I know plenty of adults who are really bad at money and paying bills.

I feel like the average video game player has really poor media and political literacy, but maybe it's just the ones who make noise online who fit that profile.

One of the guys at my old job submitted a PR with tests that basically just mocked everything, tested nothing. Like,

with patch("something.whatever", return_value=True):
  assert whatever(0) is True
  assert whatever(1) is True

Except for a few dozen lines, with names that made it look like they were doing useful.

He used AI to generate them, of course. Pretty useless.

One of the many things that's infuriating about this is that these people are so profoundly stupid, but they keep getting all the money and power. If there was any justice in the world, people like the decision makers in your stories would be living a very spartan life somewhere, reflecting on how they are so fucking senseless.

And yet people continue to worship these "job creators" and "visionaries".

Some people need an out-group to hate. That's it. Everything else is a justification for the good chemical feels they get for subjugating the outsiders.

Switched to Linux. Don't miss windows. Shit like this does not entice me.

Moved to Linux (popos on desktop, mint on ancient laptop). Been fine. Don't miss windows. Play games and browse the web without issue.

No.. no that's impossible... fuck. 14 years, huh? I remember it was 11/11/11 and there were ads for it on city buses, and I thought "wow i guess video games are mainstream now"

Thiel is a dangerous piece of trash and I'm disappointed he hasn't.. let's say... been beamed up like kirk.

When I was making money, I'd buy albums from bands I liked. Built up a nice library.

Some people buy albums

A friend of mine has an old macbook air. It still works, more or less, but the OS isn't getting any updates anymore, and updating to the latest OS seems dicey.

Has anyone had experience installing linux on an old macbook? From a quick internet search it looks like you can just make a bootable USB and have at it. Thinking mint because it's popular and my friend is a pretty basic user. The laptop will be mostly used for like youtube/netflix and basic web browsing.

Edit: a little extra context: I am moderately comfortable with Linux. I ran mint for a while on my desktop, and I've done software development for a job. I can install docker and start a python project fine, but I'd use a GUI for like partitioning a hard drive.
