I finally looked up this guy after seeing his leftist griftosphere reply guy antics on Twitter before Musk burned that site to the ground and it turns out he has a design company in New York. I checked out the website and boy, it does not look like he’s designed anything since the late 90s. No wonder he spends all his time posting gotchas on social media.

This is from the guy whose rocket company is being investigated by the EPA for polluting local water sources and destroying the habitat of endangered species.

As a dual Australian and Canadian citizen, good. Fuck Gina Rinehart and fuck Danielle Smith.

I wonder if he ever read the 5th book, Mostly Harmless. In that book there’s an aside which describes how the people of the planet Golgafrincham tricked all the useless members of their society (management consultants, etc) into thinking the planet was doomed and getting on a ship to escape the planet which they programmed to fly to another salary system and crash into one of the planets there. That part of the book always stuck with me, and more and more I wish there was a way we could do the same to Musk and his billionaire cronies.

Of course I don’t think Musk has actually read any of the HHGTTG novels, especially not the 5th one so maybe there’s still a chance?

The puppet’s face is also based on Picardo’s

Wait til you see the sequel

Wait, does this mean she actually was a teenager in Blue Velvet? I always kind if assumed she was a 20-something playing a teenager in that movie.

It’s been a long time since OnePlus could claim to be a budget brand. That ship sailed a long time ago.

This is like a real life Wagner post

Ok it’s fake, never mind.

Did he really just openly plagiarise Dril’s second best known tweet?

“…while vowing economic opportunity as a path to reconciliation.”

I’m guessing this means making deals with first nations groups to grant corporations the right to strip mine natural resources without federal oversight while paying relatively tiny subsidies to indigenous owners.

Been running it for about 6 months now with no issues apart from a weird display issue when I go full screen in YouTube in Firefox on one display and the other display goes all white except for a couple of glitchy flickery areas, but I think that’s more Wayland/plasma 6 related.

I will say that I’ve worked with the Linux command line for years now so I may be slightly more technically capable with it in general than a complete newbie but I think most other people here on Lemmy have a similar level of experience as me.

Aussies: Hold my Foster’s, mate…

Errrrr…who’s gonna tell them?

The Guys podcast has a pretty fun episode about this.

Yeah, fair enough. I’m certainly no expert

I was in coal harbour one day last year and spent a while watching one of the sea planes taxi and take off.

At one point it had started gaining speed to take off but had to cancel at the last minute because someone in a kayak drifted in front of it so it turned around and had to do the whole thing again. There were tons of other craft out on the water too, and I found it kind of crazy that it’s being used as an airport considering how busy and chaotic it seems to be.

Oh, that’s cool then. I’ll have to go back and take a look as I hardly use the app.

I guess if the new company fucks it up (which lets face it, is a given) at least you get to keep the music you’ve already bought which is more than you can say for Spotify.

I like what Bandcamp does, but I don’t necessarily want to have to download every song/album I buy off there and store it on my phone, or open the app and manually select a song or album one at a time to listen to.

I wish there was a way to build playlists, or even a full featured streaming service similar to what Spotify offers that would pay artists a respectable cut for streaming but not necessarily purchasing albums.

It would be nice to have that option but I suppose there’s probably arguments against it, I’m not really that familiar with all the pros and cons from the artists’ perspective. Even just a song radio type option like Spotify has would be great, because I do find a fair bit of new music that way.

Also, in case people aren’t aware, Spotify was sold to Epic games a few years ago, and they sold it on to a music licensing company who then laid off 16% of Bandcamp’s employees. So I’m not sure how much longer it’s going to be a good place for indie musicians.I guess we’ll see though.
