False! Gin is not angry, just disappointed that someone would order an inferior vodka martini.

Not when its vodka…

Yep, I am agreeing with you. The statement was never snap and deb are identical, its that canonical is making them do identical things.

You are missing the attribution. The person you are replying to is making a joke that Canonical says they are the same, not that they are actually the same.

Neither Notch nor Joan Roling (I am aware this is not her name, but if she decides others names for them I can decide hers for her) did it on their own. It is literally impossible to do so. Both of them 1) got insanely lucky, 2) got major investment behind them.

That major investment is were the billions actually came from. Its important to recognize “i recieved billions of dollars from shit fucks who got their billions the old fashions way, murder and exploitation, in order to promote my creation and make those billionaires even more wealth” is not the same as “the singular work of art that I produced generated a billion dollars of value for me without accepting tremendous amounts of blood money from the ruling class.”

It is not possible to become a billionaire without being guilty by association. You MUST participate in oppression because of the nature of capital.

Thats what the dutch east India company wants you to think

Can you post a pic of someone with black eyes? That sounds wild, and I’m curious what its like in your world where half of people just have pupils and no iris.

Its gonna be heavily dependent on location. Green eyes in Ireland… Way more common than say in Thailand

That’s not been my experience.

Granted, printers suuuuuck. But I was legit surprised when both the printing and scanning functions in Linux were hands down better than windows.

That’d work, but Sagan opted for portable fax.

Or, and hear me out, you could say “portable fax” and be done with it. YOU are making it complicated by not being culturally acclimated to the timeframe when it was written. Everyone knew what faxes were, no explanation was necessary.

Portable fax: thing that sends and receives messages

Portable Fax IS how you describe SMS in the 80s.

I dont mean that your understanding is unimportant, but that you inherently understand what’s being described to a degree that to hear it described differently than you expect you reject what you hear in favor of assuming the folks in the 80s needed more than “portable fax” to understand what you are on about.

How would you describe SMS to people in the 80s?
