No, because until the dot-com era when “tech bros” first became a thing, a lot of the computing pioneers were leftist/hippie counterculture types. Think MIT AI Lab (RMS), The Homebrew Computer Club (Woz, Captain Crunch), Germany’s Chaos Computer Club, etc.

I’ve been avoiding reading that because I still hold out hope. I think some community effort started up to do it; I wonder how that is going?
Reminds me of that one actress from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory who got 13 cavities from being required to constantly chew gum on set.
The gathering highlighted calls from some Israeli groups for European governments to adopt a more critical stance towards the war and its humanitarian consequences.
It’s not a “war” with “consequences;” it’s a genocide. Destruction of civilians isn’t some sort of side-effect, it’s the the intended effect!
I don’t know what EuroNews’ normal political lean is, but they’re carrying water for fascists in the way that they frame this.
Well, the crosspost in !science of this exact article was from four months ago, so…
The new season of Old Enough! is wild!\s
If you already are their tech support, you probably could’ve forcibly switched then a long time ago.
At least, that’s how I treat my computer-illiterate boomer parents. For them, it’s “use what I tell you to use or you’re on your own.” To be fair, on their last few computers that was MacOS, but their iMac from 2013(?) got so obsolete it wasn’t good enough anymore, so as of a few months ago they’re on a mini PC running Linux whether they like it or not.
Megalomaniacs like Putin genuinely think they can. Same reason why Trump is destroying global warming research and tried to dictate the path of a hurricane with a sharpie.
How’s Dr. Phil gonna make a video if he’s in jail and the footage is in the evidence room?
Nah, SteamOS is a normal Linux. It counts.
Do you have a chart that shows the actual change in price, not the change in the change in price?
This article is about the UK. That’s why it’s talking about “Barclays bank,” “Preston Crown Court,” listed damages in £, etc.
If by “we” you mean people in the UK, yes.
Don’t ask a serious question in an unserious manner if you want a good result. Your refusal to edit yourself so that people can understand you is solely your own damn fault.
As the owner of multiple cars from the '90s and 2000s, I 100% need a Linux head unit.
The real reason why the nuclear apocalypse happened hasn’t been explained in any of the Fallout media yet, but it feels like the show is going to reveal it at some point if it didn’t already.
Considering all the “experimental” Vaults and whatnot, and how politically powerful Vault-Tec appeared to be, the vibe I get is that there might have been some sort of conspiracy.
Iran used to respect things like freedom of navigation and territorial waters, but then Trump went and attacked them anyway. If rules aren’t going to be respected by their enemies, they have nothing to lose by exerting their power.
That’s why Trump’s attack was so incredibly fucking stupid.
Either that or they were subconsciously erring on the side of not seeming alarmist.
I’ve been saying it’s imminent for a while now, because I’ve been seeing studies about this come out for years and it seems like every one revises the estimate to be earlier.
You know what’s really fucked up? Steven Miller claims to be a Trekkie.
