  • The show became silly almost immediately after they ran out of book. June became a superwoman who could take bullets all day and not even lose the highlights in her hair after years in Gilead. Seasons…I forget now, maybe 2-3? We’re DBZ levels of trying to keep introducing the NEW strongest guy in the universe Gilead government. A significant amount of the show was invested in which boy June wanted to take to the prom. Now Elizabeth Moss is a producer on the show so it’s just full vanity project. It’s also leading into the sequel books TV adaptation which…I admit I didn’t read the book but I saw a lot of people saying they suspect Atwood had a ghost writer do it and it sounded pretty bad.

    I gave up on this show a season or two ago and frankly should have done so earlier. For a show with a social message it really does not take that social message seriously. I mean Christ they wrote one rape scene without even realizing it was one until articles talked about it after it aired.

    Sound is almost always the sticking point for me in Linux installs.

    But as I said in another comment, this doesn’t actually matter for the general populace because they don’t install OSes. The only situation where they’d use Linux is if they can buy a Linux PC ready to go, so config issues like this miss the forest for the trees.







  • Even if you think Elon is wonderful and doing just a great goodboy job in the government, you have to admit that he can’t possibly be monitoring Tesla at all right now. There’s only 24 hours in a day for everyone.

    And while it’s probably for the best that he ISN’T in the office at all, he does still own the thing, so what he does is still a problem for the company.

    So even if you ignore that he’s a nazi, which you shouldn’t, and just care about the car, you can’t imagine that Tesla the company is very secure right now. And these are not cars that are easy to just go get literally anyone to repair. So if Tesla fell apart tomorrow, it’d put your car investment in a very bad place.

    I mean 99.99999% of people are going to care more that he’s, again, a nazi doing nazi things right now, but chances are a lot of those people already knew that and already bailed on Tesla cars. His behavior now is going to affect the people willing to overlook that. Instead of putting out new (and ideally for just about any market more affordable) models he’s theoretically more focused on his robots or whatever, and in practice focused only on fucking around in the government and not Tesla at all. Nobody is looking to buy an old Tesla, and he’s not doing anything new besides the massive failure that is the Cybertruck, so why WOULD someone buy one?

    He has gotten at least three grants in the past that I saw on the NLNet website for Pixelfed, but none were listed as active when I looked. However, since you have to complete your project to get paid out I didn’t see a way to know if he actually received any or all of those grants. The current active grant is just for Loops. I believe the old Pixelfed grants also required certain licensing and the project being open source though.

    Also, as of this morning, he was posting about how in order to make Loops open source and federated he needs to hit $200k on his Kickstarter. However, he was previously challenging people who were claiming it’s not currently federated or open sourced. So now the story is that it’s not yet and he needs more money to make that happen when previously he was claiming it already was both of those things.

    It’s…a mess for sure.
