  • I understand the cynicism, but, I actually think that GM knows what happened to Epstein. From reading interviews and her online presence, you can tell quickly that she is a very timid and fearful person in the face of all of this, but she also seems to display the usual sense of self-preservation that most of us have too.

    I think she knows that she is at risk of being ‘suicided’ by speaking to the US government. I don’t think Trump would get her to agree to say nothing happened and let her free, because if she is free and fucks off to Belize, she could still ruin his fucking life from 3,000 miles away.

    Personally, I think that the situation we are looking at is that she knows that if she doesn’t pipe up and drop more dirt, she WILL be silenced before that can happen. I don’t think it’s beyond the realm of possibilities that GM has a dead-man’s switch operating somewhere; for Christ’s sake, she was the chief of staff of the world’s largest and most elaborate sex trafficking and extortion ring.

    Why would it be beyond the pale for her to have shipped a box of Epstein’s hard drives from his Florida properties? They could easily have been shipped to some douche in another country who benefits from a trust for as long as they sit on that information, with instructions to release the documents online if GM is reported as dead.




  • Sometimes, designing systems for non-technical people requires a little compromise on the licensing extremism that is very baked into FOSS culture.

    It is why most Linux folks are stoked that Linux can play Windows games reliably — it means that millions of Windows lifers are getting exposed to Arch Linux for the first time. Sure, Steam is proprietary, and so are Nvidia drivers, but nobody decides to start with Linux and stay there (they do, but, I am talking single digit numbers vs the billions using Windows). Everyone has to start somewhere.

    That said, big frown on Ubuntu. I would personally prefer something like Debian that has fewer major update increments, or an immutable Arch setup.

    I feel ya, I’m in the same place. Weed helps the rumination a lot but then I’m just high all the time and not really present. I decided to take a big step back from online messaging. Now I try to either text directly or do FaceTime. I dunno why, but, after basically needing Internet to live for 25 years, I just feel so ready to put it down now.
