She is a patriot. Col Susannah Meyers deserves a medal, and I’m sure she would do 10,000x better as VP than the jerk we have now.

Vance seems smart, and obviously he married outside his “race” so somewhat open-minded. Which means he is acting out of pure conscienceless ambition. IMO worse than Trump, who is an evil idiot.

You mean you aren’t going to do anything.

My MAGA friends on Facebook are yelling about “buying opportunities”.

Where is that buying money coming from? I got none myself.

I’m not trying to be like some HOLY MOUNTAIN that no unclean things can ever touch.

I’m just trying to keep myself free. I’ll use people’s stuff. If that starts becoming bondage, I’m out

I feel like a good illustration would be a bicycle.

1. My bicycle works fine, a little slow, but it beats walking, and requires little to no outside resources or upkeep.
2. My neighbor, Joe Microsoft, slaps an 80cc motor on my bike. It’s a lot faster, and less work for me, and Joe keeps it full of gas and tuned up, and fixes it when it breaks.
3. I need Joe now to support my biking. I no longer have the resources to do it at this level, but Joe does.

Is that about right? Are we selling open source for speed and convenience?

Bill Gates stated: “One thing we have got to change in our strategy – allowing Office documents to be rendered very well by other people’s browsers is one of the most destructive things we could do to the company. We have to stop putting any effort into this and make sure that Office documents very well depend on proprietary IE capabilities. Anything else is suicide for our platform. This is a case where Office has to avoid doing something to destroy Windows.”

That Wikipedia is a gold mine of evil.

What are we, North Korea? We can’t accept information from certain countries? I can understand being wary of state-sponsored information terrorism, but “Hey, here’s a Cuban road? A good place for a guava and cheese pastry?”

Come on. This was really the trigger?

I’m retired and doing hobby projects in Python and java, so I get choices (including not playing) but wtf, big tech figured out how to take over open source?

That’s particularly evil.

Ding ding ding ding ding!

Like, just BRAND NEW, leaning baby programmer!

Nope, not that. Haven’t earned the name ‘programmer’ at all.

Just a guy who is starting to learn and is probably going to abandon learning but is going to try anyway and is trying not to fuck up in the beginning! Guy.

Plus I’m 63. So learning anything at all is like nailing boards to sand.

Maybe I learned it, but that was last week. Can’t expect me to remember last week shit.

So wait.

GitHub is Microsoft?

EDIT: Okay, fuck that. I was just getting all set up there but not now.

I am trying to decide between PyCharm and VS Code for my Python IDE. I was leaning toward VS Code, but they’re Microsoft too, aren’t they?

BUY THE DIP!

I BELIEVE DIGG IS VERY INEXPENSIVE AS WELL!

Hold it. There a phone number?

I literally looked it up.

Jew Cards?

• King David
• Queen Esther
• Jackie Mason
• “Ace” Greenberg (ex-head of Bear Stearns)

I’ll show myself the door.
