    that’s the point, it can’t be just one. has to be at least two or three.

    After the first one they did get scared like you said. Even the health insurance companies got a bit scared and for a brief time they started “doing good”. briefly. then they waited. no one else got whacked. so it was back to the “norm”.

    You gotta cull a few of them in order for things to change.




  • And I, as a linux user, thought our community was bad sometimes. it’s no where near what the Apple Community has been like since…well…since forever.

    I’m old enough to remember what it was like in the 80s and 90s, especially the 90s when Apple was on deaths door. To Apple users the company, even then, could do no wrong. I remember reading old Macworld magazines and it felt like reading a cults bible or manifesto. And the amusing thing is it was never a Jobs thing regardless of what anyone says. They followed and praised that company even when Scully, Spindler, and Amelio were in charge. They bought the Newton and loved it. When Jobs came back and killed the newton saying how he hated the stylus because he had five of them on his hand they were like “yeah, the newton sucks! we don’t need a stylus!” then well after his death when Apple released the Apple Pencil those same people were all “YAY A STYLUS!”

    As long as it has an apple logo on it and they can whip it out at their local starbucks to show people that “they have money” that’s all they care about. Apple has and will always be a social status symbol. that’s it. And heaven forbid you call their products shoddy because then you’ll get flooded with replies saying their not and quite the opposite. “My Macbook lasted me 5 whole years!” yeah Chris, that’s not good. how are all your cables holding up?



  • Feishin, SuperSonic, cmus, and kew are the only ones I really like with kew being my personal favourite.

    I don’t need much from my music player as I just like to hit shuffle on all my songs (6000+) and kew just does that.

    I’ve also started thinking about doing streaming music again as I currently have a month trial with Qobuz and I really like it. Thankfully lastnight I was FINALLY able to find a linux Qobuz player, QBZ, that works very well as I’m not a fan of the Qobuz webplayer.



  • the first scapegoat.

    I kinda suspect that the administration was told or it was heavily suggested by higher ups in the military that “yeah…if you go with this insurrection act we’re not going to have your backs on this one.” Otherwise why would they be throwing Bovino under the bus for this?

    What has happened thus far is apparently what they wanted according to project 25 but like I said I suspect they don’t have the support of the people they NEED the support from.


  • It’s weird because I could have sworn that blizzard we got in 2022 was worse than what we got yesterday but it wasn’t. Like yesterday I went out a few times through out the day and it didn’t feel that bad. just really light fluffy snow and it was easy to walk in especially when it got up to your knees. wasn’t an issue. It also didn’t soak you cause, again, it was super light and fluffy.

    It wasn’t until I went out this morning that I realized “holy shit we got a lot of snow” and the idiot that I am was the only one going to work.
