I had to boot my Windows 10 partition up yesterday. It made me click through fucking six ads for Microsoft 365 and win11 and then said “you’re done!” with a little cartoon of an athlete with a trophy as if just booting the OS was a challenge that I overcame.

GimPhotoshop.

No FiM++?

Funny that you never hear anything from the quiet vegans.

Trust me, there’s someone just starting out, and you got them 90% of the way there, and they will humbly submit a fix for your code with zero judgement.

That someone is me, because I have no idea what I’m doing.

Excuse me. I’ve almost bricked several machines with Ubuntu.

That happens from time to time. Hell, I’ve even had that happen two weeks ago with Newegg for a rare cable I needed.

Still though, on the whole, you can get in touch with some real brick and mortar style sellers, and often times it’s cheaper. I saved like $20 on a pack of water filters for my fridge recently.

Use eBay.

I needed 7/16" ink ribbon for my antique Burroughs adding machine. Bought it on eBay. Order was fulfilled by Ribbons Unlimited, a small business that just sells ink ribbons for typewriters. Took a week to get it, but I wasn’t in that much of a hurry.

Because as the wikipedia quote illustrates, the uncanny feeling of the matrix is a metaphor for gender dysphoria. Taking the red pill helps you transition to your true self.

So if we strictly apply that to Switch, the Matrix assigned them as female when their true identity is male.

That kind of runs counter to the idea that the rest of the metaphor though.

Years after the release of The Matrix, both of the Wachowskis came out as transgender women.[183] The red pill has been likened to red estrogen pills.[184] Morpheus’s description of the Matrix creating a sense that something is fundamentally wrong, “like a splinter in your mind”, has been likened to gender dysphoria.[184] In the original script, Switch was a woman in the Matrix and a man in the real world, but this idea was removed.[185]

Can someone explain what the joke?

I don’t have a command key. I don’t use a mac.

You’re getting downvotes because Ctrl+C doesn’t work in the terminal. That sends the kill command to the currently running application. You need the shift to tell the terminal program that you’re trying to copy.

Shit is usually a pain in the ass. The challenge is divining how much of a pain in the ass something has to be that someone else might have made a solution for it.

I didn’t know you could ctrl+shift+c to copy in the terminal until a month ago when my linux n00b wife said "there has to be a better way to do this. I’ve been right clicking to copy for 10 years.
