Television... Radio... Newspapers... You can get disinformation and propaganda from wherever you want, really.

It might be in reference to Mirai Sentai Timeranger, but the costume doesn't seem right and the katakana is just Mirai Good, so... idk.

I ended up being quite ok teaching over zoom, but I'm young(ish) and treat it like a streamer. Utilize chat, especially.

I'll still admit that good professors read the room to stay engaging though; doing so without cameras, it's more up to your imagination.

I'm a little curious if this helps or hurts. Collins tries to pass herself off as the most moderate of Republicans, so it could chill her usual base... but, she also is disliked by MAGA folk, so this might give them marching orders.

My guess is it's a net negative because she's already done her homework and knows she needs to position herself a moderate to win Maine... especially if Platner struggles with them as I think he might.

That's ... Literally called Nitro Circus?

We really are doing the whole Bread and Circuses thing now literally, huh?

I've noticed some installers have at least a voting system (e.g. Octopi) which helps... slightly. At least in knowing what the right package name probably is. Crowd source reviewing is probably the only option for such a vast and open system, even if it can be gamed sometimes.

I was thinking that too, like downloading random .exes and complaining your Windows got a virus. At least now a days, Windows .exes have a signing process that warn you, but that's just like using non-AUR sources; they're verified.

But we like Linux because it doesn't give you a big scary full screen warning every time you try to open something... so IDK. If that's what you need to keep you from installing malware, get off Arch.

Apparently, yeah. And somehow a more accurate source of news than CBS now. Lol

Not jealous, but am curious if we were to shoot the guy, if all the money comes pouring out like rings out of Sonic.

Yeah, I did a short dive into his whole deal even before this whole situation. I think he's probably just around $1B, because he went from comedian and writer to investor. I mean, he owns part of BuzzFeed, even.

And yeah. It is weird that he's done a fair amount for black causes, but somehow he's willing to put up with CBS? There's always a contradiction when you have money but do things for community. Though I personally just always felt the was off, the same way I felt about Jay Leno.

We've known that for decades... that was the whole point of pushing to get rid of spanking in the 90s; kids model that behavior.

Not quite, it's a guy who bought the slot for his own show, same guy you end up seeing super late at night with Comics Unleashed. He's a weird dude.
