Nothing too odd about that. For example, Bose assembles some of its most successful products (such as the Soundlink revolve) in Mexico, regardless of the target market.

I have ZERO sympathy for companies whose services are affected by this. Because seriously, fuck Amazon.

…and 99,99% of middle managers ‘’‘working’‘’ in tech be like yeaaaaaaaa daddy just cram that shit down my throat like I’m an abused goose!

Reminds me that, at least according to Wikipedia, one of the biggest allies of the ‘Aryan Brotherhood’ US prison gang is none other than… the Mexican mafia.

Funny, just a couple of nights ago, I was wondering if this distro still exists. I tried it some 5 years ago and I found it sleek, but its reliance on systemd made me migrate.

I always thought not being able to use it’s and its correctly was bad enough…until I saw people confusing those and does in the wild…wtf.

I bet it tastes like cheetos.

NetBSD. This box seems to have a vanilla x86 processor and it has plenty of resources (for NetBSD, that is). You can’t use this as a daily driver, but it should be good enough to learn UNIX and/or self-host some stuff.

I’m very proud of you, for that simply means that you don’t want to become a modern slave, and therefore, that your brain still works.

A couple of years ago, I had a Napster subscription (the reborn, legal variant of it). At first, I was happy to have unlimited access to music, then after 2 years I realised that I was paying 120 EUR a year for music I’ll never own, so I cancelled the subscription and put my yearly budget for music to exactly that amount. It yields more than enough given I buy used CDs, and then digitalise them. That way I own the physical media as backup AND am able to transfer the digital, PCM-quality tracks unfettered across my devices AND with no need for DRM or shitty proprietary applications.

I once had to (try to) explain to a millennial how to type an URL into his browser’s address bar. To him, Internet and Google were literally synonymous. To this day, I can’t get over it.

I’d say ‘change banks’.

No they don’t. There are viable, open source alternatives for 99% of the software/services we use. The fact that people are not aware of it is already like half of the real problem.
