this probably sounds stupid to most of you, but in a world run by greedy asshole tech-bros.... running linux and foss on old, low spec, bottom tier hardware feels like an act of defiance/resistance. own your data! own your privacy! reclaim your digital independence! fuck google, meta, and apple!

Decided to breathe some new life into an old dell a6 dual core. Scored an 8gb stick of ddr4 for $15(!) locally and grabbed a dinky 128gb SSD for $35 from the beez... JFC old laptop's fucking suck to work on! Screws holding on the back cover are under the fucking keyboard? What the actual fuck?!?

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders
Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why." Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!" First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?" Laura Loomer tweeted last year: "I’m America First, I don’t support “Regime Change”. I went on @Bannons_WarRoom to talk about Chinese aggression in Venezuela and why we need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization." Then she tweeted yesterday: "Maduro has arrived at the DEA office in Manhattan. He was transported in an armored motorcade after being transported in a blindfold via helicopter & then by plane to New York after his compound in Caracas was raided by US Special Forces. Proud to be an American today! USA 🇺🇸" Catturd tweeted last year: "Name one U.S. inspired regime change that hasn’t ended in absolute disaster." Then he tweeted yesterday: "Venezuela is now more free than New York City." Will Chamberlain tweeted last year: "The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position" Then he tweeted yesterday: "I can think of few better uses of my tax dollars than black-bagging the head of a foreign narco-trafficking organization that enriches itself by addicting and poisoning my fellow Americans"

John Candy was fucking great! just watched Delirious (1991) a few days ago and it was a ton of fun! Huge bomb back in '91 but has perfect Sunday 3pm movie vibes. Highly recommend!

One man's ewaste....

#mxlinux will literally run on anything!
Might throw a super cheap $25-30 SSD into it, and another 4gb of ram if I can find it cheap enough...
A screenshot of a very old and very shitty entry level ewaste laptop, it is running an mxlinux installation which will let me breathe a little more life into it as either a server or an end point terminal of some sort

whenever a mega-corp says 'we are not enron!', it means they 100% are cooking their books, and faking profits by moving money around in shady ways.

I don’t know who created the videos in this short thread, but it’s a stunning example of the questionable truthfulness of the information #ChatGPT & others are giving out. People tend to believe what #AI is imparting with very little questioning.

Look at the starting 2 images, then watch the clips

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.

Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

A Few Good Men. Best in Show. A Mighty Wind. Miss Congeniality. Barcelona. All three movies in Linklater's "Before" trilogy. Music & Lyrics. Michael Clayton. All films that were able to be made because of the production company Reiner co-founded in order to give talented filmmakers creative freedom.

without Rob Reiner’s Castle Rock production company we wouldn’t have:

City Slickers, Honeymoon in Vegas, In the Line of Fire, The Shawshank Redemption, Before Sunrise, Dolores Claiborne, Lone Star, Waiting for Guffman, and more - in a six-year period alone
