It's cool because we killed the tree.

All hail our Lord and Savior, the great and omnipotent Cheetoh.

This is most likely his villain origin story: He tried linux making him a hacker in his mind, broke it and couldn't fix it, the Arch forum told him to RTFM and pointed him to the wik so he reinstalled Windows and has made the entire linux community his ~~arch~~ nemesis.

Admitting some people aren't savvy enough to run linux is his kryptonite.

I know it shouldn't but your experience made me laugh. Not satire, indeed :)

I definitely wouldn't have thought to label him terrible. Just emotionally delicate enough to not be able to handle dissenting opinions and harboring a sense of powerlessness that has made him want to create an environment where he gets to control the people that try to participate.

I can relate. I might start a "somethingsucks" community and may the Gods help anyone that tries to usurp me.

This one made me giggle. The linuxsucks dude is a trip. I would love to see a psychological workup on a person that creates a 1-person community on an ultra-niche platform and protects against other people joining to the death.

It's less than .05% of his worth. It's like us dropping pocket change in the Red Cross bucket and he'll make more than that in profit from changes the bribe paid for from the great cheetoh.

What's the vehicle YMM?

Consider the source of the action(a person pursuing a position of authority on a relatively miniscule network) and keep on keeping on. Decades of forums moderated by basement dwellers with a Napoleon complex have made it hard for me to take things like this seriously.

I appreciate the warning as it readily admits the majority of the content is boring enough to make you want to scroll away.

Lemmy is too small to be a worthwhile target for musk-like campaigns. It's usually just people escaping their echo chambers to get their rage fix. If you're able to think for yourself, there's really no negative impact and scrolling past is a great solution.

There doesn't seem to be any actual record of this being tweeted.

We had to put him to sleep today due to cancer. He had quit eating and drinking so we had a vet come to the house to provide the service. He's resting in the back by the woods now. I'm really going to miss him.

 

 

This has always interested me, on an explorer's level, the ruins of the plants have always really stuck in my mind. Growing up, it was always spoken of in the context of "US automakers couldn't keep up with changing trends and they just lost it all" but that's not true at all. Almost all of the companies involved with these types of abandonments are doing great, in fact, better than ever. When things really did get dire for US automakers during the recession around 2009, the goverment simply bailed them out with tax dollars.

An excerpt from the video: "It's the excess of Capitalism. In some ways, people thought this was the failure of Capitalism but we could also see it as the success of Capitalism. The automobile industries got away like bandits. They got out of there, they took the money and left. They left the mess, they left a working class and a deteriorating environment for someone else to clean up."

As an older person now, I wonder how many more of these export moves can occur in industries before the people expected to buy the imported product can no longer afford to.
