Sarcastic bitch with a wine problem

I bet this was some sort of gen AI mishap: “translate this campaign text to Latin”, because of course Latinos speak Latin, and it’s called Latin America too!

Although this would be twice as hilarious if they hired a translator who just went “🤷 ah well, money is money”

I’ve only done it the “manual” way but I don’t think the script was even a thing the last time I installed Arch, which must have been close to 15 years ago now.

Oh it’s not quite as “from scratch” as some people make it out to be. It definitely can be more work than most distros, but mostly it’s pretty straightforward and you generally just follow some wiki guide or another when picking “components” to install and I think nowadays you can use prebuilt binaries too (I haven’t used Arch in a good while.) There’s really not all that many moving parts, most of them are sort of a package deal – if you want to use X, you have to install Y and Z. It really is more like building a PC from parts.

Now, if you actually want to build a Linux system from scratch, there’s the very surprisingly named Linux From Scratch project

Academics, think tanks and magazines are buzzing with conversations about how to undo the damage wrought by half a century of misguided economic policies. On the right, that debate has already spilled out into the public view.

Well, if vocally campaigning to make shit much worse qualifies as “spilled out into the public view”, then yeah I guess it has

I suppose they meant that it slows down their internet, not the internet

I thought he’d understood why it was better for him to drop out of the race, but I guess that was overly optimistic of me

I’d be a bit nervous about those rockets

I’m surprised I haven’t seen any “trump for Harris” generated images yet in this thread.

It’d mean having to give money to Musk

I doubt he’s that open-minded. He’s one bottle of whiskey away from suggesting concentration camps for minorities and “woke” people
