I try to leep my bullshit detector well-maintained; I see some AI crap being forced and think: "Well that's some bullshit!"

You know what, that's fair enough. I was talking about a pretty narrow definition of openwashing, but obviously something just being libre software doesn't make it good.

Lenovo Thinkpad laptops are generally well-supported (at least the mainstream business oriented product lines). The Linux support for Lenovo's consumer oriented budget laptops is just as much of a crapshoot as other manufacturers'.

I'm not sleeping on the job, I'm solving problems by lucid dreaming.

It's some of the funniest TV I've seen in ages and I demand another season.

True, those aren't my cup of tea either.

Come on, give Greta a chance, she's deserved it.

I think you're being annoying and obtuse. I think your reading of the reply I took the effort of giving you shows bad faith or poor reading comprehension. Your saving grace and the reason I'm not hurling invective at you is that after replying to multiple separate comments and asking for proof that DHH should be considered a fascist by some unspecified standard you seem to hold, you finally did go and search for the available information on your own.

It's your choice whether the behavior of the people involved counts as fascism in your eyes but I don't care for the attitude of coming into a thread and pestering multiple people to give you context you can find on your own. Trust me, we understood the first reply. No need for seven.

I'm not a fan of the rainbow keyboard but at least it can be turned off.

Guy who looks exactly like the antichrist wearing Groucho glasses with a fake nose and moustache pointing at other people in the room and accusing them of being the antichrist.

Triple posting just to whine about the distinction between a mere douchebag and a fascist sounds like textbook sealioning, but on the off chance you're genuinely interested in learning, David Heinemeier Hansson has orchestrated hostile takeovers of RubyGems and NixOS projects with the very apparent intent of excluding marginalized minorities and people who support not marginalizing minorities out of those projects. He has done this with the collaboration of key people from the defense contractor Anduril, including its founder. This demonstrated combination of bigotry, reactionarism and antidemocratic strongman tactics is more than sufficient to consider him a fascist.

bongrip Manjaro is a psyop to make Arch look less competently maintained than it really is

To answer the question, the most unintuitive part of that is YAML.

Critical support for comrade DeVault in his struggle against western imperialism?

The real problem with leftist infighting is that if you call a different type of leftist a mean word, some ignorant liberal is going to call you the same word. And then a reactionary will call a liberal that.

Nice, the language itself also looks pretty cool, which you love to see.

open source people, are you ok?

No.

A technical is a civilian vehicle (typically a pickup truck) modified with a system for mounting weapons (typically machine guns or heavier, crew-operated weaponry) on it. An ongoing debate among military philosophers concerns whether a zamboni with a T-shirt cannon should be classified as one.

My mom has a Dyson sphere Ball. It sucks, which is actually good in this case because that's what it's supposed to do.

There certainly are users, both on Windows and Linux who do "hack out" these things. With Firefox it can range from just going through the small hassle of unticking the sponsor option in settings to making forks like the LibreWolf which people seem to like. When the Ubuntu Amazon thing was ongoing I recall people switching desktop environments and even distros in protest and for Windows I know people who hunt elusive enterprise only versions or even Chinese market editions of the OS to avoid the ads.

I usually appreciate it when distros avoid fucking with the upstream versions of the software they package, so in the occasional case like this where the upstream decides to ship a shitty "feature" I would actually prefer being patched out by the distro package maintainers, I don't mind accepting the responsibility of just turning off the setting or compiling a fork on my own if necessary.
