This is absolute Reddit shit.

I finally looked up this guy after seeing his leftist griftosphere reply guy antics on Twitter before Musk burned that site to the ground and it turns out he has a design company in New York. I checked out the website and boy, it does not look like he's designed anything since the late 90s. No wonder he spends all his time posting gotchas on social media.

As a dual Australian and Canadian citizen, good. Fuck Gina Rinehart and fuck Danielle Smith.

I wonder if he ever read the 5th book, Mostly Harmless. In that book there's an aside which describes how the people of the planet Golgafrincham tricked all the useless members of their society (management consultants, etc) into thinking the planet was doomed and getting on a ship to escape the planet which they programmed to fly to another salary system and crash into one of the planets there. That part of the book always stuck with me, and more and more I wish there was a way we could do the same to Musk and his billionaire cronies.

Of course I don't think Musk has actually read any of the HHGTTG novels, especially not the 5th one so maybe there's still a chance?

The puppet's face is also based on Picardo's

It's been a long time since OnePlus could claim to be a budget brand. That ship sailed a long time ago.

Musk (assuming that's who you're referring to) was never funny. He was always a fucking loser with the level of humour of an edgy, dumb, tryhard teenager. Almost everything about him is a lie, he just managed to keep it under wraps while his PR machine painted him as a quirky genius.

Ok it's fake, never mind.

Did he really just openly plagiarise Dril's second best known tweet?

"...while vowing economic opportunity as a path to reconciliation."

I'm guessing this means making deals with first nations groups to grant corporations the right to strip mine natural resources without federal oversight while paying relatively tiny subsidies to indigenous owners.

Been running it for about 6 months now with no issues apart from a weird display issue when I go full screen in YouTube in Firefox on one display and the other display goes all white except for a couple of glitchy flickery areas, but I think that's more Wayland/plasma 6 related.

I will say that I've worked with the Linux command line for years now so I may be slightly more technically capable with it in general than a complete newbie but I think most other people here on Lemmy have a similar level of experience as me.

 

Regurgitator formed in Brisbane, Australia in the early 90's and released a couple of albums that have since gone on to considered classics, among many others.

Their output is extremely eclectic and all of their albums straddle a wide variety of genres, although their usual touchstones are punk, hip hop & 80's influenced electronic music.

A useful comparison in terms of their approach is Ween, as they'll often hit a genre so specifically that it verges into parody and their lyrics are often highly satirical.
