At press time, a contingent of church goers was forming outside the Vatican to protest the new flavor, claiming that, if anything, Jesus was lemon-lime.

Almost had me thinking this was something real.

Of course, it could all be another elaborate pump-and-dump scheme by Elon. It wouldn't put it past him.

Good old right wing "humor" (punching down on everyone else because they consider everyone else beneath them). We're all going to be seeing a lot of this type of "humor" (lynchings, book burning, singing about how wonderful being dictated to is) in the next 10 years or so.

I Love Linux (because it isn't Windows) (lemm.ee)

I just have to say, after having booted into Windows, that Linux is so much nicer than Windows when it comes to doing system "updates."

So, here I am, sitting in my chair for about 20 minutes looking at a mostly black screen and a highly dubious looking percentage number going up very slowly. It tells me that Windows is "updating" and that I should keep the computer turned on. Good thing I have the computer turned on or I wouldn't know that I shouldn't have it turned off, right?

Anyway, I start to think about how this experience goes in Linux. In my experience, I do "system" updates about once a month, and I can see each individual package being installed (if I glance away from my browser session, that is). In Windows, I have no choice but to sit here and wonder if the system will even work again.

Windows decides that it wants to update drivers, apparently (I honestly have no idea what it's doing, which is part of what pisses me off), because it reboots the computer. Then it reboots again. Then, eventually, everything goes back to the familiar Windows desktop. WTF?

How anyone could prefer Windows to Linux is truly a mystery to me.
