People who consciously use and support F/LOSS usually do it because they look at software with a very critical eye. They see the failures of proprietary software and choose to go the other way. That same critical view is why they are critical of most "AI" tools -- there have been numerous failures attributed to AI, and precious little value that isn't threatened by those failures.

Good ol' ScunthorpeM181. I was once banned from a school project on historical fiction and sent to the principal for writing "'ass" in one of the files. It was about Assassin's Creed. I was very close to calling that system removed, especially because it wasn't even English.

Oracle was one of the first companies on my personal shit-list. I feel validated.

I fucking knew it

Probably work on Château Picard. Like living in a hypothetical post-scarcity world, having all of your needs met is not an excuse not to do productive work, or to adopt selfish goals.

Sounds like that thing from Far Cry 5. They're not known for taking "no" for an answer.

Geoffrey is disqualified because his character is flat as a board. He was simply sadistic, evil for evil's sake, and his only motivation was to indulge. His presence enabled more interesting characters to have a dynamic, and allowed the plot to happen by legitimizing the Lannisters' claim to the throne, but on his own, he was a nothingburger, a one-trick pony, and an absolute tool. No offense to the actor, he did a great job, but I was glad to see the character gone.

Louise Fletcher fucking nailed her character. It's difficult to create a villain that the audience can hate with a passion. Fletcher and Ronny Cox (Robert Kinsey from SG-1) are the best villain actors I've seen.

Thinking about it, being circumcised probably reduces sensitivity a lot more than cranking the hog on the regular.

If you want something Debian-but-not-Ubuntu-based, give LMDE a try.

I've got like 120 hours in Civ5. Unfortunately I couldn't finish the second match.
