I could see Linux attracting the “I am a superior intellect” types and then those people drifting rightward over the last ten years. If they didn’t start out far right.

The best way of conserving nature is to build a ginormous wall 110 miles long and 1,600 feet high that utterly destroys wildlife’s ability to traverse territory it has been traversing for eons. It is known.

“Why… why do they need a racing team? Why does the racing team need a lego set? Who is buying it for 27 dollars? (Well apparently the answer to that last question is nobody).”

Apparently NEOM is sponsoring some McLaren Formula E teams. (Formula E being electric). Google Pixel, Tumi luggage, and the UK Ministry of Defence are other sponsors, but NEOM seems to be the major sponsor.

I assume the market for these is not so much NEOM fans but rather McLaren fans.

As to why NEOM is sponsoring it, I think it’s a bit of Saudi boosterism or techwashing to help MBS move past the whole bone saw thing.

Apparently there’s another brand that describes its scents as “(rich durian & mellow cheese)”

I suspect a 194 dB fart would blow the person in half.

I can see it making sense, what with CPUs moving to integrated RAM, and probably CPU-integrated flash, to maximize speed. The business of RAM and flash drive upgrades will become a very large but shrinking retrocomputing niche probably served by small Chinese fabs.

They’ve written eight episodes.

It is 1992 and I am reading Internet posts complaining about Mac users

Does it have GPS so it can flash “WRONG HOUSE, FUCKWIT”

PORN site encrypts random nonce

Really unfortunate word in this context. (Not your fault of course.)

“And then after the apocalypse the techbro families died out because their children had heads too big to be born without a surgeon.”

To wash your cybertruck it’s important to use steel wool. Make sure it’s *mild *steel.

You could try to trick them into a divide by zero error, as a game.

The Nashville chud’s handle is even “rohmstuff”.

They wouldn’t be caught dead in Hemet.

He owns(?) a building in Forest City, Malaysia (or as he calls it: an island in an undisclosed location off the coast of Singapore)

Sounds like a houseboat. It’s a houseboat, isn’t it.

Wasn’t he one of those “hey techies move into my cultlike terrible coliving / working space / company town” people?

this is how one department head at Google gets more money for his compensation package out of the other bits of Google
