balance power away from the 1% and back to the masses

By installing a dictator...every time it's attempted...

Maybe not do that next time and try doing it from the bottom up instead of top-down🏴. It's much more work to convince people that this is a solution and have them help willingly instead of forcing them to go along with it. We tried the Marxist-Leninist way dozens of times, let's try the anarchist way. A capitalist boot or a communist boot on my neck makes no difference to me, it's still a boot on my neck.

Rojava is doing exactly as I suggested. Spreading the power out. It's a rare bird among the many communist attempts. I was actually going to offer it up as an example.

I still install the MatrixGL screensaver every once in a while for shits and giggles on a new install until the gimmick wears out.

Me and my 1st generation i7 running Debian feel attacked.

Googles wierdoldlib.so.13

Comes across forum post:

"Hey guys, I'm trying to run this ancient-ass game, and Linux says I need this thing apparently?"

"Update: never mind, I fixed it."

I thought we ditched Windows because we were tired of doing that?

Hey! You're supposed to be in my router where I don't even realize you exist. Get back in there.

I COULD ONLY AFFORD SIX SWITCHES. BIT 5 HAS A PULLDOWN RESISTOR ON IT\n

I shouldn't really have to look up the instruction manual of a text editor to do a simple action like close the program. Every single other text editor I've ever used was intuitive enough to get started right away, going back to 1989.

You have to wait until 930am Monday morning to do that. Everybody will appreciate it more.

last time I checked Windows was the dominant player

Huh? I am confused now. Has the cycle come back around again because in the late 90s/early 2000s last I checked when I was into this stuff, Apple was king with Pro Tools. It's been a while, I used to mess around with FL Studio 20 years ago.

Those transmission gears would probably work way better without those teeth on 'em.

It's a matter of perspective. To me, an Apple II is ancient. This is last month.

I for one am glad something I started learning 30 years ago is still in widespread use. It's both an ugly and a beautiful language at the same time.

From the atomic age into the information age. That date is a good marker.

I'm an electronics hobbyist. This triggers a panicked sequence of shutting off every power switch and yanking every cord within reach.

I once had some lipo battery leads accidentally touch and weld themselves together, and the second I saw that glow and smoke, ripped the wires apart with full force.

When your program dereferences dangling pointers and throws exceptions and runs out of stack space due to fragmentation and leaks.

TimeSquirrel,
@TimeSquirrel@kbin.social avatar

That's one way to deal with software fragmentation I suppose.

How old is your mom, 80? People in their 40s and 50s played Atari and are pretty familiar with video games. This joke is dying quickly.
