  • I use it because 22 years ago it was more appealing than redhat or Mandrake. It forced me to learn more about Linux because I had to resolve almost everything myself than any other distro. I was using before it had a package manager and honestly after the dependency hell of rpms in 2000s it just seemed more problematic to use one that resolved dependencies than not. Usually I used to and sometimes still use it for a nice base to compile everything on. I dunno. It’s my Linux equivalent to my first car that I loved.










  • This guy would be three steps ahead of the PR. Dude publicly mocked a guy in a wheelchair who also happened to have a 100 million dollar clause if he was fired, which he was, publicly, on Twitter while having his HIPAA information released by his CEO because he thought he was malingering.

    What PR firm could get ahead of that ONE day, let alone so many others of that level of holy shit? Not one that wants to stay profitable since he’s supposedly stiffing other companies they do business with.






  • Conversely, why not if they can track my online activity, social media presence, shopping and voting habits. I mean they listen to conversations I’m having to make recommendations for ads so why not read my email too? Shit, they probably have enough information to just guess what’s there based off like 7 pieces of data. Or maybe they agree they won’t but you’ll use a browser that’ll read it as you do.

    That said if you’re not paying for your email or anything else, you’re the product and arguably letting businesses read your email is the tradeoff, which is crazy that we ever collectively agreed to that for so long.
