I'll pitch that this is just the natural result of repealing the fairness doctrine by Reagan in 1985.

The fairness doctrine started out in 1949 as a policy to avoid having the top broadcaster's of the time (NBC, ABC, and CBS) create a biased public agenda by leveraging their audience monopoly. They were required to provide multiple contrasting view points on issues of public importance.

When Reagan repealed the fairness doctrine, the influence on media outlets to pitch left or right leaning view points only, took off.

I've mostly done hobby projects with rust.

  • axum + mongodb + oauth2 (just basic rest api)

  • rust-bert ( for some nlp stuff. Zero-shot, NER, etc.)

  • Bevy ( I was following a tutorial for a super basic space invaders game)

I chose rust because I always like to have some kind of systems level programming language on my belt. It used to be c++. Rust had seemed very interesting so I began trying it out more and more. It's awesome.

I think the embryos are also thrown in the trash. Are these where dumpster babies come from?

I have a framework laptop and endeavour os with gnome de. I've had no problems with it. I mainly use it for dev work and web browsing. I enabled gnome muli-gesture (basically the same gestures on a Mac trackpad). I've had no problems with that either.

I'd recommend it.

I've said it once with my brother. I'll say it again. I'm waiting for some kind of assassination attempt. Just in general. Not even a party affiliated prediction. I just think somebody is going to take a shot at "solving the problem".

I'm just waiting for us to go full circle where the majority are just listening to the radio for the broadcast about the game.

Valve with Proton also helped a lot. Playing games on Linux is easy as pushing play. If I have any problems, I just wait for a glorious egg roll to drop.

I dabbled in Linux for a while (since 2009, college). I did some distro hopping for a while ( Ubuntu, opensuse, mint, Debian). I finally mained Linux after windows 8 came out, ugh.

I mained Manjaro and then switched over to Endeavour. I couldn't be happier. My opinion of Linux keeps getting better and better, but that's probably because I have to fix my parents computers once in a while. They run windows 10 now. I hate it. Ads in the start menu?! Kill me now.

Jesus Christ. Even plastic straws are being argued over. I'm so tired of the grid lock. Everybody seems to treat the parties like baseball teams.

I had a feature request come down the pipeline that said, "We need this computer to send a notification out to other nodes on the network in the event it loses power."

I thought it was just a poorly worded health polling feature. I was wrong. They literally wanted a dead computer to send out a message.

It took me asking them to send me a text message after turning off their phones before they realized the issue.

I used to work with a guy that as soon as a slice was in my mouth, he'd ask, "you good? Want any more?". Then he'd proceed to put all the remaining pizza in Ziploc bags and take them home.

He's an asshole

Besides all the arm and hand comments, I noticed the center guy doesn't have buttons that run all the way down. I'm not sure if this is accurate clothing or not. It just seemed unusual.
