Some of the shorts are ads themselves

Then you are quite obtuse, unintentionally or not.

The insinuation is that he supports Hamas, and therefore is a target of the Israeli government’s supply-chain terror attack. Therefore the hope that “his beeper doesn’t go off” is meant to be a slight against his choice to support Palestinians.

The fucked up parts are as follows:

1. assumption that all supporters of Palestinians are supporters of Hamas and/or their actions on October 7th, and therefore any criticism of Israel’s actions is an explicit antisemitic attack on Judaism itself
2. Assertion that Israel was right and just to target Hezbollah operatives with the pager attack, even though it was reckless (and in fact killed and maimed innocents, and committed an act of war away from any battlefield)
3. Flippantly dismissing a person by basically saying “you’re next”; by basically saying “for your opinion, a foreign government should sneak a bomb into your personal electronics and explode your family at home, better hope it doesn’t happen”

And don’t you dare try to say that takes it too far, because that’s exactly what that “joke” implies. What else COULD it mean? Only mental gymnastics could attempt to explain it away.

Yeah I’ve fallen into this trap before as well. When I shop for a desktop, I tend to go as high-end as I can afford and then sit on the same machine for 7-10 years until it becomes unusable/support begins to wain. That desktop sits under my desk and doesn’t move that whole time, it is in a very controlled environment.

You cannot shop that way for a laptop that will be moved and handled and charged and stowed and scratched and bumped and bent and twisted. Even if you take excellent care of it.

I did, and I found that the US does WORSE shit than Russia sometimes.

Russia ain’t good. Neither is the US. Get your head out of your ass.

I can’t believe Microsoft is doing EEE on malware

I wish instead of complaining to people that they didn’t read the docs or whatever that linux devs would scour the internet for these criticisms (like when specifics are provided) and then develop solutions for them.

Yeah, people are shitting on your product because it’s not obvious. Make it more obvious!

Didn’t they also not license (aka pirate lol) the music in that ad?

It’s next to X and C on the qwerty keyboard, so you don’t have to move your fingers much to cut/copy then paste quickly.

A lot of distros include a .bashrc with common ls aliases commented out, just waiting for you to activate them if you like.

Think of the TikTok grifting!

Only if you have a condition which could fall under the umbrella of mentally retarded. Otherwise you’re just trying to illustrate a depreciation of self-worth, by insinuating that those with said disabilities are somehow worth less because of it.

It’s that last part that’s shitty.

I think /mnt is where you manually mount a hard drive or other device if you’re just doing it temporarily, and /media has sub folders for stuff like cdrom drives or thumb drives?

I’ve been on “New, 6 hours” since the beginning and even that seems stagnant. At times, there’s lots of cross posting.

That or Ansible, if you will have a machine to deploy from

Never thought I’d get to use “bisectional” outside of JD Vance jokes

Ohh I forgot they did Prodigy. It was such a WEIRD experience; it seemed to drop you down into this BBS/DOS mode, and none of the navigation was very similar to everything else on any PC/Mac at the time. I enjoyed some of the games on it but I really didn’t know what to think otherwise. We didn’t keep it very long.

Yeah, lots of people are.
