Hopefully, they will build a successor to the brand. (Un?)fortunately, B&J’s Cream probably isn’t in the cards.

Setting aside the puerile humor, Greenfield & Cohen’s, perhaps?

Honestly, it is the behavior of the righwing that is making me edge towards being a militant leftist. If they are going to lie and persecute the innocent, at what point should they be shielded by civility?

I think when the left’s emotional dam breaks, the conservatives would have to face the consequences for their actions.

I am hoping that ‘Zohran the Destroyer’, becomes the slasher flick of bad politicians. It would warm my heart seeing Jeffries, Polosi, Trump, and Thiel see their fortunes ended.

We might end up having to fight to create the American Dream: Liberty, Prosperity, and happiness for all.

…I don’t look forward to serving as a soldier in a civil war, but it is better than living out the rest of my life within an American Nightmare.

IoT Enterprise works just fine. That said, I still don’t trust Microsoft - it still insists on forced updates and reboots, and likely AI, down the line.

I am figuring on switching to SteamOS Desktop, once that is released.

Honestly, I very much WOULD like there to be a real-world Punisher doing good works.

Turdpublicans suffering consequences for being complicit with malice and racism?

Good.

I think that money money represents effort, knowledge, and time - problem is, the wealthy don’t appreciate what goes into the money that they hoover up from society. Through locking away too much money from society, the wealthy have essentially robbed the meaning from money. By drying up the fiscal river, the rich have destroyed the possibility of life flourishing within its banks.

I guess that I don’t disagree with your correction, so much as that I believe that the worth of American money has been corroded towards the breaking point.

I would argue that money is actually pretty useless, the true value in a economy is time - the time to spend on family and friends, the time to create new ideas, the time to learn, and the time to support society. Capitalism forces people to hyperfixate on money in order to survive, which inherently limits what a person can do to better themselves and the world around them.

It encapsulates the existence of an individual into a fishbowl, forever unable to do more than simply exist in place.

If the Supreme Court sides with Trump, many companies will support the Union if America has a 2nd American Civil War. Let’s see the supposed wisdom of this court.

Vance would give a shit, when he is escorted to hang out at a gas station.

I think they perceive it as a threat to their…skill? If everyone can casually swap out parts without any effort nor risk, it invalidates the experience of the people who had the will and ability to perform the work. Also, it might be a case of “it was always done like this.” Many computer nerds from the 90’s are now approaching or beyond their forties. Getting old sucks, since the things from childhood tend to fade away, replaced by something new and alien.

That is my guess. Short of obtaining the disturbing ability to read minds through the internet, I have to make assumptions.

To not fight is compliance in advance, which is a great source of power and comfort for fascism.

Further, it isn’t likely for the whole of the American military to be aligned with the Trump Regime. Odds are that we will have a civil war - and one side will have minorities serving, many of whom are competent people who have been exiled by the Trump Regime from all sectors of government: Military, intelligence, bureaucratic, and more. Already, the west coast Blue States are forming their own vaccine coalition to replace the loss of Federal services. That is the sign of an upcoming secession, as the Blue States form mutual services that are not dependent on the support of the Trump Regime.

Aside from all of that, America historically had difficulty against guerillas, whom tend to have small arms and communities. Freedom fighters within America’s borders are likely to be even more successful than their foreign peers, simply because ICE would run the risk of turning entire cities or states against the government. Foreign guerillas couldn’t quickly influence the politics of America much, because they aren’t American nor close to home.

Trans folks, get your guns while you can. They might be the difference between freedom or going to RFK’s “wellness” farms. As an autistic who will someday be targeted, I intend to stand on the line of battle with you.

No, a PC ecosystem where all the parts are shrouded and there are no wires to futz with.

It isn’t unrealistic - the original Starfox and Yoshi’s Island games were on cartridges, which included 3D acceleration (Super FX) hardware that increased the performance over the standard SNES. For the player to use it, all they had to do was just insert the cart into the SNES and start playing. The Nintendo 64 also had RAM expansion Paks that plugged into the machine, doubling the RAM to a massive 8 megabytes, in less than 10 seconds.

If PC customization was casualized, you might end up with more choices. If people are mentally blocked from putting together a custom system due to fear, that disincentives companies from being in the market. I know that I would consider the odd upgrade every couple of years, if FUD wasn’t making that feel like a bad thing to try.

I have built at least three machines, and I hate it. My hands tend to shake, and I worry when I drop a screw into the motherboard or trying to figure out how to wind a wire into position without causing damage. I am not a rich man, and fear losing money or my data if I mess up.

Honestly, I dislike your position, it sounds like a humble brag.

The simulation is run through an eldritch pigeon. The World Wars and Great Depressions are just when it pecks at a picture.

I am hoping this ends up being a PC hardware ecosystem, where each component is a cartridge or LEGO brick. Just pull out the power supply, RAM, GPU, or CPU, and slot in another, without worrying about breaking something or technical details. No need to dig your paws into the flesh of the machine and hope your rocket surgery skills are up to the task.
