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.

You mean you don’t want to give the fascist David Ellison any money?!? Me either :)

A proper government would charge him and his shit AI with hate crimes. Too bad we don’t have one of those anymore.

Thank you. I liked KDE when I played with Mandrake many years ago. Does that still exist? Maybe just dated the last time I tried to run Linux as my primary. I have “supported” Linux as needed throughout the years, but mostly through competent searches and general IT knowledge.

Easy?!? We’re talking about breaking 30 years of habits :). But thank you for your response. Remote/RDP because I travel as much as possible (digital nomad currently in the Caribbean) and want to connect home while I’m out. Why hypervisor? Work. I tend to spin up a clean VM for each client, and sometimes need to test things. And my media server has a hardware RAID, but needs to move off NTFS. Probably the first machine I move to Linux.

Thank you! Being an IT professional, I have many machines and will probably try more than one until I find my stride. I bought a new SSD for my media server so I can swap out (and go back if I run out of time) while I learn the new OS. I have two or three other machines that are ready for a change. My primary laptop may only get a Linux VM or two while I adapt.

And which flavor of Linux? I would assume I’d use Ubuntu, but I don’t know the pros and cons of any of them.

I want to switch, but I need some help. I need to be able to “RDP” into remote machines. I think that one is probably easy and built-in from decades ago. I also need to be able to setup a Hyper-V equivalent, to run other machines from my main laptop- haven’t figured that one out yet. And for my media server (Plex), I need to understand the best way to setup a RAID5 or better across multiple drives. Any recommendations on guides for a lifelong NT4 MCSE & current Azure admin? I am sick of Win11 (and 10, 8.1 was OK, 7 was better… they just keep getting worse)

Next your gonna tell me he’ll make junior high students learn the teachings of Al-Jabr. Unbelievable!

It wasn’t the best that could get passed. The Dems had a super majority during Obama’s 1st two years and could have gotten us Medicare for all, but Rahm Emmanuel blocked it.

AI research is not philanthropy. Article should say ‘Fascists stop hiding their billions in fake charity, redirect it towards harming humanity further.’

He clearly missed out on how DOGE cost more than they cut. Kinda expect that cognitive dissonance from a Libertarian.

It’s also yet another violation of the Hatch Act. This makes the… let’s see… 7 billionth time Republicans have violated this law? Or is it up to 8 billion violations?

He also claimed he felt it through his Kevlar vest. Didn’t know sandwiches are more powerful than bullets.

So great that you will release an accurate jobs report? Didn’t think so. But hey, we’re told AI will take all the jobs. So at least we got that going for us. /s

Bill Gates is a fascist. He has no spine, no ethics, no morality. He is a billionaire piece of shit.

Bet ya $100 no private jet is grounded.

I know they have no shame. But I use it as a litmus test to see what kind of idiot I’m dealing with. If they can’t see the hypocrisy, they’re an idiot whose opinions should be ignored and actions should be countered.

“Unconstitutional redistricting” yep it sure is. But totally OK for Texas and Indiana to find more seats for the fascists. /s

Pot, meet kettle.
