mango is both retarded, and unrelatedly correct.

dude, I’m literally begging you to understand nothing I’ve said is “my idea”, but how things actually are outside of your house.

that makes it worse.

A European who acts like they’ve never left the usa.

lol. no.

and you’ve never left the usa.

lol. no.

Except for Dave. Someone should say something to him.

There are more cashless options than using banks.

In some countries you can use phones (and phone credit, more or less) as your payment option. Doesn’t even have to be a smart phone, though that makes it easier.

Beggers on the street with QR codes printed out. Or their phone number on cardboard.

And in other countries, you can use the local equivalent of the Uber app instead of a bank account.

Cashless is good. Safer for the homeless (harder to rob) and still easy to give money to them.

that’s what I don’t get. OP posts how they specifically aren’t the same and then goes on like he didn’t just write that.

while you’re doing God’s work, to also remind people that the “bypass paywall clean” browser extension exists, and works on a lot of websites.

SatanMCF got a -185 vote once, and I presume that wasn’t its bottom. (he’s against OHS)

build number (version) of Firefox, which is the software in question.

“Galaxy S21” is the model name for a physical Samsung phone, which isn’t relevant to the topic.

Lego star wars later this year.

SMCF has some pretty messed up takes. Like, how he is actively against occupational health and safety?

okay! 👍😄

oh no! I had it coming! I got called nasty names because it’s what I deserved and now my entire self worth is shattered!

😂 fuck me, you’re pathetic. 🤦‍♂️

“I use Linux as my operating system,” I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. “Actually”, he says with a grin, "Linux is just the kernel. You use GNU+Linux!’ I don’t miss a beat and reply with a smirk, “I use Alpine, a distro that doesn’t include the GNU Coreutils, or any other GNU code. It’s Linux, but it’s not GNU+Linux.” The smile quickly drops from the man’s face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams “I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT’S STILL GNU!” Coolly, I reply “If windows were compiled with GCC, would that make it GNU?” I interrupt his response with “-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even if you were correct, you won’t be for long.” With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man’s life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I’ve womansplained him to death. Here is a quick text about GNU/Linux:

"I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!"

Understood? No? Here then:

“I installed Linux and the feeling of freedom and privacy hit me so hard that I immediately began committing crimes, knowing that the FBI could never track me. Piracy, sexual assault, trademark infringement, petty larceny, tax fraud, you name it. I also own several fully automatic firearms even though I live in the state of California, but it doesn’t matter. Ever since I removed Windows 10 from my computer and replaced it with Arch Linux, and began using a PinePhone as my daily driver phone, police can’t even stop me in traffic. Windows may have a lot of video games, but the benefits of Linux should not be understated.”

that’s the wrong kind of Weird Al :(

I prefer Frank’s 2000" TV.

those are my favourite kinds of books!
