naaaaaah… upstanding corporate global citizens such as google and adobe? no, never. no chance in hell. they’d never collude to do such an evil thing…

my first ‘distro’ was slackware, on floppy disks. then debian or a flavour of, mainly, ever since. i’ve never really strayed too far from debian and apt over the years but i have tried most everything.

possible. theirs might just become ‘third party’ cookies.

but i think they’re confident that they will not have to give up anything tangible in the current proceedings. toss a little more money into the diaper pail, case is mysteriously dropped or government remedy neutered to a “try not to do that again”.

muskrat still has that hallucination that everybody’s gonna be riding around in fully-autonomous self-driving teslas, right? so that’d mean this case will be ‘‘allowed’’ to proceed.

of course they did. free insider trading tips was one of the free gifts with purchase of a president.

the ability to produce a never-ending supply of highly-contagious stupid is donvict’s superpower.

mitre also has some prime real estate adjacent to mclean metro at tysons east. probably enough for a golf course/country club if you razed everything and took the adjacent park lands.

2000 is when they started the serp ads. that wasn’t ‘enough’ so they started selling ads on other sites launching adsense in 2003, which fueled their ipo 14 months later.

one summer back in ‘the day’ i was staying at a house that had a snes. guess what the one and only game we played all that summer was.

higher prices lead to lower sales volume. yea, that’s normally how it works. but amazon’s cut is based on price. if prices go up, so does what they earnsteal from each marketplace sale–they’ll make more from less business.

“tada.wav” as the startup sound for win3 was the best.

“hey lookie here, i actually booted up without a config.sys error… tada!!!”

where ‘both sides’ probably means the maga nutcases and the more extreme farther-to-the-right nutcases.

most expensive-to-develop video game?
(provided it all actually goes towards that)

alternatively: “we haven’t figured out how to make ridiculous profits off this shit”

it’s probably gonna be plasma6 by a hair over cinnamon on a rolling distribution. as much as people shit on manjaro here and on that other site, it has never broke on me–whether i update constantly or let it go 2-3 months between them.

but if the de and the underlying os are magically compatible, and those and programs kept up to date, never obsolete, and new ones appear for it as needed or desired… then sorry, it won’t be linux… i’m going back to something like 95osr2, 98se or w2k.

samsung’s printer business was acquiredextinguished by the devilhp in 2017

if you’ve not ever updated the firmware of the printer, it might just be a faulty third-party cartridge. try another.

if the one you’re having difficulty with was a recent purchase, ask the vendor for a swap. the good ones will happily send another.

drivesavers, gillware, and ontrack. those are the ones i refer people to. expect a cost of $700-1000 or higher.

tenfold? imagine if an adversary had free and unfettered access to every network those morons have touched…

oh. right. the adversary is already there.
