I absolutely saw the man here outside London proper.

Don't call them that. They're just assholes with too much money.

I call them the billionaire class. It has the added bonus that it makes it painfully obvious to suburbanites that they aren't part of the club.

Prosecuted? Yes. Convicted? No.

I mean yes, absolutely. Figured that one out with weed lol. But that doesn't mean I haven't hurt people I care about or said some truly ghoulish things. It won't matter after I've died but that hasn't happened yet :)

Since my life has no meaning, my life means whatever I want it to mean, and that paradoxically gives my life a lot of meaning.

I was raised in a deeply conservative catholic home and as a result was super racist and homophobic. I ditched the religion and grew a lot as a person, and I'm proud of that growth but damn it feels bad that I was ever that person. I'm also fortunate to not be extremely autistic and I was able to get a handle on my emotional outbursts (for the most part) and sort of bring myself under control. I can't help but wonder what life might have been like if I was able to develop like a normal person sometimes. I try not to dwell on it, but it feel like I'm 10 years behind my peers emotionally.

Working from home? So lazy!

That's not a bad idea but I already have one and I don't want to change it.

""Milhouse is not a meme" is a meme" is a meme.

Well honestly I have never been able to acquire shrooms, but I could write a book about all the horrible shameful shit I've done in my life without realizing it at the time. It keeps me up at night sometimes.

Too bad it isn't a real tweet.

I don't really have any experience with enterprise Ubuntu (we use RHEL at work and I'm not a sysadmin anyway) but its kind of hard to blame that all on Canonical since they inherited it from debian.

I mean, I'm sure you could change the package format that your nascent distro uses, but at that point you might as well make a completely new, unforked distro since you're basically rewriting the entire system.

There's nothing bad about Ubuntu, but Canonical rips a fat line and says, "I'm going to make my own display server, with black jack, and hookers!" Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, innovation is good and all, but they release a steaming pile of crap that doesn't really integrate well into the rest of the Linux ecosystem. They spend years telling everyone that their display server is the best thing ever and no they won't offer any alternatives or integrate it into any of your systems thank you very much.

Then 10 years later they unceremoniously dump it in favor for whatever everyone else has been using.

I just wish they would funnel all that innovation upstream instead so everyone benefitted instead of just Canonicals bottom line.
