linux gang stays winning

you can try adding 12ft.io/ in front of the url to bypass some paywalls (e.g. 12ft.io/https://piss.cum/). I just tried it on aftermath and it worked

(Trump’s) basic idea that, in a transaction, someone wins and someone loses is the most deeply anti-American, anti-capitalist idea you can possibly have. The idea of winners and losers being said about capitalism is a gross distortion of what that’s supposed to be.

Lol

a fate worse than death

we’re already seeing it with stuff like game pass, which is just paying a monthly fee to rent games. not to sound paranoid but I swear the amount of times I’ve seen the phrase “game pass is the best value in gaming” on social media like reddit/twitter/etc. makes me think they’ve been astroturfing this shit hard and it’s frustrating to see people fall for it.

If I can’t pay money and own the game then I’ll just steal it or do something else with my time

I’d expect the same out of a machine I might potentially have to, say, deliver a pregnant wife to the hospital in.

lol first thing I thought of too. I’ve been in emergency situations where I needed to get to a hospital immediately and if my car did this I’d be fucking livid. As dangerous as motorcycles are at least I know that mine will never fail a software update or some shit, and if it doesn’t start I can just bump start it to get it going and then figure out what’s wrong later.

I’m no luddite but there’s beauty in a machine that’s designed to be as simple to operate and maintain as possible

I hate how so many projects have replaced their support forums with discord servers too
