    Yeah the only way to kill a troll is to… just stop talking to/about them. They feed off the negativity of others - Elon likes it when people increase the stock price of his company, and allow him to sell the userbase to advertising firms, so every single word of this just makes the Musk all that much stronger. Every. Single. Word.








  • I presume that much of the absolutely most essential services have had to move underground, beyond reach of such things.

    Remember that letter sent out by most of the top security people in the nation, that if Trump won a second time rather than Biden anyone else, that America would - not might, would - fall to Russia? Trump surely would not be so petty as to fire all those who signed it once in office, thereby leaving this country exposed without any intelligence capabilities (hehe, in more ways than one:-P)?

    We came so close to it all being over, but nonetheless managed to dodge one bullet that almost ended this “experiment in democracy”, and now it’s 4 years later so time to reload this Russian Roulette round and play again… Except this time with that SCOTUS ruling that nobody seems to talk about anymore, and with Project 2025, the stakes are higher than ever before and this is for sure the last election that we’ll ever have to do ever again (as Trump himself literally said) - unless ofc Democrats win and then ofc we’ll simply repeat this roulette again in another 4 years time.

  • I hoped for that at my previous job, and they said it could happen… but it was never going to, and it was a false hope offered. Why do that to me man…? 😭

    Then I come to my current job, and they have a super old Mac laptop that was barely holding on that nobody else wanted, and I’m like “yes please”!

    Bc if its Windows vs. Mac, and especially if “nothing” isn’t even an option, then a million times out of a million I will choose super old, barely holding on Mac that nobody else wants.:-)

    It’s a single SSH command away from my work Linux, and it has MacVim, tons of other open source software available, plus a bunch of stuff that only Mac OSX has, like Preview and other fairly nice tools, which have open source equivalents like ImageMagick and gimp, but aren’t nearly as easy to use.

    I don’t need a nice car, and I went without one entirely until I moved to the Midwest where it becomes absolutely necessary, but it’s essential to have a good computer for me:-).


  • OpenStars@discuss.onlinetolinuxmemes@lemmy.worldOne big happy family.

    I never said I couldn’t back it up. I only said that if you wanted to know the answer, you could look. But ofc do whatever you please.

    Or I suppose you could try to goad me yet again into doing your homework for you, and see if that works? (Surely this time, if you keep trying the same action, surely this time things will work out differently than the other time(s)?😜)

    Or you could just think about how likely it is that in the entire history of computing, what are the chances that it was true at least once? Not that it matters, bc I’ve agreed with you so many times that hardware!=software and that for Macs they are tied together, and Macs are expensive, that I think we’ve both already forgotten already whatever it was we were talking about. Take the “win” already?


  • I was only illustrating how Mac hardware is not identically the same as Mac software. They are tied together, yet distinct entities.

    Your lack of recollection neither proves nor disproves anything at all. If you doubt me, look it up? (since surely if I did so for you, you would distrust that as well? 🤪)

    I did not downvote you btw.
