One of my professors in college demanded the class turn in a video production assignment as DVDs.

… This was in 2018

I was the only one in the class who even had a DVD burner (… Because I’d used it some years prior for PS2 games piracy and it was still in my storage box)

So the class bought a spindle of DVDs and I spent an afternoon burning everyone’s assignments to DVDs.

No idea what would have happened if they didn’t have a pet ultranerd like me. Like, did teach expect 'em to go and buy a USB DVD burner just for that?

Yes – And it sucks balls.

Some people in a different department of the company do work with Linux. And some get Macs.

Latin America, South and East Asia, and the natives within America itself watching White People finally realise America are the bad guys:

Adorable little rascal.

~/Brojetos (anything relating to making stuff, writing, drawing, video creation, programming, etc., professional or personal)

~/temp (a non-hidden temp folder with a script that wipes it when the PC shuts down or reboots, used for downloads and such to prevent the “downloads folder is an abomination” problem that plagues any computer after a while of usage)

~/AppsGames (appimages, applications compiled from source and not installed to system, personal use scripts, wineprefixes, non-steam games)

aaaand ~/OtherAminals (for stuff I want to keep but have no idea where else to place)

Give the CIA time.

That would be pretty neat, which means it won’t happen.

I’m mostly just quoting a video game that was eerily predictive, is all.

Man

Of all dystopias why is Deus Ex becoming true?

This has shades of a conversation you can have in that game’s Hong Kong where a bartender tells JC something to the effect of “China’s ‘repression’ has ironically preserved people’s ability to keep on like, LIVING. Whereas the United States with all its freedom was carved up and eaten by megacorps”

Something tells me you don’t really understand south american geography

It’s closer for the Americans to sail on down to Venezuela than for the Argentinians to do anything.

… Granted, there’s like a dozen south american countries the gringos still have a chance to fuck up.

BRICS is trying to offer us third worlders an alternative to eternally swallowing the United States’ boots, you mean.

I suck arse at typing on the Deck. :(

I will say one thing though:

It does feel like this is entirely unsurprising.

Israel have been doing everything in their power to prove they are straight up cartoon villains

And as for Thunberg? Much as as I admire her, it was a matter of time before her speaking truth to power resulted in something like this. If it hadn’t been Israel it would have been the Putin or Trump regimes.

But who knows, maybe now that it’s a white chick getting warcrimed, the bulk of first worlders might maybe possibly start giving a shit about this.

You ever see a person deepthroat a boot?

Ah yes. The great tyranny of checks notes digital payment processing

You know, we already have this in Brazil. The countryside has not, in fact, been burninated. In fact, last I checked we’d been schooling the first worlders on how to actually handle fascists.

Oh and we never had to bend the knee to MasterCard’s forced purity rules because our digital payment system isn’t privatised unlike yall’s.

You need to lay off the shrooms, mate. They’re fucking with your mind.

I mean

It kind of is a wonder anything is standing.

It’s not

But when you have an anxiety disorder paired with a lifetime of observed terribleness from the world, it can feel like it is.

So you’ll excuse me if I’m holding the celebration in fear of the other shoe that might not even drop.

Bolsonaro off to the slammer

Things have been going pretty well. Can’t wait for it all to go to hell again
