Heh. The “burn it to the ground” bit is in the critical script I never documented properly.
I didn’t leave anything undocumented on purpose, but my job is just actually hard, so there’s always something.
When it comes up, they find out - how good of a boss were they?
They can dial my personal number, leave a message, and wait to find out.
Sacrilege! Burn the person bringing a reasonable perspective to the flame war!
You’re not wrong.
As my hatred for snaps has removed Ubuntu from my install set, I’m finding myself quietly installing Fedora anywhere that Debian won’t do.
My preferences change with the wind, but Fedora is a fantastic default choice.
Yep. When it has the package I need, flatpak elevates Debian to the last distro I will ever need.
And when flatpak doesn’t have the package I need, there’s always Fedora.
(I know - I’m a meme for hating snaps that much. Lol.)
Xmen 2: Clone Wars and Bubsy
Gave me nostalgia whiplash, there.
My blood pressure goes up just looking at the Space Taxi loading screen. Space Taxi is why I don’t have any patience left to try Dark Souls.
It’s the future now. All restaurants are Taco Bell.
It’s the vape pen of the soda world!
They have my permission to use this, heh.
This is turning into a fun series.
Because I have my entire extensive library on steam, I’m kind of stuck with them. And while they are not abusing that presently, I’m fairly confident they will someday.
Yeah. I am confident that long term access to classic games is a torch only sufficiently carried by software pirates.
Don’t get me wrong, I adore things like the Atari 50th Anniversary collection, and what Evercade is doing with esoteric arcade titles. (And I delight in throwing money at them.)
But only a small fraction of the greatest games get that kind of loving licensed treatment.
For the rest of gaming history, software pirates are essential.
There’s been a lot of whistle blower “suicides”, lately.
For the official record, I definitely believe the official story in each case. And I always stay the hell away from third story windows.
Well what things can a group of adults really do that are both not lame and boring, and also not illegal
There’s some non-secret societies, like Rotary Clubs, that try to do some volunteering, professional networking, and charity work together.
Also, for the under 70 crowd, there’s Maker spaces.
Nice.
My version is not as good, but may amuse you as thanks for sharing your story.
I once started a joke secret society in an MMO, only to be forgotten within a day, and then (gleefully) be reinducted a couple days later by a total stranger as a new member.
The induction nonsense had changed enough within that couple of days that I think I made a pretty convincing new recruit.
Though I think I caused some confusion when I changed outfits - I forgot that I had not yet “been told” the secret dress code. Oops. I think everyone then realized something was up, but chalked it up to secret society intrigues.
Just time for another bath!
I’m MajorHavoc. I’m a bit too open with my opinions here to share my real name.
I manage and mentor programmers for a living.
I’m proficient in dozens of programming languages, but my first programming language was Commodore BASIC.
Today, I still code in variations of BASIC for fun and nostalgia.
If you’re looking for some search terms, you’re looking for the Unix philosophy, and Unix pipelines and command line patterns.
Sweet. I’ll check it out. Thanks!
Of course it’s the government’s responsibility. It’s impractical as a grass roots effort. What happens when multiple citizens accidentally engage with the same CEO? Sounds messy and awkward.
It seems like it could be simpler to exercise government to enforce fair standards and health care access.
Of course, I shouldn’t jump to the conclusion that the remaining living healthcare CEOs will choose to cooperate with the due process of law, rather than live slightly more egregiously hedonisticly in fear for their lives.

Edit: Was I typing into mute? Oh well. I don’t remember what I said, but I remember it was brilliant and hilarious.
