Come for the memes, stay for the very good relationship advice.

Could it be that marketing is an inherently pro-capitalism line of work and its practitioners are unlikely to be altruistic enough to volunteer, especially for something like Free Software?

And more to the point, your work computer should be provided by your employer. If you’re buying that shit yourself, you’re a chump who’s being taken advantage of.

Good list, but I think there are a few things to add/modify:

• Trump hasn’t just discussed bribing Greenlanders, he’s also repeatedly floated the idea of taking it by force.
• the US is recalling non-essential staff from its embassies in Israel and Lebanon, fueling speculation that Israel is about to attack Iran. (IMO this might unfortunately put a damper on that revolution you mentioned.)
• In Minnesota, ICE murdered a white woman who was a citizen and bystander (not protestor) and who was just trying to obey ICE’s instruction to leave. This has caused not only massive protests but also relatively strong condemnation of ICE by the state government, bringing the US even closer to civil war.

I’m not surprised. It seems like only the unethical companies have growth and turnover these days.

ICE accused Good of attempting to use her SUV to run over Ross, who fired two shots at her, one of which struck her in the head and killed her. The agency said she used her vehicle as a weapon to carry out an act of terrorism.

Why are the reports of the number of shots getting increasingly inconsistent? First it was four, then I saw some claiming three, now this one claims two.

whereupon they cold-called me to ask why i was so frustrated despite apparently being in the 95th percentile of all applicants

LOL, “despite.” You were frustrated because you were in the 95th percentile of applicants! Only the shittiest of the incompetents would put up with that nonsense.

a very low-paid job because the work is not for an unethical purpose

Are you hiring?

Lucius shouldn’t have that power either! It’s not an issue of being “stable enough;” it’s an issue of anyone having it. Frankly, your argument kinda proves my point.

It’s analogous to a limited hangout. Sure, they acknowledge it’s wrong, but that doesn’t stop them from doing it and they suffer no bad consequences for that choice. Really, what’s the Aesop people are actually going to take from it? The one based on the demonstrably empty words, or the one based on the actions?

Prescient, and also an example of copaganda/how corporate media conditions the public to accept this shit because the “good guy” is the one using it.

Ah, TIL. I just figured it was the KDE-est general-purpose distro.

But still, shouldn’t it at least have a development version of Plasma Login Manager sooner than any others, for testing?

Fedora will be the first distro? Adopting it even faster than KDE Neon, a distro made by KDE itself?

Would you happen to have a source for that? Admittedly this is based on nothing more than my anecdotal experience living through it, but I owned a PocketPC back then and I distinctly remember feeling like I was in the minority compared to Palm or Blackberry.

It’s not about confessing, it’s about being tricked into saying something innocuous in context that they twist to implicate you anyway.

What the Hell could it possibly ever even need a firmware update for?! The vast majority of headsets aren’t even physically capable of having firmware (because they connect using 3.5mm analog audio jacks), let alone receiving an update for it!

I use a mouse that doesn’t require anything beyond the generic USB HID driver that comes with Linux in the first place.

(Okay, okay, I could also use OpenRGB if I wanted to control the lights. But still, it uses fuck-all software provided by the manufacturer.)
