stoop to. Let the Trumpers feed themselves to the leopards. They don’t need our help destroying themselves, they’re perfectly good at doing that themselves.

Threatening Europe so the apartheid inheritance child can get richer. The new lows from the new government start now!
