  • I’ll go ahead and be the bad taste in everyone’s mouth:

    Good fucking riddance. Blackstone is an explicitly evil company, and everyone working for them should be ashamed. It is not possible to be an executive at Blackstone and also be a good person, they are diametrically opposed ideals.

    If I believed the US justice system gave a single fuck about the evils that the rich committed, I would be more aghast by this… but I don’t, and I’m not.



  • And Linux isn’t minimal effort. It’s an operating system that demands more of you than does the commercial offerings from Microsoft and Apple. Thus, it serves as a dojo for understanding computers better. With a sensei who keeps demanding you figure problems out on your own in order to learn and level up.

    Counterpoint: most people don’t use Linux because the people that evangelize Linux talk about it like this.

    I don’t want to “level up,” I want to accomplish my tasks. I’m trying to get shit done, not train for a fucking tournament.
