I can’t be the only one who read that article and didn’t cringe a bit at the end. The woman thinks she is going to get through best care possible and she lives in Alabama, where they are currently shutting down maternity units: https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/in-alabama-three-maternity-units-will-stop-delivering-babies-heres-why-it-puts-women-at-risk/ar-AA1ifxW3
A lot of people in Linux subs seem to be ready and willing to unload their “everything is dumbed down” opinion, with all the ferver of a solider heading out to war. I’m a long time computer user, programmer and hacker, so I understand these points of view, but they come across as very gate-keepy around the idea of using a computer at all. Like… I think it’s obscene that so many people would think you need to learn how to use the command-line in order to use a computer.
You guys have it wrong, I love smart GUIs that mean I don’t have to spend my life writing complex command line statements, why are there so many people trying to hold back the wonder and marvel of computers from people who haven’t spent their entire lives dedicated to learning about the computer? I mean seriously, I don’t expect any of my friends or family to be as experienced at these things as I am, and that’s okay. I want the computer to be an easy thing to use. Hell, I want the computer to be easy to use so that I can apply my skills to building things on the computer and have people pay money for them, I think that’s a fairly reasonable trade.
Apple errors be all like
“Operation couldn’t be completed (com.apple.mobilephone error 1035)”
What am I supposed to do with this?
Linux error be all like
“System program problem detected. Do you want to report it?”
Who am I reporting this to, Linus himself? He’s just going to yell at me.
Might be worth putting a link in here seeing as this is a third-party mod https://deckhd.com/
I’m no journalist, but that headline is a bit of a mess, come on CommonDreams, gotta step up their headline game more.
Even if the SkyNet is created by Elon “kill the poor” Musk?
The money in politics and the fact that the Supreme Court can act unilaterally to decide that unethical-and-disastrous decisions are “OK” because they appointed 2 supreme court seats when one branch of the government suddenly decided they could not do their job, but only when it caused a constitutional crises in THEIR favor. Yes, the ones who lost out on that are the majority, even though we are made to believe that minority opinion should be respected in order to ensure “democracy” when it seems like the only people who actually see the benefits of all this equality and corrupt control of congress are “rich” people, in every single instance… there’s never a case where Mr. homelesss-guy-addicted-to-Fentenyl won the case and now the state pays him to rectify the horrible wrongs they had in not taking care of him when he needed it the most.
I don’t know about where you are, but Bernie support in my group of friends and otherwise is still pretty strong and I live on the other side of the country. I don’t know if “nobody has heard of” him, but I know that people in power frequently try to subvert and de-fang him because he doesn’t accept the status quo and seems to be open to changing the system.
Dude is legit, I’d vote for him.
There’s gotta be some better people out there right?
Hmmm might need to try this.
My wife introduced me to Tuna mixed with Mac & Cheese, and now I totally enjoy it myself, other people have found it a little strange.
Did people really think a dictator would let a silly thing like an election get in the way of his ambition for power? It’s hilarious that people thought Putin would give up his power without violence. The only way Putin will ever leave power is through violence. Look at those gigantic tables he sits at. Putin knows how “popular” he is, even in his own country.
