Yeah I got it completely wrong.

Yeah that one’s on me. I did Google lens it, but I realized I had no hope of knowing what glyphs those were, I just assumed Japanese cause idk. But good call.

If it wasn’t obvious that the Debian box is a parody, here’s what the Japanese Chinese text along the top reads on each box:

Please read the instructions carefully and use it under the guidance of a physician. It is strictly prohibited to be used in food and feed processing.

Please read the installation instructions carefully and use it under the guidance of the administrator. It is strictly prohibited to use for server installation.

so yes, the title is correct-- this is not a coincidence, the Debian box was made explicitly for this joke

edit: thanks for the correction folks, honestly thought it looked more like Japanese than Chinese at first glance and I am obviously not an expert in either. Appreciate the call-out, very deserved.

“This is an isolated, ‘one-of-a-kind occurrence’ that has never before occurred with any of Google Cloud’s clients globally,”

Translation: “HELP I JUST BOUGHT THIS THING OFF AMAZON THAT’S SUPPOSED TO GIVE ME FREE TV TO DISTRACT MY KIDS BUT NOW ITS SAYING THINGS I DONT UNDERSTAND AND IM SCARED”

Also, please someone send her a L1ZY

They’re actually not that unaffordable, I was surprised. Starts at like $600 for single person 3-day, which isn’t amazing but is pretty fair as vacation budgets go.

I like your family, they sound like good people.

As a man, I still would not go jogging at night because that’s just generally unsafe. That’s how you get mugged, regardless of sex.

Undisputed best comment in the whole thread, as proven by vote.

Yeah I agree with everything in this comment except for the unnecessary hostility in the last sentence.

People can be slutty if they want. And people can judge you for being or appearing slutty if they want. It’s up to you to decide how to react to their opinions. If you want to dress slutty, then you shouldn’t care what people think about how you dress because you are just being you. And that’s not a matter of sex-- that’s a matter of self confidence. And you can’t blame your self confidence on other people, because at the end of the day you can’t change other people. You can either change yourself or empower yourself to resist change and forge your own path. It’s your choice.

It’s possible and sensible to acknowledge that people have had bad experiences while also acknowledging sexism, regardless of whether said sexism stems from experience. Prejudice is prejudice.

Saying women aren’t sexist if some men have wronged them is like saying white supremacists aren’t racist if someone from the race they discriminate against stole their car.

I really don’t want to upset anyone by saying this. But I am speaking my truth, my experience, just as you all are speaking yours. Paint me whatever villain you see fit, say whatever denigrating things about me you want. I am a respectful human being who sees all sexes and races as equal, and nothing that anyone says will ever change that. If that somehow upsets you, then I’m sorry you are so far gone.

Someone never cruised before social media was invented and now suffers brain rot. A lot of people actually.

Stare out at a vast expanse of water and think about life, children.

CIA needs to clean up the mess they created.

Biden Administration: if you want the vote, displace Netanyahu. Your constituents are watching attentively.

Just give up hope. It’s really not worth it.

I loved Pop!_OS as it made Debian/Ubuntu extremely usable as a daily driver. Finally I got fed up with outdated package bullshit coming from different angles and went to Rocky. Wish I did it sooner.

Appreciate System76, but they’ve dropped the ball hard and I don’t think it’s recoverable

No, you’re angry at IBM. When news of the IBM acquisition broke, sector veteran colleagues I’m close with moaned and groaned that IBM was sure to do something to piss everyone off again, which was apparently their habit a couple decades back. Sure enough, they could not have been more accurate in their assessment.

Turns out IBM is three hot messes in a trenchcoat and always has been. Hence why they have already lost the Quantum wars and likely the GenAI wars as well. One AI vet I know says they’re posed to even lose the AI war altogether, which is pathetic given the groundwork provided by Watson alone.

Happens to me when I eat nothing but beef jerky like I did yesterday. Just woke up like ten minutes ago with a fat man locked and loaded, had to lift my leg to make sure the ordnance cleared the fuselage.

Maybe it’s digested fat? Idk I’m no nutritionist

you have to flip the mouse on it’s back to charg it how tf is that logical

nevermind the fact that you don’t need to make legacy compatibility a hassle. The Darwin kernel should still maintain backwards compatibility and if it doesn’t then LMAO

Linux is freedom, Windows is serfdom, Mac is just dumb.
