I hate this timeline.

But of course. AI’s whole thing is plausible-sounding bullshit.

One time, I didn’t realize I had allowed all users to log in via ssh, and I had a user “steam” whose password was just “steam”.

“Hey, why is this Valheim server running like shit?”

“Wtf is xrx?”

“Oh, it looks like it’s mining crypto. Cool. Welp, gotta nuke this whole box now.”

So anyway, now I use NixOS.

At some level, everyone knows this.

But then we’ll go on and say stuff like “taxpayer money”, “how are we gonna pay for that”, or “our grandkids are gonna have to pay back the national debt”.

The pursuit of a “balanced budget” is one of the most successful bits of propaganda ever.
