Eh, Rockefeller is traditionally considered the first US billionaire, which precedes the creation of Batman by a bit of time. It is wild that we’ve gone from becoming a billionaire being a first to commonplace in 100 years.

“Just a millionaire” isn’t just small potatoes, it’s genuinely suggested to have a couple million in assets in the US to be able to survive old age comfortably. Like bare minimum to be comfortable and not in a shitty home where you’re possibly suffering elder abuse and possibly separated from your wife/husband/loved ones.

So many of us are so so so fucked. We need you more than ever, Batman.

The IRS continues to be Batman’s most feared opponent. They know where the Batcave is.

This is disinformation: Everybody knows Mayor Adam West lived in and ruled over Quahog, Rhode Island with an iron fist until he died.

Being an actor is a wimpy thing if you think about it.

If you visit the forum page for the popular Linux Journal, dedicated to the open-source operating system Linux, you could be fingerprinted regardless of where you live because the XKeystore source code designates the Linux Journal as an “extremist forum.”

I guess they really were on to something.

Steve Buscemi as Starscream

It’s really more like Remote Desktop+. It has some additional “features” (slight retch) on top of traditional Remote Desktop features.

Let’s wait and see if it’s actually more secure than traditional Remote Desktop.

(and I’d still rather use Wine)

In a world that loves to tout “efficiency” sprawling GUIs and mouse-click-everything has drastically reduced efficiency when a keyboard + shortcuts + macros are far more efficient.

The further we stray from the CLI the further we stray from God. CLI-nliness is next to Godliness.

To be fair to the Open Source community, Canonical is a private company, and so it’s not really a shocker that they keep promoting bullshit tied to their own ecosystem. Especially with someone like Mark Shuttleworth involved, he was one of the early rich out of touch space tourists, long before Bezos looked like an idiot coming back from space. The profit motive always infects everything it touches.

Reading Ed Zitron’s coverage of the Google antitrust cases is pretty eye opening.

Mostly because it says basically what you just said: we’ve already reached pretty much peak efficiency in these forms, and since they can’t bleed out more money via “efficiency” they’re now leaning towards “How many customers can I piss off while increasing ad interactions by 1%?” As Zitron points out, they’re literally chasing tiny percentage points of growth through “how many people can we piss off and still grow?” instead of offering anything new and useful. It’s just “we’re entrenched, so why would we try anything risky at all ever?” all the way down.

Why did this happen?

The cynical but probably truer than we’d like to admit answer is “middle managers who bring nothing to the table but need to ‘make big changes’ to justify that promotion they’ve been chasing.”

Those moments when you can’t decide if someone’s username means they’re a science nerd or a Venture Bros. fan.

Me_irl:

Are you even a real hacker if your screensaver isn’t the cascading Matrix code?

Taking Cybersecurity classes after watching Mr. Robot:

That won’t push me to use yt-dlp to just download the fucking video and watch it locally or anything, completely giving up on using their shitty fucking site. VLC has no ads on pause.

It’s called Hitman.

There’s also a series of science-based, 100% hitman simulator video games of the same name.

How easy or hard is it to hire a Hitman?

That’s the man right there, Officer.

Well done.

because women approach him and treat THEMSELVES as sex objects.

Maybe it’s the victim blaming…
