I got two weeks of uni left and afterwards, I’m thinking its time to take the plunge again. I haven’t used linux since I threw ubuntu lite or some shit on a cheap netbook 15 years ago. I remember it working pretty well and not having any major issues out of the box.

Then again, it’s not like I have any trouble with Windows now. My install is almost perfect for me with everything extraneous ripped out. However, it’s more of a moral/philosophical choice at this point to support FOSS and to claw back some of my digital privacy. I wish I could find a way to easily see what software I use will work directly and what I’ll need to find replacements for.

Fucking goddamn bullshit

100% agree on both counts

The ONLY money I spent during my entire time at uni has been on these stupid Cengage and Connect courses. I blame the teachers, more than anyone, for using these awful services. I also blame the Uni for not advertising that it would be required for the coursework. The teachers are either too lazy or too overworked to make their own materials or teach from an analogue book which doesn’t spoon-feed the lessons and grade things for them. It’s a shit system and nothing made me madder than a required class using these services.

For a few of them, I just lobbied the department to pay for it saying I wasn’t able to afford it, and they paid for my license or whatever.

I agree wholeheartedly, but this wasn’t funny even without censorship.

This is what we plan to do. Makes no sense to throw all that money away for a silly ceremony where you’re bound by what everyone else expects of you. We’d rather do something special for ourselves.

I thought this was a post about the Gamecube emulator. lol

The censorship has gone mad on Reddit. I was a user there before the whole Digg migration, and it’s been such a wonderful ride. It had to end at some point, though.

I’m just at a point where it’s genuinely impossible to have a conversation there without having your comments removed, the thread locked, or downvoted to oblivion for not joining in to whatever the masses are yapping about.

Less of a town square and more of a mob of idiots surrounded by bots.
