I’m glad BT is still keeping the tradition of being absolutely rubbish alive.

Sorry if you’re a real person but you made your account two hours ago and this is the only post you’ve made and considering the history this community has with posts that end up deleted forever I suspect this another Creative Writing exercise more than anything.


I get tut-tutted by other Linux nerds for this a lot, but I think Linux is impersonal in a different way because it simply demands more of the user. Sure, it gives freedom, but that freedom comes with responsibility, and a lot of people just are like “ain’t nobody got time for that!” Which I think is a valid way to feel.


They pulled down the Bolivian President’s plane just on the mere suspicion thet Edward Snowden was on board.
The flight was rerouted to Austria when Italy, France, and Spain denied the flight access to their airspace.
So we know it’s possible.


No.
I can’t even afford a bus ticket and I haven’t been on a plane since before 9/11/2001.
The last travel I did was three years ago when we took my elderly dog to the beach one last time, and that was only about an hour and a half drive. It was a purposefully special occasion to get him to the beach one last time. Honestly, I’d probably trade never traveling again just to have him back. Miss you, Jack.


Just like straight capitalists, he doesn’t care about the politics of the people that are using his service as long as he gets their money.


Yes, very sentimental about the memories created in those places.

Bah, humbug. I feel it.


Ruined my relationship with my sister and was never part of my nephews lives because I declined to be their godfather because I’m an atheist. One of the aspects of being a godfather is promising to raise the children in their parents religion if their parents should pass. I told her, unequivocally, I cannot and will not make a promise I know I can’t keep, and that’s a promise that I could not possibly keep as it goes against my personal views and values. I will not raise your children to be Christian in your absence, and thus I cannot in good faith be their godfather. I thought I was being respectful of her belief by not lying and saying I would do such a thing. My nephews are adults now and I’ve seen them maybe three times in their lives. Oh well. I don’t have any good familial relationships so I guess it doesn’t matter. Fucked up families is as fucked up families does. I’ve always been treated like my life is less valuable by my family since I didn’t have children anyway, so fuck it I guess.


A locally hosted image generating LLM is a lot of fun for shitposts though.


Never fails to make me laugh. Oh, Fenton you silly dog.


I generally use my ears to listen to music.
Seriously though, between Orpheus, Soulseek, and Bancamp I have a large library and I paid for a Plex pass years ago, so I use Plexamp on mobile and PC. Pretty pleased with it, and it even has scrobbling support for last.fm and support in Maloja+Multi-scrobbler.


Not just reverse psychology, I can’t imagine anyone agreeing with most of these. It’s definitely got a holier-than-thou attitude. Like who is this even written for other than people who already use Linux and just want to feel smugly superior?


I only wish I had such a cool name.


I don’t even like my own name for various reasons but I couldn’t make a different choice for my own gender even if I wanted to.
I would end up depressively renaming myself something like Rat Bastard McFuckwit

Nobody’s making you click on it?
I don’t exactly care for it either, but why spend time policing other people’s behavior instead of curating your feed so you don’t see it?
Or, just ignore it even if you see it. I don’t know, but talk about first world problem.
