It’s a funny joke, I’ll grant you that. But to be serious, Volkswagen, the company, did not exist until after World War II. Mercedes, BMW, on the other hand…

Or, we all are. If they are intent on documenting the signal, we can at least increase the noise.

I have definitely looked into Asahi awhile ago, and knew that was the big one. It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that’s the only one, but didn’t know if maybe there were more.

How’s Linux running on ARM for you, and what distribution?

Not the point, I know, but since this is a mastodon post, don’t we have the ability to cross post and not share a screenshot?

History is written by the teenagers? Hardly.

Your metric of “does anybody care?” being what teenagers know is really not relevant. Teenagers know jack all about anything.

In a just world, they should feel that capitulating to Trump’s agenda would be actual suicide.

They should be equally as afraid of enabling Trump. That’s where we come in.

If not for portraits on money, would we all easily remember what Washington, Lincoln, et. al. looked like?

I’m sure part or maybe most of the reason the titans of industry ‘s portraits don’t live in most of our memories is because there were much fewer photographs of them taken. I’m sure I have an order of magnitude more photographs of my child on my phone, then existed any photographs of Rockefeller.

We remember Rockefeller and Carnegie because of the public works they funded. If Bezos and Musk and Zuckerberg want to be remembered, build some libraries.

He does. That’s why it’s fun to point out that it’s wrong.
