Well, I have opened commands prompts, but only because because they’re fast at doing stuff with files and I like that.
But I haven’t NEEDED to open them to fix or configure stuff.
Back in the early 00s that was pretty much par for three course.
Despite the “get rich quicker” mentality,Kiyosaki’s books were revolutionary for me. They basically taught me that it’s impossible for the working class to get rich. You need to invest in either a business or real estate.
The missing part is that it’s practically impossible to invest in a business or real estate. You need vast amounts of capital or a loan with nearly zero interest. Oh and the ruling class has been sucking us dry for decades.
Still, his books are very valuable knowledge.
For me the turning point was when a failed Windows forced upgrade ended up deleting me important files. I had backups, but I lost days of work because Microsoft felt so insecure in the face of piracy that they had to upgrade my computer despite me constantly telling them not to do so.
That was around 10 years ago. I went through various KDE distros; in the end I settled for Kubuntu.
The recent developments in KDE plasma are excellent. I haven’t had to open a command prompt in years. I hadn’t had a tech problem until this year when my tmp folder got full.
I would classify this as sexual harassment. It’s no different from being sent obscene videos over email. The gravity resides in that they’re sexual assault videos with the recipient being the victim.
Plot Twist: They’ve already gone rogue. Right now they’re just bullying to get what they want.
They can just go fuck themselves. 🖕
Looking at VTuber fandom out there. Two weeks ago, a famous female VTuber called Ironmouse (who, BTW, has an immune disease and cannot leave her house) won an award, and you know what the fans of other candidates did? They sent her death threats.
Oh boy 😬
The new document repeats that condition and elaborates on it, reaffirming that marriage is a lifelong union between a man and a woman. And it stresses that blessings in question must not be tied to any specific Catholic celebration or religious service and should not be conferred at the same time as a civil union ceremony. Moreover, the blessings cannot use set rituals or even involve the clothing and gestures that belong in a wedding.
The Church is doomed to become obsolete. Until they accept that gay people have the right to marry (and they won’t), people will move away from the Church.
The times are changing, and the Church will sooner or later fall into irrelevancy. Besides, it’s not like their God is doing anything helpful at all in these times of crisis, is he?
I tried to close the image by clicking on the top right corner, LOL
Tell him to go live in the US in a rented apartment on an average salary. Bet he'll change his mind in 3 months.
This might be the beginning of the end for Putin. They’re going to “retire” him, if you know what I mean.
Remove the income of the top 1% of Americans from the equation and you’ll REALLY see how good the “economy” is.
LOL this reminds me of the numerous news articles that kept saying how Mastodon wouldn’t scale and how it would never take off. The most ridiculous one: “Mastodon is crumbling”. (We’re over 13 million users right now.)
CW: Trump, uspol
Trump separating families at the border. Children being put in cages. Americans waving the fucking nazi flag.
It’s one thing to read about genocide. Another thing is to see it with your own eyes, even on TV.
And if any of you fuckers tries to tell me that both “sides are the same” or that “democrats did the same” or something in that vein, they are obviously doing this in bad faith and they can go fuck themselves. 🖕🤬
