My dad, now passed, once said “I’m glad I won’t have to live in the world you kids are growing up in” (or approximately those words). He was primarily referring to privacy and rights, which I think were being directed by Bush at that time.

I was young and privileged enough that I had noticed a few worrying governmental trends but didn’t really feel myself affected, nor did I have much concern about the future. I now feel his words more impactfully.

(I know some of the prevailing sentiments on lemmy; I worry about our collective future but don’t resent my dad for his part in bringing me into this world. He was a good dad who provided me with a good life and set me up to continue that after he was gone and, even if that weren’t true, he couldn’t have predicted the world we’re in today.)

It’s not.

And the owner of Epic, which owns Fortnite, is rabidly anti Linux. I believe he’s made some concessions to lose less of the Deck market share, but he’s made many insulting and untrue statements of Linux and its users in the past as well as actively sabotaging Linux functionality in games that used to have it.

I dearly love my kid, but I don’t think I would rely on them for support. Certainly they would be willing to at least try to provide it, but they’re a kid. Any significant support being provided should go in the opposite direction.

Thank you for the information.

Thanks for the information!

Yes, and also I was able to extrapolate that much, but I was looking for some idea of what kind of content they provided.

That said, I can look them up; apologies for bothering you on the matter.

What are Astrum, Fireship and Hoog?

Is this what they mean when they say “stream of consciousness”?

edit: Fix ironic typo.

I haven’t in a while, but back when I generated passwords for users, I would use the openssl command.

That sounds like an alliterative challenge.

I think you’re making a joke I’m too oblivious to get, but in case I was wrong:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadsby_(novel)

(Not to be confused with a similarly titled book that definitely uses the letter ‘e’)

Did you ever read that book that was written without using the letter “e”? Now there’s something on which English - the word itself even - depends.

Huh, I’ve never noticed you write a message without the need to replace a “th” before.

Personally I’d rather it broke mine.
