Zuckerberg said on Joe Rogan that he wants more “masculine energy workplace”, where the leaders “celebrate aggression a bit more”. Makes sense he was talking about executive boots all over office worker faces.

The 30% percent cut, stealing money from devs

This is a pretty spicy take. Let’s consider two possibilities:

1. Game devs choose to distribute independently, and sell their game for $20. They sell 100,000 copies and make $2 million in revenue, and keep the entire $2 million.

2. Game devs choose to distribute via Steam, promote it with a 50% off sale, it goes to the Steam front page, sells 500,000 copies at only $10 each, for a total $5 million in revenue. Steam takes $1.5 million and the devs take $3.5 million.

In scenario 2 the devs make 75% more than in scenario 1. Did Valve steal from the game devs?

If your last time using Linux was 10 years ago you’re going to be SO PLEASED at how good it is now.

Is there like a word that stands for, “I can’t be perfect so I gave up trying to be better”?

Netanyahu: I would like to buy seven billions worth of your finest bombs, please. I have no intention to use them, pinkie swear.

You: I trust this reliable upstanding moral character, if he says he won’t use them, he really means it.

You’re living with the delusion of clean hands and a clean conscious and you only had to sacrifice countless numbers of people to do it.

If it was only America that was fucked it wouldn’t be such a big deal, America deserves it.

Unfortunately the election consequences also mean America is locking in accelerating climate change, which is going to hurt the poorest countries the most.

America and the other richest countries have the best means to mitigate the damage. American homes come with heating and AC standard.

In the most marginalized communities in the world climate change is going to turn into climate genocide.

Trump does something abhorrent.

Writes paragraph explaining why it’s the Democrats fault.

The conservative propoganda machine has really done a number on some of y’all.

Like you couldn’t even stop to acknowledge what happened you were so eager to make Trump’s actions all about the Dems.

Because under the hood x11 code is such a hacky mess the developers found it easier to start from scratch than add new features like HDR and VRR to x11.

If new features don’t matter to you, there’s still plenty of distros and DE’s and WM’s that ship x11 and will continue for a very long time.

We also export a hell of a lot of soybeans, so when retaliatory tariffs kick in I guess our new ultra-masculine conservative government is going to have us all eating lots and lots of soy.

The fascists have done an incredible job lulling people into a false sense of security with “Trump just says outrageous things to trigger the libs he’ll never actually do anything”.

Fuzzy memories after 4 years of anti-Democrat propoganda, remember overwhelmingly Americans use social media that backs Trump (X, Meta, TikTok), to the point that even US “leftists” were all in anti-“blue MAGA”.

It’s classic manufactured consent. That’s why FAFO was trending after election. Americans don’t know what they voted for. They are about to find out - the hard way.

I would argue that the supermajority weren’t fine with this result, these real life consequences, but were under a collective cope/delusion that “Killer Kamala” was a “weak woman” but also a warhawk who just wanted to genocide lots of people in Gaza and prolong the war in Ukraine, and Trump was going to bring peace and prosperity and lower the cost of living.

Americans are mostly stupid, poorly educated, gullible, and easily deceived by low effort promises.

It will crumble, the question is will it crumble fast enough before its oil and gas fetish accelerates climate change too far.
