Oh dear, Tim. I guess you just told us your future.

“What else can we do that’s hostile to our customers?”

The next move will be bringing back Clippy and then a full-screen ad that you have to dismiss every ten seconds.

Exactly. I’ve been doing it for so long (because otherwise my cats would splash the water) that I find it gross when people leave them open to flush.

Something else that just occurred to me… It’s only a matter of time before we kidnap Zelensky to end Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Is he still the non-interventionist candidate? /s

Put this piece of shit in jail.

Absolute bullshit.

I feel sad for all the youthful Linux nerd who were excited about the year of the Linux desktop who died of old age. They were only many years too soon.

Happy 2026 Linux everybody!

Worked on my Mac. Might be because I have the StopTheMadness extension. It specifically tries to prevent such bullshit.

I understand your point, but they seem to have subjugated Hong Kong pretty successfully. I would agree with you more if that hadn’t recently happened.

I watched the first couple seasons and liked it. I’ve intended to come back to it and just haven’t got around to doing so. We have a list of shows and movies to watch a million miles long or it would have happened already.

Virtualbox is free. I hate it, but it definitely works at no cost. VMware Workstation is also free.

Edit: without double-checking to make sure I’m saying it correctly, you probably want to avoid a bridged network and assign one of the other types of network adapters for separation of network devices, but you’ll have to search the terminology to find details.

I’m a Proxmox user and this is the wrong use of it. Proxmox is for hosting multiple VMs, not a solution for needing one.

Says a lot about the level of intelligence of rightwing nationalists.

Those panels must have been the “apologizing for being white” that JD mentioned.

I take deliberate breaks from stuff like Lemmy and the news. I only came back here after a multi-month break this month. It works.

We shall torrent if the archive link goes down. I’m already hosting Israeli crimes in Gaza and the Patriot Front leak. Expose nazi fucks. Do your part.

I spend a lot of time in /tmp sending temporary output to files and testing commands when building shell scripts. It’s appropriate that a long-haired fluffer butt lives there because that’s been most of my cats through the years.

Sounds like you have people you can call? If so, ask someone to go do something physical together where conversation doesn’t have to be center-stage, like hiking. If you live in a place where there’s good hiking spots with challenging terrain, such as steep hills (hopefully accompanied by beautiful views), you might be too out of breath for the absence of conversation to be unnatural.

Good thinking. High risk. Impressed that you thought ahead to avoid the risk. I like the home entertainment suggestion, but you could also use the extra cycles to run containers or VMs in the background. I know you said you already have a server, so I’m trying to think what else would provide utility. Nice find, hope you come up with some fun projects.
