You're probably correct in that it is a balancing act with no real winners.

It's too bad so few seem to be able to see the nuances.

If by economy you mean some of us are needed to mop up hydraulic ass-juices at gunpoint I suppose you're technically correct. At least they have to feed us, right?

..right?

At least that'll correct itself when all the fish are dead, right?

..right?

Depending on what your definition of "enterprise" is, I've attended what was at the time a fairly large and prestigious art school that ran everything on Macs.

They even preferred that we didn't bring windows laptops, although after some.. rather intense protests by pretty much anyone under 25 we did get to bring our own peripherals.

Edit: I'll also add that outside the shitty keyboards and mice, the server system they had set up with our accounts on etc was completely fine.

Never had a single issue with it and it was my first ever touching a Mac.

I've been on the outside observing this escalating shit show for 8 years now and I think I've finally reached the point where I don't even have the words to convey what I feel about the current state of American politics.

I mean, I know there's a lot of history behind it etc., but just the past months? I don't even..

I hope shit gets better for ya'll, I sincerely do.

Åland is still a part of Finland, even though they have a certain degree of autonomy.

At least there's ~~two~~ three of us.

"Grok" really says everything that needs to be said about this farce, isn't it?

You want me to be civil towards Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson et. al.?

I say fuck that, and fuck them.

The only media you seem to consume is Fox News and whatever that fat fucks podcast is called. They think they're smart, too, just like you.

The man is a swedish speaking Finn originally, it kinda comes with the territory. We might technically be a minority but we're still as Finnish as the rest of them (to a certain degree at least).

He's not a giant asshole, he just doesn't sugar-coat everything he says.

It's sort of a defining trait in people where he is from. If we say something we tend to say it straight. He might be a more extreme example than most, but I had a good friend from the same neighborhood and he was the same.

We grew up a few years later when he had already moved to the US, but we used to sneak smokes in the park right outside where he first made Linux. My friend lived in the same building as he had done, but he was so computer illiterate that he had no idea who Linus was. I did, though, because Linus described that place pretty well in what I believe was his first book.
