Wow this is an awesome response, thanks!

I also never use cash, but the thought popped into my head recently when I did need to use it and was looking for the right bill in a semi dark environment.

How do blind people use cash in the US? Other countries have different sizes and textures and stuff, but not our cash.

Well the CEO is typically also a large shareholder. They are compensated with shares in addition to salaries. The idea is that they will ensure shareholder value because it also increases their pay.

Not saying I like it, just explaining why they hurt CEOs

It’s a “thorn” and that’s what it’s for. Used to be very common hundreds of years ago.

I was curious and looked it up, the price for BDXL could be a lot better. You’re better off just backing up to external HDD and keeping it on a faraday bag or something.

I used to (like 20 years ago) back up to DVD. It got pretty unweildy keeping track of what “stuff” I kept on which disk.

That said I guess I do fall into the “hardcore hoarder” category.

Yeah I actually saw video footage on the news last night and I think you’re right.

…had to be rescued via kayak.

What?! Can someone explain to me (a verified idiot) how a person is rescued from a house fire by kayak?

No one was killed in the incident. Apparently the last drove herself to the hospital so she wasn’t even arrested.

Your heart is in the right place, but please do read more than a headline. Bring reactionary is the job of the other side.

I stream my music files from my personal server. I also use an mp3 player when I know I’ll be offline for an extended period.

Well they are happier. The suffering makes them happier.

I don’t think the Linux foundation is doing any development themselves. Linux is open source, so anyone can contribute. I think the Linux foundation is like a legal entity and marketing kinda thing. I could be wrong about this though.

I like to think I’m the right-most Fedora, but some days I’m for sure the other Fedora.

His books might suck, but this is a funny thought.

I hope all these fuckers running the companies get the day they voted for.

Does this actually work to repel fleas?

“the move” from Seinfeld finally revealed. But you are supposed to end with a swirl.

Andrew isn’t British. WTF?

I just don’t understand how it’s more “techy” than Reddit. I just want our user count to keep going up.

I think we should focus less on hyping federation/decentralization and more on how there are no ads and the content is really coming from actual users (and maybe a leftist bias).

I got a few friends on here by explaining that choosing a server is no different from choosing an email provider. Everyone understands email, that you can communicate with most other email users no matter what their provider is.

Can’t they just get around a tax like that by borrowing cash (for their lifestyle) and using their assets as collateral?
