followed by SCROTUS’ capitulation and groveling.

I think I’m gonna need at least a few more!

(What? Poppy looks fun! Torties are the best.)

yes. And then it’s literally just a… reboot.

You don’t sit there waiting for it to install. It’s just restarting the kernel so the newly-installed version takes over. (and generally it only applies to the kernel updates.)

They still haven’t figured out how to do updates without installing during a reboot.

Something Linux has been doing since the 90’s

Honestly? It actually depends on the friend or colleague.

Arch isn’t as bad as it can seem, especially if you find an installer for it. Something that’s more mainstream linux might be better; though. especially if they’re looking for a “it works” kind of thing.

Technically, cashew’s are drupes… I had to look it up. They’re used as nuts culinarilly, so whatever.

Apparently, they’re the dangly bits hanging from a false-fruit known as a “cashew apple”

(yeah. um. I’m not going to be getting that image out of my head any time soon. look it up if you want.)

(that’s the joke… they’re both nuts…)

I use Arch, by the way.

haven’t you heard? the Onion has given up on satire, now they’re just reporting the news.

the cashew calling the macadamia nuts

ninja-lick.

…what’s wrong with the fuzzy heels or the weird eye thing?

Aside from I know of like two people that would buy the slippers, and that’s an indictment of the slippers

Cat looks so thoroughly disappointed it’s in a cage.

I kinda want to see Orange’s expression in the second photo. I assume it’s a mixture of resignation and secret enjoyment.

Is that good enough? Who’s responsibility is it to check? Are vendors always supposed to keep tabs on their customers or is it a good enough excuse to say “naughty customer we told you not to do that”?

if you create a rule, be it like a law, or a thing in a license agreement; or like, parents telling kids how to behave… It needs to be enforceable. Which means there needs to be some mechanism for identifying people who violate it.

The obligation is on the vendor for ensuring their ToS’s are complied with; and have mechanisms in place to validate that. just saying “well that’s against our ToS” and expecting everyone to follow it is kinda like making a law that says “you’re not allowed to think about the color blue.”

and by the way, if you think Win 11 isn’t telling MS everything you do; I got news for you. Now if win 11 or whatever tool they’re using is reporting on what the [defense contractor with classified secrets] is doing, that’s a different matter. But, it’s probably not actually a rule, and that’s probably some spin doc spining up the bullshit machine.

“We call them Love Bombs. Like Bombs. But like they love you for it.”

“that makes no sense.”

“no no, it’s a bomb that disposes propaganda!”

“Still makes no sense.”

“Well, you’d love the person that dropped TP if you needed TP, too.”

Still cute.

I highly recommend graphene.

And for anyone going to a protest to get a cheap burner and flash graphene, then leave your normal phone at home. You can swap phones on your plan pretty easily.

Alternatively, for the very paranoid, go set up a prepaid and anon line and move your device there. Pay cash for the card and set it up online at a public library.

Especially if you’re planning on a little civil disobedience.

Just a reminder, if police think something is about to go down, they’ll spoof the tower and collect device information… including things like phone numbers so if your suddenly changing behavior to go somewhere and do something the fascists dickfucks in office won’t like… best be paranoid.

A second device will still at least keep them from getting all your personal shit. And seriously, Don’t just turn off your normal phone. Leave it at home.

That argument pisses me off.

“I don’t mind so fuck you.”

If you want to use those services, that’s your business. But I don’t use those services; they still keep my data.
