“you thought you did something there, didn’t you?”
For the rep they get, they actually do objectively more good than bad. It’s just that you’ll never hear about most the good and the bad sometimes tends to get extraordinarily bad. That’s just how it works, it’s why they were founded.
If it wasn’t obvious that the Debian box is a parody, here’s what the Japanese Chinese text along the top reads on each box:
Please read the instructions carefully and use it under the guidance of a physician. It is strictly prohibited to be used in food and feed processing.
Please read the installation instructions carefully and use it under the guidance of the administrator. It is strictly prohibited to use for server installation.
so yes, the title is correct-- this is not a coincidence, the Debian box was made explicitly for this joke
edit: thanks for the correction folks, honestly thought it looked more like Japanese than Chinese at first glance and I am obviously not an expert in either. Appreciate the call-out, very deserved.
Translation: “HELP I JUST BOUGHT THIS THING OFF AMAZON THAT’S SUPPOSED TO GIVE ME FREE TV TO DISTRACT MY KIDS BUT NOW ITS SAYING THINGS I DONT UNDERSTAND AND IM SCARED”
Also, please someone send her a L1ZY
Don’t look at me, you’re the one that wanted to start playing armchair attorney bud. Don’t get upset just cause you less practiced at this shitty game.
If we are to interpret explainer text meant to inform the public as word of law such as you have:
The civil harassment laws say “harassment” is:
- Unlawful violence, like assault or battery or stalking, OR
- A credible threat of violence, AND
- The violence or threats seriously scare, annoy, or harass someone and there is no valid reason for it.
The actions described in the green text could be interpreted as a credible threat of violence that is seriously annoying/scaring the individual, as they specifically mention how brave it is for trans people to show themselves in public, when the victim has never initiated the discussion or topic and has made clear both that they do not qualify for the classification and are uncomfortable with the label. This, by your logic, would make it civil harassment.
I’m also like 90% sure that “we don’t support it” is artificial, been meaning to test it.
My Firefox install at the office works fine with Teams but will refuse to load at home. I think it might be a version issue, but I’ll try to establish parity to make sure it’s not Microsoft being fucky thinking they can shaft anyone using Firefox/Linux outside of the office.
Red Hat
No, you’re angry at IBM. When news of the IBM acquisition broke, sector veteran colleagues I’m close with moaned and groaned that IBM was sure to do something to piss everyone off again, which was apparently their habit a couple decades back. Sure enough, they could not have been more accurate in their assessment.
Turns out IBM is three hot messes in a trenchcoat and always has been. Hence why they have already lost the Quantum wars and likely the GenAI wars as well. One AI vet I know says they’re posed to even lose the AI war altogether, which is pathetic given the groundwork provided by Watson alone.
So, technically speaking, an ace individual cannot find someone sexy? They can have sex with someone for the sake of having sex, be it for bond or pleasure or whatnot, but from what you’re saying they do not show any sexual attraction towards any demographic of people?
yeah no I’m not taking that bait, bud.
But “it” is for inanimate objects
Not quite. “It” is a general reference pronoun with a function akin to “the”. It can be used to refer to anything that is a thing, even if said thing is animate and/or living.
When referring indiscriminately to a specimen of fauna, “it” is a linguistically appropriate identifier whereas “they” would only really be entirely appropriate when referring to an individual or subset of individuals, regardless of species or animacy.
Since this fish has no distinguishable identity apart from the cultural impact it may spawn, I reckon it’s more appropriate to use “it” but “they” could also work.
I am not a linguist. But if you are, feel free to correct me. If you feel like pretending to be a linguist, go talk to an LLM cause IDC.
The painting swap doesn’t add much to this, but is otherwise fitting.
Title is slightly misleading, but body text is correct. This brings you up to the tourist area which is the furthest any vehicle can go besides rescue helicopters.
The air is, as one might imagine, wonderful up there and they have a nice little restaurant and some gift shops. And hot noodle vending machines, of course.
