Not at all wrong. I hate to use this word because it denigrates our wonderful lady friends (both bio and of choice), but cops are pussies. Like the ultimate ones. “look at me! I’m a badass cop gonna violate your rights! Back the Blue!” Let’s see what my lawyer has to say about your “badassery”. I thought so, bitch. Here’s a coupon code for Dunkin. Go away.
Precisely. Someone understands cultural context of words.
If you call a cop a “coward”, it means nothing. Because coward is a culturally dead word in an archaic sense. But if you call them a “pussy” then the meaning and cultural power behind the word changes. Medieval knights can be cowards. But cops are pussies.
Also I’m less likely to take political correctness lessons from a dude whose handle is TIMMAY…the retarded kid from South Park. Also a culturally dense word.
Uhh, do you think the show’s creators meant to show him as “physically disabled” or retarded? What was the cultural intent on that? Again, don’t play the culture war games with people who have zero cultural understanding. PC Principle is also a pussy. There ya go. Have fun in microagression and cancel culture land or whatever Marxists are calling it these days while feeling good for stomping on free speech while claiming to be about “free speech”
IDK. Consider PC Principal for a second. He’s a Marxist bro who idealizes every left-wing stereotype, who runs an educational instutition forcing politically correct language on children. You tell me what the intentions are, since you are so “woke”. Political Correctness is cultural denialism and self-imposed censorship, instead of productive dialog concerning social issues. Since you like South Park, here…there are two people in this picture and they are exactly the same. https://lemmy.sdf.org/pictrs/image/89097873-c3db-4882-87d8-b2fcc02e3775.png
Yes and no. It depends on what your aim is. I LOVE Nix and it runs like a beast on my ZBook. But I’m after reproducible environments I can just blast around on all over the place without a heavy imagining solution. Works great for that.
Does it take some time to setup as a daily driver? Yes. But no more than Arch. But the thing with Nix is if you already have a robust config, it takes less time than Arch to go from zero to stomping out code.
Ubuntu is a great generic distro. But I find Nix gives me oomph. As with everything in this ecosphere…use what works for YOU! 😁
My employer insists on branding everything, to the point of excess. Maybe not sticker bombed in the most definitive sense, but here’s my issue laptop....
Howdy! To celebrate the Old Computer Challenge 2023 and to help people stay connected to Mastodon on their retro machines, I’ve put up an instance of the wonderful, sparse Mastodon client Brutaldon. It’s available both via HTTP and HTTPS on any reasonably good browser with basic CSS support (ie; netsurf, older firefox,...
I was going through some old things on Gopher recently and came across information about WideAreaInformationServers. The problem I am having is figuring out if there are any still in operation and if so, how you would access them in this day and age. If anyone has info on this topic, I would love to hear your thoughts.
WAIS is long gone. There are no more servers running having been ran primarily by the now defunct Thinking Machines (they made those big beautiful super computers with all the red lights like in Jurassic Park). There is an open implementation called OpenWAIS, but I can't remember if it includes a WAIS server.

My SGI Octane!
I turned my Octane into a bad ass workstation for cruising the deep web :D https://lemmy.sdf.org/pictrs/image/0e5b70e1-917c-4ac1-9d0b-1f59899780ca.png
