I have no idea.

So the FCC won’t let me be, or let me be me, so let me see…they try to shut down the internet on my pc, but it would be so empty without me!

ZorinOS. I’m still on 17, because 2 years ago on my TwisterOS (raspberry pi) I used sudo update all, and that broke some shit.

So when I installed ZorinOS on my PC, I immediately disabled all updates, and it sits exactly as it was when I installed it. Never updated in 2 years. I haven’t broken anything.

I want to install this thing called docker, but it’s been so long that now I forget what it even was I wanted to install. I just remember docker was a prerequisit.

But I tried for 2 weeks, and it gives errors. And the thing is, if I understood linux, I’m sure it’s a simple fix. It’s like wandering into a house you’ve never been in before, and your friend is saying “turn the lights on!!!” and you know you need to turn the lights on, but you have no idea how. And you don’t feel the light switch on the wall. What you don’t know is it’s actually a clapper light switch. So you don’t even know what you’re doing wrong.

Thats how linux feels to me.

But for browsing the web, and playing games, it seems to work decent enough.

Although recently my bluetooth has been wonky. Very recent behavior. Used to just be rock solid. Now sometimes my devices won’t connect. Gotta turn off bluetooth, and then turn it back on. Then turn the device back on, and it’ll connect like normal.

In windows, I’d say uninstall and reinstall the bluetooth driver. In linux I have zero clue how I would even start that process.

Again, in a dark room not sure what to do.

I tried installing it a year ago. It wouldn’t install for some reason.

Maybe I’ll try again. Maybe their newest version has bug fixes.

I’m in Ohio. I wonder how hard it’d be to drive to Canada, pick up a router, and drive back?

Or hell…maybe just drive to Canada. I’m sure I can find a job and a place to live, right? Just go to a Tim Hortons and say “Hey, I’m gonna work hete now, because fuck America!” and Canadians are like, legally obligated to be nice. I’m sure it’ll all work out, as long as I share some donuts.

The hardest part will be getting used to pink money.

I mean, seriously Canada? You a big fan of monopoly money?

Man…I don’t even like linux. I don’t know what I’m doing. I have difficulty understanding what I’m even doing wrong. I have issues installing software unless it’s a flatpak.

And yet for the past 2 years I’ve been exclusively running linux. Not so much against my will, but against my wants.

What I want is WindowsXP 2.0. Just WindowsXP but able to run modern hardware, in a 64 bit software version.

Instead, we get Windows 11. I will not stand for buying hardware, paying for software to run an OS, only to be told I own nothing, my privacy is not respected, my screen real estate is theirs to sell, and the software spies on me.

So I want you to know, as a lifelong windows user, dating back to Windows 3.1, and going all the way to Windows 8.1, I want you to know I say this as a Windows user who feels held hostage on linux…

That being said…FUCK YOU MICROSOFT!!! FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF WITH YOUR BULLSHIT! FUCK COPILOT! FUCK TILES! WINDOWS 10! FUCK WINDOWS 11! FUCK AI PUSHED DOWN OUR THROATS! FUCK YOUR ARTIFICIAL TECH LIMITS TO RUN WINDOWS 11! FUCK YOUR WHOLE MINDSET THESE PAST 15 YEARS!!! I HAVE BEEN UNHAPPILY USING LINUX FOR 2 YEARS EXCLUSIVELY AFTER TRYING IT OFF AND ON FOR 20 YEARS. NEVER UNDERSTOOD TERMINAL, MAY NEVER UNDERSTAND TERMINAL, BUT FUCK YOU MICROSOFT! I REFUSE YOUR BULLSHIT!

Wait. Whoa. I knew some planets had more then one moon, but I thought it was like 2 or 3.

You’re telling me Jupiter has 101 moons, and Saturn has 285 moons??? What the hell Earth??? You got ONE moon!!! Up your game!!! Saturn has 285 moons, and like 7 rings. That’s more than Jordan has!

Quick question. What would happen if China decided to get angry about this, and stop selling 100% of their goods to American companies unless they allowed 100% of their goods to be sold without restrictions?

looks at headline

Is it 2022 already?

