POP goes the weasel.

90% of the time we do, but sadly 32% of us don’t because they’re lazy and refuse to give 110% at school. 💯

“Try that shit on my M. Bison!!”

Maybe. Though some people seem to care more about pragmatism than others.

Go on?

This doesn’t really say much that they haven’t said before at this point. Hopefully Steam Machines win out in the long run.

I think their views are similar (and similarly naive, in my humble opinion) as they both emphasize the idea of personal liberty to do whatever they want to do.

The big difference is that the libertarian generally has more assets and thus a stronger belief in property, whereas the anarchist doesn’t.

But I’m neither, so I’d be curious to hear what people who consider themselves these things will say.

I heard that Erik Melvin is suing Fat Mike and the band over money. Mike even wrote a song about it a few months back.

You sound paralyzed by the infinite possibilities behind you, and you’re worrying too much about the opportunity cost of how you spend your time. You do A, and then think about how you could have been doing B or C instead. But the truth is that at any given moment we can only do 1 thing, and as such are choosing not to do an infinite number of other things.

So, my kind of existential answer is that only you can decide what you should and shouldn’t be doing.

If having stuff and doing stuff brings meaning and adds value to your life, then do it. If chilling out and relaxing in comfort and good company is meaningful and valuable to you, then do that instead.

In the end you will die, and after that, the death of the Earth, our star system, or galaxy and even the universe itself. We can interpret that fact to mean that nothing we do really matters, or we can interpret it to mean that anything we do is valid if we feel that is what we are driven to do.

As long as you are being a good person and fulfilling your obligations to others, then you should recognize the power that comes with freedom over your life. Keep looking forward.

No. Never. Of course we all have weird and shocking nightmares from time to time, but during the day? Definitely not.

Are you ok? Do you feel safe at home and around the people you live with? How vivid are these “intrusive thoughts”? Could they be categorized as hallucinations?

Even if you think it’s not a big deal, you might want to talk to a professional therapist about that.

You’re a special kind of stupid if you’ll take an IOU from Trump.

North Korea shit. Like so much of Trump’s America, it’s beneath us.

Nintendo wants you to buy a Switch 2. Exclusive games like Pokemon mean that you probably eventually will.

I think they’re finally worried about Valve and Steam.

Honestly, it might be a wakeup call for laptop vendors, or it might just put a lot of them out of business. This is not a good economy for them to suddenly have to compete with Apple on value…

Not usually an Apple guy, but it’s hard to overstate how smart it is to focus on affordability right now. I feel like having a ~$500 device in the current market is so important. (Especially if it respects your privacy.)

This is the opposite of “own nothing and be happy” and I suspect these things are gonna sell like hotcakes.

Now we just need to get Linux going on them. 🫡

Probably not, at least not yet. The Asahi Linux project for Linux on Macs seems to only support the first few M chips to varying degrees. It’d be amazing if they got it working though!

Most of the great philosophers in history didn’t have a degree in philosophy.

Moreover, having a degree in philosophy doesn’t make you a philosophy expert any more than having a driver’s license makes you a driving expert.

Don’t treat anyone as an authority, just be respectful of everyone regardless of whether you perceive them as being in a position of power or not.

By the way, you have all of the agency in the world to make a different community, or even an entirely different server, if you feel that you don’t like how things are being run.

I’d argue that they don’t actually have much more power than any other user, since anyone can make a community or even an entirely new server if they want. The FOSS nature of the fediverse puts a lot of agency in the hands of the user if they choose to use it.

Just back up your important data! Always backup before messing with operating systems or partitioning.
