When you think about it, framework makes the perfect work laptop.

Why?

They are too overpriced to buy for personal use, but a company doesn't care and will write it off in five years, at which point you can buy it for basically nothing, order a new mainboard, polish it up a little and you have yourself a brand new high end laptop for under a thousand. The system does not account for actually repairable electronics :)

Feels like my taxes used to buy a lot more civilization back in the day.

That's not Windows, that's Oracle Solaris right there.

With gnome feeling dated in terms of design, Ubuntu has that early Passat energy imo lmao. Very round and generic, will probably get you where you want to go but the ride will be boring.

Psychotherapists are conceptually like if your car broke down constantly and every mechanic told you they don't know what's wrong so you went to get a degree in mechanical engineering so you can do it yourself. It didn't help, but you still have the degree now so might as well put it to use and help people with actually solvable problems lol.

It's really strange how in-browser onedrive will sometimes prompt you with a "Please sign in!", with two buttons, sign in, and ignore/later or something. And then you click that and it keeps being signed in. Lol, lmao even. Code written by absolute tic tacs. Am I fucking signed in or not?!

Given how many places here in Europe have had several names throughout history depending on who occupied the territory at the time, and that country usually still calling that place that today regardless of what it's officially called today by its current occupier, the answer is that everyone can do whatever they want. Language differences mean you often have to translate the name anyway.

Like, Mexico City is about as wrong as Gulf of America from a Mexican perspective, it's not exactly labelled Ciudad de Mexico is it.

Along a similar line, guy makes a global surveillance company and calls it Palantir, apparently oblivious to how much of a comic book villain he looks like. Thiel looks at Sauron like "that's so meee".

Well it's different when you're selling drugs

In a fascistic enough world where this would matter, people who abstain from the system are automatically flagged to be shot too, just fyi. You gotta also fill the normie services with conformist content to not become a detected anomaly if you really want to do it properly.