No no no. See, this is why AI is so fucked up. It doesn’t matter if it’s human or driverless. Cars aren’t supposed to RAM anything!!!

I want to do this to someone…but also, that feels like a really bad idea.

What a fucked up country world we live in now

…sarcasm? Or asshole? I can’t tell.

AAAAAAHHHH!!! The one in front looks just like my old cat speed!!!

Awwwwww, I miss speed and karmalee!!!

If you want to read a post I made about speed, just check my post history for one titled “My cat was a coward but I still loved her”.

In 1987 I would be more confused by the concept of a phone costing money AT ALL, let alone asking why the fuck it costs $800.

Remember, in 1987, car phones were starting to become a thing, cell phones were either not yet invented, or just barely invented. Either way, only businessmen had them, and only because they needed them for work.

99% of people had only a landline. And you didn’t buy it. It was provided by your telephone company.

So the idea of a phone costing $800 would be crazy talk.

Back in the 1980s the idea of being gay was NOT something that was openly accepted in America. You could be attacked, or worse, if the right crowd decided you needed to pay for your lifestyle.

Around this same time, Reagan had completely changed how prisons were funded. Before, it mostly came out of the pockets of the government. And after Reagan, we got what we have now. Prisons for profit.

Which meant conditions went way down, almost overnight, and prison populations started to boom. Because before, prisoners were a burden on tax dollars. If you arrested someone for jaywalking, you now had to convince a judge why a jaywalker belonged in prison.

But now, with megacorporations footing the bill, the expansions of the prison systems could explode. If you paid for prisons to be built and you made profit on each prisoner, you wanted them full.

Which meant…THE WAR ON DRUGS!

So, now you have massive populations of prisoners, all being held for crimes that shouldn’t carry a long sentence, and in many cases, never even happened.

What this meant is, these prisons became almost a community among the prisoners. And as such, you inevitably had gay prisoners.

So to signal to the other prisoners that you were gay, and wanted to get fucked in the ass, you’d wear your pants a little loose, and a little low. The look became known as “sagging”. And for about 10 years, nobody outside of prisons knew about it.

Then the 90s came, and these prisoners started getting released. And they continued sagging outside of prison, even though it no longer carried the same weight. It just became a fashion sense among urban communities without a trace of its former meaning.

So when I see this picture…it’s like…TOO on the nose. Thats not pants sagging, that’s pants dropping. The ironic thing is, if you told him that look signaled him as the bitch of the group, he’d probably be very angry. Especially since in the 90s being gay STILL wasn’t socially acceptable.

Ok. Here’s the thing. I don’t know how linux works. I don’t know what systemd is. All I know is that all around the world we got clowns who know less about linux than I do trying to dictate the entire worldwide internet to cater to their specific geographical location, regardless of where the user is.

Then I hear systemd is openly trying to bow at the knee before these laws are even in effect.

And yes, the current system is you as a user inputting your birthday with zero verification.

But the gov of california has already said that before these laws go into effect they’ll be looking for stricter laws with checks in place. These systems are not in place now. Nor do they even know what they will turn out to be.

When asked about this, the gov said “We’re working on it.”

Then systemd comes along, ready to bend all of linux to their whims. So I put two and two together and decided this whole thing is pissing me off.

FOUR cats? That’s too many cats. The order of progression goes:

0 cats - you need a cat in your life.

1 cat - your cat needs a cat buddy.

2 cats - this is the optimal number of cats.

3 cats - Yeah, a bit crowded. You can make it work though. Like if one of your cats is really old, and the other cat is a kitten. That’s like a backup cat. Otherwise, you’re approaching too many cats.

4 cats - that’s too many cats.

5 cats - please stop collecting cats.

6 cats - PLEASE stop collecting cats!!!

7 cats - KNOCK IT OFF ASSHOLE!!!

8 cats - now you’re just a crazy cat lady.

Why does she look like what would happen if Alicia Silverstone had been cast as Racheal on Friends, and this is like season 15.

…tut-tuts?
