When you endorse censorship before you have power, the powerful continue to speak and you get censored. This shouldnโt be as hard to grasp as it apparently is. https://t.co/jV7QtVQg9p

Exactly what I said was gonna happen is happening, and people are acting all surprised.
Never having been one to shy away from saying I told you so: I told you so.
Indeed. More fake “progressive” protection from harm sophistry, when really all it amounts to is corporate-friendly avoidance of liability. Attempt to put human nature in abeyance all you want to — it will never work. But corporations are more than happy to have a ready excuse to fire you. “Oh, we saw you ‘fraternizing’ with Mark, you’re outta here.”
Progressives really dig their own graves, don’t they?
You’ve got this!!!
I went from 0 to 11 in 31 days.
Goal was 10.Started out with assisted pull-ups on a machine.
Set the goal: Oct. 1.
First unassisted pull-up: Oct 9.
11 pull-ups: Oct. 31. pic.twitter.com/ZEjlElFZ0Lโ Tim (@TimBiden) November 4, 2019
There were no pull-ups done in that video. Sorry. When you only go halfway down, it’s more than twice as easy. Try full-hang and see how many you can do.
Not that he’s doing nothing, but I can do 14 full-hang overhand pull-ups, and I could probably do 40+ of those half ones. Do a full pull-up and come back to me.
My favorite was tests results of multi-pass overwriting software against SSDs. The controller would see multiple writes to the same location/block in the queue and then only apply the last one. Effectively making the multi pass overwrite to be just one pass https://t.co/6nBGByJyLG

Aye. Multi-pass overwrite DOES NOT work on SSDs. This is why the DoD and other high-security places mandate SSDs be destroyed if they contained top secret or secret data, as they cannot be re-used. The data on an SSD is impossible to delete reliably. Even vendors who claim to have a secure delete capability probably don’t.
Any browser or search engine that doesn’t show me the URL is like a fucking map with no labels. Totally. Fucking. Worthless.
I can’t believe people accept this, and tell me (parroting Google propaganda like someone with a Ceti eel worming into their brain) that it’s for my own good. Sure, it’s for my own good some shithead at Google controlling what I can see and know.
Fuck all ya’ll.

This is part of a now-massive propaganda operation in place to influence society, largely to benefit the plutocrats. If you think it has a thing at all to do with climate change, you are a huge and thoughtless numpty. It’s as much about climate change as a vampire slurping blood is about helping out the Red Cross.
boomers are absolutely out of control man. i was *in* the process of picking up dog shit when an old man crossed the street, got in my face and said โARE YOU GONNA PICK THAT UP??โ. remember that thing i said about how i was going to jail for assault at some point?

I hear you. The main reason I could never work fast food or retail is the first time some mook put a hand on me or threatened me, I’d lay them out so hard you’d have to ship a cardiac defib machine to the afterlife to have any hope of bringing them back.
Being at work wouldn’t make me tolerate that any more than I already do, which is not at all, ever.
Something people in non-enterprise businesses need to understand:
If you plug in a server in a data center you run, install+configure an OS, add DNS entries for it, install an application, and support the users โ you have experience across five different enterprise job positions.— SwiftOnSecurity (@SwiftOnSecurity) November 3, 2019
And according to many people, if you do it in a small company, you have no experience at all! I’ve worked in large, medium and small companies, and at least in IT I can tell you it’s much, much easier working in a large company.
A medium-sized company is easier, too, but there you get noticed more and generally have more responsibilities.
A small company is the hardest of all, though, because often it’s just you. Where I work now if I can’t figure a problem out, guess who will? Fucking no one, that’s who. At large and medium companies there are often entire teams I can ask when I run into a barrier or just can’t make progress on a problem. But as I said, at a small place I have 20 different roles and I have to be good at every single one of them.
At large companies, I’ve had 1 or 2 roles and honestly I didn’t have to be good at them to succeed. It’s very weird to me, then, when someone tells me that experience at small companies is worth less or nothing because that’s exactly the opposite of the truth.
Very often I read someone arguing that the government should do something (eg censorship) where in the writer's imagination "the government" seems to mean "an angel of perfect judgement that agrees with me on everything". https://t.co/T2fltEK8di

So true. Moronic progressives never seem to understand that the same tools they wield against hateful people (most often, people they just dislike) are going to be wielded against them, but even harder.
I guess it was inevitable that Mozilla became a scam, as the entire economy is moving that direction. It’s hard to find any organization that makes more than $100 million that isn’t a scam, after all. It’s just disappointing and sad. The only consolation is that they will fail, and I will revel in their failure.
I know it might sound strange, but still one of my proudest moments is getting shadow-banned from Reddit for stating calmly 100% true things about Mozilla and Firefox. Not just shadow-banned from the /r/firefox sub-reddit, but all of Reddit. That was great, because it really clarified what Mozilla was all about.
They really don’t want any criticism, especially if it’s well-researched and true.
This is classic, by the way, in regards to Mozilla’s sliminess:
“Mozilla’s new addon blocking process literally starts with a section called Security Over Choice, which was not in the old one.”
What a bunch of waste-of-breath fucking dipshits. I will book my airline ticket to piss on their front door the very day they cease operations.
I took networking classes last year. Can confirm that basically 80% of the students weren’t (and probably still aren’t) able to create a simple user account from a Linux terminal. https://t.co/HDH5Llnmlb

This isn’t, generally, a networking skill so that’s not too surprising. I know tons of networking people who have never used Linux.
However, the general point is taken and I agree.
useradd usernamehere is how you add a user at the CLI in Linux, by the way. There are a whole assload of switches you can use, too, if you are so inclined. man useradd will tell you what they are.
In a networking class, it’s much more likely you’d need to add a user to a Cisco device however, so for that you’d do something like:
username funkyrabbit privilege 15 secret mydamnpassword
Which would be far more relevant to know than the above Linux plaint and it’s dissimilar enough that knowing how to do it in Linux tells you nearly nothing relevant.

Yes it is. The droolers have conquered all, and there is no escape.
James Carville is against doing anything about student debt. Carville went to LSU in 1965. The blogger couldn’t find LSU tuition more recent than 2003, but I managed to find it going back to 1967 for that school.
And, check this out, tuition in 1967 was $25 dollars per semester. That’s $203 per semester in today’s dollars. In other words, shit-for-brains Carville went to LSU when it was basically free.
LSU tuition back to 1967:
