Yes it was. Our generation’s Kennedy assassination. I was in 3rd grade and this launch was hyped in school more than anything before it.

What does NASA stand for? Need Another Seven Astronauts.

Why does NASA drink Sprite? They can’t get 7-Up.

Why doesn’t NASA have any competition? They destroyed their last Challenger.

Once these countries leave, they’ll never go back. And then the rest of us get better alternatives to this enshitification model.

Or Cardassian. Or Romulan. Both were fascist.

8th Amendment- Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

This POS swore an oath to uphold this. Impeach him too.

Not M$ OneDrive, Google Drive, Apple Cloud, FB, Twitter… maybe TPB?

Direct violation of our 8th Amendment

I still have Azure certs, and Microsoft is still my job. But… if I can make my job moving others off Microsoft, many souls can be saved.

Not familiar enough with the differences. Plus I’ll learn it better if I have to figure out all the ways to do a task instead of just one. Nano or Emacs or Vim? KDE or Gnome? Too much to choose from! :)

All of them! I have Ubuntu 24LTS on my desktop, prepping Mint for a utility machine, testing Manjaro and Endeavor in VMs, not sure what distro I will move my laptop to yet.

Finally switching to Linux!

Venezuela also has a LOT of gold. Not just oil rich.

Cruelty is the point. They are evil. All fascists are.

Dear EU members- you control your own DNS. Do the world a favor, set the DNS for all the US tech companies to 127.0.0.1. Take away a billion customers from the bootlickers that sat next to the orange crybaby and lied just how he wanted them to. Crush them. For all of us. And ban the sale of their fascist products from all of the EU. You have more power than you realize.

Looks like that may be happening already. Who gets to buy WB? Netflix, or David/Larry Ellison Skydance? One has promised to censor CNN.

Why do you think Chump forced ByteDance to sell to his US buddy? See above.

I don’t think that’s possible. So much is being spent on AI, that the amount of revenue it needs to generate is unreachable. Either lots of money starts coming in soon, or the ability to spend $100s of billions more evaporates. If the bubble were to continue for 10 years, it would have to have generated enough revenue to survive, while continuing to spend more than it could ever make.

If you haven’t seen it, go watch Continuum. Great show where they predict a very similar “Corporate Congress” that rules the world. Different type of dystopian hell.

But why agree to still broadcast it? Doesn’t sound like a very well thought out boycott. Instead, they should host their own Eurovision. With blackjack and hookers :)
