They’re affionados of /pol/itically incorrect views. I chose that specific board for a reason :)

They do have a sense of taste… it’s just overwhelmingly rancid.

It’s more like a donut. Not all 4chan posters are DOGE staff, but all DOGE staff are /pol/ afficionados.

Someone should check the email and phone number of Adrian Dittman to see if they match Elon’s. Idiots can argue that it isn’t Elon despite speech pattern evidence, but it’s harder to argue when both of them share the same identifying info.

My money is on them suggesting people will get a bigger slice of the pie once the “fraud” is removed.

Have them think they’ll get their payments, but with interest and a thank you bonus if they just keep being patient. String them along until they either starve or get evicted, then they don’t have to pay them anymore.

otherwise, I’m out of the question.

You say that like there will be a choice to opt out. If the US goes to WW3, the draft and mandatory service are coming back with it.

They also paid for a study on how digital piracy affects profits and then buried it when the result showed that it didn’t have a negative impact.

The EU cares about the EU and its wealth, not its citizens. It’s still a big step up over the land of the free-to-sell-its-citizens-wellbeing-to-the-corporations, though.

Uh… what? They only thing they have in common is following the POSIX standard. The moment you step outside of that POSIX lowest common denominator, it becomes abundantly clear just how different they are.

Screenshots? Look at Mr. Speedy Pants over here!

In my experience, half the time it’s a bloody YouTube video. Nothing says “fun” like having to seek back around in a video to find the next step without waiting 20 extra seconds because you already had to seek back and pause the video after it breezed past an overcomplicated and poorly explained step.

You think that’s bad? For as much as I love seeing a well-configured Nix system, it’s beginner-unfriendly learning curve is almost as bad as “compile everything yourself” distros.

As a beginner, do you have a question about Nix? RTFM. You did? Well, wrong Nix. You wanted to learn something about Nix the language, but those docs were about Nix the OS and Nix the package manager.

You just read a guide for using the nix command and wanted to install a program with nix-env? That’s an outdated guide. You should be using flakes and nix profile. You tried that, but it said the nix command is experimental so you didn’t do it? No, you were supposed to edit /etc/nix/nix.conf to enable them first.

Don’t get me wrong here though, I like Nix. It just desperately needs an actual beginner-friendly beginner guide for flakes and nix command commands that doesn’t assume everyone is a software developer. 80% of the Nix documentation tutorials aren’t even relevant to regular users, only package maintainers and NixOS users.

You’re putting way too much faith in the typical consumer. Enshittifying Chrome even more would piss its users off, but inertia and its market dominance would keep most of them continuing to use it while complaining about how bad it is.

Remember: It took 8 years for Chrome to drag Internet Explorer to the point where less than 10% of people actually used it. And that’s with Firefox already being a competitor to it for years.

Why was the path to my save games hidden in a dotfile-folder?

It isn’t any better on Windows, but oh boy does this one piss me off.

~/.config/mygame — wtf, no it's not config
~/mygame — fuck off, the home folder is mine
~/.local/share/mygame — better, I guess?
~/.cache/mygame — absolutely not here
~/.steam/.../MyGame — still not great, but at least it's self contained
